Yeah, so I’m basically fuckin bored right now. I’m probably going to resort to playing some good old fashioned Super Smash Bros. I just finished playing Starfox 64, which I beat, despite it being infinitely difficult toward the end. I seriously don’t remember the game being that damn hard!

I was playing WoW earlier but I got bored of that. Horde are douche bags in PvP, and it seems the Alliance doesn’t know how to play at all, so I end up getting gang-raped by about 30 other players at once while the guys on my team just stand there looking like retards. I really don’t see the skill in ganging up on people. Not like they need to, since Blizzard clearly favors the Horde anyway, and they are far more overpowered than we could ever hope to be. And we just keep getting the shaft.

I remember a day when Warlocks were OP, and nobody could beat them. Then things got balanced out a bit. Now we get owned hardcore. Or at least I do. I never seem to stand a chance, and I’m a good player, in very good gear. I just don’t get it when I’m supposed to be “overpowered” and I get two-shotted by a Horde player… it’s kind of a kick in the nuts.

The server I play on is over 70% Horde. That’s right, 70%. That means 30% of the server belongs to the rest of us. Most of that 70% of horde are level 70 players, most of them in t5 or t6 pvp gear, and they have nothing better to do all day than hang out in low level quest areas and kill lower level players and camp out on their corpses so they can’t play their game.

Now I understand, people, that we decided consciously to make characters on a pvp server, and we knew what would happen, and we have to live with that. But it doesn’t stop me from making the assertion that not only are the Horde douchebags… but Blizzard is just making them bigger douchebags by giving them so much power. I know they favor them. But the fact remains is that most players that play this game play on the Alliance side. That means that the majority of us, PAYING customers, are getting fucked in the ass in-game.

Is it fair? Of course not. Should they be getting buffs because there are less of them? Not as long as we have to accept them camping low level players. If we have to deal with it, then nerf em to hell and let them deal with it. I don’t mean make them weak. I mean make it “balanced”. Take away racial benefits that are overpowered for PvP and give them something more pve oriented.

The problem with this game is, and it is evident through recent patches, is that the entire game is now PvP and arena-oriented. Not everyone likes Arena, and battlegrounds aren’t for everyone. I love to pvp but I hate Arenas because I am always the first to die before I even get to do anything. The entire force of the other team decides that I need to die first. Am I that dangerous? Not with all the nerfs to fear. Fear only works about 25% of the time now, and always breaks early. Warriors get immunity. Undead get immunity. What do I get immunity to? Oh, right… nothing. I have to rely on SKILL, not gear or racial traits to survive. And when I do, I hope it bruises their egos terribly. And I DO win from time to time.

Blizzard, if you’re gonna bitch about balance, then balance the fucking game. Stop nerfing players and taking away their abilities. Just give buffs to those that need them and stop screwing around with our survivability, especially when it affects our pve game.

I’m also pissed off that the newest patch literally broke the addons I rely on the most to help me level. I’ve lost most of my desire to do any quests now, or do much of anything. What’s worse is that the most important addon in my arsenal, QuestHelper, is no longer in development, so it will never be fixed…

Yeah yeah, I can QQ (it means “cry”) all I want, but nothing is going to change. They will continue to fuck over the Alliance until one day I decide to say fuck this game and move on to something else. I guess when that happens I’ll eBay my account for some decent cash. Who wouldn’t want a couple of nicely geared level 70 characters? (soon…)

So fuck it. I’m going back to the old school. Nintendo.
