You and I both know that doesn’t phase a number cruncher for more than ten minutes.

“All we really need is for our spells and abilities to change on a weekly or monthly basis.”

Don’t you get that with the normal patches already?

So that’s what we need! We, the hardcore players, need a number-crunching game. It only really needs a couple of dungeons, and doesn’t need levelling or gear or any of that. All we really need is for our spells and abilities to change on a weekly or monthly basis. Then we can math it all out, sort out what the first five abilities on each of our hotbars is, figure out the new role of each class, look into party composition, and hop to!

Shhh, don’t tell the uber-hardcore players that, or they’ll lose their sense of entitlement.

No, wait, please tell them that.

I’m sort of in a weird place. I have the head for the hardcore game, i.e., the number cruncher ability, but not the stomach for it. I’ve got one capped character in one game (CoH), and soon another in WoW. But I’ll never be a Black Temple player, or probably even a Karazhan one, and I don’t really want to be. But I love talking about theory, design, etc. I like ripping things apart to see what makes them tick. So I guess that makes me a wine critic, instead of an alcoholic?

We prefer the term “fortified wine.”

So far it is pretty clear that WoW isn’t the journey, it is the destination.
