So Blizzard have tweaked and improved WoW have they?  To me the results
look like cosmetic surgery gone badly wrong.
The results are very poor, and you do wonder if anyone at Blizzard tried
them out before releasing them?  And if they did, did they realise what
a mess they made of the whole thing but couldn't face the thought of the
resultant waste and costs if they trashed them?

But in the long term this is all part of what I am  convinced is the
"dumbing down" of the game.
Last week I started to play Diablo 2, just for old times sake really.
In solo mode, not on online.   And what I found was that even in normal
mode the game is very difficult and in comparison makes WoW look like a
walk in the park.  D2 of course hasn't been touched by Blizzard in over
6 years and so is still in it's real "raw" state.  WoW in comparison has
been tweaked and adjusted and updated and re-tweaked so many times that
it's no longer the game it was.

I remember when I first played WoW some of the early tasks were very
difficult and took two or maybe three attempts to get past them and to
develop the story and your character.  Not now alas.  And if I'm right,
then this is a definite decision on the part of Blizzard to make the
game as easy as possible and thus generate more income/cash flow.

Maybe it's time to find something else to spend my time and money on.
