Tell us What You Intend........Blizzard

So I was strolling on the WoW forum to see whats happening in our world and came upon this thread and when I hit a certain point I just couldn't stop laughing. It goes like this.

A Druid named Satichel was sincerely asking in a Thread to Blizzard Tell us what you intend with the direction of the game between PvP and PvE and on the state of both sides of the game and and the lack of information from Blizzard. So Blizzard poster Nethaera responds 2 different times to no one satisfaction in the thread:

We intend to keep focusing on fun, advancing the storyline of World of Warcraft and Azeroth and finding ways to continue giving players a challenge while making as much as possible still accessible. We intend to add siege weapons in PvP and we intend on continuing to make great PvE encounters.

There will always be argument about direction and many will argue for or against a direction as if it is the way to go or the way not to go, but World of Warcraft offers many things to many people and we like it that way. We want to continue to entice players to take part in many facets of the game.

And 2nd time again:

Not moving toward fun. Continuing to work to create fun as we always have. Their question was very general and leading. I answered in a general way to show that nothing has changed or is changing in so far as our philosophy for World of Warcraft. We want our players to have fun. We want our friends and family to have fun. We want to have fun ourselves. Whether they are having fun or not or think what we have in store for the future is fun or not, is wholly based on their own opinion which they have every right to.

This isn't about PvE over PvP or vice versa. They are both a part of the game and will continue to both have some level of focus put into them by the development team.

So futher down is one player a lvl 70 Paladin named Pallymcbeal responds below to sum up things from Blizzard response in the thread.

You keep using this word, fun.

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, thanks Galo.

Honestly a lot of the responses from the blues are becoming more and more corporate/marketing responses than tru indication of where Blizz will go. Are they afraid of showing their cards to the other gaming companies since Conan and WAR will be coming out to challenge them? Although I hate the way in which Sony made EQ/EQ2 into nothing but endless money making machine with expansions, you knew where the game is going. PvE and PvP seems to really have a lot of ppl in a bunch, I just use both aspect to augment each other so I can have "fun".

Blizzard just can't seem to face the idea that PvP and PvE are two totally different games.

What works for PvP will not work in a raid, and a strategy to fight High King will be utterly useless in an arena.

Likewise, a prot warrior in an arena is a weak link, and an arms warrior sporting 400 resilience in a raid is a wasted raid slot.

Gear you use as a mage for Tier 5 raiding will be almost as bad as being nude in Arathi Basin.

The spec that pwnzors noobs in 1900 bracket arena as a rogue will be embarassingly low on the DPS charts in, say, Karazhan.

There are two completely different games at work here, and until people get around to realizing that some stuff just doesn't mesh between the two, there will be stuff like this, and people QQ'ing.

The real log should read:

You are effected by Cyclone
You PVP Trinket
You run behind a pillar
You see Enemy Druid go Bearform
You move within Feral Charge deadzone
You force Druid to start healing his neglected partner
You and your partner do a quick swap on Druid
That was a ton of fun
