I really hope that Fargo and the other Devs are truly interested in making the world a lot more interactive for players. I know that Blizzard is quite adept at making unique hooks for their game ... that's why I've been around for the better part of six years now ... but even their more innovative hooks are starting to feel like rehash and the game seems more like an amusement park ride than ever before.

I also like that they're concerned with solo / casual players. I know a lot of the hard-core folks out there think that Blizzard's concessions to the casual players have hurt the game, allowing for "welfare" gear and all that ... but honestly, casual players pay the same amount as the hard-core folks to play the game. Blizzard doesn't make any more money for the time investment of its customers, so why on earth are they showing favoritism to one group over others ... why should someone be forced to join an arena team in order to get a PvP weapon, for instance? Or to raid in order to complete their valor point armor set (head & shoulders) ...

... in any case, and like I said earlier, I'm glad that Fargo and the other devs are looking at ways to make new content more interactive and inclusive. Hope they keep it up.

Gabrael-

While I don't disagree with most of your statement, it make sense for Blizzard to cater to as much of their playerbase as possible - hardcore raiders or casual players, I do wonder about a couple things.

Why do you need a big PVP weapon if you don't want to do serious PVP? You can get a PVP weapon from Arena or rated battlegruonds and it's really not a big deal if all you want is random unrated bg's. Also, what does a non raider do with full epics? Full dungeon gear with the valor pieces that are available are more than enough to be successful in heroic dungeons and are pretty overkill against solo content.

It just sounds like, "The other kids get more toys than me and I want them too without doing anything for it - even though I have no real need or use to have it."
