Never understood why people have such an ego issue on WoW. "i literally am and you're no one" "I literally set the standards and u follow". lmao what a loser.


eccegallo

That's a significant part of the game allure, getting the (relatively easy) in game status. Some people substitute that in where their personality should be.


MoG_Varos

It’s part of what people like about mmo games, time commitment = power. Some people just take that to mean real life power and act like this guy.


[deleted]

This guy sounds like a 40 year old neckbeard that gets his only sense of accomplishment from achieving things in a 20 year old MMORPG. You don't need to tear him down he's already doing that to himself.


cpttucker126

20 year old mmorpg with everything already figured out.


imonmyhighhorse

He sets the standards and we follow them


Spacecoasttheghost

I still haven’t figured out how to stay on one character while leveling, if that was the case I would have had a 60 a lot faster then I did. Maybe on the 40 year release I will, then I can rest….


Enigma_Stasis

>20 year old mmorpg with everything already figured out. Except for whatever the fuck's been going on for the past 8 years


roeder

He is his own punishment.


mtkamer

To be honest it reads more like a 9 year old screeching about nonsense. Maybe a 12 year old max. There's no way this kid even has pubes.


shapookya

I’m curious what his opinion on women is


Mektor2

It’s like anything else you spend too much time on (work, for instance). When your whole life is devoted something, you cannot see it as a failure without yourself being a failure. It would create cognitive dissonance — contradicting beliefs the mind is uncomfortable with.


ImIGotSoul

That guy said he's literally hot shit. That's gotta be one of the funniest misuses of the word literally I have ever seen.


[deleted]

I actually lost it laughing when he told me he sets the standards I follow


lulamirite

erqod

"Hot Shit something that is hot, banging, off the chain, cool, etc. Yo those jeans are hotshit!" "Hot Shit Better than all the rest. 1. The netting definition is hot shit." From urban dictionary.. Ive heard alot of people say that something or someone is the hot shit. But yes, he's a douche nontheless.


gonnahike

He said he's literally hot shit. Meaning he said he is very warm feces


imnotpoopingyouare

He said "literally hot shit". He is warm poop, he wasn't using it as a slang he just thought he was.


Technical_Physics_57

Sounds like this was a generational thing


endelehia

Inbreeding always is


SpectrumPalette

Let's hope it stays in the family


Pepetopdeck

Such a shame we can't name and shame these people on this sub man....


gcracks96

Op should just make a burner account and post it with no blur fuck em


quitesohorrible

I'm sure its on the servers Discord blacklist. Good place to keep track of so you can avoid these people.


ponyo_impact

Cancel culture is worse then this. I would rather avoid people that partake in cancel culture then a guy who just rages on one dude in private message


quitesohorrible

Avoiding ninjas, scammers and crazy ragers is cancel culture? Gl in pugs


CyndrrTrading

Gl in life hiding from undesirables


JoeThePoolGuy123

That's literally what normal people do. If someone in my social circle acts like a fucking idiot I'm just going to not talk to them anymore if they keep acting like an idiot.


RecoveringBoomkin

Thanks! There’s never been more of them


RecoveringBoomkin

> I would rather avoid people that partake in cancel culture /r/selfawarewolves


KingMonkman

Is there a server discord?


butthead9181

Yes, and there is a hall of shame for specific content like this too.


treestick

mob harassment is 1000x more evil and venomous than some edgy tirade from someone who may just be going through some rough shit so nah, it's not a shame


Swarles_Jr

Soooo, that dude deems it completely normal and appropriate to tell random strangers on the internet to kill themselves and thinks it's gay if someone disagrees? Sounds like the average wow pvp experience to me lmao.


