Being good in WoW doesn't take a lot of skill there's just a ton of bad people. That being said there have been plenty of challenging encounters in WoW's history so that point was off. being good in WoW requires time investment, it's more like "90% of players don't invest their lives into the game" That's completely wrong. I was in a guild that was ranked 12th in the world at one point. Time investment is very minimal when you are deciding if someone is good or not. Time investment just determines if there is room for you in a certain guild atmosphere. There are plenty of good players that do a great job, with shitty gear, that simply cannot dedicate the time some people can. These are the players that benefit from the new raiding style the most. Because the new raids are small, and non-hardmode guilds get gear that is only a step below the hardmode gear, the good players that do not have the time to play hardcore and see the hardmode (Even if they are good, they simply do not have the time to make 50 attempts on hardmodes for 3-4 nights a week,) so instead they blow through two things: new easymode content, old hardmode content. Therefore, they will get the following accomplished: - Their raid schedule consists of very little challenge if they are good players and not attempting hard modes - They will acquire the most loot in the shortest period of time - Because of how frequent most mid tier dungeons release, they lose the least in terms of gear score comparitively to the time they have input on attaining that gear. WoW caters to the casual, this is a prime example. Good players that don't have time to be hardcore reap the highest amount of benefits. The only thing that is absolutely lower, overall gearscore of attained items. | ||

Haters will be hating. As long as skill is a determining factor, skill differences will come to light in a competitive environment. WoW bashers just trash WoW to make themselves feel better for not playing it. If they're so confident that it's a skill-less game, they can subscribe and join the tournament realm to prove it. | ||

The only thing that has ever been difficult about WoW's PvE is finding enough people who aren't retarded. For intelligent players, there has never been a PvE encounter that was even remotely challenging. I know at least in EverQuest there were a ton of difficult encounters. It's true if you gear up and follow a guide, virtually every encounter is easy. But if you know nothing about an encounter and you haven't farmed the hell out of everything that comes before it, they can be pretty damn difficult. The guilds who get first kills or close to first kills aren't made up entirely of people with progamer talent, but they aren't just "not retarded" either. I didn't follow WoW progression much so I can't speak to that but I imagine it's somewhat similar. The people playing the game without spoilers and guides and walkthroughs have a stimulating challenge while everyone else gets spoon fed encounters and hopes to not be held back by complete idiots. | ||

4H remains the longest time between first encountered and killed without any balance tweaks at 7 weeks, those were the days of raiding... | ||

It's sad that PvE got 10 times easier after TBC, but I guess guilds improve too.. They should make PvE so much harder :\ | ||
