This post is a bunch of questions that I have wanted to know other's answers and opinions on for some time. I posted them all in one thread to keep it somewhat organized and to prevent you guys (Elitist Jerks) from thinking I am trying to spam your forums.

Here is what I would like to know (in no paticular order)...

1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?

Questions about the player.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?

6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?

8) How many epics do you have?

In order to not seem like some sort of stalker or something here are my answers to the the questions I have asked...

3) 19

4) Freshman at Michigan

5) Probably 3 hours a day that my guild doesn't raid, and 6+ raiding nights.

6) I have one level 60 warrior on a pvp server.

7) I have a level 41 shaman and a level 11 priest (bank character).

8) I have around 20 to 25 epics.

Now I want to hear your opinion, please respond, and thanks for your time.

 

Brilliance

While I am not in EJ, I am going to post in this thread anyway.

1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?
Both. Prevents lowbie greifing, but kills city raiding.

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?
Warriors Tank. If you pick the ring... please reroll.

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?
I love playing my mage. So much. If I had a chance to reroll... Give me a warrior with the gear I would like (MC/BWL mix) and I would be happy.

Questions about the player.

3) How old are you?
19

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?
Work 8-4:30, Raid 6-12, Online Schooling Inbetween

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?
Too many.

6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?
2, My Mage (My Main), and my Druid (My old main, another server)

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?
No.

8) How many epics do you have?
Every equip slot is purple.

I think I saw this same set of questions in my email spam folder, only whoever sent it asked about my favorite TV show and mentioned something about forwarding it to 10 other people.

I'm not in EJ, but I'll give you my opinion anyway. :P

1) DKs, although a good concept, were implemented the wrong way in my opinion. Blizzard wanted to stray away from level 60s griefing lower level players trying to quest and such but they made DKs to easy to attain and way too costly. The way it is now, they have completely discouraged faction city raiding and world pvp as a whole. People that pvp usually like to keep decent ranks even if they're not en route to GM to at least maintain access to combat pots.

That being said, DKs are far from the lone cause for the lack of world pvp, they just discourage the occasional raids that people would form up to have some fun while killing some time.

2) I'm no expert on warrior itemization, so I'll leave this for someone else.

3) I love my rogue, although if I had a chance to change the class I rolled on day one, it would probably be a priest or a warrior. I've played almost every class in a raid setting and those 2 seem to put you on the edge at most times, although it kinda sucks that you can't take a quick leave without making the whole raid wait for you or aggrivating some people in a lot of cases.

--------------------------------------

3) 20
4) In college, currently on a coop term.
5) Used to be a upwards of 40-50 hours, its cut down to about 20-30 lately since I'm usually only on for raids and I can only take so much of levelling an alt at a time.
6/7) Two 60s, a warrior and a rogue. I also have two mid level (29-30) priests, one of which I play as a twink and the other I plan on getting to 60.
8) A lot on my rogue, pretty much full MC/BWL/AQ gear and a few MC/ZG epics on my warrior.

dks: ruined city raids, serve no good >:[

Warrior loot: take the neck

Reroll: i miss my druid

Age: I'm 20

living: I work fueling airplanes

Time played: depends on the week, 10 - 40 hours weekly

60's: 60 fagadin, 60 druid (had), 60 priest, 60 rogue

alts: nothing serious, play my rogue/priest fairly balanced

epics: enough to keep my dick big

I took this list of questions from my server's forums on the Official World of Warcraft site, I was just curious about the information, sorry if I offended you.

Not EJ, but willing to respond.
=====================
1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?
My opinion on DK's is pretty negative. It was implemented very poorly, in that A. civilians, for a long time, would respond to the calls of non-civilians and attack opposing players, and B. the actions of your raid-mates give you your own negative standing, which you cannot control. Not to mention the fact that it has, more or less, completely killed town raids and world PvP.

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?

Depends what they already have for a necklace and rings.

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?
I like the class I currently play.
Questions about the player.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)
21
4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?
Senior in College
5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?
About 25 hours a week, all told
6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?
One 60, Rogue
7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?
I have a 26 Mage alt that I've started to play more seriously
8) How many epics do you have?
20 epics, 21 if you count my old Gloves of Holy Might.