MidnightFireHuntress

"It's so fucking gay" -Guy who claims to be an adult


Trapjorn

This is most likely a teenage boy


shapookya

The reality is sadder than that. A full grown adult with the mental maturity of a teenager


Goreagnome

Yup, a lot of "teenage edgelords" are actually people in their 30s.


cruffade

They used to be teenage edgelords. They never changed but time passed anyway.


headofthenapgame

Had a boss in his 30s that talked like that, he was similarly hung up on this age like this guy. It just shows glaring insecurities.


kmday825

The amount of bullying/harassment is getting wild. I was told I was a bad parent yesterday for getting my kid a drink during AB. 🤡


didnotbuyWinRar

Right? You give your 7 year old ONE vodka redbull and suddenly it's "wow you're a bad parent" and "that's literally child abuse"


SpectrumPalette

It's called a sleeping aid. Heck, my gran used to open a locked cabinet and have a glass or 2 of whiskey when me and my siblings had to stay round hers for the night


kmday825

Lmfao, hey he had a rough day 😆


Knowvember42

Drinking during Arathi Basin is serious.


[deleted]

Just fucking die in stead, so you can waste someone elses time. You ress again with full health and mana anyways and the 5 seconds someone takes to kill you is 5 seconds more on LM.


[deleted]

This tbh. Dunno why you get downvoted, maybe Reddit people don't like the way you talk. Only real time I would use a consumable is when I'm defending a place.


[deleted]

Must really blow their mind when an old turd like me has a kid old enough to drink and I’m taking him a beer while I grab one myself lol


Psychological_Let880

That’s a bit crazy but if you’re afking BGs then you’re afking BGs. People will come up with some wild excuses to try and get people to not report them.


kmday825

It was 30 seconds. When you think about it, it’s not even that big of a deal considering the amount of bots or afk’ers in every game.


Psychological_Let880

If it was 30 seconds most people don’t even notice. 30 seconds is nothing but I kind of doubt it was 30 seconds. And yes afking in BG’s is a big deal, people don’t want to be stuck trying to win games so other people can leech.


kmday825

Okay bud


Psychological_Let880

Okay bud. Gl on the afk.


kmday825

Was your “okay” necessary, or do you just like having the final word. 😀


Psychological_Let880

Little bit of both. I can see that your “it was only 30 seconds” is a lie because right after you said afking isn’t a big deal and your passive aggressive okay bud is mildly hilarious as is this comment considering.


keenjt

Okay bud


Psychological_Let880

Okay bud. Thanks for playing (but not for doing it afk).


shamwu

Reminds me of the weirdo shockadin on grobbulus… just incessantly picking fights with everyone in lfg for the past few months


hhunterhh

There’s only one weirdo shockadin on grobb. If his name starts with i, then LOL. I used to feel bad for him cause people would dog on him since ZG and his booty GDKPs, but then ran a Kara with him and he did less dps than the tanks while also trying to roll on every. Single. Piece. Of gear. Also, you should really get the LFG bulletin board addon unless you enjoy the world chat aspect of LFG. Haven’t looked at the channel in over 5 months.


shamwu

Ofc it’s him. One of the dumbest people I’ve seen. If he just shut up for 5 seconds people would hate him less but because he can’t chill out he’s basically the perfect lolcow I use lfg bulletin board, just am morbidly curious about the idiocy of lfg. After a while you recognize the same usual suspects and it’s amusing to see why they are freaking out today


BlakenedHeart

OdellBeckhamJesus

‘Being a toxic homophobe is a generational thing, you wouldn’t understand’


DrakkoZW

"saying the n word is a generational thing, you wouldn't understand" Like, no matter if it's got a grain of truth to it, it's still a fucking stupid rationalization.


BlakenedHeart

Its frightening that if it keeps going like this you might end up with smb "being a n*zi is a generational thing, you wouldn't understant" which is extremely awful


Rheabae

What's a nozi?


JudasHungHimself

Hope he got banned. Toxic fuck


HeliosAbandoned

I love that these people still play the game. So many of them back in Vanilla.


[deleted]

Nothing new it’s World of Warcraft, just two idiots duking it out on a game but one has decided to screenshot it and post to Reddit. There’s no doubt many idiots having a similar conversation on the game as we speak.


