Window to WoW, week five

No one expected a perfect expansion. But what we have gotten is an expansion which totally disregarded - no, destroyed - years of work and dedication in the name of ‘leveling the playing field.’ Blizzard flattened out the bell curve with TBC, so now all the people that never hit 60 can have a chance to never hit 70, while the players who represented the core of WoW’s fan base, who committed to the end game, and worked to get into the top of that bell curve, well, they basically got to see exactly how useless that dedication was.

The gear we worked so hard for - the months spent learning, grinding, wiping, and waiting for drops - were rendered utterly useless. The time spent pre-expansion in the end game would have been better spent doing anything else.
