Added aprikitKAT's interview to the article!
No trading no grouping please
Man I really would've preferred it if 1) petri flasks are removed 2) world buffs are removed and 3) Trading, mail and auction house are disabled for chars under 60.Although with regards to 3) I'm sure people who prefer that playstyle will use the addon so not that big of a deal.
Well, I'd like to play HC but I prefer to grind in Dungeons instead of questing (cba to walk 70% of the time). So 1 Dungeon per 24h is a no-go for me.
So what about Ritual of Doom?Is this going to be the new Death Roll...lmfao
"Blizzard states that they will not be restricting any type of trading, regarding mail, Auction House, or person to person trading."I predict this will single-handedly ruin hardcore. Gold will be sold to the highest bidder and people will have safe bank alts where they store gear, items and gold. Reaching level 60 won't be an achievement if you're surrounded by people who bought their way there, in my opinion.
"Blizzard will not be making any changes to Flask of Petrification or Dropping group and being teleported out of a Dungeon environment." - It will be extremely common since bots will just farm all the mats"Blizzard states that they will not be restricting any type of trading, regarding mail, Auction House, or person to person trading." - Trading and AH will make the entire HC server a botting hell, its going to ruin the entire challenge and hitting 60 wont actually be that prestiege. There have already been huge botting communities training their bots on HC for months, and since items are deleted from the economy on death they will be able to farm !@#$ more efficiently without losing gold per hour.Atleast restrict items to 1 trade per item before its soulbound to the person.
If Blizzard disable trading, AH & mail I'll be happy with this effort from them, but I do fear that by the end of PTR we'll have "WoW Mediumcore" which means it's back to HWL server and the addon.Only time will tell.
I get it y'all want to stick to the rules of the community hardcore addon and don't like the fact that blizz isn't giving all the features from the addon. If you don't like the things being left out, then use the addon and stick with the challenges in it. But ya, why not call it WoW Classic YOLO (You only live once) haha. Honestly that's blizzard's intention is to make it like that without putting too many restrictions that prevent people doing things how they want to proceed in this Hardcore server. People will always find a way to min-max
No debuff limit is fantastic. Now maybe people will want to play warlock at lvl 60.