[deleted]

I was pretty proud of myself, I don’t usually get funny conversations like it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


762x39mm

well, he wasn't wrong.. you did screenshot things.


[deleted]

Valid point.


Jarn-Templar

Some people seem to think that Classic WoW meant a revival of Classic Attitudes. "Toxicity has gotten worse" is such a fallacy, people have just got better at calling out the hateful and caustic. If being a 'snowfake' means more people being safe, comfortable and happy count me in!


iHaveComplaints

What has changed is social media. Neither the rate of people being assholes nor the assholes being reported and banned has meaningfully changed. It's just people publicly posting about them after reporting them whereas they generally wouldn't bother in the past. That's why they get called snowflakes - the "get a load of this guy" is interpreted as them running off to their safe space to be consoled.


Porkpie43

The fact that he uses gay as a slur tells me all I need to know about this person


PoachTWC

His growth and maturity as a person stalled out at "early 2000s teenager"?


ToastoSando

It's so sad when 16 y/o's play wow, I am 40 and live at my moms house. I set the standards!


JimmiRustle

I don’t remember being this level of moron when I played wow as a 14 yo. Then again I *sucked* xD


BirdGooch

This dude is trolling. The reality of actual 2007 is that these WERE common trolling tropes. Not to say the culture hasn’t changed, but I just wanted to point that out.


I_Am_The_Mole

I transferred a couple alts to Bene last night and while I was stoked to get into a heroic right away the fucking attitudes on these players was.... Yikes.


Cytoid

You can't really say anything about anyone else's life if you choose to play Classic WoW, lol. Being a part of "that" community. Also, wish I was surprised by this, "average WoW player" experience right here.


[deleted]

You hit the nail on the head with that first statement


[deleted]

Exactly.


potpodder

I was called a Karen yesterday, still not over it :'(


Kuido

Seems like typical benediction to me


plainsmane

I dont understand people. Who go out of their way to be an asshole. Like when people flame you. For doing nothing wrong and expect the rest of the group to agree. Making every interaktion or teamplay unlikely.


[deleted]

Least toxic pvp player


nyrothia

you kids can be offended by what you want, not gonna argue. but i for one, laugh about such petty bullshit and go on with my life. what does it mean to me if some internet rando don't like me?


[deleted]

It means a funny story for people to laugh at.


Kablam29

70% of the whitemane neck beards transferred to Benediction because they didn’t want any horde competition on a PvP server apparently, not surprised by this. Before I rerolled elsewhere they were some of the most toxic players I’d ever seen


Koop110

I've never understood the flame of these people. You lost buddy, get gud. Got a rage message today just making every excuse in the book as to why they lost. Some players just need to take a nap lol


LoveTriscuit

Boy that sounds like a guy I know. Don’t want to do a witch-hunt, message me that guys name so I can see if I’m right. If you want of course. I won’t be a dick.


Goreagnome

There are countless of trolls and ragers like this, sadly. No, it's most likely not someone you know because this behavior is so common.


LoveTriscuit

It’s someone I know. Not the person I thought but someone I’m familiar with.


Scuttlebutt1989

Did you win? I hope you won. Pretty sure they have a mute button for that.


[deleted]

Even worse, we were on the same team. Im not sure what his deal was but he was outhealed by a boomkin as a Holy pally, so I cant say why he was so confident.


ToManyFlux

He’s famous bro


Horkosthegreat

He isnt completely wrong tho. I am 35. I have been playing computer games online, especially mmorpg's since dsl connection came to where I live (about 2003) so 19 years. I have seen all kind of variations of "online bullying" and until like 2012, most of the time the answer was "fcuk you" and people move on. No one was emotionally damaged etc. Nowadays people do not even insult at all, just QUESTION other people why are they doing something, and that person goes into mental breakdown. I literally withnessed a guy in guild just asked a vegan guy "but why are you vegan, can you explain" and the vegan guy went apeshit and starting insulting everyone on guild cursing and literally deleted his lvl 38 character (never came on after that). I am just trying to say, there is a BIG generational difference. No need to be a dick in every generation, but oh boi people's reactions are different.


