Edit: Didn't have much to add for today's blog entry. I do have something delicious in store for tomorrows blogging though so stay tuned.

Since the beginning of the world(of Warcraft) the war between the casuals and the elites has been an ongoing battle.
Casuals wanting the game accessible to them. The Elites wanting to stay elite.
The main argument of the casuals has always been that they were paying the same amount of money each month to play the game, so why shouldn't they be allowed to enjoy the same content.
The issue with that very statement is(or should be) as clear as day. Did Nintendo pay you back a percentage of your money spent when you couldn't finish Zelda? Are you gonna complain to the bar owner when you go home alone after seing the other guys at the bar getting it on with this and that girl? I mean, you DID pay the same entry fee and you bought the same beers he did!
The answer is no, and do you want to know why? This world does not revolve around the casuals or as I like to refer to them, the weak. If you want to succeed at anything worth succeeding at you're gonna need to put in a healthy portion of dedication. Elitism, egotistical behaviour or whatever you would like to call it is always gonna be the fundamental element in an evergrowing world. The best will be chosen as the leaders of the free world, the smartest will get rewarded with the best rewards.
Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen!

Unfortunately for people like me, we have started to cater for the casuals, the slackers and the idiots. I live in Denmark, with a welfare system that ensures that nobody will ever go to bed hungry, if you're not batshit retarded you will have a roof over your head and the system will even make sure you have a job. Even if you fail at that they will keep your head afloat with social security. All paid for by the elites of our country.
I will try to not get too political here but I need to get this point through. The mentality that "Even the slackers will make it" is unhealthy to the world. It's like an evergrowing parasite leeching off of the world. Why should the elites work harder to make more money if their own personal gain from doing so is minimal? Why is there no "punishment" for slacking off for the majority of your life?

Not getting politcal here at all. I like socialism.
SvarSletp.s. Elite doesnt mean that you work harder. In the political world "elites" can be quite often the parasites.

Slackers are slackers, hence the existence of the word.
SvarSletThe "Elites" in the real world often are the richer, more intelligent people. Still, I see that these "Elites" need the "slackers" for them to even exist.
Us hard-core raiders need the slackers to give Blizz a nice income. The more Blizz earns, the more content they can create. Believe me, if the amount of people that played the game would double, they more developers they would hire.
Giving the slackers what they want benefits us more then you might know.
Still reading your blog Lite, keep it up.
