What has happened to the game?
I haven't added any new content to this blog for quite a while now, mainly because I have been busy setting up my own guild, and that is taking more time than I ever imagined. You pour over the forums looking for potential applicants, posting recruitment messages. I had one applicant tonight, and when I asked him if he was looking to join the guild, he answered with "maybe." Ok, so I continued to jabber on about what we were currently doing and our plans for the near future and got no reply. Ok, so if you are going to add my battletag, please have the decency to carry out a conversation. As needy as we are for members, some just will not do. I promptly removed him as a friend and moved on.
Later in the day I went back into the forum, where I came across a post, that prompted me to write this. The title of his post was, "What has happened to this game?" Indeed! I was beginning to wonder myself when I see recruitment posts. I'm sure peoples real job applications don't take as much work as some people put into documenting their level of expertise within the game.
Guilds also have ridiculous requirements, almost like their lives depended on it. ilevel this and ilevel that, legendary cloaks, content cleared etc, etc, etc.....After all that, they want permission to criticize you? and you are supposed to take that on the chin? Not on your nelly.
What very few guilds look for is potential in the player, and players don't ever look for potential in the guild. This isn't real life, it's a damn game. If we were payed to play I'd understand.
Anyhow I replied to this post and someone had the audacity to quote something that I said, and of course I replied quite smartly in my opinion. Someone who says "Wat" is obviously a moron who can't spell. If he came to my guild I'd refuse him and his 17000 achievement points.
Now I understand that only a certain type of person will disagree with me on this, and it's exactly those people who I won't have in my guild. I'm looking for decent, down to earth players, be they experienced or not. All they need to do is enjoy the game.
So with the recruitment bull doo doo out of the way, I'll make a small mention to the new in game word, "Retard." Why is everyone using that word? Sometimes it seems they have a macro for it or something. In lfr it's spammed constantly.
I love and hate this game in equal doses. What makes me hate it so much is the idea that some, and I'll emphasise that SOME, (not all) of the players are allowed to walk around in the world.....free to annoy you in real life. How I'd hate to meet them.
Rant over!!