Oooh, can I play? :laugh:


1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?
Bad. Very bad. As reflected above, it really put a huge damper on town raiding and there are other, better solutions to the lowbie/town ganking problem(s) than this.

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?
No comment. Others are probably better qualified.

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?
Playing a Warrior is a blast in PvE. I love tanking. Also, running around in PvP with a Paladin entourage is a fucking blast.

If I were given the choice of playing another class, I'd probably pick a Mage (which would be the 4th) or a Warlock. Kiting is just too fun.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)
24

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?
Analyst.

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?
Um... 30+ hours?

6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?
60 Undead Mage, 60 Troll Mage, 60 Tauren Shaman, 60 Gnome Warrior

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?
Not anymore.

8) How many epics do you have?
About a dozen or so.

 

• Wodin

1) Good idea, poorly implemented. DKs should have been for very important NPCs they didn't want players killing, and the majority of quest mobs should have simply been invulned or put on fast repspawns. As it stands, it's impossible to PvP inside a major city without giving up on the honor system entirely. Gotta kill the guards, and with the guards come DKs for all.

2) My personal opinion is the Ring due the availability of Ossirian's tank neck, but it's a tough choice. That ring is amazing, though.

3) I enjoy rogue very much. I'm intensely competetive and focus on min-maxing damage output entirely too much, so it fits well with my personality. I'm not sure I could get the same experience with a different class. So no, I wouldn't reroll.

-----

3) 24

4) Security Engineer.

5) Probably too much. I haven't toted it up in quite a while, but 3-4hrs a night minimum. Be a bachelor in a town where baseball tickets are too expensive, your friends are currently on jobs in other states, and the bar scene is horrible and you turn into me. Run in fear.

6) 2 60s - 1 rogue who is fairly well geared, and 1 mage who I got to rank 11 with mostly blues and ZG epics, with a nice little infusion from a Mageblade/Trance Stone at rank 10.

7) Serious alts? No, not while AQ is unbeaten. I've also taken to playing other games instead of alts so that WoW holds more savor when I do play, and I don't get frustrated. Doesn't always work, but usually it does. Plus I've gotten to play DQVIII, Tales of Legendia, half of Grandia III, and Suikoden V.

8) 49 + an accurascope.

 

Brell

I see my words are misunderstood by some, I was looking for anyone to reply to this thread. By saying Elitist Jerks, I was stating that I did not want them to be annoyed by my post.

The few items that I am caught up in are:

Nefarion Neck
Nefarion Ring
AQ20 Neck
Bronze Dragonflight Tank Ring

 

Rachel

1) Never really given it much thought. I don't have much interest in PvP.

2) I'm leaning towards ring, because there are probably more options for the neck. I probably end up DPSing things more than I tank, but I took the neck, personally.

3) I absolutely love playing a warrior. There's no role I enjoy more than tanking.

----

3) 20

4) Well, nothing at the moment.

5) Way too much. (See last answer)

6) As of a few days ago, I have three 60's. Warrior, mage, and priest, in that order.

7) Well, the serious ones are the ones that hit 60 (mage and priest). There were a couple other classes I enjoyed at low levels, but I don't see myself putting anymore time into them anytime soon, if ever.

8) I think thirty-seven, not counting stuff I've disenchanted, but including the eight piece Might that sits in my bank. My mage has about nine, and my priest has two crafted ones (and a Benediction if I stop failing the quest).

 

Graham

OK, I'll bite.

1) Exactly the same as Wodins.
2) Run Ossirian till you get that one.
3) Not change, period.
3) 31
4) IT Security Architect
5) 15-20 hours
6) 1, Druid
7) Not really
8) I am having about 32 or 33 Purpz

 

◊ Praetorian

1) Agree with Wodin. Good idea, bad implementation. Yes, you want to disincentivize griefing, but I really miss stuff like hitting up Darnassus and killing the faction leader there, and hanging around until an organized Alliance group came to dislodge us, and having some excellent PvP. Back when there were no Battlegrounds and minimal raid content, raiding Alliance cities was a nightly activity, and it was fun.
2) Ring if Fury, Neck otherwise.
3a) Yes. I have no alts. I would've preferred to be a paladin, and I probably would opt for that route given the choice, but being Horde trumped being a paladin when it came time to decide.
3b) 26
4) Lawyer
5) Too much (30 hours probably?)
6) One 60, no alts, no desire to make an alt.
7) See above.
8) The real question should be "how many legendaries do you have?"

