i don't play WoW, i played the beta, and played a few months of it, and i couldn't stand it honeslty. It felt like the exact same previous 5 MMO's i played, but with different graphics and textures. I found nothing innovative, or new in this game.
but that being said, I love the Warcraft games. and it completly defy's everything Blizzard has put in the story's of Warcraft to let orcs use pally's, and let alliance use shamans!!
That would be like yoda letting a sith join the jedi, and the emperor letting a jedi join the sith.
or it would be like god letting a deamon in heaven, and satan letting an angel live in hell.
it just doesn't work. and changing 10+ years of story, because some people don't know how to play their classes correctly is absurd.
i'm sure the FFXI croud would be mad if suddenly a black mage could equip full armor, and a sword, and a warrior has all the nuke magic at his disposal.
Or in Eve, if they made it possible for a person who PVP's suddenly have the ability to mine in a fighter ship, like their piloting a hulk, and letting a hulk be able to have the best of all the weapons.
sorry, but most people here seemed to have only read the first response, then hit reply, without reading a few posts down, as to why this change made the OP mad. Instead of doing some actuall reading, this thread turned into a dry bale of hay, and a spark is about ready to burn the entire thing down, and a flame-fest the size of a bon-fire will erupt. all because people choose to keep bashing each other, instead of looking at the topic on hand.
Whatever, i'm not a mod. i just hate to see threads end up in the crapper, over a video game.
and to the OP. I agree with you, and glad that you are in eve. ( as am i. i'm the mining director for the OC-forums Corp in eve )
