Tuesday, 23rd of June 2009 at 03:51:17 PM We again have 3.2 on the brain this week! We’re one episode away from the big 50 and we welcome a guest who is a hoarse of another color. Veronica Belmont of Tekzilla, Qore and VeronicaBelmont.com joins us with her voice a little on the raspy side. Fighting a cold, she still manages to educate us on some of the newest trends in gaming and talk about some of her wild WoW adventures. Additionally, we discuss some deep topics including looting issues and the Hardcore vs. Casual debate. |

EDIT: Ok.. mabye Brunnhildar isn’t from Bugs Bunny.. But, you know.. it’s an interesting coincidence..
I have an issue with the “hardcore” people who are complaining about the nerfs to bosses. These don’t downgrade their accomplishments; they still did it when it was hard. It downgrades their ability to show off. The people who matter will probably know when you killed a boss, so what does it matter that others can now down a boss as well?
Granted on paper their accomplishment looks the same as someone who killed the boss after a nerf, but again the fact remains that they did kill the boss before the nerf. Isn’t it enough that the hardcore raider did it without having to show it off to everyone?
