Avalon Consulting, LLC, a leading implementer of Big Data, Web Presence, Content Publishing, and Enterprise Search solutions, today announced record revenue in 2012, representing a 32% year-over-year growth, as it marks its 10 year anniversary in business. Company owners Tom Reidy and Casey Green highlight NoSQL and Big Data implementation capabilities as the key catalysts to Avalon's increased revenue in 2012 and expect the firm to continue rapid growth in 2013. Avalon plans to hire additional senior-level employees with technology skills such as Java development, XML, Hadoop and NoSQL databases in 2013 to further support its growth.
"Our 10 year anniversary and the growth we've experienced in 2012 mark a very exciting time for Avalon," said Tom Reidy, CEO, President and Founder of Avalon Consulting, LLC. "During the recession, when many technology companies were tightening their belts and scaling back, Avalon chose to make strategic business investments. We identified opportunities for growth in the market and made a commitment to further developing our team of architects who can deliver superior technology implementations. As we celebrate 10 years, I am proud of our team and the services we deliver our clients, and excited for the opportunities ahead of us."
Founded in 2003, Avalon has continued to experience growth in its client base, office locations and revenue. Avalon attributed its success to four key pillars - developing a highly focused business model that is centered on ensuring client success; forming a limited number of highly strategic vendor partnerships; expanding an employee base with exceptional senior-level architects and its willingness to invest in training for highly skilled employees in emerging technologies. In addition to the record financial performance, in 2012, Avalon was recognized as MarkLogic Corporation's "Innovator of the Year."
"Avalon Consulting, LLC is a key integration partner for MarkLogic, and the organization's focus on innovation is a valuable asset when identifying customers' requirements and successfully implementing enterprise NoSQL solutions," said David Ponzini, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development at MarkLogic.
Upon its founding, Avalon achieved immediate success through expert implementation of large-scale Enterprise Portals. The company subsequently expanded into deployment of large Web Content Management and Enterprise Search solutions servicing dozens of Fortune 500 clients while being named "Partner of the Year" by Vignette Corporation for three consecutive years. Avalon expanded the number of senior-level architects on staff through hiring of employees instead of using contractors and grew through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business rather than a reliance on outbound sales. This model allowed Avalon to provide superior quality service at an exceptional value without hassles and pressures that often accompany the engagement of a consulting organization.
Headquartered in Plano, Texas, Avalon also has offices in Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas and recently opened an office in Chicago. The company services clients across all of North America. In 2012, additional Avalon key accomplishments included:
- Established formal partnership with Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT); Dr. Sriram Mohan, faculty member of advanced databases, will join the company on sabbatical for a one-year period from August 2013 through July 2014 before returning to RHIT.
- Surpassed five licenses for Avalon's Unified Search Platform (USP), further validating our unique expertise in delivery of elegant Enterprise Search user interfaces. USP is now operating in production against instances of IDOL, Ultraseek, Solr, MarkLogic, and Google Search Appliance.
- Announced early introduction of the Unified Search and Analytics Platform (USAP) for advanced Big Data Analytics solutions that combine structured and unstructured data in one business intelligence solution; filed for provisional patents to protect key innovations within USAP.
- Launched ADEPTCentral as a standalone Learning and Performance Management consulting company that provides expertise to academic, corporate and movement entities.

One of the biggest impacts of the Internet of Things is and will continue to be on data; specifically data volume, management and usage. Companies are scrambling to adapt to this new and unpredictable data reality with legacy infrastructure that cannot handle the speed and volume of data.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Don DeLoach, CEO and president of Infobright, will discuss how companies need to rethink their data infrastructure to participate in the IoT, including:

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Mar. 2, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,062 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

As you know, business success doesn't just happen by luck. It takes hard work, determination, and a lot of perseverance to make it come alive. And one key feature of a well organized and managed company of any magnitude, is the design and implementation of Success Systems.
These types of systems can take a daily operation and turn it into a rhythmic task with higher efficiency. Understand that you can't expect to achieve great results by simply "winging it." That may work in some instances but not for the sustainability and growth of a truly successful business.

