Asmongolds one of us

said due to pedantry

Yeah, that shiz is toxic, my dude.

[Mhorti-grobbulus]

Why did he have to buy a boost? Doesn’t he already have a lvl 60?

[Hargus-grobbulus]

He needed a new video.

Do you really think he doesn’t have an army of viewers who wouldn’t love to be on stream boosting him?

[Bunnymeow-remulos]

He could always Review a review of his review videos with post game time analysis.

[Inárí-stormrage]

Lmao. I like you. That was a good one. Cheers.

[Greenda-trollbane]

Enjoy.

[Mhorti-grobbulus]

Got it, so he has a 60, doesn’t need a boost. But boosts anyways because he needs content. All why complaining about boosts. Content. Gotta love it.

Once Blizzard has implemented them it’s pointless to not use it.

Exactly but people here don’t have the capacity to understand this

@Inárí-stormrage

To simplify: I didn’t want the boosts added, but because they are and I cannot change that it is pointless to artificially handicap oneself by not using it,

@Vherizmia-westfall

If he is willing to buy the boost that he believes is so bad for the game, he is by extension supporting the inclusion of it and directing his followers to buy it themselves.

Ah, this is a rarity on the forums. You’re BOTH right.

Asmongold is a unique case because of his popularity. Inari would have the more correct take for anyone that isn’t so ferociously lauded, but in Asmon’s case specifically, his hypocrisy will have a significantly larger net effect on the game.

[Inárí-stormrage]

I prefer to think I’m communicating the point ineffectively. Generally leads to something productive on my end at least. Cheers.

You have to admit that he is very entertaining. He corralled an army of 58 boosts. It was impressive when they were taking the flight to do MC. One nearly continous line of people on griffons across the sky. The BC devs should owe him a huge debt of gratitude. lol

[Michaeas-remulos]

All I can think is that if Asmongold is one of us then I immediately want to be one of them… Whoever they are, it has to be better.

A person has to have standards.

Thanks.

[Legendofkris-rattlegore]

Asmongold is trash, it took way to long for the youtube app to implement a “hide this channel” button because he pays so fraggin much for advertising. In general he’s annoyingly stupid and an amazing hypocrite even in casual conversation. Anyone following his channel can expect D grade advice that will put them months behind.

This is a naive take. I personally share asmon’s opinion on this particular issue. I think the boosts overall are a negative addition to the game. I did not want them added. However, I have no control over them actually being added. Once Blizzard has implemented them it’s pointless to not use it. Principles only exist as far as the developers choose because players will always choose the path of least resistance (generally speaking).

To simplify: I didn’t want the boosts added, but because they are and I cannot change that it is pointless to artificially handicap oneself by not using it, assuming you’re willing to pay for it ofc.

Cheers.

This person gets it. That was Asmon’s position and it’s mine as well. Though I have no need for the boost so i won’t be buying one. Like Asmon…I have a ‘defeated’ position. The classic was fun while it lasted but it is basically just watching the game become retail all over again.
As a ACTV stockholder I’m loving it though. I’m conflicted. But I’m 100% certain that anything resembling retail is BAD…SUPER BAD for the integrity of the game.

Just look at these forums. They were not like this in the beginning and even middle of classic. Blizzard really opened Pandora’s box on that one. I doubt many in classic will be around for Wrath Classic. Numbers probably dropped slightly for TBC classic. I almost didn’t resubscribe. I really lost alot of interest in the game when I heard about the boost. In the end I’m subscribed again on the day of release but it certainly doesn’t have the same feel of classic wow. And just read these forums. Not as bad as retail…but oh my word.

@Vherizmia-westfall

pretty sure I’ve seen “andy” get thrown around for a while before that thread, actually

Pretty sure it’s a Twitch meme.

[Cauchy-heartseeker]

He only got the boost because his mom bought it for him.

[Twobytwoo-faerlina]

the guy could cure cancer but you people would find a way to justify calling cancer useful and pleasant

[Rorlt-benediction]

What if i told you asmon is lazy and makes other people basically do things for him all the time anyways, so him buying the boost is incredibly on brand for him.

[Profits-mankrik]

Bruh. He literally made MULTIPLE videos whining and crying about how bad the boost is

and now he’s using a boost

lmao

stop whiteknighting a streamer
