Go. Fuck. Yourselves.

Oh yeah, I said it.

You guys and your stupid World of Warcraft game can just go sit on it because seriously? You suck.  I'm sure you started out intending to do good things with your little game.  I'm sure in the beginning it was "let's create a fun alternate reality game where people are wizards and stuff!"  But now it has turned to "these dorks want to have lives?!? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Yeah. Um, No.  We! Want! Our! Mon-ay!"

Every day I watch my fiance resign himself to having to sit on your game for hours.  Why?  Because you require players to keep playing.  Even though we pay a monthly subscription fee to you bastards, you require a certain amount of hours to be logged by the server otherwise he can lose points, rank or be subjected to any number of bad things that are feared by people of the WoW verse.  I watch as he schedules his entire life around your game because he needs to accomplish certain things to keep his current score/rank/whatever and those certain things only happen at certain times of the day.  I watch as every few nights he is kept up until 3 or 4 in the morning because he needs to do a certain number of…things (raids? instances? arenas? whatever) otherwise he'll lose the things he's worked so hard to accomplish.

My fiance? Now calls playing your game "going to work."  It is something that he "has" to do instead of something that he "wants" or "gets" to do.  He's worked very hard at getting to where he has gotten and, again, even though we pay a monthly subscription to you farkers, he has to log hours or everything he's worked for will slide away.

Will insists that it is possible to play the game casually and that there are people who can log on for a little bit and log off.  I do not see how this is possible because your game is set up to exclude the people who only play it casually and enslave the people whose love for gaming makes them keep playing because they want to finish the damn thing already.  I have to wonder how many people just like Will feel trapped by you.

Video games are supposed to be fun.  They are supposed to make people laugh and help them relieve stress.  They are not supposed to encourage you to feel like your world will fall apart if you don't keep playing.  You've stolen the fun and turned playing into "but I have to or [insert something bad]!" and the worst part of it is that you charge your players money to feel like that!

Go to hell you greedy bastards.

This message has been brought to you by someone who only got three and a half hours of sleep because someone she loved felt forced to play your effing "game" for half the night because of some "this will only happen for the next three days and I can't play it later because I have school and homework!"
