MMO players yearn for complication

World of Warcraft developer Blizzard wants to simplify its classes ahead of the giant Midnight expansion's launch on March 2, but some of the MMO's players have already made it clear, that's not going to work.

Associate game director Paul Kubit suggests to PC Gamer that many of World of Warcraft's class abilities – like Rogue mercenaries' Roll the Bones spell – were historically "very complicated" because Blizzard assumed they'd be paired with addons.

He continues, "The rest is really just based on listening to feedback, and nothing specific is planned at this time, other than – there's one really big thing coming, and that is on the 2nd of March, people start leveling to 90."
