Jim McGregor	Posted - 2008.07.08 17:26:00 - [1] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 08/07/2008 17:26:46 MMORPG talks about Risk vs Reward as if it existed in WoW. Funny read. Linkage Maybe I should have posted this in OOP. Its kind of Eve related since we actually have real risk of losing stuff here, but I think OOP might be better. Move it? --- Its dead, Jim.

Larg Kellein Caldari Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2008.07.08 17:30:00 - [3] Hmmm, best part was the Eve ad playing on the page, really. Ironic ad placement was ironic, or words to that effect.

Bleeshtar	Posted - 2008.07.08 17:41:00 - [5] Call me oblivious if you wish, but I dident find it all that amusing.
Viqtoria Caldari Groping Hand Social Club	Posted - 2008.07.08 17:44:00 - [6] but there is no risk in wow, it's one huge accumulation fest.
Jei'son Bladesmith The Storm Knights The Cool Kids Club	Posted - 2008.07.08 17:46:00 - [7] My eyes glazed over when i got to the part about "....weighing up adding heroic badge reward loot that was better than tier four raid loot (A tier loot based on Karazhan, Gruul and Magtheridon raid instances). On one hand, there is an option for tier five raid quality loot without stepping into raid content..." wtf. just one more reason im so f'n glad I dont play WoW

Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2008.07.08 17:56:00 - [9] There is only one risk in WoW as far as I can tell, and that is the risk of accidentally grouping with a bunch of total ******s/idiots/jackasses when running a PuG. Other than that, there's no risk.

Sokratesz Rionnag Alba The Requiem	Posted - 2008.07.08 18:06:00 - [12] hahah, wow. silly kiddos I refuse to respect religious beliefs, and i refuse to respect people who hold them.
Hankster	Posted - 2008.07.08 18:17:00 - [13] It's more like..."Risk of Wasting Your Time versus Reward" Wait...it isn't a "Risk of Wasting Your Time"...it is a guarantee that you will be wasting your time... So, maybe it should be..."Guaranteed Wasting of your Time for Rewards"...

Pwett Minmatar QUANT Corp. QUANT Hegemony	Posted - 2008.07.08 18:20:00 - [15] What, I failed to see the part where you could lose everything you've earned in the past 3 months because you took a some over-priced WoWhatever into the wrong WoWaypoint. Where's the risk? _______________ Pwett CEO, Founder, & Executor <Q> QUANT Hegemony
Death4free Caldari Privateers	Posted - 2008.07.08 18:24:00 - [16] hey now at the risk of everyone calling me a noob i have re4cently started playing wow again and its not a bad game...now before everyone flames (well they will anyway but...) i still dont think its as good as eve for some things (like adrenaline rushes in pvp) however it does hit the nail on the head for pve which is hella more fun. Admittedly though the biggest hate point is that 90^ of wow players are under 12 which makes it as annoying as hell 2 play in a group. Eve information kiosk

Chinger Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.07.08 19:58:00 - [20] Edited by: Chinger on 08/07/2008 20:03:39 So uhhhhh.............what was it exactly that he ws risking? Edit: whats also intersting is that almost everyone on the website agrees that there is almost no risk in wow, even the wow players.
Xercies Ravere	Posted - 2008.07.08 20:01:00 - [21] This was neither funny nor interesting. And it had no risks involved. How did it go so wrong.
Kimiko Kith	Posted - 2008.07.08 20:15:00 - [22] Edited by: Kimiko Kith on 08/07/2008 20:16:25 Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Eve - where the mature players make fun of kids who have different tastes in games. Yeah, the air is thick with elitism. I enjoyed my time in WoW, and now I'm having fun here. Shrug What's the big effing deal? Though he likely should have used the word "effort" instead of risk.

A while ago I could have agree'd that this community was full of mature players. But really its not. WoW is a different genre with alot more carebears, but the community is starting to seem better than Eve's imo. (anyone play on scarshield legion or alalkir?)

I guess his idea of risk is wasting your time for no reward, not, you know, actually risking anything in game. Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari F'nog for Amarr Emperor.

Feilamya Minmatar Pelennor Swarm Souls of Vengeance	Posted - 2008.07.08 22:32:00 - [27] To understand a WoW player talking about risk, you must know that WoW is such a boring game that you always risk wasting your time for no reward. BTW I didn't know that "Risk vs. Reward" has an acronym that is 5 letters long. Can it be because EA/Mythic trademarked "RvR"?
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2008.07.08 22:45:00 - [28] ITT: Pointing out that there is no real risk in WoW is elitism. - DesuSigs
Remata Lakira Terran Coalition	Posted - 2008.07.08 23:42:00 - [29] Originally by: Crumplecorn ITT: Pointing out that there is no real risk in WoW is elitism. Yeah he's right! There's a lot of risk in WoW. Like, when you die? You have to ressurect! It takes like 10 whole seconds to get my ghost back to my body. Talk about agonizing andlaborious . Also, everything I'm wearing gets damaged by a bit, I have to get it repaired at the nearest town/city, which usually means I have to use my hearthstone to teleport back. Urgh, all that right clickin on my hearthston there's tons of risk, see? You're all a load of elitist EVE players! Don't think you're better than Crumplecorn jsut because you play a game that happens to actually cater to people over the age of six!

Urgh, all that right clickin on my hearthston You don't even take equipment damage if you die in PvP. Besides, you only have to repair once every 15 or so deaths anyway
