Because Angry Rants Make Me Feel All Warm and Fuzzy Inside
Destructive Reach —
... Well, on the total flip side of myself, we have Larisa. Now, from what I know of Larisa (and I have been reading her for a long while now), she isn’t usually the sort to rant. I guess that’s what hooked me in straight away. She basically took aim and blasted people like me front and centre! It appears that Larisa really likes the new system, and gets very frustrated at people complaining that WoW is too ‘easy mode’ nowadays. She also raised some excellent points. ...
Wipe/gear quota
Tobold's MMORPG Blog —
Larisa has an interesting observation about people who say that World of Warcraft is too easy: Only 0.13% of them actually beat the hardest content in the game. The other 99.87% are complaining that WoW is too easy, without having been able to beat it themselves. A good part of those 99.87% who didn't actually beat the game did however beat all or nearly all of it in normal mode, and gave up at that point. Larisa says they didn't continue because the "wipe/gear quota" of hard mode wasn't favorable enough. I think that is an interesting statement, with a lot of player ...
Easy like Sunday Morning.

... Is WoW too easy? Larissa, and Kyr have their thoughts, I’m sure everyone has their own opinion. Well Clint Eastwood once said, “Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.”
Well time to show you my asshole.
Difficulty is a subjective thing. What is easy for me, may not be easy for you. You being a rocket science may think doing fractal math is easy peazy, where as my talents lie…elsewhere. Can you chug a fifth of whiskey without taken a breath, or eat 3 football sized burritos in under 10 minutes, for me that’s ...
On Difficulty and Guilds
Blessing of Kings —
Larisa wrote an interesting post on difficulty in WoW entitled Why I Don't Want to Hear Another "WoW is Too Easy" Statement. Her response sums up a lot of my feelings on this issue. ...
WoW is Too Hard - A Casual's Perspective
Blog of Corruption —
... by a guest blogger Mimetir. Memetir's main point was that the ease of content meant that players could easily jump in once reaching 80 and not really know what they're doing. Larissa (sorry, hon, I don't do accents) told people to stop whining. She doesn't think it's too easy. It was ...
Do We Even Want A Skill-Based Game?

... , I think, has as good a reply as any the other day, pointing out that only a fraction of one percent of the playerbase has completed all the available raids. ...
Social Study: The Wrath Effect Part 2
World of Matticus —
This is a guest post by Mimetir, an oversized owl of a raid leader on The Venture Co (EU). You can find her twitter feed.
We broke off looking at the Wrath Effect last time for a chance to let the ringing die from our ears and to gather our thoughts. Thank you to the many of you who shared your opinions – and latterly, posts – both here and over at Larisa’s and Tobold’s blogs last week – all very interesting reads. Last week we left off pondering whether ...
Counterpoint: Wrath Saved WoW Raiding
World of Matticus —
This is a guest post by Thespius, a raiding Priest and blogger of Healer By Nature.
With all of the talk going around that Wrath of the Lich King made things significantly easier and therefore "killed the game", I wanted to bring another perspective into the mix. I believe that Wrath SAVED WoW. Yes, that’s right, I said it. I’m happier playing WoW now that the game has changed.
I will whole-heartedly agree that the difficulty level has ...
