Re-read the OP. I see what you are saying about your issue with said mount. (Again, can someone please tell me what the requirement is for the guild to get the mount!?).

However, given that you say my pool analogy is essentially correct...I'm still wondering why you are bothering to waste the energy to complain about it?

Is it as Necra said and you're just warning other people "hey don't do a cannonball on that ridiculously huge turd in the deep end" or are you simply just raising a stink because you are Aestu?

I'm really just curious as to your motivations, because clearly it doesn't affect you at all, and as I've previously stated, I fail to see how it really damages an already fractured community.

Fatalism is a copout. It's also a dialetical fallacy in that it is based on circular reasoning.

Aestu, the ultimate irony here is that you are complaining about players "who mindlessly zerg ICC and farm heroics for hours, in dead silence, with total indifference, so they can say they're good based on their I AM A BAD PLAYER and shiny welfare epics."

While you are complaining about a mount you got through mindlessly zerging an outgeared instance so you could say you're good based on your shiny welfare mount collection.

Players who buy the Dark Phoenix will not have any grounds to pretend that it makes them special, it will simply be a visually pleasant mount model that they might choose to use. You, on the other hand, do pretend that your Ashes, which you farmed long after it was current content, makes you special. It does not, any more than someone farming a Thunderfury does.

You begrudging other players for getting a similar mount model is pathetic because you are not in the position to be judgmental about it. Your Ashes never gave you status, and by farming it long after the fact you are partaking in the very problem you complain about.


...........


Also, I don't know why my other post was deleted. The whole complaint is absurd because it rests on the premise of assigning meaning to what was more than likely a relatively arbitrary decision on the part of Blizzard developers.

The model they chose does not affect game play, so they probably did not spend any time deliberating on it (they have ongoing game play changes they are implementing which would take precedence for their time). Point being, it probably was not a meaningful decision to put that particular mount model in the game for this reward.

And as for the players, they did not make the decision to use that model. To disparage players for a choice they did not make is even more absurd. What would you have them do, choose, en masse, to decline to participate out of a sense of respect for people who have the Ashes? That's pretty dumb.

Wow, had never seen this before. Had about 2 minutes of stifled laughter at the office and I've just been asked why I'm crying. Not sure how that got me so good.

See: OP, Gearscore. The issue is not anyone consciously thinking this, the issue is the interplay between which elements of the community are catered to and how the culture and the community itself changes. The community definitely affects the game experience; it IS the game experience.

Don't bring up farming MC, that's how Aestu first left BH after I told him off.

This one time, I endlessly farmed mounts...


Seriously fuck your logic. Hearing you complain time after time about the game gets really old. Quit, just quit. You hate the game, half the player base hates you and your opinions. Delete your imaginary character with the imaginary mounts that you farmed for entirely too many hours, that you are so sensitive about.

Go on that life mission you are always talking about, how you have a purpose. Go find the god damn purpose, it obviously isn't wow.

You bitch so much about this game, about little shit, like how engineer overalls won't go in an engineer bag? Srsly? 1 spot in a bag means that much to you?

Cataclysm they are changing things up, if they wanted your opinion they would ask you to be on the board that makes the decisions, but their billion dollar corporation has people in there that obviously know have of what they are doing or else they wouldn't have a successful MMO!

People pay shit tons of money for the MMO you hate so much. In essence what I am saying if it wasn't abundantly clear before, STFU or quit. Otherwise you just become one of those you ridicule for mindlessly farming in a game regardless of what it is; achievement points, mounts, gear, emblems, gold etc.

**** Edit******

Signed

players who think the Dark Phoenix is awesome and will ride it everywhere, enjoy the game and play for fun.

One more screaming nerdrage post at Aestu and I'm nuking the thread. If you're going to insult such a frequented target as Aestu, at least try to be original.

Also, if this mount is only obtainable via the We Are Legendary achievement, I'm coming back and selling the pheonix for 50k per guild, considering every other person on BH with an Atiesh has either quit or is an officer in a raiding guild.
