- AVOID PLAYER as TEAMMATEOPTION- for bg blitz

Do u base that off of the allowance ur parents give u? Wouldn’t be surprised if ur wow sub is part of that package.

Funny how u can’t even explain how u got all those honor levels. I once knew a ret back in cata that bragged out having Bloodthirsty to everyone and wanted to duel everyone since he thought he was so good. He lost every single duel and come to found out he used to AFK at Blacksmith in AB for his HK. So looking back it kind of makes sense why u like to just run away from a team fight just to lash out on people. U’d think based on what u post and say in game that u’d be a great asset to a team, but here u are just another person feeding off of the work of others. Guess bad habits are hard to break when mom/dad pay for everything still. Then again, can’t expect much from a player who thinks clone is the same as a hoj I guess

I’ll work on my pet battling the day you stop being so insufferable in game, guess that won’t ever happen tho :dracthyr_shrug: edge lords gotta edge, feel sry for whoever takes the AA from u later; hopefully they just have u on ignore

When a grand total of 2 players on my team are doing any meaningful damage and when they can’t even kill a single healer I gripped to the back of our group yeah I’m not wasting my time trying to help them.

You are kind of just running with an assumption you created from whole cloth in your mind with nothing to back it up.

Pet battles require a lot more strategy then premades actually maybe you’d be good at them with all the strategy you do in epics.

but u ran away from ROC last night while u still had ur team there fighting. thought u died only to target u and see u running back to the horde base :skull: didn’t notice ur whispers until i was back in mid, i can already see the furious enraged typing as u are making ur way back since u didn’t bother grabbing a scroll to teleport back to base :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

cool doing what u do, just assuming, guess u dont like it when people do it to u. u rly do give off spoiled kid that spends all day online vibes tho. at one point i figured u were some bitter old man, but then u started making fun of older people. just a bitter edgelord doomer zoomer, at least u arent an ipad kid, could’ve been worse.

lol coming from the guy who is known to stop contributing to the match and rage whisper ppl, ofc u think ebgs require less effort; u weren’t doing much to begin with.

You mean after they wiped and the alliance team was swarming the aa

I had really good parents who taught me how things really work from a young age and I still am (only 20). Thankful for that instead of having to spend a whole ton of time just to learn the hard way eventually.

And yeah I kind of don’t like older people mainly cause they have wrecked and are continuing to wreck any chance of younger people being able to have the lives they did in very selfish fashion. If that makes someone a “doomer zoomer” then so be it it’s still fact.

When again my team can’t do anything and it’s an obvious loss no matter what happens like literally 100 players down and dropping why try to prolong it?

Lol by the time u dipped there was still enough of ur team still there and trying to push in… The minute we killed the other dk u were already on the water heading back and it was easy to get the AA because u weren’t there spinning while the remainder of ur team was trying to get into ROC. It was honestly funny finding out u chickened out only to follow it up with rage whispers. Had u just gone back and sat in base quietly nobody would’ve cared/noticed, but you’re young and think there are no consequences to ur actions, i get it; it’s pretty common for young people to think that way.

Well they sure should’ve taught u something more about respecting others. Then again there are parents out there that think their children are angels while being completely oblivious to what they say online. Only thing I can probably agree w/ u at this point is yeah the older generation really screwed things up, but to be so bitter about it and treat others like piles of filth ain’t it.

U play a bdk in a map where u could’ve solo’d the boss, or at least force some of the team to peel off of the frontlines. We had a good amount of pugs with us that thankfully read what was typed out in instance chat, so pushing into ur base and clearing that win quickly wasn’t an issue. Had u actually helped and gotten the AA for ur team u would’ve had a better shot, but again u just resorted to sitting in base and sending unhinged whispers to others since u think u won’t get in trouble.

The IOC we had prior which had a decent amount of pugs on both sides, along w/ some ebg regs on the Horde side was a much better match. Respect to the Horde in that game as they never gave up, even put up some D when the gate went down, probably the most fun match of the night tbh. I get it people want quick wins or losses, but giving up like that then resorting to ridiculous kicking/screaming is pathetic. It’s not like ur team was being gy farmed or anything, had that been the case I probably would’ve somewhat understood ur outbursts.

Are you going to call iss on me or something lmao.

I’m fully aware of what I can and can’t do and I can do what I did. Making people feel a little bad with words isn’t a crime.

