I don't raid, and I don't see it that way. I guess my imagination is greater than those players you are speaking for.
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

You may view the patch in whichever light you wish, but to say that there is no new content in 2.2 is demonstrably wrong.

You don't have to be in a guild to access it. We have Group Finder. Just because you don't parake doesn't mean that the content isn't there.

I think the rational individual would say the 2.2 patch was Huttball uniforms plus assault cannons, plus the one they added some stuff for "other" players.

I supposed if a player were 100% self-focused, they may see the world the way you suggest. But it seems odd that an individual with such an over-developed sense of self-centeredness could survive long enough to participate in an MMO, or would even choose to do so.

The morale here, of course, is that it is foolish to deny the existence of things simply because you are disinterested in them. Each of us is disinterested in many things. Personally I have absolutely no interest in PvP in this game, but I could never with a straight face deny that it exists or, if any new PvP content ever actually comes around, say that the patch it came in contained nothing.

Again, not just me. I have 2 roommates and 4 other RL friends who play this game. I'm also in a guild. I can tell you with absolute certainty that 0% of the people I know who play this game have gotten a chance to try the nightmare modes introduced in 2.2.

Thanks for insulting me personally because we have differing views on videogames though! Perhaps you could take a "morale" from that?

It's about time the development team listened to the community and didn't just re-use content.

Now if they can only do that for future operations. (If you're going to put out nightmare modes, have all 3 modes ready to go when the operations releases)

Yah, he WAS proven wrong. Just accept it. His OP wasn't exaggerated or sarcastic (hint: go to dictionary.com if you don't comprehend what "sarcasm" is) and there was no end that his means would service. He was wrong. And now, so are you. I know it stings, but there you have it.

Good thing y'all don't represent the entire playerbase or that patch WOULD have been a waste of time. As it is, I know people who run NiM OPs. I'm not one of them, but I sure do know plenty who do. What do you have to say to them? That the content they enjoy is worthless just because you aren't playing it? Get over yourself.

The poster to whom I was replying didn't say there was nothing in the update for him. He said there was nothing in the update. Or you, I guess.

Do you see the difference?
