25,000 hour WoW player here. There is very little in my life that I have mourned as much as the fall of My Game. It was the only thing that kept me going through my terrible teenage years and into an empty adulthood, and seeing what it has become still hurts my soul. I haven't touched it since ~October 2018, at the launch of Battle For Azeroth. The expansion changed too much about how each class played from Legion, and for the first time in nearly 14 years I simply did not want to play WoW anymore.
More than anything else, this corruption is what fuels my hatred for gays, trannies, women, non-Whites, and everyone else involved in the Progressive political movement that brought this about. I want revenge and I will support whoever I need to in order to get it. All I wanted to do was play Warcraft, do my dumb grocery store job, and be left alone until I died. For them that was too much to ask, and now I seek their utter destruction and annihilation.
Good! Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.
Now use that spite to drive yourself to become the kind of person against whom they feel a seething hate.
Get in shape, give up porn and jerking off, become as self-reliant and self-sufficient as you are able, own guns and regularly train with them, go to church, have a family, get involved with local politics.
The comfort of the shire has been taken from you. Your new mission is to take that ring, trudge to Mordor despite any obstacles or setbacks, and make Sauron regret denying you your peace.
We all just wanted to play videogames, now we are soldiers in the culture war.
Never despair, you are stronger and more significant than you realize.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one getting major sith vibes from that post
Nigga I got 850 days played on just my main, get on my level.
But I agree with most of what you said. My class got spared the "changes" simply because Feral is basically too difficult for any of the blizz devs to play, so it literally plays exactly the same as it did back in Wrath. They just add or remove a buff or extra ability each expansion.
I've got free Blizzard games for life thanks to the D3 RMAH, and I've been playing DF recently to hang with the old lads and its absolutely making me more bigoted and hateful towards all the groups they are trying to "represent."
How to play furlol spec.
I might have had that time on my Mage added to my Priest if it weren't for how much Priest got jerked around each expansion! I changed in WoD since we had 2-3 consistent Priests on our raid roster, but our Mages kept disappearing after a month or two into the tier, so I volunteered to make it a new main.
I check through /wowg/ every few months, and the thread is a lot of doomsaying and furry spam now. There can't be much left of the playerbase that isn't "infected." Seeing the posts from fired Blizz trannies yesterday did tickle me a bit, though.
Watching your enemies' corpses floating down the river doesn't get old.
They added a little fox and humanoid dragons are playable races, of course the furry spam will be endless.
The playerbase is basically dead silent. If you don't join a guild or try to do a real raid you will almost never have to interact with anyone in any meaningful way and can avoid any bullshit.
But maybe I'm going soft because a random guy in LFG got me the Aeonaxx kill this week after 14 years of trying for it.
I know all about Aeonaxx. My camp lasted maybe 3 months of doing mostly nothing else but idling above the Quartzite Basin. 14 years is nuts, you have my congratulations after such a long hunt!
Blizzard were bad long before that when they were screwing about their playerbase on a consumer rights level.
"That. Fucking. Horse."
I played on and off since Vanilla but in BFA was the moment I realized I'm not going back to WoW.
Private servers can be a thing 🏴☠️
There are wow private servers that are way better than retail wow. Retail wow is starting to copy Ascension because of its popularity. Ascension is a custom classless private server where you get mystic enchants that you build around so melee fire mage with fire cleave can be done or moonkin hunter or frost mage healer or rogue tank or dark ranger and etc.
Oh and from what I can tell Ascension has free speech in chat so a bunch of based people are usually on. It has a slight learning curve at first.
There is are a bunch of different servers and more coming out too.
I played around with Turtlewow for a little bit a couple years ago and had a blast. I'll have to take a look at that one to see if it catches my interest. I'm always a fan of "build your own class" options. Thank you for the recommendation.
