Nah its not a matter of not having a life, it's more of budgeting your time correctly
Setting certain times aside for free time aka cRPG
I'm sure theres many active players including myself who do engage in social activities such as(click to show/hide)

This is exactly the bad point of view most of the players here have...you ARE NOT BEING PUNISHED, on the contrary, the guys that spent ALL THEIR TIME ON ONE CHAR gets rewarded...quite a difference we have, hm?
If you are bored by your char and you play alt, why should your alt get any benefits? Why is it that if i spent 300hours on SINGLE char i should not have any advantage? I call bullshit.
On the other hand, i would like to be able to send money to my alts, that is the only problem which i am facing on them.
And also: if you think heirlooms make you better player, i pity you, i mean, i am getting decent K/D and have fun on my alt which has not a single loom, it is perfectly doable and i am fine with the fact he is like that. If i wanted him to have looms, he would be my main, period.
Edit: if you want to add this possibility, just give back the XP bonuses from before, so we, the "lame grinders on one char" are not punished and can try new specs as well, sounds fair, doesnt it? /sarcasm off
I'm confused is this who has wasted the most chunk of their life on this game?
There's already a post about that and if you are under 1000 you are out of your league
i accidently deleted my main because of this
Lol dont know why you're making a big deal out of teenage gamers. Teenage console players prob outnumber teenage computer gamers by 10 to 1.
Steam is the best non-gaming addon to date, if you dont recognize that, maybe you should hop in your Delorean and go back to the 80's. The reasons you listed are complete non-issues. Sounds like you've done little to no gaming thru Steam. You sound just as bad as the ignorant annoying children you so hate gaming with.
Steam helps build communities not destroy them.

What's not to like about steam?
Ok:
1) Steam has had, and still has a memory leak issue which comes with one update, fixed with the next, back for the next one and so on
2) Steam is required for some games to run, or update. If you have issues installing or patching games without steam doing it for you then you're just pretty fail at using a computer
3) Steam doesn't make you a hardcore gamer, it's a mainstream gamer product. That's a silly thing to try and say.
4) Steam is one more program running in the background, which while not an issue overall for any decent rig, is still lame to have to deal with.
5) Hyroshi, most games which "die" are because most mainstream gamers are FOTM jump-ship gamers. Off to the next shiny thing that catches their eye. I'll take the small tight knit community anyday. For the record there's still a community that plays - Quakelive, Planetside, UO, AC, etc etc. More players doesn't necessarily = better, and in fact usually means it's worse because the majority of those players are mainstream kids and halo-tard frat boys instead of die hard old gamers. Yup, I'm elitist and not very friendly. I miss the days of gamers being a small sub-culture instead of being infected by thousands of mainstream plebs.
6) Mainstreaming of games decreases their quality. Look at any MMO to show you what catering to large population of mainstreamers does to a game: It makes it shit.
Steam sale = Increase in teenage players, Increase in ranged players (somehow I feel they are related), Increase in trolling on the servers, Increase in whine, Loss of the tightnit community feeling, Loss of alot of the laughs that went along with playing the mod, Increase in "OMGSRSBZNSGRINDING" crap.
Just my view of it though. I hate steam, always have.
mh shit. the link is down. but the ifgures said player numbers where more or less steady ove the last months
