We the community, hate RP

We all dreaded doing toc 5 man because of the massive RP at the start. It was cool the first time, but after that, we just want our badges! Then blizzard did something about it.

For a brief time, we all dreaded halls of reflection. As sexy as Sylvanas is, and as much as we like to see the lich king RP *cough*toc 10/25*cough* blizzard allowed us to skip it after seeing it the first time.

WHY OH WHY BLIZZARD MUST WE SIT THROUGH THE CULLING OF STRATHOLME RP. It is by far the worst of the 3 and the oldest and WE STILL CAN'T SKIP IT.

On behalf of the wow community. Please remove this instance from the game. or at least the 15 minute RP at the beginning of it.

This reminds me of the holiday special with the mouse that writes a letter to Santa that says "signed, all of us" so that the town doesn't get any presents. Please refrain from overstating the like or dislike of others.

Aside from that, this is still an RPG and we are still going to tell a story within the game. That said though, we don't want to make it obtrusive either. As Bornakk said the other day, we're aware of the request to do something to help players skip through Culling of Stratholme dialogue since many people have experienced it and only want to cut to the quick (so to speak). It's more a technical issue than a lack of desire to make a change to help alleviate the concerns people have over not being able to skip past the opening dialogue. If we can address it in the future and feel it's feasible, we will.

I would just remind you to avoid making overarching statements on the behalf of the entire WoW community. It might bite you in an inconvenient place someday. :)

Q u o t e:
IMO Neth's christmas avatar should have been a sexy elf in skimpy clothing.

Much too cold... oh wait...

Obviously i'm not saying everyone hates RP.

But you did. Exhibit A: "we the community, hate RP. "

Q u o t e:
Yeah, Neth bans people who express anti-RP sentiment.

Actually, I don't. I suspend people from the forums who violate the Code of Conduct and disrupt threads. You could choose to discuss moderation in this thread, but that would net you a suspension. Or you could email your constructive feedback to wowcmfeedback@blizzard.com and share your thoughts in a more appropriate location. The choice is yours. Is it the red or blue pill?

Q u o t e:

the title of this thread is merely an attention getter

You also used "we" about six times and said "On behalf of the wow community. " in the body of the post too... ;)
