Have Group Will Travel: Keep it?

[Fogyreef]

I think you're drawing the line for lazy in the wrong spot and I think you're getting angry that other people are calling you (and everyone else who wants to keep HGWT) lazy for saying your daily routine depends on it.

Where Mercurio says that 11 minutes for a trip to EoE is too long, I think that 11 minutes for a trip to EoE isn't too long. You say that walking back to the summoning stone when you're in the middle of an instance (and don't have a Warlock) to summon a replacement for your raid is a complete hindrance, whereas, it's something I've had to do for years and just go along with it because I don't see it as that big of a deal. So who's right in this situation?

I think Blizzard has spoiled its playerbase for so long that when something of such little value is taken away and people might have to take 5 - 10 extra minutes to do something, they're now threatening to quit the game. If people want to quit over losing HGWT, so be it.

Whereas I agree if someone wishes to quit over it, please do, I'm unaware of anyone saying they'll unsub because they'll lose HGWT. That's a bit outside the scope of reactions. As is "depending" on it. We won't falter because it's gone, but what's wrong with being efficient with our time? I run shorter two hour raids structured around the work schedule and casual nature of my guild. We all appreciate not wasting time. As a boxer I love the efficiency of RR'ing my guys into town and back to train, etc.

Some people RP by walking everywhere. Not run-walking, but walk-walking. Everyone has their own way of playing. I, too, had to walk until 40 before I could get a mount. I've done the grind. I'm just busy, and I find utility in the perk. Losing HGWT is not a complete hindrance at all. But neither is keeping it. I don't see it as whoever is right should get their way vis a vis killing or keeping HGWT. It's more like if you don't like pickles don't eat them, but please allow me to eat mine. Those against HGWT want to kill it when it doesn't affect their game play, and that's not right, imo.

I agree Blizz has coddled to the playerbase. Mounts at 20 when 20 is the new 10. C'mon. And I agree that life will resume if they remove HGWT. There's just no reason to remove it.
