    New World

    I haven't followed this game much, but I think weapons being tied to skills sucks ass. Why am I wrong?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    No idea about PvP in Shadowlands, but I think PvP was very balanced and fun through WOTLK. Anyways I've always thought Blizzard should make a DOTA type battleground. Pick a class, farm your lane, level up, get gear, etc. Would give honor like any other battleground, isn't just a bunch of decked...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Blizzard really just needs to create a World Builder using the WoW engine just like map editor in WC3 and take 35% of the profits of everything made with it just like Apples app store.... Their engine is so much better than any other MMOs and we'd finally have some fresh content from passionate...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Any particular class we should shoot for? Seriously contemplating playing. Also you guys plan on raiding or what? I never really got to do the TBC raids so could be fun for a bit.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Nothing wrong at all if you have fun. I always found the allure of being in the race or having unique items fun especially in EQ. Neither of those seem all that attainable to me so not sure I’ll bother. Naive of me to think people would take longer than a day to hit max I guess… certainly wasn’t...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Wow already at Ghoul Lord. I have no idea why I’m even bothering haha. I can barley remember the basics of this game. Seems like by the time I hit 50 server will be absolutely flooded with every item.

    Poll EQ TLP Mischief or WOW Classic TBC?

    LOL bro that's totally wrong. They weren't even hired until over half way through development. EQ had what 550K peak subs? You think the some odd ten million peak in WoW which is a far superior game in every way is because of a few dudes from EQ that maybe 1/4 of the population knew about? Sure...

    Understand your frustration, but don't pretty much all appliance makers fucking suck now? I just had to replace the diverter valve on my dishwasher that's four years old because it's prone to failure apparently and leaks water all over the fucking place when it fails (ruining part of my hardwood...

    Car ?'s

    I bought a 2014 F250 for $21,900 with 40K miles. It's at 65K now and it's booking at $30,000.... Totally nuts!

    Which business would you start?

    I am a solo MSP. Money's awesome if you're good and can sell. If you get nervous meeting with teams of business leaders/owners or talk down to end users don't bother. Not going to do some extensive write up, but every interaction matters. I've met people years ago and casually mentioned to hit...

    Wowzor. Granted I live in an area with zero natural disasters, but our house cost $595K and we are paying $650 a year.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Love me some D2, but I think we're definitely overdosing on nostalgia. I had multiple level 99's and the only rare rune I ever found was Jah which I promptly traded for a shit ton of SoJ's to purchase other gear with. As others have already pointed out without duping what is the currency? How...

    The thought that insider trading isn't happening on a semi daily basis seems very hard to believe. Much like government cronyism I suspect it's just the norm until you piss of the wrong person and then they slap your hand.

    At what point does WSB become the short seller lol? I think I'm a little too timid to try to catch a falling knife, but it's an easy 70% gain when this thing does fall if you short it at the right time.

    Investing General Discussion

    This is so totally true. A lady yesterday in a beat up minivan heard me telling a buddy what was going down on the phone and promptly asked me if I was talking about Gamestop. I of course said yes to which she responded that she had just bought some at $220. While I love the laughs it did strike...

    Despite the fact I never participated in any of these trades I just dropped another 3 K on a new gun, optic, 10 mags, and 1000 rounds ammo. Clown world is only going to get crazier until the hugs start lol.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Precisely. How many Corrutped Ashbringers or Might of Menethils were there in Vanilla vs in WoW classic and Naxx has only been out what a month lol? Naxx was literally the guild killer between the difficulty and all the scrubs realizing they were fucked when raid sizes were reduced to 25...

    Oh yeah sure... I vividly remember browsing all the CT profiles with Edgemasters, etc... (Do you guys even know what CT profiles was?) I remember some fucking Gnome warrior doing 700 DPS on Patchwerk or something like that and EVERYONE checking out his gear which might I add had NO WEAPON skill...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You can embellish all you want bro. I have a feeling you weren't even around in Vanilla. Nobody was using + weapon skill. Not a single fucking raider in the world was server firsting anything with edgemasters lol. Must be a pretty fucking shit game now if you want chill with a controller. I take...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    LoL. Aren't you the guy arguing a controller is just as effective? I won the Test of Honor (WoW) tabard when the fucking honor system was introduced. I was Gladiator the very first arena season ever. I was main tank for 90% of Vanilla and we were server first for EVERYTHING on our server... I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah cool sounds like moving goal posts. A fuck ton of poor people specced into fury/arms with enough in prot to get extra armor, defiance and a point in improved shield block. Not a fucking shocker, but you didn't see anyone running around with two 1 handers dual wield tanking EVER... Far as...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What a crock of shit. Can someone here show me a single fucking video of a dual wield fury tank in any of the 59 guilds that actually cleared Naxx Pre-BC. We cleared everything but 4 Horse, Saph, and KT which was more than most given how many guilds were dying off and our problem wasn't threat...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Right they've been over simplifying the game for years. Talents, abilities, itemization, etc. I realize in developer minds that it's a waste of time to code things that aren't necessarily "best", but much like in life a Ferrari is just another type of car it's rarity and uniqueness make it much...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yet I long for the days of 2 items per boss 40/25 man raids.... Modern WoW I can't even tell who has what, and feel absolutely nothing when I get an item. The excitement I got when getting Drake Fang Talisman, Cataclysms Edge, etc., was far higher than getting the same item +10 item levels or...

    Riot Games MMO

    Uhhh seems like you're over simplifying things. I mean Blizzard fucking had DOTA on their game for years as a custom map, and didn't realize its worth. Then made HOTS years after the fact which is basically third tier DOTA right now vs LOL and DOTA 2. Before WoW all they had made was ARPG and...

    This is how I feel whenever I resub. So many procs now and short cooldowns. Feels like I'm playing wack-a-mole instead of actually thinking, but maybe I'm just too old for this shit.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Pretty much agree. I saw in my local news that our two small counties had over 10k in unemployment claims in a week. We're talking about 290k people, and this was a week and a half ago. You think about a good jobs report is what 250k increase across the country? We are talking millions of jobs...

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    This is my concern. What is the all clear? They've framed this in a way that we even need to focus on keeping the curve down over 6-18 months, or eradicate the virus completely. So with that when is this going to end? We know the virus isn't going to be gone by the end of March, and I highly...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I feel like you guys are definitely mis-remembering. Original AV took forever. I could leave games and then come back hours later, re-queue and get into the same game. Nobody would even play that now that they know exactly how the honor system works. Not to mention AV was pretty much dead after...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Loot council is a dumb fuck system which does nothing to protect against human bias. The only reason to ever use it is if you're cutting edge and need items distributed perfectly. Why more guilds aren't using DKP is beyond me outside of the hassle of tracking points.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Reflecting on all of the expansions, I can't help but think they should've just been incremental patches. I would love to see their data as I would wager any increase of box sales is negated by people taking a few months off. I know my guild would've fared much better had TBC been in waves of...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I agree. I want the magic back badly, but if I'm honest with myself I will barley play, or not play at all. I have a wife, two kids, and a business now. I can't devote 12 hours + a day to raiding/PvP. I'm also not naive enough to think that I can forge the same relationships that I had in...
