Be careful what you wish for…
You may get what you want, but not what you need!
I haven’t had much of a chance to read blogs in the last few days… I think I wont get much of a chance this side of January, but it doesn’t take much to see that there are two diametrically opposed views to the current Scourge Invasion event.
You love it… bring on the Zombies, Infect Me! Infect Me! (or alternatively, Kill them, Kill them all!)
You hate it… I just want to do a AH scan in peace, drop by the bank, do the same old, same old…
I sort of sit on the fence. I can definitely appreciate the frustration of those that want to play the WoW they know and love, yet I wonder why a few days out of ones life doing something that will never be repeated is an issue.
For years now I have read the WoW forums and people have abused Blizz for not having more World events. Blizz has explained that they are difficult to create, and even more difficult to manage. So they are few and far between.
Now we have a great event, it’s awesome. it reminds me of Shaun of the Dead. It’s horror at it’s most humorous. If you haven’t seen the movie, now is an excellent time to do yourself a favor. the last scenes in particular will bring a smile to your face as you run side by side with Zombies that were previously bosom buddies.
So there are two options.
- Log out for a few days… take a break, you have earnt it.
- Get in there with the same passion that you would tackle Brewfest, Midsummer Fire Festival or Hallows End. Do ti all, see it all, take screenshots or it never happened…
Because it wont happen again!
Edit: WowInsider brings the news that the Plague is nearly over
Gnomer and Out!
I think the big problem is that the WoW population is, well, big. The people that are now complaining are not the same people that have been screaming for world events.
I guess it all comes down, once more, to not being able to satisfy everyone.
P.s. I’m all for the world event! 😀
I think the reality is that 100% of the players will not be happy 100% of the time.
Am I unhappy that:
– I hardly get to participate in seasonal events – yes, they should last all year round.
– My blink is borked – yes, it should be fixed, 2 expansions ago.
– I can’t do dailies daily – yes, it hurts financially.
– I can never get a group for an Instance I want to run – yes, I wander aimlessly for hours.
Do I mind that others enjoy these things… no.
– Do I want World Events… yes.
– Do I want World Events to be endless screwing play for everyone forever, no… but as THDave mentioned in his last comment from his post yesterday, if you accept them, and participate, then they are a heap of fun, and something you can talk to your Grand-toons about experiencing.
BTW, I loved your post… really put it all in perspective. Folks, if you haven’t read it.. go have a read… then if you want to get into the Zombie experience… well too late… it’s gone.
