Bucket Guild | FUBU BH Forums

After a quick Google search I see that a ticket is $500 and includes a Blizzcon ticket ($175) so it's an additional $325 to go to the benefit dinner. It's a benefit dinner so I'm assuming Activision didn't profit from it at all, or very little, and most proceeds went to charity. I couldn't find any demographic information but I would be bet it was heavily slanted towards male. I couldn't think of any big games Activision makes/publishes that appeal to girls. WoW is the most appealing one I can think of so I went to their website and checked out their store main page and had a good laugh, it's plastered from header to footer with some of the most anti-girl appealing games I can think of. Also, [citation needed][citation needed][citation needed] on everything you said.

I don't know what's worse. A person (or did the guys who buy the tickets have different motivation than the girls?) who is willing to spend a $325 extra for an annual/one-time thing for a chance to mingle with significant personalities that are responsible for a hobby that they enjoy. Or Aestu, who thinks that the people responsible for WoW are retarded, the current game sucks, the direction of the game sucks, yet has invested what I'd imagine is probably hundreds of days played worth in to it and continues to play.

People have different beliefs, values, attitudes, financial backgrounds. For example, I find it crazy that you've probably spend that amount of cash on server transfers/name changes and still find it a waste of money along with whatever other arsenal of insults you have to go with it. Personally, I'd rather drop $325 on a nice dinner and some socializing with top Blizzard personalities, but that's fine if you don't. After reading your posts on-and-off for a couple years I wouldn't expect you to grasp this though, you seem to have very little empathy or open-mindedness about a situation you don't understand or agree with. Being in computer science I spend a bunch of time around other people in CS and engineers, lots of them hold that holier-than-thou attitude I get from your posts. I fucking hate it, I make an active effort to not be like that.

If someone can afford it, enjoy it, and it doesn't harm anyone then who cares? Why can't you just say "Kaldorei, I don't like you" and in some other place instead of ruining yet another one on here.

WRAIN'S REIGN

If Blizzard wants to donate to charity they can do it out of their own money. Thinking they're doing you a favor by letting you give them money is folly.



WoW has been reconceived with the intent to appeal to girl gamers. Hence emphasis on cutesy appearance, shallow content, lack of in-game confrontationalism and groupthink. This is also a major driving force in MoP.



SOMEONE SAID IT ON THE INTERNET SO IT MUST BE TRUE



I still play WoW because, like you said, I've invested my time in it. I'm committed. And I have no regrets.

I'm a personality. I don't need a company ID or blue text to stand out. My personality does it. These people aren't "personalities", they're cardboard cutouts inflated to larger-than-life size by corporate BS designed to separate fools from their money.

Kaldoreii doesn't "enjoy" WoW. She's a hanger-on. Like I said, if coprophagy was trendy, she'd join a club. What has made WoW popular is the people who actually enjoy the game itself. When they're gone, the hangers-on will move on to whatever the new thing is.

So then the new execs and dev team got this brilliant idea that the tail should wag the dog. Then people who enjoyed the game as it was left by the millions. That's what they're "responsible" for. One of the most dramatic commercial fiascos in history. You go, Blues!



There is a difference between paying for something you enjoy in its own right, for what it is, and paying to get lied to and used as a tool.



Sounds like you're insecure. Confidence follows ability.



It does, and I explained how and why.

Aestu of Bleeding Hollow...

Nihilism is a copout.

If I permaban Aestu from FUBU will you give me $1000 so you can hang out with me for 2 hours?

EDIT: $500 is fine too.

PS: If you're wanting to call out someone on not having any balls, I'm pretty sure Mikebro is the absolute worst person for that.
PPS: He has more confidence than you, because I manage he's gotten to get it up in front of another person.

Aestu: Almost everything you say is subjective or has no research/scientific backing that I've heard of before. It's possible it exists, most of my background is in hard sciences and not social sciences, so I'd be interested to see it if it actually exists. Otherwise most of what you say is pointless conjecture based on assumptions about individuals, companies, and hell throw in an entire gender too. Until you can provide scientific fact or at least research and fathom that the world doesn't work exactly how you think and you don't know exactly how everyone operates then discussing with you is pointless and all you're doing is ruining another thread.

And I disagree that confidence follows ability, it's more complex than that. See the Dunning–Kruger effect for example.

Wait I want to understand Aestu's reasoning here:

1) Blizzard is evil, they are killing the game, they don't care about their player base, they make dumb decisions, and so on

2) I continue to play the game they created despite all these things that piss me off. Why? "Because I'm committed."


WAT?

You are only committed in your mind man. You could drop the game right now and never play Aestu again and all would be well. Trust me, eventually the game will die and all those extra hours you played won't make any difference. Why not quit now?

ITT - I'm jelly as fuck of Aestu.

So.....why is aestu bitching about WoW, when in his sig it shows him still playing that shit game?

edit - Azelma asked first....meh

Fuck it, I'm with Aestu on this one.

DIE BLIZZARD!!!! FUYCK U RUINED THE GEAME!!!

brb queue popped.

Am I wrong in thinking the only valid reason for playing WoW left is the social aspect?

Tonight I slayed some fuckers in Oblivion's arena. It felt good, man. The only thing that would've made it better would be somebody commenting, "Way to shoot that high elf in the face. Too bad you had to backpedal to victory."

..Yes, I'm imagining somebody calling me out for backpedalling. I miss the human element of playing alongside 5-25 people.



tl;dr Games only seem to be fun to me when I can corroborate on action and gameplay with other people.

Been Boycotting Blizz since Wrath, Haven't bought SC2, not paying anymore for WoW, and ain't buying D3.

I urge others to do the same. They kill their own franchises.

Hey wait, kal is actually quite pretty.

As am I.

And she's kinda brown.

As am I.

I wonder if she's near MD.
