That blizzard keeps saying they don't want to spend more money on artists/redoing zones, when the C.E.O fires 500 people, and a year later goes and increases his own salary by 800%? That post about redoing Silvermoon in the front page really irked me. It really doesn't take long [as a 3D Artist myself] maybe a week of dedication tops for a team of artists to redo a city like Silvermoon, and them to say 'Would you rather another raid, or silvermoon?" Is really pathetic. They are a triple A MMORPG company, and they should act like it. An RPG is about a world, and to pit players against each other like that, and constantly answer questions so weakly like that, it really annoys the hell out of me when they act like money is an issue, or time is an issue, I know for a fact that LEVEL DESIGN for each zone is done atleast a year before an expansion comes out. it takes about [give or take] a week to redo a city like silvermoon, a raid takes more effort from the balancing/encounter team then the level designers.
When they compare a raid to a capital city it just makes me facepalm so hard at how lazy they are.
So, does it irk anyone else [Mainly others experienced/familliar in game design] when they make excuses like that? If so, why?