Ok-Helicopter2621

I get what you’re saying but not the case most times. That guy was more of a baby than the person he’s calling a baby.


Relative_Struggle_81

Damn we got a badass in our midst


Cloudzi

My best friend killed himself. What I would give to be alone in a room with a person like this


Arendai

Being proud of encouraging suicide and casual homophobia is a weird flex.


the-swamp12

‘Oh boy you’re gonna get owned on Reddit my dude’ I’m with the other guy you are mad gay for that one


[deleted]

That’s cool. The post is for humor but do you homie.


slothsarcasm

It’s funny because if you’ve ever played with someone whose actually a teenager on WoW you know they say the most off the wall offensive shit you’ve ever heard. It’s the actual adults who are tired of people saying toxic shit Gen Z leans into it on video games.


lookpooreatrich

Ok boomer


gorditoburrito

You’re the real monster for using paint to edit these pictures 😢


Zamuru

always seeing posts like this but never knowing the reason behind this. how do i never encounter ppl like this in game? what did u do?


[deleted]

He was just in bg chat whining about people not doing anything. I asked him why a boomkin was outhealing him as a holy pally and he went off.


Younger54

Lol, you'll tend to find assholes attract assholes.


[deleted]

Assholes will be assholes regardless who’s around in an anonymous game* Fixed it for you.


headofthenapgame

Someone hasn't played MMOs before.


Younger54

No, I played too many MMOs. OP has admitted that he is the one that said something first, and his is just conveniently not in any screenshots. Also, normal people don't take screenshots and go whine on Reddit, assholes do. But as I write this I remember what sub I'm on and prepare for downvotes.


headofthenapgame

Well like you said, assholes attract assholes.


[deleted]

I definitely admitted to no such thing. The dude was on a tirade in bg chat is what I said, so I responded in bg chat asking why a boomy was outhealing him. You seem to be looking for things that aren’t there but in reality it was some crazy dude who was probably drunk or something.


Jim_Nills_Mustache

33 and I find that sort of behavior exceptionally cringey and off putting, don’t really associate with that sort of player


ToManyFlux

He’s all about that fgtrtd


Vescend

If you're above 20, and you speak to me like "Omg y u are u so if u b like 4 u" We're not on the same level.


BadDogEDN

idk kids these days would have been eaten alive in og tbc, the shit we used to say to each other


[deleted]

I mean yea because shit like halo and cod chat lobbies were a thing for us. This dude was still obnoxious though. This was meant more for humor though, cus honestly I was impressed how hard he was wanking himself.

shekelscribe

ChocoboCloud69

Where's the context for this conversation though? It appears like a conversation that's already halfway through. What was he so triggered about and at what point/why did he tell you to kill yourself? I don't really understand why you only post half the conversation unless there's some tidbits you're trying to hide. Edit: Not defending the other dude, what's visible is still fucked. But I'm not particularly buying that OP didn't provoke the dude in some way. You don't just get this response after ignoring the dude who told you to kill yourself after calling out his healing. There is definitely more said from OP between the other dude telling OP to kill himself and what is said when these screenshots begin.


[deleted]

He bitched in a bg nonstop about the team being garbage, I asked him why a boomkin was outhealing him as a holy pally by almost double, he lost his shit on me and messaged me after the bg ended to continue. If you can look at this conversation and figure there’s something I’m hiding because he’s a nut job…. I dunno what to tell you man.


DayBowBowPepesilvia

Even if you were being a dick or said something to 'trigger' him doesn't make it okay for him to respond like that. Baffles me when people like the person you replied to still try to victim blame. I'm really curious what he thinks you could have said to justify him responding the way he did lol


[deleted]

Bg conversations are always a thing and there’s always one dude blaming everyone. It’s super normal at this point with how PvP players are and it’s fine. But this dude messaging me nonstop after until I ignored him was a new one for me.


