    That statement is indicative of the mentality for a large portion of WoW's user-base.

    I can understand how you feel about WoW. I may not have worried about the lore or story too much, but overall WoW has become a franchise that is directed at the lowest common denominator and making as much money as possible. With this came a watering down if you will, of many of its aspects.

    I will never say technically WoW is trash, in fact I would say the exact opposite. Blizzard always seem to strike pure genius when it comes to appealing to a large an audience as possible. Sadly though we are in the vast minority with our feelings about WoW (Blizzard as a whole), and while I get why so many people like WoW, I have grown to hate it.

    Watch me be a hypocrite and try the new expansion. There is something about Blizzard's hype that always seems to make be buy into the concept - they really are true masters of that!

    It's total genius. It's so genius it makes me want to slap them :P

    Honestly who could blame them? They're probably the most successful game company ever. So go Blizzard. It's just painful to watch ><

    It the kind of evil genius that is almost akin to subliminal messages in their products - I am convinced its in there!

    My bladder took a beating in both Diablo and WoW during my peak of playing them... "Muuust play more, just a little more, just this last thing, oh wait there's also this", and so on >_< But I consider myself saved... until Diablo III!!! *cough*

    Nice Read, Shamrock. I agree with virtually all you have said.
    What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.

    Shamrock - with regards to your irks with the new race-class combos...don't you think that Undead Priests were stupid right from the start?..

    In a way, yes. In terms of a Holy Priest I think it's utterly retarded, but I find the idea of an Undead Shadow Priest kind of cool. And Gnome Warriors, I think that's stupid, but that's also ironic. Other than that I think the class combos made sense previously.

    Exactly. Hence my reasoning - if you're going to hell you may as well enjoy it Since we already have Undead Priests, we may as well have Tauren Paladins.

    Dwarf Shamans don't sound stupid though considering according to lore the Dwarves are descended from Earth and as a result are in actual fact elemental beings.

    elemental beings o.O?
    So elves are also elemental beings?
    So Dragon = Dwarf = Elf

    Dwarves are descendants of Earth. One of the elements is Earth Shamans make use of Earth. Therefore, the idea of a Dwarf Shaman is not silly to me at least.
