Blizzard tries to nerf catassery

[Mesozoic]

Rest State is only a problem if you stubbornly insist on the most boring possible playstyle for a single character in the face of far better alternatives.

I am not sure that I would say that an evening spent crawling a great dungeon with a tight group is more boring than an evening of solo/disposable group "collect 30 foozle paws" quests.

But by all accounts that great dungeon crawling will most likely come during the course of a quest.  Theres a guy posting at that other site whose Gnome Rogue is level 15, he's spent plenty of time in dungeons, and he says he's quested all the way.

This is exactly the tendency I'm talking about. You've assumed that quests are not compatible with an enjoyable game, and Blizzard is trying to defeat this mindset.

As for friends who want to play with eachother..? they will find a way to do it or they arent really friends.. Friendship is sooo much bigger than some lousy game mechanics.

Yep- they will find another game to play, and kiss your restrictive catass game goodbye.
