@@gamma00crucis It is kind of funny seeing him spamming every comment with anti-FF14 stuff, like he's hoping if he comments it enough it'll prove to be true, at this stage it's an obsession and it's just kinda sad...
It's sort of a subjective thing, but I legitimately enjoyed classic/vanilla far more than any of the expansions I played, and still play on a vanilla private server to this day. It really was as good as I remember, I just don't have the same time and energy to invest.
I feel the same way, but at the same time I think at least some of the common criticism is valid because I also feel like it could have been so much better if instead of selling a new expansion on the regular they worked on finishing and polishing the game they had. There was still so much left unfinished when they released TBC 15 years ago, and so much made obsolete or at least a lot less relevant, sweeping old problems under the rug, resetting the playing field to intice new players for short-term profit. The fact they made the same mistake again now says it all.
17:40 I agree that's true for most people, but I actually developed way more of my praise after I replayed it. Some people were lured into false hype, but other people (like myself) kept hearing other people ragging on it and thought that it wouldn't be as fun as it was. It depends on who you listen to, I guess.
@@tahmkench118 Yeah, I mean A Call to Arms is supposed to be representative to the whole WoW series, but that song really feels like it represents more to Paladins because it having that "glorious" feel to it.
been saying it for years. Everybody kept saying some up coming mmo would be the "WoW Killer" but I kept saying WoW would be the WoW killer. Just didn't think they would actually do it.
I also think the reason cat girls are attractive is because cats have a lithe grace about them. They are stealthy and efficient killers, but also intelligent, sassy and sweet. It's what they represent not that they are actually cats, at least for most people. The ears and tail help aid in expression. Humans have super expressive faces, so we don't need external stimuli like a heavy focus on body language that other animals use. But a cat girl? Or a partial human with cat like ears and tail? Super expressive. Even people who are one night stand types tend to enjoy seeing expression of happiness, shyness, excitement etc. Emotions are important and expressing them in more extreme ways would be nice for everyone. I can imagine a lot of autists as well who struggle with emotional expressions would love if people had ears and tail to aid with showing their mood. It's also raw, I would gather that and ears and tail on a dog/cat etc and absolutely on a human isn't something you'd control. Animal emotions are expressive when you know what to look for. Seeing that body language on a person as well as facial expressions I think would help a lot of people in a lot of ways, not just those with social struggles. Would also make lying difficult if you don't really control the expression of your ears/tail as animals tend to.
For the last part about Paladins, that's one of the things that's wrong with WoW these days. Back in the day, even during Legion, you could have some fantasy about your class and feel something for just being part of that. You'd be OK doing a bit less DPS, because you were a fucking Paladin or a Warlock or a Shaman. Now everything is so utterly devoid of character, the only thing you want to know is "which class and spec does highest dps" and you switch to that.
@@paulogaspar8295 Not really. Blizzard has been cultivating that culture, by introducing endless grinding systems, tying progression to gear and not skill, and most importantly allowing classes to go completely unbalanced for 2-3 patches at a time with dps specs like feral not being able to participate at all in mythic plus unless you are running it with friends (in BfA I do not know if they fixed it now).

Paladins were the most prominent knights and fighters of the alliance. They were the ones that made the difference in the war, alongside maybe a few exceptional mages. So why shouldn't it be expected that Paladins are some kind of elite, badass in battle and war? XD Blizzard needs to learn how to balance their shit.
not gonna lie i wish ffxiv had paladin sets like wow has, xiv really only uses blue white and yellow to represent honor and holiness whereas wow uses from what i know, yellow,black,red and more
You can dye every class set in the game. But you gotta grind your ass off for it. To get the materials to dye the level 50 class armor you are going to spend over 1 million gil.
