To Jeffrey Kaplan (aka Tigole), game director for World of Warcraft :
I just visited the new daily quest zone you created in north of azeroth for allowing players to earn cash.
i have seen from the daily quests that with a few hours, you can make mind boggling amounts of cash each day.
it is only rational that, if you had ramped up the gold that npcs pay for those quests, and minimize the gold/items that drop from the npcs on that island, using a bot to farm gold would be totally pointless, because there is a limit to the amount of gold you can generate through mowing down any amount of mobs or farming resources, even if you use a bot. furthermore, it is impossible to repeat a single daily quest for a character, making it impossible to use a bot for repeating a quest. not to mention that you made quests complex enough so that only humans can cope.
so im asking why you felt the need to sue glider. was it the game developers' decision, or was it the decision of some jerks in legal/financial department.
we should beat chris with a thick stick, for creating 'evil paladins of light' with the blood elf paladin concept. for the first time in any major lore, light is affiliated with some party that is on the evil side -> remember blood elven chose to side with head villains of wow to acquire the mana they need, and this is also reflected in the intro of tbc doing evil.
but judging from the mac users on the net and in my life, i can say that they are rather on the raw end of the stuff related to technology. and generally use their macs for loading music to ipod, creating albums, and resorting their playlists and whatnot as a normal user.
i really dont think they are a force to be reckoned with in online gaming.
he is saying allow botting for everyone. so everyone will be able to bot. instead of you grinding that gold manually in 10 hours, bots will grind it for you, like anyone else. since there is an amount to how much grind that can be done even in automated fashion, there will be a cap to the gold that enters the market every day.
I dont want MBA types deciding what price should an album from a particular artist should be sold. they naturally decide on how much they can get out of the pockets of the consumer.
and since, artist is bound by contract to the label, it is another form of monopoly - you wont be able to get records of that artist from any other label.
lets not fool ourselves. this is no competition. just like in the fields of patenting, it hurts our society.
we need market decide what they want to pay for any music piece. or, the artist even.
immediately relinquish all the social rights you have against your government that were won for you by hippies in the 60s. better to get beaten to oblivion by police brutality, than get associated with the 'smelly' hippie in the corner, isnt it ?
Some theorycrafters put up some calculations in wow europe forum, regarding the dps difference in between pure dps and hybrid classes.
over time, it seems to be boiling down to just 15% difference.
thinking that hybrids bring in much utility to the game, and, taking into account the fact that whereas a hybrid can have much more content in terms of playstyle, because they have different options for playstyle. (a shaman can heal or spec to caster, or to dps with enhancement for example. it just takes at most 50 gold to respec for anything).
this leaves pure classes a bit in the rain. their only differentiation from a hybrid class that can do much more is just 15% in dps. the only thing they can change in regard to playstyle is the style they do dps, through their talent builds.
dont you think that is a bit being unfair to people who rolled pure dps classes, or pure classes even ?
the household brand names you are so accustomed to from germany today were producing similar stuff pre-nazi era. with the advent of nazis, they have transitioned to producing machines of killing and profited from it highly and therefore both supported the nazis before they got power in anticipation of this, and supported them after they got power and started a world war.
they were just corporations like microsoft, normal companies, back in the day.
this is a transition. a company's actions transforms both its big wigs and employees and its characteristics. if we let microsoft to have its way like this, it will resort to this kind of action more and more, and totally transform the i.t. scene and itself in the process.
you shouldnt comment about stuff you dont know zit about. lest, you may get shamed. now on to shaming :
before the slaughter of jews, there was the power grab. and in the power grab there were a lot of companies that aided nazis because they were benefiting from their rule. a lot of big german industry names you know today, shamefully fall within that group. it was their support that provided the nazis with the final leg of their power grab, ending in 1933 reichstag fire.
analogy holds. the behavior model of those corporations and these corporations at hand, coincide.
its because a multitude of stupid morons using the internet have taken to a stupid fad named 'godwinning' and started to debase and trivialize the biggest lesson mankind ever learned ?
the woman CONFESSED in front of a senate committee for god's sakes. she said 'i made a mistake'. they asked, how many times, she said FORTY.
leave aside being flamebait, this explains how big a joke department of justice is, and what motives it has for accusing google with undermining yahoo.
A lot of people on Slashdot forget how many companies rely on Microsoft's dominance of the market to make a living. Instead of thinking "Well, maybe the reason a lot of companies registered to vote is because their profit margin relies on OOXML becoming a standard", they instead jump to the most extreme conclusion they can find.
there were a lot of companies who depended on the nazi party to make a living. and they did.
results were less than desirable for entirety of the rest of the world.
just because someone needs to make a living doesnt justify any of their actions by itself.
department of justice, the department which has had its all applicants and candidates for positions of power 'screened' by a bitch of bush administration, who later admitted to screening candidates more than FORTY times in regard to their political views, BY 'MISTAKE'. a mistake that has been done forty times.
department of justice is a joke, and is a puppet at the hands of bush administration and whichever big buck corporation that supports it. yea, you got my meaning.
You youngsters have the internet and all you can come up with is commercial jingles and Emo. WTF??
dont go hard on them.
the 'F' here is that, these times are no 69s anymore. pace of life picked up greatly since 80s. it is a much more competitive, tough and hardworking world. kids are being put to compete (and rightfully so because of living conditions in each country) right from junior grades so they can get a footing in life later. even when you graduate college, its still more hard work for less pay for the same work you people did back in 60s. its like that in every country. world has 7 billion+ population now, with more coming.
these times ARE emo. emo music just lets kids to unleash their feelings about the times they live in. as much as rock'n roll was a flag of rebellion against conformism, emo is a burst out in response to the unbelievably pressurizing and stressful life of 2000s.
And because of that, there will no longer be the *need* to make albums that people are likely to listen to for their entire lives.
and WHEN did it happen, except a few albums that came out from a few cult groups in 60s ?
almost ALL the albums i have ever known about (and even still) during my teenage and youth years were comprised of 2 good songs (one made hit, one made single, less successful generally) and 12 other crapola songs.
basically it was a means to get more cash from customers, nothing else. i dont remember listening to more than 2-3 songs in any album.
socially stunted geeks who can figure out how to set up their preferences to not display "idle" submissions, but doesnt do so and actually read those 'idle' submissions ?

all it did was to alienate listeners.

the ones with brains that is.
im really, really wondering what they will be able to say at the wake of such blatant filth playing by microsoft.
really, im honestly asking, is there anyone who thinks there is ANY part to microsoft left that can be referred to with respect now ?
aaand ?

protesters that have pissed off the Norwegian public to the point that it's now a symbolic action to keep it going.
acting with stubbornness, like a middle eastern nation who havent been able to grow out of religious dictatorship yet ...
norway got way lowered in my perception scale of civilized countries just now, with your post.
total filth.

and the parent's parent's parent are modded insightful ?
are there any morons among us, who are STILL saying that microsoft did nothing wrong in this ooxml scandal ?
Now if only norway stopped whaling, i would be able to put it in my small list of 'Wonderful countries of the world' next to sweden.