They taught me respect is earned not automatically given to everyone cause there are a great many people who don’t deserve it as much as they crave it.

Why would I do that when 1 healer could just recall and ruin it?

Nah, just don’t be shocked when someone decides to say something instead of radio silence, which I feel like u typically get as people rly don’t like getting rage whispers over a video game. Especially the older u get, the less tolerant u are to that type of behavior.

Not rly sure how u can earn someone’s respect when u resort to ur childish behavior. It’s a 2 way street ya know, but I have a feeling u just have a general disregard towards others, regardless of their actions towards u.

So if u don’t want to go to the boss due to recalls, y have I seen u do it in other games without a problem lol. I’ve seen half the raid on u at the base before. Sure just need 1 monk to stop u, but u still drew people away effectively doing more than just sitting in base sending messages to ppl u apparently don’t care about - u do realize u have to type out their name and server to msg them right? Normally ppl that don’t care don’t even bother w/ that

OH - so since u like to say “bad words” aren’t a crime, since u think clicking q when others in a community click q at the same time is breaking the rules, u do realize being toxic like that is against the ToS right? Oh the irony, sure it’s not illegal but u agreed to the social contract to behave urself in game. I’m sure u’ll get hit w/ some sort of action when u go off on enough ppl in a bg one day, since u think a little bad words don’t matter :dracthyr_shrug:

Yeah I’m fully aware of the average age bracket in this game.

I have a talent for telling what kind of person somebody is just by taking 1 good look at them so yeah most of them are not worth interacting with.

And then que dropping and leaving players stranded in a 10v40 game cause the que didn’t go your way… yeah I’d say that’s gameplay sabotage if I’ve ever seen it.

Is a word that has lost all meaning to me really.

Once a word is overused to hell and back it loses its meaning and to many have used it to just call anything that doesn’t please them toxic as an all encompassing umbrella of condemnation.

You mean the one that was introduced immediately after blizzard got caught with their pants down…. Literally. Sounds like hypocrisy.

“We got busted being scum so now we are going to crack down on you who did nothing wrong”

lol i’ve been in multiple games with just 5-10 people from the community… Even had games where we had a big gap on our end because another community dropped when we took. I agree voids suck for everybody, games where there is a void on the opposite team we look for the fastest way to end the game. This notion that premades like to gy farm for HKs is not the standard.

Just because u think a word lost its meaning due to over use and what the internet tells u, doesn’t mean that the meaning of that word has actually changed. Toxicity is still toxicity. Going off on someone because ur mad at them over a video game is being toxic, it cost nothing to keep that to urself or ur group of friends.

What does blizzard’s actions have to do with abiding by the social contract? I don’t agree w/ the actions that past blizzard employees did, I would like to think MOST people don’t, but that doesn’t mean that the social contract is invalid. U still have to agree to it, if u rly view it as rubbish then why accept? I’m glad more companies are jumping on this too btw, it’s getting rather tiring having some kid lash out on u over the internet because u beat them in a game or they blame u for the loss while on ur team. Literally had some ret spamming slurs in chat the other day in bgb because he felt we weren’t going to win, we even won that no thanks to him.

Context? Was it about your premade vs his pug? I didn’t read through the entire wall of text between you two.

Nah it was really about the rage whispers he was sending. It’s whatever at this point, literally did a wg w/ him on our team earlier and nothing was even mentioned lol.

Context for the match tho if ur curious, we had maybe 1-2 full groups and a few solos, not a premade rly. Kinda like when late night horde has a few full groups and someone capable of leading. It was last q of the night everyone just wanted to get a last game in despite no usual leads being online. Saw he was on the other team, someone mentioned he goes for AA which is honestly the best thing he could do for his team in that match aside from soloing a boss, but as he noted up top u rly just need a mw to scroll back to base to negate that. Anyways, we go to ROC with the sole intention of getting that AA first. See him and another dk there as we’re making our way up while the pugs clash with the rest of the horde team by the tree area that didn’t make it to ROC fast enough, focus was keeping AA from Enfers as we knew that would not be ideal. Then yeah what I listed above happened, whispers get sent out to people, we continue to play until the match is finished.

