oh you think the rearry is funny eh?
This is exactly what I'm waiting for and why I still play.That's exactly why I still play. There's nothing else to play, and I enjoy my hobby for a couple of hours a day. Waiting on T:Ascend or BF3 or SWTOR at this point.
Some people cling to anything. I gave up on lore as soon as they start retconn'ing shit. Then again you have to remember the playerbase back then isn't what it is now. Thanks to the merger with Activision I'm sure Kotick was the main force behind the plan to casualize the game and it's more or less downhill from there. It would make sense, doing so would make the game more accessible to more people, ergo more subscribers and more $$$. Problem is it results in lowering of the average player's "game IQ". They no longer try to do what you should be doing to play well or even mediocre at that point. CC'ing is like vaporizing fog, learning how to play your class is pushed aside for "personal playstyles" and "playing the game my way", etc. I remember the biggest crying recently was weeks post-release of Cata and people were still in Wrath-mode complaining heroics were too hard because they didn't want to CC and tank-and-spank everything with the healer giving you 60%+ of your total health back in one spell or HoTs ticking for 20% of your health, etc.
Heck you can tell just by glancing at the forums. Someone has some complaint about each aspect of 4.2. I'm surprised you still play Adren. Considering how frustrated you got with lazy guildies, standing in fire, etc. I would think it would be WORSE now than it was in the past.

Vivendi has the controlling stake in Blizzard. The Activision/Blizzard merger was Vivendi and Activision pooling their resources. Blizzard is still autonomous (and the only pre-merger Vivendi holding that is so) and has no dealings with Activision.
I played on a RP server with real life friends when I first started playing WoW, my mage "AtomicRabbit" was reported for not having a RP name. It was a fire mage shooting nuclear powered fireballs, RPers have no imagination.
The STK member list always had great names in it, it was very impressive how many versions of mossyfisted we managed to come up with, I think they were all DKs.
