To not insult the bellow normal it is called LFR; not easy mode. And Blizzard does not appreciate calling it Looking For Retards (we call it this way on vchat: "anyone up for 'retards'?") as can be noted by blue posts.<br /><br />This change will allow guilds to progress when stuck, and PuGs to easier clear content. It also lowers gap between the 3 difficulties.<br /><br />@ Gevlon, congrats on your kill. What raid composition did you use (how many healers, tanks) and which order did you try and which order did you stick with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-25331433510964584202012-01-25T01:23:43.476+01:002012-01-25T01:23:43.476+01:00Reminds me when playing AV in wow as both horde an...Reminds me when playing AV in wow as both horde and alliance. I would play alliance and there would be so many idiots and the chat channels full of people complaining about their team. <br /><br />Swapped over to horde, and guess what? chat is full of people complaining about their team. <br /><br />I don't think that the whole horde heavy vs alliance heavy servers make any difference per se (the BG's are evenly matched) but by law of averages, I expect that out of the pool of available players, you will get "better people" playing depending on the server balance. <br /><br />WoT doesn't have this. you toss all the different tanks and people into a bucket and see what happens.Bumpynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-83167735023766965612012-01-24T16:41:35.367+01:002012-01-24T16:41:35.367+01:00While the GW Panther move looks stupid, that map i...While the GW Panther move looks stupid, that map is about as bad as it gets for arty. Most arc of fire are cut by buildings unless you shoot along streets which mean your target can return fire in a direct way. That make many arty player got "TD mode" on this amp since it's just as effective. It's like a "lesser evil" thing in that case for me.Frostysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-6820646409535908792012-01-24T16:12:30.545+01:002012-01-24T16:12:30.545+01:00You are in a fail team because you chose to.
Goin...You are in a fail team because you chose to.<br /><br />Going LFR/LFG is deliberatly looking to be with idiots, so if anything YOU are to blame. You have all the options available to avoid idiots (the tool is called a guild) - if you don't use it - your fault.<br /><br />You don't pick 10 random people from the streets for your next work project, constructing some sophistaced new machine (or whatever exactly you do on your job), do you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-23555725979452795072012-01-24T15:48:58.279+01:002012-01-24T15:48:58.279+01:00This is a known assertion from the Tol Barad oppos...This is a known assertion from the Tol Barad opposite faction shouts. The key to win in TB was not to stack your side with winners, but to overly stack the opposing team with more losers than you have. Your findings from that experiment were: In random grouping, the metric for who will win is not who has better players, it is only who has fewer idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-4057173591445987502012-01-24T12:43:22.118+01:002012-01-24T12:43:22.118+01:00Well, Himmelsdorf (as far as I remember) is so inc...Well, Himmelsdorf (as far as I remember) is so incredibly bad for SPGs, that anyone getting that map with said vehicle might as well stand up and go afk or climb that ramp alone to have chance to hit something from atop :)Péter Zoltánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703829981771783158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-5627245910759934262012-01-24T11:28:23.952+01:002012-01-24T11:28:23.952+01:00"LFR will not be nerfed.

We ca...This... is not a remotely correct argument.<br /><br />We can imagine being placed in a LFR group with the 15 worst players in the world; every other LFR group has a higher chance of success than ours, by definition. Ergo, other groups are not necessarily failing at the same rate as ours. In fact, since we have the 15 worst, we can be said to have improved the odds all of the other LFR groups.<br /><br />You are assuming there is an equal distribution of fail players. Evidence suggests this is not the case.Azurielhttp://inanage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-24550290040718271002012-01-24T07:58:39.977+01:002012-01-24T07:58:39.977+01:00The hardest part is identifying idiots/bots like t...The hardest part is identifying idiots/bots like this and getting your team to not waste their time on them.<br /><br />Quite commonly in WoW I can tell bots or morons on the other side. But no matter how much you try to tell your teammates to let them alone and kill the people they need to (ie skilled players who are capable of winning the game regardless of their retarded teammates) they will still waste time and chase them down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-80216839155920418232012-01-24T07:33:33.294+01:002012-01-24T07:33:33.294+01:00A very correct observation.

But in the case of WoT, there's one other factor that multiplies the problem: The good platoon and the lemmings effect it triggers. You've proven in a previous post that just 2 good players in a platoon can significantly tip the balance. Add to that the fact that a lot of idiots prefer following somebody they perceieve as "good" in lemming fashion, the team with the good platoon can now easily steamroll the other team. Statistically the idiot level was 13 vs 15, not much of a difference - resultwise, that game will probably end up 15:2 win for the side with the platoon.<br /><br />But yes, hunting for idiots on the other team is a good winning strategy :)madscorpionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17979734266755531086noreply@blogger.com
