Ultimately, it doesn't matter what I think, or even long-time players - it matters what Blizzard thinks, and that's what made me a little shakey -- that there was finally some meaningful content and perhaps others would be so disgusted by the change and mediocrity they potentially saw, Blizzard would take it away again. I wish we had lot of things like this - I think scenarios are a hoot, and wish there were more things to do with one to three players at a time. <br /><br />I went to try to get the Claw again tonight, now almost two dozen times. Whether or not the Black Prince digs my shit may be moot here pretty soon! /sigh - dang you RNGs!<br /><br />I'm back to my spunky 'tude. I know this may sound silly but that little footnote story at the end makes me smile. This game is for everyone, and we will all get out of it what we choose. Great points in your comment, Malkshake -- thank you.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504775167541916213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-29280425157902448162013-03-01T19:37:49.578-08:002013-03-01T19:37:49.578-08:00This made me sad, because I can identify with all ...This made me sad, because I can identify with all of the feelings you're having over this. You see, I don't have a guild, not a real one anyway. I am still going through the mourning process for my old guild and friends who left the game and thinking about nostalgia and grief really brings back the pain of knowing they have moved on and are not coming back, which is where much of my sadness comes from, sorry if you thought it was your fault. To top it off I live with a self professed hardcore raider who makes me feel small sometimes. I know all about exclusion.<br /><br />I do not have a legendary, nor will I ever, I suppose. That's alright with me, my benediction is epic enough for me. I do think everyone should have the opportunity to pursue a legendary though.<br /><br />I love the idea of the questline being "for everyone". I love that raid finder lets me see content that I otherwise have no time for. I feel like these features do not take anything away from people who have the ability to get a guild group together and work on raid progression in normal or heroic setting and you can certainly still work on the questline together if you want to. Features like these were made to help players like me feel included and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.<br /><br />In short: I'm glad you like the questline, and best of luck on your legendary. I'm sorry that you felt excluded, I have been there too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814188314704252890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-91979596941218775022013-03-01T07:56:10.191-08:002013-03-01T07:56:10.191-08:00There are literally tears rolling down my face fro...There are literally tears rolling down my face from laughing!!

I probably needed Mr. Snerrgull (I never spell his name the same way twice: take that you red-penned sadist!) to give this post the once-over, because I don't want it to spin out. This was truly "all about me" and how I am incapable of handling my own thinking. Writing to the rescue!<br /><br />Now back to our regularly scheduled posting...Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504775167541916213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-16183143051002690042013-03-01T06:04:14.020-08:002013-03-01T06:04:14.020-08:00As I told you yesterday - twenty-two times.

Trying to get this without the support of a guild and a focus on "one" player hasn't meant that the RNGs are any more kind; in fact, as we both know, they are even more cruel. I could look at my achievement log and see when I finished getting the legendary gem from the Prince, but I know it's been weeks. There is sits in my bag, mocking me. That Prince is a brat, but that's what I get for making deals with devils.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504775167541916213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-46643479607802013682013-03-01T06:01:50.442-08:002013-03-01T06:01:50.442-08:00I promise it wasn't the covetting part of the ...I promise it wasn't the covetting part of the item, but perhaps of being allowed to have an experience. These are all great reflective questions, Navi, ones I didn't consider asking until I read others' opinions. Ultimately, it is what we make of it - that was the point all along. Blizzard listens and links great thinkers/writers like you Navimie - they listen to you. My response is out of fear that somehow Blizzard will negate the opinions like players like me who love this new way of thinking about the game. But as Tome said, what I don't envy is Blizzard's task of making everyone happy - because that is not possible. It is up to the individual player to seek his/her own happiness in game and without. I was just trying to be comfortable in my own skin. And have an excuse to re-watch Kid President. Who's awesome. :) You rock, Navi - I love your stories, your trials, tribulations, struggles, emotions, intelligence--you are a legend to me.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504775167541916213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-42834730948893395752013-03-01T04:22:46.168-08:002013-03-01T04:22:46.168-08:00You're a legend in my mind too!

I often feel that I went to the car dealership and bought the exact same car everyone else did for the same amount of money but MY car came without options.<br /><br />Take that, you stupid little anti-social daytime playing anarchist! No four wheel drive for you, lol!<br /><br />May the RNG gods smile on Matty and give her the legendary she deserves, she's my hero!<br /><br />Forgive any bizarre mistakes, I have an eye migraine so I can't actually see anything I wrote. So here's hoping it came out the way I thought it! I sure don't envy Blizzard trying to find a balance that suits us all but I guess that's the price of popularity.Tome of the Ancienthttp://tomeoftheancient.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-60642620414831777052013-03-01T03:07:02.910-08:002013-03-01T03:07:02.910-08:00The only thing I resent about the other discussion...The only thing I resent about the other discussion is the fact that some believe that since you can do this in LFR, a lot of players can go AFK while still achieving the same end goal.. while that's true for other players, I work hard at getting everything I have in the game so if I get one eventually, I feel that do I deserve it. I look forward to when that day happens - with you too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878753035017181139.post-2486787080197483582013-03-01T00:16:03.772-08:002013-03-01T00:16:03.772-08:00You know it was not my intention to wound. Nor am...You know it was not my intention to wound. Nor am I trying to demean or reduce your experience of the legendary quest chain - I am merely writing about the experience I had with my legendary and the other guild legendaries we have had.<br /><br />What you should ask yourself - is what constitutes a legendary? Is it the effort you put into an item? Is it an amazing storyline or reward? Or is it something you covet because everyone else has one? Is it an amazing experience? The quest chain to me has not engaged me, but it has engaged others - just like how I am endeared to Lunk but others go... who? So a legendary is really, what you make it to be.
