My outlook on Patch 4.0

Changes. With each patch and expansion. Changes.
I remember coming across a quote. It isn't mine but it makes since.

"The burning crusade will be the end of WoW..."

"The Wrath of The Lich King will be the end of WoW..."

"Cata will be the end of WoW..."

So uh...when was WoW supposed to end?

I say it's like Final Fantasy. The Final one was the first of many with no end in site. Just saying.

Patch 4.0
I see so many complaints. "Eh. My class is are nerfed." (I agree if you’re a Rogue) "The new UI sucks." "The talents, glyphs, play style etc.etc.etc sucks."
Uh...if everything sucks so badly why are you in trade chat QQ'n about it? Shouldn’t you have cancelled your account and switched to FF14 or Halo Reach?

Let me say. I've played every class in every way except druids. With the new buff system, every class bringing about 2 raid buffs per spec? Awesomeness. (Hunters being able to pop hero? Really cool.) I just see people whining about how easy gear is to get, or how easy the game has gotten. Ok, if you want to spend 4 months raiding AQ 40 to see your piece of gear finally drop to see it ninja'd by the new guy? Yeah. Have fun with that. Me personally, I'll take grinding randoms and PVP to get the gear I want. That way I know what I’m getting. How about turning 65 and rolling against one million other people to get your social security? That's why we pay a certain amount each paycheck. Or PUGs. The reality is that pugs are a good way to meet new people and friends. It's also a good way to fill that empty ignore list. ;) The random dungeon finder is a great tool. I think too many people take for granted the ideal of being able to hit a button and eventually, you get to run through that dungeon. Back in the day you had to find a tank, a healer and the DPS convince 3 of them to go to the meeting stone, and hope like hell they know how to play. I'm sorry, but I’ll take clicking a button and meeting people from other areas over sitting in trade chat or waiting for five guildies wanting to get together to do the thing.
I'm just saying, at the current state. WoW is becoming very doable by most people. I think it's at the point now that you still do have to put in the work to get what you want but you don't have to make WoW your life. I got it. All the "Vanilla wow was best" people aren't very happy but what they need to know is, either A, get a life, or B, be happy with the fact you're in a game where people can succeed. If you feel like being top dog play Call of Duty or Halo and make rank.

So, I thank blizzard. I think they are making some changes for the greater of good. I feel sorry for my rogue but eh, he'll come back. Just stick around the game and enjoy what you can. It's gotten so much better than Vanilla. (Lest we forget 2 minute blessing of Might.)
