I guarantee you, on my GR account, that this game will not be balanced come patch 3.1. Every time I enter arena, I become frustrated with the numerous glaring issues in arena. Ghostcrawler is the biggest douche bag to walk Blizzard HQ, since Kalgan. The main problem they have is they are communicating with the WRONG audience. The bulk of their attention is directed toward the official forums, where the average retard and Levidia make their home.

A lot of my friends joined the game when arenas were introduced because of the competitive factor. If you're not going to see the E-sport deal all the way through don't begin the push in the first place. Stop giving your attention to the casual (retards) playerbase and actually show some support for people with IQ's higher than 90.

I used to like the style of Pre-BC 2-shotting downies with Ambush Backstab thistle tea Eviscerate but I've since wised up and taken a liking to the competitive part of the game (Albeit not perfectly balanced, obviously). The right thing to do is to become more in-contact with people like Serennia. People who know their class inside and out, and discuss the finer points of PvP with them, not the drooling Warlock complaining about a rogue killing his 12,000 Hp 56 resilience Warlock on the damage dealing forums.

Only after we've nerfed and the game is in a more balanced state can they worry about bringing up the lesser specs like Ele/Enh shamans, Spriests, Combat/Shs rogues (not dance), Arms warriors, etc.

Holy Paladins are overpowered. Retribution Paladins are overpowered. Feral druids are overpowered. Hunters are mega-overpowered. Death Knight Shadowfrost and DRW is overpowered. If you don't agree with me, then I have some advice from you, straight from Radikal from Radikalnoise.com: Kill yourself.

**** yeah.

Only reason something should die is if the Healer is OOM or CC'd. Raw damage outdamaging heals is retarded.

Shouldn't this post be in WoW general?

*****ing, check.
QQing, check.
Bashing a blizzard employee, check.
Pretending you could do a better job than said employee, check.
Telling people who don't agree with you to die, double check.

everybody knows that 3.1 will come nowehere close to achieveing any sort of blance within the game. i mean, half the community is just hoping that it just isnt a step backwards. but then again we still have 45 minutes= 16 point loss changes going through.

There's far too much wrong with the game for them to fix it in 3.1. They would have to revert so many WotLK additions and I think blizzard are too stubborn to accept that many of their ideas have been failures. Even if they do miraculously balance the 4 or 5 broken classes, there is still the issue of OP healing, OP damage, bad arena maps and pve gear plaguing the game.

When the lead designer states that survival hunters are balanced, you know there is a serious problem at blizzard development. I don't think that the awful PvE and PvP balance was an accident, I think that it was sheer incompetence. Their internal testing is bad, their coding is bad, and their design philosophy is awful. Did they really believe that making tunnel vision damage viable would improve the game?

Absolutely agree with you hereand you're a brave man for putting your account on the line. Haven't seen anyone yet making such a sacrifice, even if the odds are greatly in your favor.
Hopefully this blog will stimulate blizzard into working those extra ours to make a fully balanced game come 3.1, although I'll sadly miss you my friend.
