It blows my mind just a little bit when it runs out people really dislike speculating about games, but I also sort of get it. For some people, speculation is an act of prediction, and if you’re consistently wrong it’s disheartening. It’s a bit of a different ball game when you look at speculation more as a guessing game when you know you’re as likely to be wrong as right, rather than just trying to forecast the things you want to see in the game.
Obviously, though, I love speculating. I enjoy looking at evidence and making a reasonable prediction, then refining it over time; heck, sometimes you wind up with speculation being precisely what winds up happening after all. (Like when I speculated that making allied race Death Knights would be a pre-order bonus in World of Warcraft ahead of the next expansion.) If you’re wrong? Well, no big issue; that happens.
But what about you, dear readers? Do you like speculating about your preferred MMOs, or would you rather just see what happens when it happens?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