2nd hearing begins on proposed SD uranium mine
RAPID CITY (AP) — The second of two state permit hearings on a proposed uranium mine in western South Dakota is this week in Rapid City.
The state Water Management Board is deciding whether to approve permits for Powertech Uranium Corp.'s proposed Dewey-Burdock mine near Edgemont. The hearing was to be held earlier this month but was postponed because of a snowstorm.

Amazon Sales Tax: The Battle, State by State
New York
Amazon is challenging the legality of a New York law passed in 2008 that requires it to collect taxes based on its affiliates.
While thus far Amazon has stuck it out in New York and abided by the rule, the case is currently in the state appeals court.
New York collected $70 million in sales tax from online retailers in fiscal 2009-2010.
Hawaii Amazon dumped Hawaii affiliates in 2009 as a battle with the state over sales tax escalated. On March 8, 2011, a Hawaii bill was passed in the House and transmitted to the Senate. The bill creates a nexus standard for taxing out-of-state business and Internet retailers/affiliate business.
Rhode Island Amazon broke ties with Rhode Island in 2009 after its legislature passed a bill that would require the Internet retailer to begin collecting sales tax.
North Carolina Amazon no longer has an affiliate program in North Carolina. The company broke ties in June 2009.
South Dakota On March 10, South Dakota's governor signed a bill that enacted reporting regulations for out-of-state retailers and expanded the definition of nexus to include out-of-state retailers in order to collect taxes on Internet sales.
Massachusetts Massachusetts introduced a bill to protect Main-Street retailers and promote sales tax fairness. The bill would require out-of-state retailers with Massachusetts affiliates to collect and remit sales tax.

Thank you so much for the kind review Shelly. Glad that you enjoyed your stay. We were very happy to have you as a guest!
Also many thanks for letting us know of the two issues you think we need to address: We have fixed the shower drain and cleaned the window frames. The space between the double glazed windows in the main bedroom proves to be a bit trickier. It'll be a bit of a project, we reckon we'll need to change the windows in the near future.
Enjoy your time back home and in Peru!

Ad: Entertainment Earth added a ton of new Hasbro Star Wars pre-orders! Lots of new figures, cases, and sets are up for grabs today. Why wait? Get a Star Wars Black Series Captain Rex 3 3/4-Inch Figure, a Star Wars Black Series Commander Doom 3 3/4-Inch Figure, and so much more - like these amazing figures.
Good news, everyone! New stuff is starting to hit - I personally saw a Target in Phoenix, AZ have a couple of Wullfwarro/Wookiee Warrior and Sabine Wren/Stormtrooper Star Wars Mission Series 2-packs at $9.99 a pop this evening before dinner. (I didn't see any of the other new ones.) If you're in the market for these, either order online at your favorite store or gas up the car!
Ad: Entertainment Earth added a ton of new Hasbro pre-orders! Lots of Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, and more await you if you get them before they sell out. Why wait? Pre-order yours today!
Get some green! The new 6-inch Clone Trooper Sergeant! Figure of the Day is here to show you Hasbro's second-ever articulated figure with the brownish/olive rank markings. Previous figures were mostly 3 3/4-inch, and mostly a brighter green.
You get a rifle, a blaster pistol, and a ton of paint on the previously all-white Clone Trooper mold. Basically, short of battle damage, this figure gives you everything you could hope for. Well, maybe you could hope for an alternate unhelmeted head but I think it's pretty great as it is.
Anyway, read on!
It's a tie! Or more specifically, it's a 6-inch TIE Pilot! Figure of the Day is here to show you the upsized take on everybody's favorite flying menace, which is unsurprisingly pretty good!
You get a holster, a blaster, and a pretty great sculpt here for twenty bucks. The paint job is good, there are rocker ankles, and unlike most of the past decade's worth of 3 3/4-inch TIE Fighter pilots, this one is an all-new sculpt for a change. If that doesn't put a smile on your face, what will?
Anyway, read on!
If you got the vintage figure from a couple years back, the Luke Skywalker (Hoth - The Black Series 2014) action figure offers a new head and a little less paint. He lost a couple of really cool tampos, but he has a noggin that's more like what Kenner made before the change to Hasbro, with a scarf hanging off the side. This is probably your go-to "vintage 1982 upgrade" until Hasbro decides to start doing intentionally wrong paintjobs - so read on!
He's one of the ISB's finest! Agent Kallus chases down Jedi and other undesirables for the Emperor, and boy howdy does he love his job. He's a pretty well-trained agent too, with a unique costume that mixes and matches elements from other familiar faces. Read on!
Today in Figure of the Day: Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios! He's hitting stores now, or you could've ordered one at our fine sponsors. He has 5 joints and is a lot taller than most figures in the line - unfortunately he's also too wide to fit in the new vehicles, save for the Inquisitor's TIE Fighter. Check him out - read on!
The Inquisitor is hitting shelves now and unlike most characters, that appears to be his name for the time being. The figure is pretty nifty and sports the lightsaber death disc as seen on the TV show. Did you get yours yet? You should get one. Read on!
Do you need the Rebels version of R2-D2? No. It's a brand-new sculpt and actually looks a lot like the movie version, but it's so gosh darned close that you wouldn't miss it if you missed it. Click here to read on and see more, including comparisons with the recent movie Mission Series version.
Today in Figure of the Day: Star Wars Rebels Stormtrooper! It's a 5-jointed, exaggerated, 3 3/4-inch action figure with a gun.

