Sheesh...Follow

Everyone turned into a lurker...

Perhaps it is because if anyone tries something different or even suggests a different way of doing things they get down rated or its just me thinking that is happening ?

36 views and hardly any replies says to me people are afraid to say what they think here Theo that was what i was trying to say , look at any section and if you are lucky one new thread starts every few days and half of those should never have been started which to me says the board needs a shake up call or we have answered every question possible for every class which going by some of the very outdated stickies i doubt is happening.

Theo - we all know the only reason why the boards light up a bit when you post is because you've made an inflammatory, yet usually informative, post that illicits a QQ from a lot of people.

Quite frankly, I think the stickies need a complete overhaul. While a lot of the info is uptodate, there's also quite a bit of info that's outdated (or not updated to include WotLK... i.e. the poison sticky isn't necessary).

Would I fix them? Sure, I would. Am I going to? Probably not, as I don't have the plethora of info in my mind to do so.... Plus, I'm lazy.

It's not Theo being a **** gobbler, its the fact the core playstyle and tactics for a Rogue haven't changed at all since TBC.

Rotations are easy to figure out, easy to master.


The only reason these forums float is new people and regulars just chatting.


And you are seeing a huge decrease in activity, considering 4-5 of the regulars I've known for 2-3 years on here now, all don't play anymore, or barely at all.

Yea...not much to discuss anymore that can't be solved with a spreadsheet.

"LOL SHOULD I GO ARPEN OR AGI?!?!?"

*click click*

"AGI NAO!"

My part in this would be the fact that I more or less stopped playing my rogue - I find my DK to be more fun in PvP (mainly because I find myself doing 3 times as less button presses) and my priest in PvE. That said, these boards will live up quite a lot once Cata is released, I predict. I just wonder what will happen to these boards if Blizzard follows through on the "specs are used to define your playstyle, not your effectiveness" path they've went down, seeing as on these forums there's no room for anything unique or experimental.

On the flipside, there isn't much left to experiment with by now. Mut/prep works in PvE, combat works in PvE, HAT used to work. Assassination works in PvP, Shadowdance is less used but works in PvP as well, combat works in PvP by putting on PvE gear and using Killing Spree as an I-WIN button, and it's obvious that duo- or trispecs don't work for anything because the idea of "a cc tree" and "two damage trees" doesn't apply as much to rogues as it does to for instance mages.

The rogue boards really are dead; as a long time lurker, I'm amazed at how the participation has slowly dwindled.

Fine... let's discuss the color blue.


I'm quite fond of the color blue myself. The sky is blue, sometimes the water is blue (or, at least looks like it due to the reflection from the sky). It's such a calming color for me.

Last I checked, rogue was the least played class on my server, horde side.
So, the surge of DK's and the emphasis on hybrids (lol 10 man raid with four shamans) is thinning our ranks.
Less interest in the class = less activity on the boards.

But sometimes said blood can turn blue... which brings me back to some blue carnations I got for Valentine's day once. They were dyed yellow and blue (two of my favorite colors). Quite lovely to see them. Too bad they're not dead as it has been about two years now.
