The Auto-DE Change and Political Afiliation.

#0 - Nov. 2, 2009, 5:24 a.m.

Browsing the WoW general forums the past couple days, i have noticed more and more about the *****storm call the auto-DE feature coming in 3.3. Enchanters feel that, with this change, they will start to lose out on shards, and that the other people that are grouped with them are getting the benefit of their hard earned profession without their say.

The supporters of this change think that it is for the good of the masses, and that overall it will make things more simpler and better for everyone. So what if some enchanters will lose out on the shards? Or that enchanters will be forced to use their profession in cross-realm groups. In the end it helps out more people and makes things similar. The masses > the minority.

This just strikes me as very similar to the real world and politics. On one side, we have the enchanters, who think that their profession, which they spent gold and time on leveling up and using, should not to be used for the benefit of others without the enchanter's say, and that while everyone else is gaining a benefit of the enchanter being there, the enchanter gains no other such benefit from the other group members being there. The next time you are in a group and say on of the dps is a miner and mines a titanium ore, tell him that everyone of the group members gets to roll on the ore and gems/crystalized elements that were in the node. See what kind of reaction you get. Thats what enchanters feel. These people to me i think would lean more towards being a republican on issues, and being more conservative.

Then we have the others, who think that this change will be better for everyone, and will make things much more simpler then rolling for shards at the end. This new system would also eliminate cross-realm shard ninjas, which would run rampent if the old way was still in place. The change would be for the better of the community, and since most people are NOT enchanters then the majority would end up benefiting more with this change. And lets face it, blizzard is a company and keeping the majority happy and making changes for simpler and more efficient systems for the masses is their best bet. These people strike me as being more Democratic, and would lean more liberal on other issues.

just thought i'd like to share some of my observations with y'all, and see if anyone else kinda sees this trend.

so TL;DR Enchanters who don't want the change= republicans, and the people who love the change =Democrats.

Just something i'd like to take a tally on, see if i might be right. or retarded. One of the two.

It's an interesting though useless observation which will not incite constructive discussion about the change itself. Please leave real-world politics to the real world.
