I can't remember if it was from here or my guild's forums, but someone linked an article where a study showed that incompetent people don't realize they're bad. They even believe that when they do things they do them well. The study also showed that competent people often feel they under-perform when doing a task.
Just a quote,
"The more incompetent someone is in a particular area, the less qualified that person is to assess anyone’s skill in that space, including their own. When one fails to recognize that he or she has performed poorly, the individual is left assuming that they have performed well. As a result, the incompetent will tend to grossly overestimate their skills and abilities."

Yeah, I was just about to say something like that. :P It's easily observable in all areas.
I think it has a simple answer: the more you learn with your intelligence, the more you realize you don't know yet. If you're, well, stupid, you just don't have the capacity to see above that horizon.

I just don't understand how people new to the game, or those that are remotely aware of patches and new releases don't bother to just Google their preferred class at some point in time.
A simple Google search for "arms warrior pvp" not even using WoW or world of warcraft in the search, and the FIRST thing listed (other than a video) are 2 wiki pages, one detailing how to PvP against classes and another one for spec, with more below that even go into gearing.
within literally 8 seconds, the information on how to spec for leveling, raiding and PvPing is available with no less than 7 different specs that have a description of what its meant for.
Sure this doesn't go into elitist jerks or other theory crafting mechanics/overloaded information, so they wouldn't be the 'best' but it gives you something other than.... dee de dee this talent looks cool.
This can be done for every class, I just don't get it.

I mean, yeah, that's a smart idea for maximizing dps and stuff.
But, I mean, 90% of this stuff you can figure out by reading it.
"Why would I want resilience... oh hovering over it it says reduces crit chance by human players... I don't pvp too much so I don't really need that while leveling. Oh, why would I want a talent that reduces the chance I'll be stunned... I don't think I've ever seen that really happen, let me come back to that if I have free points." Most of them you can make logical guesses about what might be good for you.

For 95% of the playerbase, WoW is just a game. It doesn't even occur to them that they need to optimize their character.
They just assume what ever choices they make are good ones, since it's a choice that can be made.

To be fair, WoW was releasted in Nov 2004 and I've waited until March 2005 to join. Meanwhile all this time I've waited for the game to stabalized, and did my research on all the classes to maximize my utility: read up on class mechanics, roles, and playstyle. I found rogue to be the most powerful class at the time (Unlimited damage potential, no universal cooldown, saw Ming's Stunlock chain combo, stealth to bypass and make questing so much easier, etc) and so I rolled a Gnome Rogue on Lightning's blade.
While a gnome rogue was everything I've envisioned, the game itself changed. No amount of research at the time will reveal that blizzard will nerf rogues for 3 patches straight, or the fact that rogues were overpopulated and will be hated (and mostly KOS, killed-on-sight), and adding a raid instance "molten Core" changed the dynamics of a rogue's gameplay. Basically because i'm a medicore rogue amoungst millions of other medicore rogues I wasn't able to get into raid and join end game content (at the time.) It was a good thing I've also rolled a druid, who will later became an amazing healer that provides innervate, battle rez, and an important part of the guild I was in for 2 years.

Might punt players to a common server for the duration of that BG?
Only alternative to that would be networking gameplay itself between two datacenters, which sounds like a really bad idea.
Maybe I'm misremembering, but wasn't one of the fixes for the "Additional Instances Cannot Be Launched" issue that they set up dedicated instance servers in their home office that they could bleed the overflow off to? It's possible that was also a test for setting up a cross-battlegroup system.

In order to decrease how much misanthropy I've felt like I've been adding, I should toss in that a common cause for such phenomena is not having much experience with english. At least, I sincerely hope that's the cause for some of the stuff I've seen.
Reminds me of when I applied for a job at Caterpillar a month ago. There was an employment test you had to take: basic math, some simple reading and problem-solving skills. It was 9th grade high school stuff at the worst, and it was hideously easy. I even took my time with it to make sure I wasn't missing something. I felt like I did really well at it.

Then I found out that, for that test, close to 90% of the people who took it passed it, but Caterpillar arbitrarily failed exactly half of the people who took it, accepting the other half.
This reminds me of the time I took the entrance exam for my college math classes to determine where I should be placed. Me. I took AP calculus in high school my senior year and was contemplating taking AP chem and physics as well.
I failed it because I couldn't remember really basic, but mindfuckingly weird concepts dealing with fractions and trig. But give me some fucking functions and I could do some numerical integration on them and derive my face off.

I think some people underestimate just how stupid people can really be. I mean, if you were to go down the street and stop and talk to 10 people, really try to get them to have a conversation with you, you'd find that probably 6 or 7 of them seem like complete morons to you, because they lack critical thinking skills at best, and are borderline mentally retarded at worst.
These same people are playing WoW, and firing it up does not magically make them smart. There are some people out there that fit into the plays casually and just doesn't care to learn anything more than frostbolt is fun group, but far more fit into the complete idiot who just doesn't understand simple concepts group.
Like on Leno the other day as I was channel surfing he was doing his little ask people on the street and he came across two British chicks and asked them how they felt about the US' school system compared to Britian's. Then he asked them which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of something else (forgot what he said).
That was pretty funny when they said the other thing, because feathers are light ya know!