Cannot RMAPros: Worked great for what I was doing. Never ran into any issues until recently (see cons) Cons: The customer service experience with Asus has been horrible for me so far. It died on me without warning one day. And when I try to do a RMA it will not take my serial at all so I can't even try and get it replaced under warranty without the SN. I tried directly contacting Asus several times through phone and the line is either always busy or doesn't exist anymore for their components department. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Very stable, haven't had any issues with this. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Board!Pros: I've had this board for over a year now and I've had no problems that anyone has stated. My board came in undamaged, I installed everything myself, this being my FIRST build ever. Everything went nice and smooth. Asus had a nice manual that explained a lot of things to me that I didn't understand and their support has been phenomenal. I have bugged them several times on their forums and through support and they have always replied in a timely fashion. This board performs amazingly in all fashions. I have had no problems overclocking my i7 4770k, nor have I had even a burp in getting my 2400 MHz ram to post right out of the box. XMP profiles work like a breeze. The new BIOS was very confusing at first but after a little exploring I found everything I needed. Asus Suite III has served me well once I got it all straightened out. (See Cons). Right out of the box, never overclocking a day in my life I had my i7 cruising smoothly at 4.3 GHz, which is great considering most struggle beyond 4.1 from what I've read. I gained 16% in performance from overclocking by clicking 1 button in the Suite. Can't beat that with a stick! Cons: The only real con that I have with this board is the disk that came with it. I got this board shortly after z87 hit the shelves and I had to update everything that I installed. Normally this isn't a big deal but Asus Suite III is a nightmare unless you happen to find the right forum posts. They have an Asus Suite Cleaner that you can download to remove Asus Suite completely and cleanly, and you should before every update. Once I figured all this out, after hours of forum search on the ROG forums, Asus Suite III became a definite PRO. I wish it had bought a slightly higher end board for more fan ports and SATA ports. I filled this board a lot faster than I had planned originally. Other Thoughts: Asus has served me well once again. I've turned a lot of my friends to Asus fanboys and not one has given me a reason to second guess that. I really appreciate the wonderful products. BTW, I love my new GTX 970 Strix Edition that my GF bought me. Keep on keepin' on! Thanks again guys! 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great, almostPros: Cheap (Newer version released shortly after I bought this one) Cons: One fan header is "dead." The fan runs full speed all of the time because the Board does not detect it on the BIOS. Other Thoughts: Cons are minor when considering the actual logical aspects of the board. If you are looking for a cheap motherboard, this is the way to go. However, the Z97 series is out now as a newer version. Did you find this review helpful? |
Just don't even bother.Pros: Well, I guess it looks like a motherboard. Cons: Here's the rundown: I decided that, after months of deliberation, I would finally build my first computer. I came to Newegg for everything; 0 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Poor quality controlPros: My daughter received this board as a gift with other parts. Cons: Poor Quality Control Other Thoughts: Replaced with a Gigabyte Z97 board , from newegg works 2 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Not getting another onePros: Decently priced for a Asus board, nothing fancy but not lacking either. Had plenty of USB 3.0 for me, as well as a good variety of display source options. Supported a good amount of fans as well. Overall well built and sturdy. Were it not for the problems I had, I would have no problem purchasing another one since I dont need all the fancy bells and whistles the pro and up offer. Cons: Easy one is color. Sure black and