what about the jerk who has attempted one of the filthiest, dirtiest, most disrespectful hostile takeover bids of the history ? has the dirt been ousted yet ?
no i dont think it is scientifically relevant. because it was not scientifically relevant during the last 80 years, but SUDDENLY became relevant with a democratic vote. is it how we do things now ? vote in scientific stuff, vote them out at whim ? facts change with what the voters in a particular period think ?
Disco isn't dead? no
You have nightly waltzes playing in all the hottest clubs near you? there are a lot of clubs for any kind of dance enthusiast. and 'hottest' is very relative.
The dance clubs play all their music for free and you don't need to pay every time you go? They aren't trying to make money off your entertainment? making money is one thing, MILKING customers is another. if a nightclub have disabled the water taps in their club in order to sell the customers bottled water in exorbitant prices, that would be similar to what blizzard is doing.
i have started online gaming with starcraft back in 1998. i still run the biggest national starcraft forum. dont jump into self conceived conclusions. but that was a different era.
Please understand that many do, and they're not being fooled or deceived in any way. they'll see in time.
to ask hordes of bigoted republicans to spam the blogs with comments including a lot of believer speech ending with the word 'fact'. they kinda think if you add the word 'fact' to any sentence, whatever bullshit you are spewing becomes more believable.
this whole thing has become a charade. first, they have 'declassified' a damn heavenly body that is orbiting the sun as a planet for billions of years, then invented a new classification to fill in the gap.
I still think you have it backwards. I agree that almost all the systems of progression result in gear improvement, but there are so many methods to achieving gear it's much more like trying to take a sip of tea from a 5 gallon bucket. Quest rewards, faction rewards, instance raiding, crafting and PvP are the main methods. Pick two and you've got several weeks of 25+ hours/week play to reach the highest level. methods matter little, when all of the methods are carefully calculated to make you toil around 3 months for 5% progression.
either time needs to be shorter, or percentage higher. for they have made gear progression the entire centerpoint of the game.
underbog differs little than blackrock depths. same goes for every other instance in the game. basically they are the same thing, in different combos, in different looks.
electric slide you learn next year wont risk being obsolete within 1.5 months of its appearance with a patch.
leaving one's enjoyment and the way its conducted to the whims of a company's lead developer is not wise. if blizzard was like google, if it cared for its players' enjoyment like google fought u.s. govt for its users' privacy, it would be acceptable to do it. but it isnt.
blizzard is just an underling of quarterly profit greedy conglomerate vivendi now. and its entire development approach has been made to be in line with the 'make huge quarterlies, screw everything else' line of thought vivendi has.
in wow you have only your memories. everything else, and what memory you are gonna have next is at the whim of a lead developer in a software company. and that company does not have a good track record of caring for the players lately.
in everything else that has been given as example, you are the decision maker when it comes to your hobby.
And you are posting on Slashdot. What do you have to show for it...only memories and the ability to see your messages of the past. If we go with this stupid model airplane thing, you should have been making a model airplane instead of posting on Slashdot. dont post again, if you are gonna make such shallow analogies, for you wont get an response for the second time.
with your logic its no point chatting with your spouse or your parents either.
We do a lot of stupid things to pass the time and enjoy ourselves. Judging someone on how they spend their free time is pretty sad. And I am tired of coming on Slashdot and reading people telling people how to live their lives and then spouting off some libertarian philosophy on how no one should interfere with their lives. Isn't that just a tad hypocritical? ill tell you what is hypocritical. what is hypocritical is delegating your hobby to pass the time to the hands of a company which is bent on just making you pay continually and doing that by regularly introducing stuff that will make whatever you did obsolete, a thing of the past, zero, nada, zilch, leaving only memories.
when i build a model airplane, it doesnt go obsolete and impossible to make use of with the advent of a patch from a company in 1-2 months time. i dont come home and find my all model kits melted to dust overnight.