 

ex-sheepy

1) Never really applied to me, I was around level 55 when town raiding was in its prime. I don't have any DK's either, probably because I don't PvP much.

2) I don't pay much attention to this. Leaning towards ring though.

3) Playing a hunter is the most fun I have ever had in any game ever. People can complain about little things, but all in all, I find I have the most fun with this class than any other I've tried. Plus I love seeing huge yellow numbers on my screen ^_^

----

3) 18 years old
AT FRAT FRAF RATFARATAFT)

5) Eh, about 1-2 hours a day, except on raiding nights. School is kicking my ass right now. It can go up to 7-8 during the summer :x

6) Hunter

7) Eh, I have a 55 alliance mage on MG, however since I have to have two accounts, I don't play much anymore

8) 24, and my JP is hurting because of it

 

◊ Kaubel

Who said anything about being offended? I'm just old and don't play well with others, that's all.

 

subscience

Damn, dude- That's twice in two days. You're making my brain hurt.

Edit- Running into that word mid-sentence is like running into a verbal brick wall. <_<

 

◊ Crying Llama

So bored!

1. I don't really PvP much and as such don't really care about it. It does suck that no one wants to go on city raids anymore though.

2. Take the Nef ring, get the Ossirian necklace.

3a. Rogues are too fun to do anything else. I've tried!

3b. 22

4. Right now I'm a professional slacker who (hopefully) should be going back to college in 2007.

5. Basically just raids and a few hours collecting potions, managing inventory and messing around with my alts. It ends up eating a lot of time. And the occasional dragon spawn if my cell phone actually wakes me up.

6. 60 Rogue, 60 Shaman.

7. I play my shaman every once and a while, but for the most part I've sidelined him. Besides I still need to beat oblivion.

8. Our database says 36 epics, whatever that means. Plus some free stuff I've forgotten about.

 

• Bad Luck

1) I desprately miss town raiding. They should have just made the important NPCs invuln or super-powerful or something. DK's are a drag.

2) The ring is very nice. :)

3) I don't know. Druid was the first thing I rolled when I first started playing during the second stress test and I stuck with it. I tend to freak out about my role and respec constantly, and that might have been aleviated some just playing a pure class like a Priest, Rogue or Warrior. But Druid is the only one I can seem to stick with.

Questions about the player.

3) 21

4) Go to UMass Boston full time as a Classical Studies major :kaubel:, work at a restaurant part time (25+ hours).

5) Too much, at least 10 hours.

6) Never gotten an alt past 35 even. I get bored of them and always go back to my Druid.

7) I thought my Warlock would have been the one that I would get to 60, but then lost interest/tried to quit, etc. There is just too much still to do on my Druid (Librams of Protection.... :()

8) Lots, I'm a Druid. Probably ~40.

 

◊ Kalman

1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?

Don't really care. BGs are fun for me, town raiding never was. Sorry, just not my style - if I want zerg, I'll do AV.

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?

Not qualified to offer comment.

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?

I love my class. The only reroll I'd like is to have been human rather than gnome. I have a couple alts, none of which I can take seriously because none of them are as much fun as my rogue, although the lowbie warrior I'm twinking up through the levels is kinda fun.

That said, I don't think I'd ever switch my main unless Blizzard completely changes the focus of my class.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)

24.

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?

Signal processing and control systems engineering. Buncha math, basically.

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?

Probably 25-45 hours, depending.

6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?

1. Rogue.

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?

40 mage who hasn't leveled in a month, some lowbies.

8) How many epics do you have?

19.

 

• Lurchington

As the only non-60 I see on these boards, I'll answer some that apply for my level.
First, had the game since November, have probably 7 days played over that period since I try to restrict playtime to when I can play with my girl (Orc Shaman).

Here is what I would like to know (in no paticular order)...

