6.1 might not come out soon
The PTR was updated again, for some strange reason. I was thinking Blizzard’s been secretly updating it for 6.1. Yet when I logged in, I found people RPing and shit.
When I went to ask where the hell is 6.1, it showed how toxic the community really was. The PTR hasn’t been changed since it popped up since the beta. Everyone’s still Level 90.
So… what the fucking hell is with the updates?! Plus, why is Beta still an option? I went to ask these questions to the Customer Support forum, since they handle launcher and account-related issues.
My answer was… fragmented. It wasn’t from Blizzard, it was one of their MVP’s.
First, the person said how “the license is still active”, and hasn’t been removed yet. Then they said “you can delete the beta folder, it will stop the updates”.
Basically, my first question never got answered, but the second did. Beta isn’t the problem here, but it does explain why it’s still an option.
I asked again in a bit of a shock the person didn’t get my first question answered(which is WHY is the PTR up, and why is it being updated if it’s not in 6.1), and I got another MVP, and their answer was quite technical.
Which I unfortunately do not understand. I think they’re saying *insert complicated words here*. So yeah. A reasonable explanation.
Over-reacted much? Yup
Second thing. I’ve mentioned before how I felt soloing was pointless, due to feeling how Garrisons were ruining the economy. Actually… they’re not. I got it only half right. See, I made a really, really lengthy thread in the afternoon, hoping like-minded people would see this and… feel sorry for me. :/
That didn’t go as planned, as it got completely ignored by the community. Bumping it didn’t help either. More ignoring. What pissed me off, is I spent a good hour preparing that thread, only to have it ignored. I mean, can you blame me?
Much later, I made another. Not so long. Again, it went to Page 2. At this time, I felt I haven’t just lost my confidence with Blizzard, but its community. Though fortunately, I finally got a response without bumping.
The person says the usual “it’s not fun if you feel it’s not”, then says how there’s another thread about this. It made me feel I’m not alone, and hopefully Blizzard knows about this and are working on a fix to make gold not pointless.
Got a few more replies, and the final one was basically on the lines of “Dude, chillax. The economy is fine! There’s still high-priced goods on the AH.”
Another one adds on, saying that selling them as vendor trash also isn’t going to give you much of a profit as I had thought. They also said, doing Apexis grinds gives you more money than selling Ore and Herbs. This proves gold is not pointless.
On top of this, as I’m typing this, Blizzard made a new hotfix that claims to control how much ore you get from nodes in your Tier 2 or Tier 3 Mine. Also, the Mining Carts now have Primal Spirits and Arch Fragments. So that’s awesome(especially having Arch Fragments. A good alternative for people that feel Arch is now pointless due to no flying).
See? Blizzard IS listening. They DO care about their customers. If they didn’t, they would had done nothing. They could had laughed in our faces. Gotta think about this the next time I get so pissed off at Blizzard.
And so… what’s my excuse now that I won’t solo dungeons? Because I can’t use “gold is pointless” against Blizzard anymore. It’s pointless to me, not the community. That’s not something Blizzard can help with. It’s a personal problem.
So now it’s mainly because, there’s nothing really out there for me. Got all I want. The other things require me to have a profession I’m not interested in(Engineering mainly).
Unwanted people
The last thing, was a mixture of emotions(odd, funny, and depression). I finally logged in on Live, and noticed two female Night Elves near my bed, and they were RPing. Of course my first reaction was “WTF?! Get out of my house!”
Going downstairs, I saw more Night Elves in similar clothing. A few of them were telling me to leave after I told them to. One said how they discovered this house since TBC, that this is their house. My heart is already aching over being utter depressed due to what has happened to me, and I so didn’t need this in my life.
But I decided to wait it out, thinking they’ll get bored and leave. The minutes turned to hours as they kept at it. It was about this “marriage” of this one Night Elf not wishing to marry this other guy due to inheritance and… wow. So all of these Night Elves were from Kargath, which is an RP server.
Somehow, my server, Alexstrasza, is merged with theirs. So now, technically, I’m on their server, and they’re on mine.
I decided to tag them like bees to honey, and follow their every move. But I needed someone who can stealth. I needed my Rogue. So I quickly got him on to have him sneak around, figuring where these other RPers ran off to as a few of them went out the door.
I went dragon and flew around, trying to locate the others. About a half an hour later passed, and they were preparing to do this “wedding” of theirs, and ran out to the old watermelon patch and the overhang to do the wedding.
I had my Rogue to go over and play a joke on them, waiting for the “if anyone has any objection” part, he would /yell “I OBJECT!!!” while going Worgen, and scaring the shit out of them! 😀
Unfortunately, I think they knew my Rogue was stealthed, and the one that was going to get married refused and ran off. So, that took the fun out of that.
So one thing lead to another, and finally they left the house and went through a portal to the Shrine on their server. Now they’re out of my hair, and my house is MINE again! 😀
I think what made them give up, is my extreme persistence of being there, to push them out of the house. Though I can’t say they won’t come back.
Though it also has me thinking, and causes me to be depressed once again. If I could only kick followers OFF the second floor of the Inn, I would be happy to call the Inn my temp home until they hopefully do something in 6.1.
Though, I CAN (try) to fix this by going after the Tier 3 Inn blueprint. Going by the external shots of Tier 2 and Tier 3, I see a major upgrade. Maybe I should re-think this.
