Comments on: How to Survive Being Nerfed: A Guide http://www.drainingsouls.net/2009/04/22/how-to-survive-being-nerfed-a-guide/ A World of Warcraft (and MMO) blog Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:06:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Adrenis http://www.drainingsouls.net/2009/04/22/how-to-survive-being-nerfed-a-guide/comment-page-1/#comment-1933 Adrenis Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:44:25 +0000 http://www.drainingsouls.net/?p=609#comment-1933 In the context of WoW, if things have come to the point where you are comparing your relationship with Blizz to that of an abusive relationship, then it's time to quit the game. This is a game, nothing more, and it should be fun. If it's bringing you down like that, then it's time to try some new hobbies. My relationship with Blizz is nothing like that. Sure, they do things to the game that I don't agree with, but they also do a lot of things that I like. Learning to adapt to changes is part of playing an MMO.

How long do you stay in an abusive relationship "because it used to be good" or "maybe (s)he will change" or "it will get better"? Soldiering through life's adversities - recession, disease, aging, death, jobs, schools, relationships - is very good advice. But this is a game, and you have to buy the service. What if you told your friends that you spent $15 at a restaurant again this month but they keep changing the menu and the food is never as good but you intend to spend the same next month. Your California friends would want to discuss your self-esteem. Your southern friends would tell you to grow a pair. You provide very good advice; except there will come a time for each of us, when that is no longer the best advice. But where does the stop the QQ end and low self-esteem begin?