None of this would’ve happened had he just decided to not harass people in game over that. It’s a common theme that I’ve heard others mention. I understand him disliking premades but being nasty to people in whispers is not the move imo. If people want to take their grievances to the forums and discuss it in a healthy manner I’m all for it, but we know how those tend to go…

Sorry more walls of text, but that’s pretty much what happened. If the mods decide to clean this thread up come Monday I really doubt either of us will care, I know I won’t lose any sleep over it.

Patch hasn’t dropped and already people have their personal issues with solo-queue.

Good thing we have advocated for it since Legion.

Then you should stop causing them perhaps?

I know a lot of people who don’t put any stock into ‘toxic’ anymore cause its used so frequently to describe so much that it doesn’t apply to.

And usually with no real justification for the label either.

Because it didn’t exist prior to their massive public mistake.

Clearly they never thought it was a issue until their mistake and then all of a sudden once they got into hot water it magically popped up.

And its because they pretty much force you to accept it to play? (which from a legal pov is kind of wild)

Ah yes the great push to turn every game into a daycare because for some reason people cant handle conversations. If we’re honest almost everyone on this game is probably 16+ everyone is a grown adult and should be able to handle words.

Given some things are over the line ofc like slurs and threats and all that but nearly everything else is not that big of a deal.

Blizzard doesn’t force u into agreeing to the social contract. You can decline and play something else. Not sure why it’s such a hard concept for some people to realize that.

Also it’s not about this being a daycare, some people just don’t want in game harassment from others. Regardless of whatever words u decide to use, harassment is harassment. There is a difference between having a conversation with someone and being a straight up jerk.

Yeah im totally just gonna stop playing the game i’ve played for 14+ years just cause blizzard wants to come up with an arbitrary new set of rules ontop of the already existing ones on the fly as part of the damage control for their own mistake.

Harassment is actually a pretty broad category today. I’ve seen people say opening a door for somebody is harassment lmao.

“I could’ve done that myself!! i didn’t need you to do it for me!”

Talking to someone without their permission? harassment
Looking at someone for a few seconds without their permission? harassment
Breathing air in the same room as someone else and taking it from them?? harassment

Its another word that has been overused and at least to me lost its meaning as well another blanket word used to slander anything and everything that doesn’t immediately please people.

lol yikes, talk about delusional. Really thinking breathing the same air as someone is harassment. Talk about showing your true self :joy:

I’m sure its happened somewhere.

The opening the door as misogny and harassment part is real its actually happened and i think someone actually got in trouble for it to. Imagine something that used to be considered common courtesy is now considered harassment by a increasing # of people.

Its literally clownworld out here and i shouldn’t be surprised the gaming industry has followed suit.

And the damage that its done is pretty real to. I remember watching alec’s stream when he was still leading sod and he literally got a behavior warning for just calling strats in chat with a mostly pug group. I guess everyone needs to just sit in their corners and not say anything to anyone for fear of potentially offending someone.

With over 8 billion people in this world I’m sure some cooked stuff is bound to happen, but I don’t think holding the door for a woman and being called a misogynist is as common as the twitter bots make it out to be. I’m in a major US city and never once got labelled that for holding a door for a woman. Worst I had was an older lady yelling at me going on about how she can get the door herself, sure didn’t stop me for continuing to hold the door for others.

Sad how Alec got a warning, I fault that more on Blizzard choosing to automate tho. Now instead of looking forward to getting a “gm joke” you instead look forward to having to submit a multitude of tickets only to receive automated responses that do nothing but frustrate the player. You also have people that unfortunately get punished by bots that just abuse the current report system when they get caught, or players abusing the system just to action someone; which seems to have happened in Alec’s case. I don’t even feel comfortable reporting bots just for the fear of getting my account banned at this point, meanwhile you see them running rampant with Blizzard only waiting for a large enough pool to do a ban wave.

Personally I feel that they should move away from this more automated system and bring a more human element to things, even if it follows the current trend of outsourcing to places where making pennies on the dollar is the norm. I’d rather have someone take a look at things instead of a program having the final say, especially since some players out there have invested years of their lives to this game. I do believe after a certain amount of appeals it does go to a person, but I can only imagine how tiring it is to even have to get to that point.

Acceptable. I’m ok with these trade.

Then you’re sacrificing potential CR for a better team-experience.

Does blizzard’s solution also work on alts? If so, this would be fantastic.

this post didnt age well

as i watch a streamer play at 2800 mmr and his team mates completely avoid objectives and forget bloodlust in some games
