EC explains how the current progression system is flawed

Little? That all depends on how long you've been munching on that corn. XD

I nearly pulled a muscle from laughing so hard.

Thanks, I really needed that. XD

We are the hogs.

Actually my fursona is a jackal. He hates corn.

Blizzards releases Twitter integration in a major content patch.

WoW STILL has the most Subs of any game in it's genre.

Clearly they are doing something right.

Yup getting foolish kids hooked on a lackluster game with no depth and very little skill required. Casuals can play too! Lets take an entire genre that was at once for a select few players took real skill and time and make it so an 85 year old grandpa or a 6 year old can spam buttons and still actually win somewhat. They ruined the genre.. they dumbed it down, and it was successful it made them money they have the subs. I give them that. But they made the genre I grew up with boring and now every game since then has emulated it and they too are boring. This game... has its moments.. but still very casual hand holding and easy.

Oh please, FFXI and Everquest did not take skill. They took time.

Much of WoW's success can be attributed to when it came out. It came out at an opportune time and reached critical mass quite early, and has been riding that wave.

This I can agree with.

But take a look at how many people raid in WoW, compared to FFXIV. ALL there is to do in WoW is raid. That's it. There is literally nothing else in the game. But the raiding in WoW is damn good. Still, to this day, it's the best. I hate the game for what it has become, but there is no denying that the raiding in the game is the best.

Sure, FFXIV has a ton of things to do outside of raiding. But the raid content itself is pretty lackluster.

World of Warcraft was, in its day, the greatest MMORPG ever made, I think. It's not the best anymore but what it got right it got wonderfully right and it's nonsense to say the game is never worth looking at just because its current iteration is awful. I mean, Yoshi-P was inspired by old school WoW when he worked on ARR. It shows. FFXIV has more in common with Wrath of the Lich King than Warlords of Draenor does.

Yea, how dare he mention the most popular game in the genre by far?!

Like it or not, World of Warcraft will be used as comparison till something will become more popular, not a feat i see possible tbh.