red is everywhere, but I didnt care for the black/gold/yellow theme here. The main issue with the board that presented itself was the random failure to post, showing random sources for the problems. By that I mean, it would fail to post, and the CPU led light on the board would come on. It worried me, as it first happened about 3 months into the build. I checked the cpu for positioning, and then the socket for bent pins. To this day, I have checked them each time this problem comes up, and everything is fine. Then it decides after a power-down, that nothing is wrong, and posts just fine. Ok then. Then it would do the same, but this time shine the DRAM led. Like the last time, i took to the net to see what other people that had this board were experiencing. Same exact problems for no apparent reason. Only a few found the issue, which was either faulty cpu (not in my case), bend pins (again, not applying to me), or if the DRAM led came up, the DIMM slots could somehow be damaged, or the ram itself. I checked my ram slots, nothing there. Checked the ram itself, again, nothing wrong (verified with a second pc I had built). So after I put everything back to how it was while it DID work, it decides once again, nothing is wrong. Fast forward a few months, this time both leds are on, alternating. Clear cmos, hit the memok! button, and anything else I saw online that should remedy the problem, to no avail. I have checked everything connected to the motherboard on a second build, and only the motherboard fails. If you google Asus Z87-A, you can find MANY posts about similar problems, without finding a solution. 2 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
purchase at your own riskPros: GUI BIOS interface Cons: Board purchased in February 2014. Other Thoughts: The last time I spoke with support and mentioned these issues the following troubleshooting steps were suggested; use a mechanical drive and install Windows and see if OC issue is resolved. Explanation for this was that there could be a driver that did not install properly the first time. As for resolving the RAM issue, flash bios to older version. Needless to say, both steps did not work to resolve any issues. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
ASUS againPros: Affordable solution Cons: Too many really similar models Other Thoughts: My ASUS P5N-D finally died after years of abuse (CGI rendering, and gaming). Always had a great experience from ASUS, so when the time came, I got another. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Died after 10 monthsPros: The board worked fine until it died with no warning. I got it on a Black Friday deal and it was a good price. Cons: Despite the bad reviews, I purchased this board last year on Black Friday. It worked really well until approximately 10 months later when it no longer would power on. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Skyzoo & !llmind - Barrel Brothers
Artist: Skyzoo & !llmind
Featuring: Torae
Producer: !llmind
Album: Live From the Tape Deck
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 10 votes )
On Barrel Brothers, a cut off 2007's Big Doe Rehab, Wu-Tang heavyweight Ghostface hooked up with Beanie Sigel and Styles P. to craft a hard-hitting street banger for the ages. Three years later, beatsmith !llmind and B.K. phenom Skyzoo have stepped into the Booth with Barrel Brothers, a cut which is… well, pretty much unrelated, aside from the title and the fact that it features dope Northeastern rappers coming together over gritty, retro-informed production. But hey, what more could a hardcore head ask for? This standout album inclusion finds !ll serving up a stark instrumental with a dash of sampled soul as 'zoo drops bars so packed with allusions and double-meanings that, even if I could pick a favorite line, I'd be hard-pressed to pin it down in quotes. Coney Island representative Torae bobs and weaves right along with him, peppering the beat with a more digestible but equally stimulating brand of lyrical fire. Barrel Brothers can be heard on Skyzoo and !llmind's Live From the Tapedeck LP, set to drop October 5. In the meantime, keep it locked for the collaborators' Booth-exclusive "In the Mix" interview, set to hit our front page soon!

