I used to work for Microsoft (not the mobile division) and we had an internal mailing list where we could talk about the phone and provide feedback. There was a small but vocal group in the community that said we should forget making our own OS and use Android. Customize the phone with the Metro interface, do full Office integration, and expand on things like integration with Xbox. They felt that the killer was that no matter how good the phone was that getting developers to code their apps for a third platform was going to be a constant uphill battle. And they were right. Canâ(TM)t tell you how many times someone would say they would try it if it werenâ(TM)t for the fact that several of their favorite apps were missing.

Comment What a pain (Score 1) 414

While it only covers a small portion of the population, I see this being real a pain for some of us. I have to work from home from time to time so in turn my company covers the cost of my internet access since it's required for my job. So what, now do I need to install a second line? One for family use and the other for business? Iwish these guys would open their eyes. No customer likes pay as you go. While it's a little different, Netflix doent charge you per streamed movie and they're making money hand over fist. Make more money by having a better product and not by squeezing your customer until you get every last drop of blood out of them.

Making it easier? yes. Far too easy? I don't think so. Faster leveling will be nice for those just entering the game or alt-o-holics(I myself got cured of that some time ago). Hitting 80 isn't the end of the grind if you want to raid. In fact it's harder the longer the you go cause people expect you to have a level of gear before they bring you along. Getting that takes time so the quicker the xp grind the better. I love the cross server instances. I play a tank and a healer so finding a group has never been a problem for me but when I do want to just dps I wont be waiting forever...just a little longer than I normally would. The other great thing about the cross server instances is that people can do dungeons while leveling again. No one runs the old instances anymore. Such a shame. 1. They're fun 2. If you get a good group and can move fast they’re a fast XP. 3. Most important...they're training. You level a tank or healer and do dungeons while leveling by the time you get to 80 you have a pretty good idea of what you're doing. You won’t know it all but you'll know there’s more to being a tank than doing a respec, wearing a mix a blu dps gear and green (of defense) items, and stating "here I am" Has raiding been mad easier? You bet. Back in the day I was in a guild and had quite a few server first kills. It was great and lots of fun. But I dont have that time anymore and if I were a developer I would hate to invest a lot of time creating something that only 5% of the population will see. Those that still do want that game have their hard modes and are rewarded for it. At the end of the day it's a game. You play a game to have fun and be challenged. If WoW is no longer providing that for you then (and I don't mean this to be rude in any way) perhaps you need to find something new. It's your money and you should spend it on something you truly enjoy.
