The Gaming Den

I'm posting to say that the atmosphere here (culminating in this specific thread ) has become completely unbearable for me, and that I will no longer be visiting here. Thanks to all of the people who made reading this site fun, though, and especially Lago for being like, the most entertaining poster...

Yeah, really calling someone like that a "Trap" should be a compliment, since they look enough like a girl that they can trick people. And that's a hell of a lot better than just calling them a crossdresser, assuming their goal is to trick people. Getting called a "Trap" means t...

Great, females are cutesy and busty again. I suppose this isn't a good time to point out that there isn't a single creature in WoW where sexual dimorphism doesn't result in larger, beefier males? -Crissa The worst part is the stupid "no male blood elves" meme, when male blood elves are in...

How... how is that...

Your point was that something specific happened, but you refuse to even say what that something was beyond the vague explanation of it. EDIT: I'm okay with people hating WoW. I don't care at all if people do or don't. But I do care when people hate it or anything else for reasons that aren't even tr...

So you're saying Blizzard might purposefully implement it, because a bug caused it to happen once? Is that it? I'm honestly not clear, I have no idea what you're arguing other than a bunch of lies. And if you want to just hate something, go ahead. But when you say why you hate something, and the thi...

OotBI was raped extremely hard by Complete Warrior. I don't believe it's worthwhile at all anymore.

EDIT: Oh wait 3.0 I'm so dumb.

I give up. I'm not sure what I'm giving up, but I'm giving up something. And really, WHEN did it happen with arena scores? Really, name a time. Just one. Season 3, when they introduced rating requirements? Season 4? Season 5? Season 6? Season 7, 8? That's all of them, because season 1 and 2 didn't h...

But PvP gear can and should be better than, say, Naxx gear, or else it would be useless. Should it have been better than Naxx gear when Naxx was the top gear? Should it be better than Heroic gear when Heroics are the top? It wasn't, then. New PvP gear is released every season, just like new PvE gea...

Great. Now, explain how there's a PvP equipment in every slot better than what you can get without Naxx. So basically, you're guessing, while I can point to Druid forums where just this is suggestion, and taken repeatedly. I do not believe it is a problem that endgame pvp gear is better than non-en...

You've asserted that Ferals can't go Resto to PvP. No, I have not. I have asserted that very few feral druids spec resto to hit 2200 (which is not easy) just to quit doing arenas and use their t2 weapon for tanking. You've asserted all classes are equally represented (they're not). I said all class...

I'm saying that the statistics don't really mean anything. You've posted statistics and... haven't really said anything else. You said some things that were factually wrong, and appear to be asserting that druids are bad at PvP, which, again, is factually wrong. I'm not sure what you're even trying ...

I'm not trying to insult you. I am saying that if you have not played high end arenas, you are not qualified to comment on high end arena balance.

I don't get why that's an insult.

So... what's your point? That less druids participate in arenas than other classes? Because Druid healers are incredibly viable and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Fully 20% of the top 100 3v3 teams use a Druid healer, and Druids have a ton of viable comps. Representation doesn't say much about ...

What? No. They're random sets of servers which happen to be physically colocated. Over time this has led to homogenization, but battlegroups are known for being strong or weak. Mine is known for being weak. "Weak" batttlegroups are ones with less players. This pushes the average rating do...

This is incorrect. This is the 'top 5% this week' + 'in your battle pool'. You aren't competing against everyone - only those who have played this week, in your battle pool. Battlegroups are a representative sample of the entire playerbase. But this next thing is completely and totally wrong. Of co...

Cat, you're arguing stupidly. People do PvP for PvE equipment. Blizzard has done much to make PvP equipment only work in PvP - such as keeping you from getting killed. Top-tier PvPers just don't use my PvE gear. Sure, a piece here and there. And like you said, they can't just level up using all PvP...

But in PvP, the PvP trinket will win more often. Because it works differently . No, no it will not. Every single player who can get it uses DFO over the BM trinket, because DFO is flat out better. DFO gets you kills, BM trinkets sometimes extend your life by a tiny bit. But slightly extending your ...

Item level is not Tanking score. I was looking up the tanking score on the BiS list for druid tanks, actually. PS, I don't even get your whine about the spellpower trinket. One gets you a flat 150 (nice!) and the other gets you a spiked, stacking that in raid situations will 'average' 350 over the ...

Feral tanks are by definition one half of one spec; one half of the spec is tank, the other dps. But really, the tier 2 wrathful staff is a difference of 3 points from something about as difficult to get, and only 10 points above Distant Land. That is significantly less of a problem for feral tanks ...

Yeah, I'd imagine the trouble there comes from not wanting to create a specific set of leather tanking items when only one half of one spec of one class would make any use of them. So while something like Distant Land might be better for feral dps, feral tanks are stuck with second rate stuff.

I feel like I don't want to ask what the author possibly wrote to make you hate the character so much.

So your complaint is that the best in slot feral weapon is the feral weapon from arenas, which is only available as a reward to competent players (2200 or over). 2200 is a rating that is only achievable by roughly 5% of the population, which is about the same numbers as the people who can do hardmod...

No one who is past 2200 in arenas is doing it for gear, because there is literally nothing to get past 2200. PvP gear is only superior to PvE gear for PvP, with the exception of a couple Feral pieces-and most of the druids in arenas are resto! And they are going to try to make every tree work in PvP...