Date: October 2011
Creator: Bayliss, Kate & Tukai, Rehema
Description: This report presents findings from a review of the service activities of informal private water vendors in Dar es Salaam.

Would Wyeast London ESB 1968 yeast be ok to use with this?
Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water. W. C. Fields
how could I import this recipe into beersmith...or a beersmith file avail?
Spend 5 minutes putting the ingredients into the software?
What temp is best to ferment this at? I used white labs English ale yeast. White labs says between 65 and 68 for wlp-002. Better to be on low end or high end?
Yuri, tried today after adding the spice and racking, and it is exactly as advertised. I soaked the spice in about 1/4 C vodka.
Awesome. Glad you like it!
Where should the OG be on this beer? I brewed a batch today and it came out at 1.060. Is this a little high? Might have gone a little over on the DME
1.050 - 1.060 is about right. Don't shoot for anything higher without increasing the crystal malt.

If the RL community is bad, how much better can an online community be?
If the RL community is bad, how much better can an online community be?
No calling people names isn't holding them accountable. Saying they are this and that isn't holding them accountable. Doing something is completely different. I should put what I said with a different word since it would make more sense. To beat the problem, become the problem.
Yes and No.
Seriously, if you take WoW seriously, then you need to re-evaluate your life.
IRL im a jokester and a prankster, people do get mad when they take life too seriously.
I do like to troll, because the same people, like in real life, get so angry. Thats what makes me laugh. If you stopped living life soo seriously, you'd see how much fun it actually is.
Competition, not just in gaming, there's always gonna be trolling and "elitests". There's always gonna be the "Im better than you" attitude. You see it everyday in sports, TV, work, certain type of neighborhoods(rich vs poor).
Back to WoW, what i dont understand is....Those of you complaining, who hate trolls and elitests so much, Why not just /ignore and you never EVER have to see what they have to say. Why? Because you like it, because you like to argue and try to change people to see your point. NEWSFLASH, they wont EVER see your point. This is what makes people different from one another.
ALSO, if youre mad at the world IRL. Why play WoW, when its the same world youre trying to get away from? Common sense runs thin, in life these days.
Heard they sell it on EBAY along with Raid Awareness.
The thing is, most people that get defensive or act harshly when given "advice" have probably been verbally berated and abused so much they think you are coming off as being a jerk, also you may want to look how you word you advice and make sure it may not be misconstrued as hateful instead of helpful.
---------- Post added 2013-02-22 at 02:27 AM ----------
There is a difference between joking and telling someone to go commit suicide or using racist or homophobic remarks, and if that is your idea of being funny you need to re-evaluate YOUR life not us.
Thats not trolling. Learn the definition before giving advice. No where in my post i mention i did any of those thing.
Here's the funny thing, yesterday i was trolling in trade, and someone told me "He wishes i was dead IRL". And he wasnt the person i was trolling. I never even heard of the guy/girl before. Just out of the blue. And he meant it. I lol'ed IRL. I affected this person soo bad without directly talking to him and he had so much anger towards me. And you telling me i should re-evaluate MY life? LOL
And if you think for one second, NO ONE makes racists or homophobic remarks, even yourself. Then your delusional. Everyone does it, idc what anyone says. Maybe not towards someone you dont know, but im sure its between your own circle of friends/family, that those types of things are mentioned.
There are 2 things wrong with this.
1. the person who said (regardless if he means it or not) that he wished you dead.
It is ofcourse pretty much stupid to say something like this and shows a lack of respect or lack of values.
2. you obviously weren't funny. You weren't funny in such a way or so immature, that even people who you didn't even talked to thought you were a douchebag.
That makes your def. a part of todays problems.
So while you think trolling is a good way to participate in a game - there are most likely not a lot of people who are of the same opinion.
Without trying to insult you, can I assume you are below 21? Don't even answer that because I am not actually interested. The thing is, by reading your comments you come off to me as such. And as such I would as a player most likely avoid you (if you behaved that way). I wouldn't respond to you ingame, but you'll def. end up on my ignore list. My guess also is that you are to be found a lot in /trade right? It is your playing field so to speak outside of normal gaming activities.
I haven't been in trade (apart from rare occasion) since the end of Vanilla. Just to avoid people who are immature and who want to provoke a reaction by thinking they are funny.
Now I am not saying I have this issue with you here on these boards. Most def. not. I like a good discussion and different points of view. I am just hoping that you might understand why I am concluding this.