1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?
I actually thought the whole point of DKs were to discourage city raiding. With the servers such as they are, I assumed they didn't even want to deal with 140 players in a visible area at the same time. As a lowbie, I'm not sure the DK system has kept me from being ganked ever

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?
Maybe Druid, as it's a class that appeals to inherent alt-itis, while at the same time acting as a competent healer, which I've decided I like being. I also think I'd enjoy warlock since it seems fairly complicated on a non-raid (spam shadowbolt) level

Questions about the player.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)
23

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?
Computer Engineer with the Government

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?
In the past month I'd say it's around 12 to 18, before that: probably less

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?
I had a hunter alt I was planning on powerleveling to farm for me later, but then my friends rolled alliance on a different server and I don't have much non-main time much anymore anyway.

8) How many epics do you have?
None since they're all overpriced at this point, but I've always been very well-geared working my way up, since my girlfriend and I do like running instances, and I enjoy researching gear choices / number crunching.

 

Raylen

1) Worst idea for PVP in any MMO. If anything, Blizzard should take a look at DAOC's frontier system and build something similar from that. It's not a part of the world cluster so it is instanced in a sense but it allows for an infinite amount of people.
2) I let people that actually care about numbers worry about that shit.
3) I like the class but with the current queue situation, I don't have the time or willpower to PVP.
4) 21
5) Was in school. On the DEP list for June which I just found out about today. Heading into Computer Architecture when I get out of AF basic.
6) Ballparking 15-20 hours. Used to be close to 40.
7) Priest
8) Not anymore
9) 29

 

Gankin

1) It depends on your faction. Most of the Mal'Ganis Alliance are afraid of PvP, so it discourages Horde from ruining their time at the Ironforge mailbox. (Raiding) Horde are bored to tears in the off hours but are afraid of losing the ever-important combat pot, so it forces the boredom on them. So I'd say its a good thing for the Alliance, horrible thing for the Horde. That changes from server to server, depending on who the dominant PvP side is. If it somehow became balanced, it would be bad for everybody.

2) I have 2 epic DPS rings and an epic tank neck, so I really wouldn't put much thought into it. I tend to go by the rule of buying 1 DPS item for every tank item I buy. It depends on my ratio.

3) I really like my Warrior, but I have been having fun with a fagadin whenever Mal'Ganis is down. It may just be because it's a new class. I have access to a priest, mage, and hunter and I think I can safely say that I wouldn't want to play any of them full time.

2nd 3) 21

4) I'm a computer networking administrator

5) 25-30 hours a week I guess

6) I have leveled just a Warrior to 60. I play a priest/mage/hunter pretty frequently, but I didn't do the majority of the leveling on any of them.

7) No serious alts, just downtime alts on other servers.

8) Counting resist gear, dps gear, tanking stuff and my bag o' trinkets? 38-40.

 

• Tehax

1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?

Bad, if you don't want a quest NPC to be killable, just make it unkillable, not an annoying guard-spamming blob of negative honor. Non-battleground PvP is far too scarce in WoW, DKs doesn't help this at all.


2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?

Ring, the ossirian neck is almost as good for tanking, there is no comparable ring for dps that you can get in 20-mans though.


3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?

Warriors sucked around launch and were pretty gimped, I am happy with it now though.




Questions about the player.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)

23


4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?

Veterinary Technician for money, horribly-indecisive-about-my-career-path professional student so far as school goes


5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?

It ranges from like 5 hours a week to maybe 30 or 40, depending on how burned out and bitter I am feeling about the game.


6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?

Two, warrior and mage


7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?

Not really


8) How many epics do you have?

I think about 40 that cost points, and more from 20-mans and battlegrounds and whatnot, probably around 50 or so total. I also have a pony~

1) DKs are asphalt on the road to WoW hell. Okay, maybe not hell. More like purgatory. Which, now that I think about it, is actually the perfect term for my feelings about the endgame (especially PvP) right now.

2) Pass.

3) The only other classes I've enjoyed playing as much as a druid are warlock and (now that I've rerolled Horde on a different server) shaman. I'm pretty sure I will always have a druid main, though.

3) 27

4) Consulting geologist

5) 20+ hrs/week when I was in a raiding guild, now more like 10

6) One 60, a night elf druid

7) Most serious alt was a 43 gnome warlock, now leveling an orc shaman and tauren druid on a different server. I've leveled every class except rogue and hunter to at least 20.

8) About a dozen
