>>512895895no, we can keep being mean to new player and I can and will keep making fun of them for not having my oldfag trophies HOWEVER we need to not drive them from the game with shitty design choices and wretched self fellating storylines.
>>512895951fuck the sprouts, but we need some percentage of them to grow up. and in order for them to grow up into worthwhile players they need to grow up hard withstanding certain level of abuse. A tree needs bark and roots.
this guy
>>512895672is a retard and does not understand how MMOs work or survive.
Do you wanna farm all your crafting mats yourself faggot? do you wanna wait 50 minutes for a pvp que. or take 4 hours to fill a raid?
your mats are farmed by casuals or by bots who are selling gold to casuals.
your pvp ques are populated by normies who are bad at pvp and trying to git gud.
your raids are populated by straight normies unless you are in a selective mythic prog guild.
If you want a game full of "serious" players plenty exist. they are all the dead MMOs with 10k players. Everyone of those 10k still playing a serious sperg who like that paticular game for some reason and those spergs havent gotten meaningful new content in a decade and are viciously milked by the devs running their one remaining server.
the vast majority of gamers are normies.
you dont understand that because you are a massive autist as I said before.
consider that you are a massive autist when you think about stuff so you can perhaps adjust your expectations to be closer to reality and maybe even stop being a massive autist who is just always angry cus what you want and expect never aligns with reality.
products get aimed at markets big enough to sustain them the M+ and 2000 arena crowd is in fact not big enough to sustain an mmo.
