Well that is very idealistic of you but I think we both know that people just want any reason to hate streamers. If it fits their hate narrative then that is the point where they shut off their brains.

Vherizmia-westfall · May 23, 2021, 5:14pm

did you just compare calling out a streamer with countless viewers who will do everything he says on his purchase of a product that he himself on several occasions said is unhealthy for the game to cancer?

you have issues

Inárí-stormrage · May 23, 2021, 6:35pm

I’m not saying you’re wrong ofc. I’m not actually idealistic. I just act as if that were true because then at the least it gives me a chance to flesh out the ideas. That’s all I meant really.

Greenda-trollbane · May 23, 2021, 7:03pm

You weren’t paying attention then.

Chiyoko-arugal · May 25, 2021, 4:13am

People need to realize that streamers are people too

Bunnymeow-remulos · May 25, 2021, 4:15am

I might go watch the latest Asmongold video

Kirarozu-bloodsail-buccaneers · May 25, 2021, 4:17am

lol I am anti boost and I bought 2 of them. I may be against it but I’m not going to ignore free gold.

Vherizmia-westfall · May 25, 2021, 4:23am

you bought 2 boosts just for 50 gold? a little desperate don’t you think?

Kirarozu-bloodsail-buccaneers · May 25, 2021, 4:24am

No. I bought 2 boosts which are both 300 tailors and alchemists which will print gold with spell cloth and primal mights in TBC.

Vherizmia-westfall · May 25, 2021, 4:25am

I wouldn’t call that free gold then, since you had to put in the effort/resources to level those professions

Kirarozu-bloodsail-buccaneers · May 25, 2021, 4:27am

lol its free gold to me. What effort? I’ve been preparing for this since before ZG came out. Sure I didn’t know there would be boosts but I have been planning on having at minimum 5 tailors and alchs since pre ZG. I wasn’t one of those people who said “blizzard hasn’t even announced tbc yet”. I knew they were going to do it and I prepared accordingly. It takes no effort to stand there and level professions. With the xp nerf it takes very little time to get to 60 from 58. Tirion Fordring quest in EPL, a few quest in Winterspring, and a few quests in Silithus and you’re there.

Vherizmia-westfall · May 25, 2021, 4:28am

this effort, right here

Kirarozu-bloodsail-buccaneers · May 25, 2021, 4:31am

Nah… not effort. How is it effort to randomly pick up cloth when I was already doing stuff that dropped it? You can sit here and try and tell me my own motivations all you want. You don’t get to decide what is effort for someone. This game is very easy. You get cloth just from killing mobs. You are wrong. Accept it.

Vherizmia-westfall · May 25, 2021, 4:32am

I’m literally complimenting you on a small accomplishment and you’re taking it as some sort of insult. Holy hell, get over yourself

Kirarozu-bloodsail-buccaneers · May 25, 2021, 4:33am

Nah… you aren’t. Complimenting someone goes like “good job” or “congrats”. You can’t now try to turn it around.

Vherizmia-westfall · May 25, 2021, 4:34am

I was certainly trying to. You’re so blinded by your head being up your own behind that you can’t see it

Cirenidy-deviate-delight · May 25, 2021, 4:54am

This doesn’t make sense. It’s like if a pastor of a large congregation made a huge stink about making premarital sex illegal and then having premarital sex as a joke after it became apparent a law wouldn’t be made.

Like it or not he has a lot of sway over the community and his over sensationalized opinions on things like this have real effects. People have a right to call him out on his hypocrisy after suffering from players empowered by his opinions.

The truth is, boosts just aren’t that big of a deal. But he and internet personalities like him get the community all riled up just to go, “Might as well use it since it is in the game LOL.” Like did he need it? Was it really that big of an advantage for asmondgold to buy the boost, or did he do it for the clickbait?

Chunkz-muradin · May 25, 2021, 5:06am

One of us … One of US…

Daedrik-benediction · May 25, 2021, 5:08am

Tho I do respect the fact he still to this day hasn’t collected a store mount

Inárí-stormrage · May 25, 2021, 6:56am

I disagree. I don’t wanna touch your example tbh cause I have a feeling it would drag the discussion in a weird direction. I get the point but i’m just gonna move past that for my previously stated reason.

He isn’t being a hypocrite. His position was never that you shouldn’t USE the boosts, it was that blizzard should not ADD the boosts. I have the same opinion. Once blizzard decides to add them they’re in the game and there’s nothing the players can do about it. The stance isn’t that the boosts are inherently wrong but that they would have an overall negative impact on the game. The negative impact is done the moment they’re added and using or not using them is going to have a completely negligible impact.

I think the main issue here is a fundamental misunderstanding of the stance. I’m not saying you have to agree, but at the very least it is logically consistent. Cheers.
