Big wins for casuals! Dual Spec - Cross server

Same here. My 2 accounts will be gone. I left Rift when it was implemented, I'll be out of here too.

No one is gonna do that with their money on the line. But you are free to try.

Oh? WoW broke all the standard and accepted conventions and look how that turned out.

Guild Wars 2 is another good example, they are throwing all the general mmo conventions out the window.

They have different skill levels and people used to complain that WoW had boring non innovative fights. They have to make nightmare modes more harder and challenging and for smaller guilds dual spec is a good thing cause they dont always have right classes/specs with fully geared waiting to jump in. Also i want to PvP and Pve on same character instead of making 2 chars of same class for it. Dual spec is one thing that almost everyone has wished on forums casual or not and im sure its same ingame. Like it or not, they are catering for the masses and thast why they are making the game more accessible to players with or without your support.

When Wow came out there wasnt any real competition, this genre was an niche and WoWs budget wasnt close to what these games cost nowdays, add high expectations, harder competition to that and youll see why big companies that are making cash for their stockowners wont be very innovative but instead copies WoW while trying to make an fortune. GW2 is something little different but it remains to be seen how it will turn out financially.

I play a lot and will be happy when these changes make it.

Wait, are you serious? WoW had more then it's fair share of competition, EQ, EQ2, UO, DaoC, Anarchy, SWG, UO, AC etc.

Just because a game doesn't have a huge budget doesn't mean they cant innovate, it just shows developers are lazy.
