Amstel Interview

WoW guild master's views

This time I sat down and talked with my old friend and ex-guild leader Amstel. Grab the podcast Here I started WoW before him and got him invited to my original guild Harm. After we got sick of being peons in a huge machine Amstel left and began his own guild called Vendetta, which I joined a few weeks later. We progressed through every dungeon at lightning speed eventually killing C'thun and getting fairly deep into Naxx before BC was released.

In this interview I tried to hit on every major point of interested related to WoW and MMORPGs in general. Patch 2.3 is discussed, item selling, grief play, AV, PVP balance, guild drama, AFKing in battlegrounds, arena system exploitation (win trading), and finally we spend a lot of time talking about the aspects of WoW we find lacking compared to other "real" fun mmorpgs we have played together in the past. Developers take note. Players, if you want to express your views and do an interview like this you know where to find me.

Here are some highlights to wet your appetite

Newton: So what made you quit and then what made you re-start WoW?

Amstel: I just restarted because I was bored. I had nothing to do, but what made me stop is I just don't think it's a good game.

Newton: I hear that a lot.... that it's not a good game, but people keep playing it.

Amstel: Well as MMOs go there is really nothing better that's out right now, so it's either play this or play nothing.


Newton: What are you looking for?

Amstel: A more PvP oriented game where stuff actually matters.

Newton: What do you think about players who just want to do PvP and ignore PvE?

Amstel: I would hope Blizzard would make a server for the PVPers. To me every server is a PvE server in WoW.

Newton: What do you think of grief players, like corpse campers and the like..

Amstel: I would hope to see more of it.

Newton: Say you have an account thats gotten the AFK flag 20 times in a row , do you think thats grounds to ban that account?

Amstel: Well sure, but I don't think they will because thats one less person paying them.

Newton: Well it might be one less if there are 2 people who are going to quit because of AFKers ruining BGs

Amstel: It's just like vegas, like Blackjack.... You gotta go with the sure money.