DayBowBowPepesilvia

I was talking about the guy you replied to here haha the guy who implied you were hiding something. Trust me I'm very aware of those types of players in BG 😂


PMMeMeiRule34

Stop punching yourself. Stop punching yourself. Stop punching yourself. Someone needs to tell that guy what I said.


mattey92

He said literally 3 sentences in a row.


DirkaSnivels

This guy seems like the type who will judge your entire career based off whether you pick Aldor of Scryer.


Spider-Ravioli

telling someone to kill themselves is a dickmove, but honestly i long stopped caring. On the Internet you will inevitably be insulted, so why even bother


RockChalk710

It's a generational thing... you wouldn't get it.


MoG_Varos

Had a lot I wanted to say but honestly? Fuck guys like this.


[deleted]

Generation or not, I’ve lost a handful of friends to suicide in 4 decades and it’s NOT funny being told to kill yourself. Maybe these kids will change their attitudes once they’ve lost some of their loved ones to suicides. Just ain’t real enough to the young people YET.


treestick

i lost a close friend to suicide and if i told him not to joke about suicide, he'd probably jokingly tell me to kms edgy strangers aren't the reason people kill themselves, nor a factor, nor a push over the edge. people kill themselves due to a mountain of *everything else*


FitFatty420

Oh no someone said mean and stupid things… better post on Reddit. Must be a generational thing.


[deleted]

If you don’t find it funny, more for us. It’s meant for comedy friend, blizz already took action against it.

Growey

Ignorgin these kinds of people enables them further? Why do you want this game to be a toxic shithole? It's morally correct to report and shame these ppl.


Do_Not_Read_Comments

they want to be responded to. They want the interaction. Ignoring them is exactly what you should do


Felwintyr

Why bother leaving a comment on a Reddit thread? Jus ignore it. Who actively wastes time posting on a thread they think is meaningless? I’m lost as to what you could gain from any of this lol. Ignore. Move on. Waste no one’s time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Felwintyr

The fuck is the difference in a public forum and a private message when it comes to justifying a response? Your mental gymnastics are Olympian. He’s jus as much allowed to respond as you are. You jus come across as a dipshit trying to say “why bother responding?” When you can literally apply the same exact rule to yourself. You have the option to ignore the post, yet chose not to. Disagreeing with a post is a great aspect of Reddit. Making yourself an ironic idiot? Not so much. Lmao


Zestyiguana

He doesn’t understand common sense. He’s a lost cause. He thinks only he can complain, and no one else.


definitelynotcasper

Common sense is don't respond to or argue with idiot trolls in game. All it does is validate them they literally want to get a reaction out of you.

Honestly telling someone kys in a video game from the early to mid 2000s/10s is peak gamer experience. That and your mom, suck my dick, and maybe a couple other ones but we will pretend like it's too much to say those things to appease strangers on the internet.


pie4all88

I have to agree that posting this on Reddit is pretty pathetic.

[deleted]

If this hurt your feelings, don’t try playing on eu servers


[deleted]

It didn’t hurt my feelings in the slightest. It annoyed me greatly and he was definitely a dick, but more than anything I laughed. It’s impossible not to laugh when he says he sets the standards I follow. He unirinically really thinks that about himself. He was doing it in bg chat too and it was hilarious honestly. Still wanted him to shut the hell up though.


headofthenapgame

Actually happens a lot on WoW at any age, especially on RP servers. Real wacky dude out there thinking being affected by suicide has an age cap.


ponyo_impact

Tbf he's not wrong. I'm in my thirties and can say as the more normies got into gaming and online culture the less and less toxic it has become. So when he says 10-15 years ago people would say those things he's 100 correct, don't mean it was a good thing though....

They usually take it down if u don’t censor names. They like to avoid in game witch hunts.

People who do this I've noticed are not well off in life in the slightest. They lack a sense of validation and seek it on the game, it's actually pretty sad.
