Man, people that play MMOs, especially Wow, sure are funny. I've actually been sitting here laughing my ass off over this 3.0 debacle. Listen, I played wow for 3.5 years, and in that time I saw the exact same thing I'm seeing now. I've seen a 24mb patch totally bork the game, and people actually thought they could roll a patch that is hundreds of megs with no problems? Get real.

World crashes, login errors, authentications, massive downtime, the works. The richest part of this whole thing is the indignation pallies have over this hotfix nerf. Blizzard has proved over and over, for YEARS, that they have no concept of balance. People told them for MONTHS in beta that Ret was over the line. The patch goes live, and as usual when there is a class imbalance, Blizz uses a nuclear warhead to balance instead of a scalpel. Listen. Shut the **** up. This is how Blizzard works. If you haven't figured this out by now, you are a moron.

To the Pallies out there: Get over it. You have the bubble and heals, with amazing buffs. You know what that means? You don't get Rogue/Mage caliber DPS. It really is that simple. As long as you have the ultimate get out of jail free card, can heal yourself, and buff the living **** out of people, you don't get top end DPS and combat utility. So stop crying.

To all the complainers: You deserve this. You really do. Blizz dicks you over repeatedly, and you are going to take it, and like it. You aren't going to cancel, all you are going to do is shoot your mouth off over problems that have existed for 4 years.

I have a huge newsflash for everyone: Blizzard has a bunch of ****ty designers. Sure, the Art and Animation team is top notch, but when it comes to fundamental game design, they totally suck ass. That game, no matter what you tell yourself, has never, ever been balanced, nor will it ever be. I can't wait till the next arena season starts so I can witness all the crying that is going to go on. Hell, I don't even play the game anymore, and I still come here and the Wow forums just so I can get some LOLs from all the crying. If you ever complained about balance before, it is going to get so much worse with 10 more levels and talents, and even more skills.

I can't wait till people get to endgame. It is going to be a laugh riot perusing this site and the forums. The best part about all this crying, is a lot of it is coming from people who didn't even TRY War.

You deserve what you get. Put your money where your mouth is and quit. Either that or STFU and stop whining every patch, since the exact same BS happens every single time.

I didn't read past the first paragraph for 2 reasons:

1) your avatar is extremely gay
2) you used the word bork - "I've seen a 24mb patch totally bork the game"

Yeah, blizzard does have a bunch of ****ty designers.  And War is being dissed on because of animations that aren't perfect.  WoW animations aren't perfect either.

Warhammer is more balanced then WoW ever was and ever will be -- and balancing changes haven't even been implemented yet.  I can see Warhammer eclipsing WoW in quality if WoW***fanboys played the game and not with a twisted perception.

WAR is only balanced because it is no where near as complex as WoW. It isn't hard to balance things when the only game mechanics are spamming the same spell over and over again.

While I don't always agree with Blizzard's development decisions, it is absolutely crazy to regard them as "****ty designers". They have a lot more people to cater to than just you, so don't be butt hurt when things don't go your way.

I can't think of a single MMO that is completely balanced. It simply will not happen, and you are living in fantasy land if you think otherwise.

You've never played Warhammer if you think its about spamming the same spell over and over...  When it comes down to it, Warhammer has more intuitive mechanics.  WoW is not complex, its merely unintuitive due to bad design.  They can't even balance gear let alone character's statistics.  Its all needlessly

Warhammer is better in several ways.  No more ranks on skills.  Character stats are much better complimentary.  Damage, combat control, defense, healing, and burst are less RNG nor based on being able to LOS or chain CC someone.  Tanks have a place in pvp being able to effectively protect other players even if they're not acting as a direct meat shield.

Overall, action points are better than energy/mana/rage.  Because action points are accompanied by the class mechanic each class has.  Ironbreakers' grudges can replenish AP at the cost of additional defenses and offensive power.  Or they can dps directly with grudges.  Juggling the two mechanics is much much better. 

As far as blizzard's development decisions... right.  Blizzard has little foresight on how their changes affect the game whatsoever.  And they're poor on responding to the playerbase when they point out imbalances.  This is self-evident.  They're poor at implementing anti-cheating policies -- they use an axe instead of a fine scapel.  This is self-evident.  Even when they know they've ****** up they take way too long to fix the most simple ****.  And give excuses "WORKING AS INTENDED!!!!!!!!" when they can't fix a problem.
