The proble...Yeah, that's probably about right. The problem isn't so much that people think that others should spend their free time the way they spend it. It's more that you have these shared spaces (MMOs) that cater to different people with different needs but there's a finite pool of resources (developers, etc.) to cater to them. Casuals pay the SAME $15 as the hardcore raiders, but in games where it appears the developers spend a disproportionate time catering to the minority who raid, the casual base can get upset. And vice versa I'm sure. <br /><br />However, heading out to the Internet to post your feelings on the matter is a very valid response. We may all have the right to vote with our wallet, but it's more effective if you let the developers have advance notice that there's discontent that MAY result in lost sales. So I'm quite fine with SOME of the casual vs hardcore debate. It's really just the playerbase giving the developers feedback on what they each individually want.<br /><br />That isn't to say that many people don't go way overboard on that type of thing. :)Larshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592787080006321384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-6641951018780287122009-07-09T12:01:43.191-07:002009-07-09T12:01:43.191-07:00That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it...That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-54743030226429510482009-07-09T11:48:28.858-07:002009-07-09T11:48:28.858-07:00I tried the whole raid thing during the Burning Cr...I tried the whole raid thing during the Burning Crusade. Some of that was fun, but a lot of times it was just work. I'm not going to denigrate people who enjoy that endgame. On the other hand, I don't have to reward developers for not catering to my tastes.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.com
