3.1 Sucks

I’ve only really started to appreciate how much I hate patch 3.1 and now they are putting out patch 3.1.1 to fix some bugs and generally make the game suck even more. I suppose that as a Resto Druid I am simply in morning and depresion over the death of rolling lifebloom stacks, a strat that I had grown to love as a play style in the Burning Crusade. Libebloom’s only real purpose now is to feed it’s self to the bastard child that has forced us back into direct healing, Nourish. I’ve only stepped inside Ulduar once as a Resto Druid and it was enough to solidify my decsion to move to Moonkin as my primary spec and to really give me a taste of how far into the toiliet WoW seems to have gone. Blizzard seems to have completely ran out of ideas for how to make the game feel new and exciting, so they resort to tactics of forcing even more boss mechanics onto raiders, or force healing raiders to not only watch the life totals of everyone in teh raid while singing the star-spandled banner backwards, and hopping on one foot, but now we also have to conserve mana, and we now get to yell at our fellow raiders when they accidently don’t move fast enough. Blizzard has successfully ingrained the idea into the raiding guilds that it is ok to bad mouth and attak the people you thought were friends becuase that is the only way that your guild will ever progress. Even the Argent Tournament is nothing more than another dressed up daily grind fest. The fun that used to be WoW is quickly dieing for me.
