How does that matter? Mexico, by continental definition, is part of North America. :huh: That's a correct statement. As I said, if you want to bring Central America into it, it's more correct to call it Central America. But "Central America" is not a continent according to standard models.

TOR: alts and raiding, some unranked pvp, the occasional Hardmode Flashpoint (Wildstar's Veteran Dungeons) for commendations (end-game currency). But after 1.5 years, I've done all the stories (some twice) and the raids are stale with nothing new on the horizon so my sub there has lapsed. Recently picked up WoW so all the content is new. Some places are a bit grindier than I prefer, but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel unlike here: was that a light or an RNG induced hallucination? Wait, what's that? I-is that actually an upgrade? C-can we do this again?

There are a lot of epic purple drops being sold for 50g or 1p right now.

Who cares? If it does, it does...not a thing you nor I can do about it. I will mention however that my own policy is that if I purchase the game at full price, and it goes F2P I simply quit. I NEVER invest in a failure twice.

That article was an interesting read. I think a lot of what Mr. Kern has to say about the MMO leveling experience rings true. People tend to forget that MMORPGs are, at their core, role playing games.. Very few questers take the time to savor the lore and surroundings and actually immerse themselves in the "RP" aspect of the game. They just rush blindly to max level. On a similar but unrelated note, I was in a Vet Skullcano group the other night. We were on Mordechai Redmoon and a DPS left. We re-queued and got another one. Our new DPS (let's call him "Bob") had only recently hit 50 and had never been to Skullcano before. We pulled the boss and wiped very quickly because half the group, Bob included, died during the first beam phase. Bob said he died to the beam because he got stunned. I informed him that he needed to avoid the circles on the ground, and he replied, "Dungeons in this game are so broken." I asked him, "What's broken about it?" We died because we failed to mechanics. Nothing "broken" there. He went on to complain about the difficulty, his loss of interest in the game since reaching level 50, and stated that he'll be back once the game goes F2P and introduces LFR. It made me kind of sad, honestly. Is that really what gamers these days want? Easy games that don't punish for failure and award epics just for showing up? Why is content that requires one to have at least a couple of functioning brain cells considered "broken"? /rant  :(
