Im fed up. Fix your game or everyone is done.
Dear blizzard -
I'm starting to realize that all you guys want are people to play this game. Minus the whole "challenge" that made it fun in the first place. So you want 8 and 9 year olds to play this game correct? What about your existing customers, who are all in the highschool/college+ age range? Naxxramas can be downed by people in quest blues and greens. Sartharion? What a joke. Wintergrasp boss? "The Vault". Yeah your really locked in there.. for 10 minutes.

FIRST STEP! Fire the people that designed your gear. Every helm I pick up besides the T7 looks the same. Gigantic horns poking out of a steel plated helm is just rediculous. Hey Blizzard, we already realise you dont listen to your customers but hey, were giving you money every single month to update this game and this is what you give us? After a long, long wait, you give us the easiest game on the shelf. Why? Read up top. You want customers, and you want more money. Isn't the $150 BILLION enough for you? Cant you listen yet?

What is with the "Deadly Gladiator" and "Hateful Gladiator" gear? I was expecting some better looking gear than season 4, and it so happens that i have a blood red pampers diaper sitting on my head, and a leather jacket that looks like Fonze's around my body. Real deadly guys.

So you take our money and you dont listen. This sounds like the American Dream to me. We want something that will not be completed in .. less than a week. Your game was competed top to bottom within a week. It wasnt just from a select few people, it was completed by hundreds of thousands of people within a week. What are those people supposed to do?

Wintergrasp! thats what theyre supposed to do! Alright lets head to wintergrasp. "We just knocked down that corner wall!" "What the heck? The wall just respawned.." "What is with this lag?" "Good job blizzard, good server maintainance"
So were supposed to wintergrasp with only 40 people? Any more than that on both sides (total of 80) it seems like the zone is about to just shut down completely. Uh oh, look at that! "World Server Down" Theres no game play involved with lag. What fun is it when your driving in a tank, full health, and 10 seconds later you see "release spirit" pop up out of nowhere.

Dalaran is the same way, people cant even go into this town because the lag is just dumb. People on my friends list come to dalaran and go "Online" and "Offline" for 30-40 minutes before theyre able to come back on.

We pay you money for this every month. Every year in the BILLIONS. And you still cant figure it out? You cant TEST your product? You gave a bunch of people the beta.. but did you listen? No. You never do.

You completely ruined the game. I like to come home, sit down and play a challenging game with my friends, and you gave us.... this. Going back to sunwell is probably more difficult than Naxx. Remember when T4 came out? Karazhan? That place was very, VERY difficult. And thats what was fun about it.. Its called progression. Where the heck did progression go? You just threw it out the window. Look back to Pre-BC, and BC. Your game was hard, and FUN. If i had my 6 year old cousin get all his 6 year old friends at his school to play this game (which is what you guys are marketing for, i might as well be hired by you guys) They could probably down naxx.

You guys arent even close to going out of business with how the Economy is, so what are you doing with all of your money? I want to start seeing a bill to where the billions of dollars go. Definately not the servers because they .. are not good at all. My server (Frostmane) has "World Server Down" so frequently that theres no point to playing. I'm sure were not the only ones. So where else could the money go? Into the designers? No.. obviously not when every piece of gear looks the same and every piece of PvP gear looks like im from the 1950's yelling "Ayeeeee" in arena battles, where im supposed to be "killing" my enemies in a heated match. OH I finally get it, your re-enacting "The Wanderer's" and you want us all dressed like the Ducky-boys.

Alright so what else could the money go to. Heres an idea! BACK TO US. We posted on these forums, throwing idea's at you for WOTLK, and had 50 page threads. Did you listen? No.

We wanted player housing. Is that too much effort to design that with $150 billion dollars a year?

We wanted better PvP, we wanted world PvP back. So you gave us Wintergrasp. Seems like your $150 Billion a year doesnt go into your servers, seeing as how wintergrasp is the reason northerend goes down so much on my server, and more than 80 people in that zone is just painful to my brain with all the lag I see.

You didn't add any world bosses to WOTLK. You took out the ability to kite any existing world bosses because they just despawn after a certain point. Kiting used to be fun.. Dragging the dragon Ysondre into org to get killed by everyone. No more. Remember when Highlord Kruul came to Stormwind and Orgrimmar? That my friends, was fun gaming.

Your excuse is going to be "The game has just been released, theres many things we are still working on" Well well well. Burning crusade was still challenging until you released patch 3.0.2, which entirely ruined the game. The whole game. PvP was dead and is still dead. PvE was fun for.. a week. Downing BT and going into sunwell in T4 and blues was fun. But I didnt expect WOTLK to be this dumb and easy.

This is funny also, as im writing this thread someone comes into my Ventrilo channel and is complaining about getting disconnected every time he logs back on. $180.00 a year is a slap in the face.

So, Blizzard -
You guys need to figure something out before you lose half your customers. But i doubt that matters, seeing as if you did lose 5 million customers you would still be making $100,000,000,000<--BILLION. A YEAR, not counting all the 6-7 year olds you will be picking up anyway, because your game is a joke.

Lower the price of your game cards. No use in paying $180 when we could pay $120 for a terrible game.

Sincerely,
That 18 year old customer of yours speaking on behalf of my entire server.

Well, there is a lot to say here. Your math isn't the best in the world, but that's okay. Hopefully you're on your way to learning more about business and costs. So I'll address points of your argument that merit some reply.



Q u o t e:

Yes, we want people to play. Lots of people. Varied people with different goals and levels of capability. What is more, we want these people to have a good time and enjoy the experience.

The content you've mentioned is all content that is meant to be an introduction to raiding in Lich King. It's not meant to preclude people and set a false standard. That being said, we feel that the difficulty of the content is in line with the rewards. While you may find it to be a bit less difficult than you woud like, I assure you a great many others do not.

Not only can we listen, but we did! Try to remember back to the Burning Crusade when players looked like multi-colored rainbows. Their gear was entirely mix-matched and there were many complaints about the experience and leveling in such garb. With Lich King, this problem has been largely eliminated. As you level, you collect gear that fits nicely together and helps to create a more whole look.

Yes, we're aware of the issue with Wintergrasp and latency. We're working on it as we speak.
