Always a silver lining

[Vanguard319]

For all the faults in this game, from the awful server lag, to elitists, to the rampant RMTs, I wonder how things could have gotten so bad...

...Then I find stuff like this and think maybe things aren't so bad after all.

I don't get it? Hat'n on WoW to make FFXIV look better? lol Silver Lining? (>_> Riiight few hours of hacking doesn't make WoW look bad, and it got dealt with. FFXIV is 2yrs.. still being dealt with...

[Zantetsuken]

hacking doesn't make WoW look bad...

Agreed.

What really makes WoW look bad is Blizzard's art/design team.

Aesthetically revolting...

Not my intention, my point was considering enough people are upset by the bugs still present ingame, what would happen if players just instantly died for no clear reason? idk how WoW's death penalties work, but I'm sure people would not be happy about having to return to a hp that may be in another zone or having all thier gear wrecked in under a minute.

I also thought it was worth mentioning since the article mentioned the hack was an exploit that was present in the Pandara expansion, which came out not too long ago. Again, how do you think people would react if they log into ARR for the first time, and instantly died repeatedly and inexplicably within the first week? People were pretty upset with the first release, so ARR's release will likely be under an increased amount of scrutiny.

Of course, if every cloud had a silver lining, we'd all be crushed as they came falling down.

And the silver market would crash...
Haha, though if I had been present i would just be laughing at the whole thing... while repeatedly dying
Can you imagine how this player base would react though?
