	<htmltext>Actually, I had some in depth talks with some friends from China about WoW.
<br> <br>
They still only have level 70 because the government STILL hasn't "filtered" every last quest in WotLK for any themes that might contradict the Chinese government policies. I'm dead serious. The "censorship" is that horrific.
<br> <br>
Not only that, but there are some really weird censorship issues you wouldn't expect. For example, there are no undead in Chinese WoW because the Chinese government won't allow any human bones to be shown in the game. So anywhere you see a skeleton, it had to be removed by Blizzard.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Actually, information blocking is rather unsuccessful today because of the widespread use of internet and cheap cell phone plans with internet access (which is darn expensive in Canada).

People have been using "same sound words" in Chinese and many other literature/language related methods to bypass automatic filtering or terms catching. Basically, because of the huge numbers of Chinese words that sounds the same or mean the same with or without combinations, it becomes impossible to catch until the authorities know those terms and interpret those terms in person. By then, new terms would have come out already...

Not to mension Chinese is all over the world and communication between those inside mainland and outside of it allow information to flow in and out efficiently. And then people often uses some programs to bypass the great firewall and read those sensored stuff anyway. At least i know friends who do that and ahve no problem getting information everywhere.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>The fact that this comment is moderated insightful is quite indicative of the ridiculous anti-China bias present in all Western countries and promulgated by all Western media. Perhaps it's because we are out-competing you in the global economy, perhaps it is some fear of "communism", perhaps it is straight up racism.

It's really easy to seem insightful when in reality you're spewing garbage if you're surrounded by people who agree with you.
<br> <br>
I can tell you with certainty after living in both China and the USA that the denizens of neither country care about China's "human rights". "Human rights" is simply a sort of straw man for the Americans to beat on, the real objection the Americans have is that they don't like the trade deficit and would rather see China impoverished, Chinese competitors erased, and manufacturing and tech jobs back in America. People in China don't care about freedoms if the government can guarantee their economic well being, on which progress isn't uniform but is there. Real complaints about the government from within China always result when someone is getting cheated out of money or property, perhaps due to government red tape or corruption.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Right now, it's late in the expansion and here's the problems that I'm seeing:<br>
<br>
- The "B" team is obviously in charge.  So many immersive RPG elements have been removed this year (3 days between server moves or name/race changes).  And they continue to remove any sorts of barriers that make the game world feel real and not just a grind fest of teleporting to an instance then teleporting to another instance.<br>
<br>
- The ToC raid (3rd in the series, Naxx -&gt; Ulduar -&gt; ToC) was a piss poor "toss the players in a box with big scary monsters".  I was bored with it after the 2nd week.  At least Naxx and Ulduar were somewhat interesting with different scenery.  But there were some really stupid fights in Ulduar, where it would take you 15-20 minutes to finish an encounter (only to fail after 10 minutes and have to start over).<br>
<br>
- Most players have gotten all of the alts they could want to level 80.  Most have finished grinding out all WotLK reps to exalted that they care about and are basically biding their time (or trying to keep up with the raid progression).<br>
<br>
- The rumors about the next expansion are out, and nearly everything that you knew about Talents and Attributes will be changing.  So why bother killing yourself now to bone up on stuff that will be obsolete in another 3-6 months.<br>
<br>
And nobody milks their players as much as SOE.  Blizzard is almost a saint in comparison.  Go price out the Station Pass or the various services that you can add onto a EQ2 account.</htmltext>

- The ToC raid ( 3rd in the series , Naxx - &gt; Ulduar - &gt; ToC ) was a piss poor " toss the players in a box with big scary monsters " .
I was bored with it after the 2nd week .
At least Naxx and Ulduar were somewhat interesting with different scenery .
But there were some really stupid fights in Ulduar , where it would take you 15-20 minutes to finish an encounter ( only to fail after 10 minutes and have to start over ) .
- Most players have gotten all of the alts they could want to level 80 .
Most have finished grinding out all WotLK reps to exalted that they care about and are basically biding their time ( or trying to keep up with the raid progression ) .
- The rumors about the next expansion are out , and nearly everything that you knew about Talents and Attributes will be changing .
So why bother killing yourself now to bone up on stuff that will be obsolete in another 3-6 months .
And nobody milks their players as much as SOE .
Blizzard is almost a saint in comparison .
Go price out the Station Pass or the various services that you can add onto a EQ2 account .</tokentext>
<sentencetext>Right now, it's late in the expansion and here's the problems that I'm seeing:

- The "B" team is obviously in charge.
So many immersive RPG elements have been removed this year (3 days between server moves or name/race changes).
And they continue to remove any sorts of barriers that make the game world feel real and not just a grind fest of teleporting to an instance then teleporting to another instance.
- The ToC raid (3rd in the series, Naxx -&gt; Ulduar -&gt; ToC) was a piss poor "toss the players in a box with big scary monsters".
