Blizzard has failed at making a fun game

When people make threads justifying why they afk then blizzard needs to take a step back and understand why so many people do this. Its their failure to keep the game interesting and instead of implementing new content for pvp they just spit out new instances for pve.

Blizzard has come to the conclusion that the arena is the be all end all of pvp and its not. Its your failure to keep the interest of the people that play this game that encourage them to afk and leech the system.

When you realize this you'll make the necessary changes that make a difference and not remedial changes like more honor for a tower capped.

Q u o t e:


Really? It usually seems pretty easy, the way some might find it easy to fall over, or perceive light.


lol

*phew* Nice.

Ok, I'll attack the subject itself then I suppose. It's a good subject line, hyperbole catches a lot of attention, we all know this. I don't feel a need to defend how "fun or not" the game is though. That's not the issue any way.

On to AFK issues, it's a difficult topic to be sure, there's a lot of psychology involved, some laziness, some outright cheating, and some profitability. Now, and I'll make it short and sweet, our goal is to help decrease the ability or desire to AFK through changes in AV balance and game mechanics. We're not announcing what those are quite yet though.
