The real reasons player population is declining

May God have mercy upon your brain cortex.

Yes. When I make a new character CCP forces me to watch hours of videos telling me why I hate WoW and then they waterboard me until I agree. I usually agree once they get out the towel. CCP calls this extreme marketing. Fortunately before leaving my house CCP Falcon put the glass he was drinking from in the sink so I didn’t have to go looking for it. /sarcasm

I think you caught him as the meds kicked in. Unfortunately…

He appears to be building up a tolerance.

To be entirely fair, Aura and friends’ droning during the tutorial could be considered torture. :stuck_out_tongue:

The inmates are running the prison.

You seem incredibly salty lately. Care to enlighten us why? Was antimatter involved?

Damn you should hang around Goldshire on an rp realm they don’t care about gear or even clothes. Otherwise nice WoW rant, but typing all this on a forum dedicated to internetz spaceships is a bit weird.

Unlike Hotel California hueeeeee

If it involves two Night Elves and a Dwarven Handcannon, I’ve already heard it.

Oh, NOW you think things started getting weird?XD

That dwarven hand cannon vibrate by any chance? Do i think things are getting weird, the answer would be yes especially if that dwarf jumps into something a little bit blingy leaves azeroth for the big beyond and jumps into the nearest wormhole.

There’s already an ā€œeroticā€ WoW film.

Aye the poor bugger turned his back on mining, now he’s out there somewhere in a blingy ship armed with anti-matter.

Sorry to ask but to whom are you referring.

Easy to backchair crit without stating all these great facts you obviously understand better than captain Bastard. Grow a pair and explain your convictions on the topic or shut up.

Well, it was 2 and a half months ago when I made that statement. At the time, I had explained myself in at least a dozen other identical threads.

People play a game because it is rewarding. No other reason. It activates the dopamine pathways in the brain. People stop playing a game because it stops being rewarding. Not because of any complex rant about morality or ganking or wardecs or any of the other reasons people use as an excuse for being bad at what they do.

The core of something being rewarding is the fun:suck ratio. If things don’t have a certain amount of suck, they aren’t rewarding. There has to be challenges to overcome, otherwise the fun loses its sparkle. And that’s why this thread is stupid, why it didn’t deserve a full response, and why nobody bothered asking for one until now. Threads like this complain that there’s challenge, and that the challenge is other people.

And, now I’m bored (and have been bored of this thread basically immediately and stopped following it months ago) and I don’t have much respect for someone bitching about a 2 1/2 month old post, so I’m not going to bother bringing my idea full circle to deconstruct original topic. And, if 2 1/2 months of not posting isn’t ā€œshutting upā€, well up yours. It looks like I am nothing more the canvas upon which you paint a self portrait of your own stupidity.
