Kid Sues WoW Becuase He Thinks It Takes Too Long To Level
88 replies, posted
[QUOTE=Musicfreak59;18565499]There's a guy named Erik Estavillo out there. He's your garden variety Internet tough guy, getting banned from PlayStation Network and hacking his Wii to play homebrew software. He's also made a habit of abusing the civil court system with ridiculous lawsuits. His latest target: World of Warcraft.
The complaint against Activision Blizzard accuses the company of "sneaky and deceitful practices" for making players level up before they can buy a mount. The slow pre-mounted movement supposedly extends subscription revenue by making it take longer to do things in the game. The lawsuit asks for $1 million and a court order to make Blizzard change WoW to be more to his liking.
Hilariously, Estavillo has subpoenaed Winona Ryder and Depeche Mode founder Martin Lee Gore to lend credence to his case. [b]The plaintiff shares an interest in J.D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye with Ryder[/b], and claims that she can speak to the feeling of alienation captured by the book and relate it somehow to World of Warcraft. Gore has "himself has been known to be sad, lonely, and alienated as can be seen in the songs he writes.”
Estavillo has previously filed suit against Sony over suppressing his First Amendment rights by banning him from PSN, Microsoft for the red ring of death, and Nintendo for a Wii update that broke his homebrew hack. None of the suits have resulted in a judgement in his favor to date.
Might we suggest Estivillo look into a middle school civics class to explain the purpose of the civil court system and the limitations of the Constitution instead of wasting everyone's time and money on silly court cases?

If wow made it too easy to level up then it wouldn't be much of an acomplishmnet to finally complete the game, wow would be populated with too many high level players who havn't been playing the game long enough to know how to play it properly.
It's also not that hard to play I reached level 60 in just 5 days worth of play time while playing only for a couple of hours or so every night.

You should consider finding another game to play
"for making players level up before they can buy a mount. The slow pre-mounted movement supposedly extends subscription revenue by making it take longer to do things in the game."
He actually has a point, but it's still not worth a lawsuit.

I can see your point, it would've been easier to bring up the issue in say, perhaps, a forum topic. But, as one user from Gamespot commented,
[quote]He's in our judicial system, trolling us.[/quote] :doh:
Kid vs Blizzards Army of Lawyers and unlimited funds.
I'm rooting for him.:v:
WoW's already too easy. I played it once, then realised it was shit and decided I should just troll it.
But this guy is a fucking moron, he's calling in [b]Winona Ryder and that guy from Depeche Mode?![/b]
Oh. My. God.
I'm sorry but, I have 2 level 80 characters that took me like 2 years to do.
If it was easy to level up, not nearly as many people would play it.
His parents should lock him up in his room forever.

So he could what, play WoW? That isn't an option to him! Takes too fucking long to level.

And a rabid wolf if possible.
[QUOTE=Xplodzion;18565624]He should go sue Eve Online instead, it can take over a month or even 2 to get a skill to level 5.[/QUOTE]He should sue every pen and paper role-playing game ever created!

Not Kingdom of Loathing! D:
He's got a point , [b]but he's a right bitch. [/b]
Considering they can tweak the levelling times so that to be decent you'd have to have paid x subscriptions.
[i]Sue everyone and see if one works[/i]
I see he is copying my technique to pick up chicks: Hit on everyone and see if one works.
average wow player
oh my fucking god are you kidding? I used to play and it was extremely easy to level..this kid is just fucking retarded.
Kill this kid will be my first priority.
Land of opportunities !

After tearing what few braincells I have left after playing it for over two years I would love to see this.
Either way is a win.
Woooooooooow
Shocker: Blizzard doesn't owe you shit. It's their video game. You choose to pay for it or not.
I find this ridiculously funny. I myself am a WoW player, and I can say from experience, only a retard with half of their brain missing would find leveling to 20 hard. With newer updates, you need to get to level 20 to get your first mount. That is about 3 days of questing. In WoW, that's extremely easy.
This person is an idiot for what he has brought to court, and should be banned from console and PC gaming, as well as bringing the subjects to court.
He has a very strong case.

I'm going to sue it next, for being a dumb game.
...the Hell?
Sounds like this guy is like a spinoff of Jack Thompson...

Actually i think levelling from 0 to 20 is the hardest, after that you get better spells and your mana and health last longer. the higher level you get the easier it gets but the longer it takes.
It's still a very easy game though the only time i ever die while levelling is if someone form the opposite faction 20 levels higher than me decides to fuck me up

That's why having an 80 with emblems is awesome. Gear that adds 10% EXP gain.
also, simple solution to dying; play a normal server, not PvP.
