I said reps would be posted so here they are, enjoy: ![[image loading]](http://repdepot.net/img/thumbs/15376.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://repdepot.net/img/thumbs/15317.jpg) I'm not amazing at this game by any means, I'm like the low end of D/D- so I hope you're not expecting insane play on my part. I'm the T by the way. He said he wants a rematch after he gets some more practice. He'll most likely be switching to P for our rematch he said. Take what you will from that. ^_~   | ||

Weird that you actually found someone who thinks skill means something on wow. Most of the wow players actually agree that skill is irrelevant to succeed there. | ||

One of them who is a PvE'er today, now tells me that those guys that we used to mock of how bad they were. Those that we would make gold selling arena points to on S2~S3. Nowadays those same guys are the ones with 2500'ish rating and gladiator tags. lol I quit last month. I finally realized after 4 years that Blizzard simply does not know the correct way to balance WoW pvp. If you followed the last couple of patches hunters were at the bottom, got buffed and shot to the top, then got nerfed and dropped to the bottom again. It made me realize that WoW 100% revolves around what buffs/nerfs you get and has very little to do with actual skill. When warriors are good I face roll to 2100 easily, when warriors are bad its almost impossible to hold 1600 (see: WotLK release). | ||

This is a secret that can only be accomplished by the most ELITE (note my name) gamers on earth, most of you scrubs should not even be able to look upon this secret WARNING: MAY BE TOO 1337 FOR YOUR EYES, GET READY + Show Spoiler + I spammed a 1 button macro that I created while watching TV StarCraft is so far ahead of WoW in terms of skill required it isn't even funny. So many incredibly stupid people play WoW, and since it is so easy, people think they are some amazingly talented gosu or something. Being in the top 5% of WoW players is about as hard as hitting the middle hole in ski ball at chucky cheese (aka put in a bit of practice and don't be completely retarded and you will be able to do it perfectly). Also, I have found out from experience that if you meet someone in real life that says they are good at starcraft and will destroy you, there is a 99.9% chance they are rocking 20 apm, have never heard of iccup or tl.net, and think the protoss computer is a strong opponent. If you are able to keep a rating of 900+ or better on iccup you should be able to win 99% of the games you play against them since the skill level (well not relative to the rest of the community) is actually pretty high at the D level. | ||

both games require an infinite amount of skill. It's impossible to control 200 supply worth of units in starcraft perfectly, and it's impossible to have .01s reaction times in wow to play perfectly. If you want an expert on this subject, ask Stork- he plays starcraft and wow at a high level. (no wonder hes been slumping in sc lately) most A level starcraft players will suck at WoW when they start playing and most 2500+ rated WoW players will suck at starcraft when they start playing, hence this argument over skill will never be ended. | ||

WoW is not a comparison - it's a fun game, not a competitive one. It's never and can't ever be balanced. This being played competitively is just a result of so many players putting so much time into this game, not a result of it being suited well for competitive play. | ||

Most people don't care about that and don't like putting effort into becoming faster at button mashing. WoW is not a comparison - it's a fun game, not a competitive one. It's never and can't ever be balanced. This being played competitively is just a result of so many players putting so much time into this game, not a result of it being suited well for competitive play. ya im sure all the builds and timings are incredibly easy to figure out and put to good use..i cant believe u just used botton mashing to describe startcraft -_- | ||

Most A level starcraft players will suck at WoW because they'll realize it's stupid to be "worse" than someone because you don't spend 56459085690 hours farming stupid shit like gold, doing boring ass raids, or farming the pvp system(notice everything is fucking farming). It's almost always gear related, I can easily tell if I'm leagues past someone in skill but he just has a bunch of SSC gear or some shit. Being good at WoW PVP or PVE is so fucking easy it's not even funny, when my friends and I played we had shitty ass gear and still did good in BG/Arena. Raiding was a waste and I regret it, although there was some cool people I met in the guild. | ||