or when i post at slashdot, neither slashdot moderators or their parent company regularly edit my posts and discussions so that i have to repost them, therefore using the site more for their own profit.
if you ask me, im also tired of wow fanbois blabbering bullshit about their darling game, whilst there has been and will be thousands of other prominent computer games in the past and into the future. this was the reason i have ceased playing wow in the first place, despite i come from starcraft school and a natural pvper and progress gamer in core.
in dancing, what you do doesnt get obsolete, or useless either. if you learned salsa, it stays with you. what you know doesnt get reduced to nothing with planned, regular release of a yearly 'salsa expansion'.
The democrats try to solve everyone's problems by taxing the rich and taxing corporations, because it's easier to get the majority, who aren't rich, to go along with that. The whole two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for lunch thing. despite having been educated as a liberal capitalist, nowadays im all for what you said before, because wherever i look, i see big corporations making heaps of cash, but not paying their due by procuring tax cuts, incentives and so on.
after all, we try to promote big companies so that they should add to the general welfare of the population, right ?
what use is 100.000 jobs and the resulting chain effect boost in economy a megacorp creates, whereas 10.000.000.000 jobs' (economic value) worth of profits lay untaxed in swiss banks ?
the government has become a business in u.s. because you people allowed it to be made so.
you allowed 'donations' to politicians from corporations, you allowed republicans argue for total obliteration of government strength to such an extent that government has become a totally weak, pathetic entity. and naturally, its representatives, senators, are much more open to 'donations' and 'guidance' from private sector, than under a stronger but balanced government.
examine european union. examine how powerful is union when it comes to dealing with corporations. megacorporations are not able to make a toy out of the government in europe, because there is huge european parliament, heaps of commissions and committees overseeing everything. you cant make 'donations' to buy any representatives, because representatives dont need it, and if they take it and try to yelp your cause in parliament and eu commissions, they know they will stand out and get whacked eventually.
i see sh@tty extreme republicans there in u.s. still yelping out that a government more pathetic is 'better for business'. unloading the blame for every kind of mishap in the economy on the government.
yet, while u.s. economy is going downhill despite its previous lead, 300+ mil population, europe, especially scandinavian countries are making a killing economically - even though scandinavian countries have pathetically low populations. and they are health insured, unemployment insured, this and that insured to the toe by their governments too. how does a region which has 'more government' like europe can whack out a totally republican environment of 'better business' like u.s. ?
ill tell you why. greedy self centered republican hordes in your country have made a corporation's toy out of your government, and your country. and you let them. thats why.
with the examples they have given, ie model airplanes, you have both the memory and the thing to show people. what you have are only images of memories.
what you are missing is, the game entirely turned into a gear progression game, majority of the content is reduced to this, and what you get happens to be 5% over 3 months. its like drinking a cup of tea with a dropper. and the sole reason is to satisfy shareholder greed.
they didnt prioritize war veterans. they didnt prioritize catrina survivors (still). they didnt prioritize healthcare. but see, they are prioritizing 'intellectual' property.
united states is falling behind europe in all respects.
the achievement fulfillment you get from building model planes, or collecting bottle caps, stay as they are. each of the becomes a permanent piece in your collection. they do not get obsolete with yearly introduced expansions and get thrown away.
oh oh yea. im desperate. bitter. lack 'skiLLz' and whatnot.
you should go back to the pvp forums in your bambino haven and babble there. i have quit that game to get away from the idiot bambino fanboism you are displaying. go worship at the altar of your cash cowing overlords. i bid you a formal farewell.
your problem is psychological projection. research what that means.
my issue is not with OTHERS in the game. my issue is with my own progression in the game. regardless of how far ahead or behind you are compared to others, its still a '2 month grind for 3.5% gear progression' game.

you need to work on your popular culture jargon.
"renewable" energy in today's jargon means an energy source which can be reproduced efficiently and freely, as opposed to oil.