Haha. Yeah, we had something similar. When registering, we had to take some math tests, and I failed them prety hard. But I ended up avoided taking the remedial college math classes because I had passed the AP calculus test (which I didn't get results for until later).

Those talents trees got a lot of shit in them. Like Genesis in Balance. Increases DoTs and Hots by 1-5%. Yeah, because talents that increase all damage by 1-5% are boring and deserve to be cut, but hey, talents that increase only some damage by 1-5% are super exciting and fun.
This is funny to me. GC said something the other day to the effect of how Cruelty was a lame talent and they might spruce it up for Warriors by making the added crit only apply to certain attacks. Like nerfing it to only work with a few attacks would somehow make it more exciting than just 5% crit to everything.
I had a feeling when they said they were going to remove all those talents that just add a passive bonus that they were shooting for too high a mark. I mean, if they really were to get rid of them all they'd have to get ultra creative to fill in all the voids. I'm sure whoever thought up Warbringer has a trophy in his office, but he just can't recreate that magic at will.
And no, genesis does not alter the playstyle or rotation of resto or balance druids. It just makes their HoTs and DoTs do 5% more. The talent might as well just say "5% more healing and damage done, but only for some of your stuff."
If it makes it more likely/beneficial that you will cast that stuff instead of some other stuff, then yeah, it alters your playstyle. If it was a "everything does 5% more" type thing then it would not change it at all. think of hunger for Blood as an example there.
I can't remember if it was from here or my guild's forums, but someone linked an article where a study showed that incompetent people don't realize they're bad. They even believe that when they do things they do them well. The study also showed that competent people often feel they under-perform when doing a task.

Mianimia was geared at about 3300gs. So kinda fresh 80, no biggie.
Unskint though... wow. 4400 gear score, but it's a collision of gear from every spec, pve and pvp, thrown together (mostly SP gear of course) and tied together with a rotation that stopped at auto-attack. Honestly... I think I got trolled.

Because it's easier for them to tell you that you failed the test due to your incompetence and lack of skill instead of telling you they arbitrarily failed you. It's more of a passive-aggressive way of saying they didn't want you. It also places the blame squarely on your shoulders, not theirs. So they get off scott free, and you're stuck wondering why you fail so bad at basic mathematics.
Ok, I gotta ask: Why does everyone seem to think GC is a dick?
I've found him to be the best Blizzard poster we've ever had. He's informative and he explains shit and he smacks around the idiot trolls every now and then.
Although the answer is that people seem to think he should be jumping through his own asshole to be pleasant to everyone all the time rather than focus on something useful.

GC is a dick, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, dicks fuck assholes, assholes who just want to shit on everything.
I don't see a reason not to besides slighty higher latency for players who end up on far away battlegroups.
I was under the impression that battlegroups are "limited" the way they are due to the datacenter setup -- that they can't have cross-server anything across different datacenters. Although maybe they aren't actually going cross-datacenter and they'll just be smashing together battlegroups that happen to be in the same datacenter? I'm just curious how this will work.
It's not really fair to, say, punt someone from a server where they have ~80ms latency to one where they have ~250ms.

I failed it because I couldn't remember really basic, but mindfuckingly weird concepts dealing with fractions and trig. But give me some fucking functions and I could do some numerical integration on them and derive my face off.
These same people are playing WoW, and firing it up does not magically make them smart. There are some people out there that fit into the plays casually and just doesn't care to learn anything more than frostbolt is fun group, but far more fit into the complete idiot who just doesn't understand simple concepts group.
That was pretty funny when they said the other thing, because feathers are light ya know!
Haha. Yeah, we had something similar. When registering, we had to take some math tests, and I failed them prety hard. But I ended up avoided taking the remedial college math classes because I had passed the AP calculus test (which I didn't get results for until later).
this makes no sense to me.
I would be ROYALLY pissed if I was told I failed a test that I passed with flying colors. Hire me or not, that's cool. Don't fucking lie to me and call it procedure.
Yeah, it's a pretty dick move that they disguise it as a fail.

I mean, if it were an essay test or something, fine, they could just be like, "That's not quite what we're looking for in that answer."

Only the strong can help the weak.
I don't see why they would not just say this and instead lie and say he failed (assuming he is telling the story correctly).

Mianimia was geared at about 3300gs. So kinda fresh 80, no biggie.
Unskint though... wow. 4400 gear score, but it's a collision of gear from every spec, pve and pvp, thrown together (mostly SP gear of course) and tied together with a rotation that stopped at auto-attack. Honestly... I think I got trolled.
It's not really fair to, say, punt someone from a server where they have ~80ms latency to one where they have ~250ms.