If I am wrong, hey I am wrong. Lesson learned and we go onwards with our merry lives right?
Just some extra info before anyone else thinks I am way too serious.
I am known in my guild and to some people outside it, as Mr Penisman. Yes I said it and you're welcome to join in on that. I don't care. I just wanted to confess this so I don't come off as such overly serious guy. But with my humour I don't hurt or troll people. Other people can join in on the fun and we all have a laugh about it.
You can't really ignore a person who is screwing up a dungeon run on purpose. Kick them out....oh but wait they have a timer so I can't. Leave the group.....if I was a tank sure, I can find a group within seconds. As a dps, I would have to wait all that time again. Dealing with those kind of trolls suck if you don't have a ton of time to play. You talk about the game is suppose to be fun right, well that troll who wipes groups makes the game no fun. If you're idea of fun is to set in trade chat and troll, yea, you should re-evaluate your life. The VERY fact you pissed someone off to say they wanted you to die means you offended someone greatly. You affected that person IRL, who might be dealing with issues of their own. They try to get away from all that just to see someone offending them, even if it wasn't directly towards them. You don't know who you really affect with your trolling. Obviously that guy who wanted you dead has some issues, but that goes to show what trolling can do to others.
You sir, are entitled to your opinions. I'm not gonna jump down your throat for it. As i said in my post, previous to the one you responded to, i dont take life seriously.
With that said, i dont care what people say or think of me. I'm not here nor there, to prove my worth, to anyone. Especially on WoW, its a video game.
Secondly, my trolling has truth to it, i dont troll and make stuff up. I'm sure people get mad. Alot of people get mad at the truth.
For example, my troll that day was how the server sucks, and most players suck, on my realm(alliance side). Its no secret, raiding guilds have left server, because there is no abundance of talent to fill needed roles. Is that my fault? Not at all. I took the time over the years and learned and continue learning about my class/specs.
So, yes i may come across as a douchebag or elitest. But the only ones responding are the ones that are bad players. Never has a anyone, from a progressing raiding guild, went against what i was saying. Why? Because its the truth.
Now i'm getting off topic, so i'll stop. Just thought i'd let you know exactly what was going on, because you made an assumption not knowing what it actually was.
As far as the age thing, wrong again, i'm much older than that.
And yes im in trade alot, what else is there to do, other then wait for queues to pop on my non raiding days? I'm exalted with every faction, i dont to dailies, i dont care to level anymore alts(because leveling is brutal in MoP), i dont PVP. There's nothing. Only useful gear i can get is from actually raiding. Honestly just waiting for the some new stuff, like 5.2.
Lastly, good for you that you have a sense of humor. There's also all types of humor. Based on your description, youre like a Bill Cosby and i'm more of a Richard Pryor. People get hurt, when they allow themselves to get hurt, just an FYI.
---------- Post added 2013-02-22 at 03:11 AM ----------
So, thats my problem they have real life issues? If you read the ALSO part, you pretty much confirmed what i said. But the question is why put yourself in that environment? Im pretty sure everyone who has played this game 6 months and more, knows the community is bad.
Here's my answer to that question, as my OWN opinion, People with those issues come on to take their frustrations out on the trolls in trade. Its like the circle of life.
Get mad IRL, come on WOW, there's always one troll, then let them have it. Frustrations gone. THIS is why those same people never put trolls on ignore. If there was no trolls, then they nerd rage in LFRetards or LFGumps, and life is better. Again, IMO.
Last edited by Volbian; 2013-02-22 at 09:30 AM.
Actually knowing now what you said in trade doesn't come off to me as "trolling". You just said something that was very obvious and true. If people react to that in a way that they are still def. in denial... that's their problem.
Looking at your post right now, you don't come off to me as 21 or below
Thanks for the clarification.
This is partly the reason I quit cause big part of the community feels very unfriendly. I agree due to changes that made certain things easier, made ppl care less and less and rather fend for themselves rather then working with new ppl, making friends and caring more about gear then anything else. Isn't what the game is all about? Working together to overcome bosses and sharing the loot.
And yes we should.
I never said YOU did that, I am saying that is the crap that makes the community bad, what I DID say was if you find it funny then you need to re-evalute your life, I tend to ignore trade trolls because by definition I really can't figure out his is dumber them or the people who fall for it because most trolls (again not saying you) tend to make themselves look stupid in the process of making others look stupid.
It might be just me or is this especially found on pvp servers??

