Uber 2.0 patch rant & protected lua (deep breath not for theFollow

I didnt read all of that mess, butI know they released info saying they would be limiting scripting prior to the patch.

Less QQ
More pewpew

Most addon's have been updated for 2.0, so all you have to do is redownload them. If you are angry because quasi-bot addon's are gone, then tough ******


Did you ever think that they were limiting those script features because people were not able to be trusted with them? Don't blame bliz, blame your fellow players.

If you can't play without mods I don't want you in my group/raid. A good player is one who can adapt to changes, good or bad. If you need an add on to have fun then you're playing the wrong game.

You're using these addons as a crutch and cry when Blizzard, who had nothing to do with creating these mods, changes their software. Oh and by the way, all the addons I had before the patch I have running right now after the patch, no problems. Your claim about them never being updated or if they are will be completely pointless is glibb.

At one point you complain that serious players are stiffed yet turn around and say the casual players are. Which is it? A serious player can play with or without mods. Oh and age has nothing to do with it.

QQ more

My 3 60's are a mage, a priest, and a paladin. Decursing is second nature to me, and I lost a lot of addons to this patch. I'm not QQing at all, b/c ultimately it works better now.

And next time you get on your pretentious soapbox, try to streamline it more. A lot of the text you posted was anecdotal meandering crap that added nothing to your post, just made it a massive wall of text. You could have presented from a more professional point of view; used less QQing terms.

Now, on to the fun.

So you care, I got that. However, in all that wall of text, you didn't think about why they do it. You perceive a result, but your perception is fairly myopic. For example:

Epic level is changing in scope in a month's time. Epic level will be 25, not 40 people. As such, the need for raid management and optimization changes in scope as well. Combined with other major changes that are taking place, such as the staking of HOTs, can you really say that you have such a solid grasp of the game design that you can automatically say "this is wrong, the game is in decline."

The loss of decursive was quite noticable last night in MC, where I actually had to pick and find the targets for my decursing efforts while I was up against Luci. So instead of mindlessly mashing my decursive macro until no more names were on the decurse list, I actually had to play. And I'm just using decursive as an example. All the lost addons were mindless, not making the game bearable. They were removing skill and thought. Now mana conservation is an issue again, much like when I first started BWL this time last year.

I'm really just quoting this so I can laugh you. Mean, I suppose, but it's just so funny that you get all indignant when you choose not to read something and then QQ about it.

ok stopped reading about 1/3 the way down for one simple reason.

Blizzard for the last few months (2 at least if not more) has been stating that the old commands and scripting WOULD NO LONGER work post 2.0 patch.

blizzard has also had a HUGE sticky in the add-on/mod forum on their site to COVER the NEW commands and scripts that would be allowed.

sorry you are pissy about losing some of your old mods, but botting is for whimps anyways and most of the mods that no loner work were for botting.

the FEW that were not used to bot, well there are work arounds for most of them and just requires a bit more attention from the PLAYER, so learn how to play your class is what blizzard is saying, to do their job.

i for one do miss a few of the old mods, but i can LIVE without them as can my team mates.

"laugh at you" i think were the words you were looking for, nice sentiment … i guess you must like laughing at people a fair bit, good for you :-). I guess your also the kind of person who scrutinises TOS agreements in detail, life is to short for such things. Having three 60's means your a heavily dedicated player (whats your onlie time total) with allot of investment in the game, you would probably swallow any changes thrown at you.

Do you really want to open that can of worms? You are scrutinizing someone for missing one preposition while you fail to capitalize "I" and misuse "your", just to name a few errors.



You were, as the kids say, "pwned". Suck it up and go away.

It is with extreme disgust that I write this letter and say what will truly be considered indecent by some of my peers. Nonetheless, it must be stated that Blizzard is so tied up in its personal dreams that it is oblivious to what is happening in the world around it. But first, let me pose you a question: Is Blizzard actually concerned about any of us, or does it just want to break our country's national and patriotic backbone and make it ripe for the slave's yoke of international teetotalism? After reading this letter, you'll obviously find it's the latter. After reading everything I could find on this subject, I was forced to conclude that there is one crucial fact that we must not overlook if we are to perceive our current situation as it is, rather than in the anamorphosis of some "ideology" such as Pyrrhonism or mercantalism. Specifically, Blizzard has -- not once, but several times -- been able to require schoolchildren to be taught that we should avoid personal responsibility without anyone stopping it. How long can that go on? As long as its dangerous witticisms are kept on life support. That's why we have to pull the plug on them and enable patriots to use their freedoms to save their freedoms.

Even when the facts don't fit, Blizzard sometimes tries to use them anyway. It still maintains, for instance, that 75 million years ago, a galactic tyrant named Xenu solved the overpopulation problem of his 76-planet federation by transporting the excess people to Earth, chaining them to volcanoes, and dropping H-bombs on them. If Blizzard had even a shred of intellectual integrity, it'd admit that many people are incredulous when I tell them that it intends to tell us how to live, what to say, what to think, what to know, and -- most importantly -- what not to know. "How could Blizzard be so dirty?", they ask me. "It doesn't seem possible." Well, it is indeed possible, and now I'll explain exactly how Blizzard plans to do it. But first, you need to realize that it has remarked that antiheroism is a be-all, end-all system that should be forcefully imposed upon us. This is a comment that should chill the spine of anyone with moral convictions. To make sure you understand, I'll spell it out for you. For starters, Blizzard is absolutely determined to believe that the Universe belongs to it by right, and it's not about to let facts or reason get in its way. You shouldn't let Blizzard intimidate you. You shouldn't let it push you around. We're the ones who are right, not Blizzard. There is good reason to believe that if we take Blizzard's arguments to their logical conclusion, we see that in a lustrum or two, Blizzard will carve out space in the mainstream for inaniloquent, pertinacious politics. A final note: Anger is contagious

You dont have to remove it. It will be rated down to sub default by the users of these forums and kinda take care of itself.

Yea,...what he said...

Ayup!