In any multiplayer game that is popular enough, most players are going to be children/teens and that leads to mostly childish behavior online. They also "represent" the "scene" this way because they're the majority after all, so if you read something in forums or whereever you'll most likely see a lot of childish posts.
It's not dramatic, and it doesn't mean that there are only *those* people playing, it just means that whenever you read something from those communities you have to consider this fact, and don't take anything seriously (there might also be a lot of trolls or players letting off steam in a highly subjective fashion) unless you find really solid or insightful posts. The "anonymity" also makes sure that you can't be sure that what you're reading is written by an 8 year old or a 50 year old or a 20 year old with the IQ of a goldfish. It's all just text, and you have to be smart about whether or not each post is constructive/truthful or not.
And furthermore, in a game like WoW that changes all the time there are going to be lots of nostalgic fanboys that hate every change in the game just because they had more fun when it was still new and shiny for them.

I find everything funny because i take nothing serious, especially in a video game. My life has been re-evaluated and my conclusion is....Dont take life seriously.
My life has been all about stress, worrying about this and that. I'm done with that. Life is too short, especially at my age, to give a shit anymore. So even when i do troll, no matter how i look or sound to people, it still doesnt matter what they think or feel towards me.
The community will never change, once they accept that, people would be less angry. Blizz catered to a new geneartion of players, and these kids tend not to have any respect for anyone. Thats how society is now. Im sure you watch TV. You see it on the news everyday or even read about it in the paper. Goes the same way for adults.
You hear about the guy who punched a 15mnth old in the face on the plane? I found that amusing, not for the kid, but for the simple fact this adult got so annoyed by a child that he punched him IN THE FACE, like he was in a bar fight with someone his own age.
This. But! We didn't have that in TBC, did we? I remember TBC to be not as hard as everyone believes. It just required for an individual to get a grip on their game and put in some effort.
I remember the server community back then. If someone was bad at playing, you'd help him out. That's what people did for me and that's what I did for other people. I remember when, if someone was a troll, a ninja looter or something along those lines, the entire server would know it in a heartbeat.
I also remember when I finished my paladin t5 set all the whispers saying "Congratulations!" when I walked through Shattrath. I remember, too, how awesome it felt when I got some "special" item such as Stormherald or got exalted with Netherwing.
But today? You don't have that today anymore. Everyone gets the same gear, everyone gets the same Exalted rep, everyone gets the same mounts...
While I do not know what do think of that past sentence, I do have a very good feeling that removing or changing LFR and LFG tools would make for a better community. Why? Because let's say we change LFG to be only server wide that would make you much less anonymous that if it were cross server. Therefore, if you did something bad, and I'm not talking about not knowing what which boss does or something, the rest of the server would know it pretty fast. That would force people to act better. There would be no tanks going afk, there would be less people crying because you died on that ability which was totally avoidable, even thought that was legitimately hard...
All in all, I am not currently playing the atrocity this game has become. I got bored of the same routine every day. I still follow some news and I'm hoping things to change. But I don't see that happening any time soon....
I would also like to add that this is an MMO... And for an MMO there's not much livelyhood in the world. My thoughts were to change that by doing something along the lines that new crafting recipes would require old world materials. So let's say you want to make a sword... Yeah, sure, you'll need 20 of the hard-to-get current ore/bars, some Iron Bars and well, that handle is decorated by gold so we'll throw in a gold bar, too!
I think that would make for a better, lively world.
