Just because he says one (actually, two, considering what happened on twitch with a recently hired mod that immediately went on a power trip…) thing that is true doesn’t mean everyone should “revere the ground he stands on, for he is a god among mortals”.
You can go hunt for whatever vids back when he was doing Project 60 or whichever level it was the second time around. They were leveling together for days, not hours.
i find it more interesting how people go directly into “nothing to see here” mode, and actively derail any thread which attempts to highlight how bad botting is.
It’s not botting alright, it’s the multiboxers. Nope, stop looking at Nazmir and look at this one player riding a Druid who also happens to be him, that’s the problem.
Back before Classic was announced, Project x became the hot deal for streamers. Sodapoppin, Asmongold, and others said “hey let’s level to 60 and try to emulate a vanilla experience with the raids and stuff at the end”. Then it became Project 70. Pretty sure there was even Project 80.
Because streamers didn’t want sharding involved (cause sharding didn’t exist in vanilla), they decided to invade RP servers since they dont have as much sharding as PvE servers. So then the trolls who followed the streamers were at war with the RPers (lots of harassment and disruption on multiple servers), and the RPers were upset on the forums. Fast forward a couple of months or whatever and suddenly everyone was apparently done with the Project scene, but Asmongold decided to do another one.
Instead of taking however many followers he had involved to a low pop RP server (there may have been two guilds, but I cant remember)… He decided to go to MG which is already clogged with tourists and gold farmers.
I logged on and immediately noticed lag. I brought it up and someone I knew explained that Asmongold was doing a project thing. I pop over to the stream to confirm, and yup he was leveling with a ton of followers. I think it was a few days before enough players stopped caring for the lag to go away.
Bruh, this thread is about how botting is a problem using a dude’s video because otherwise people fall back on the caveat of “I don’t see any bots so there is nothing to see here” even when there is a botting problem. Jesus Christ if you want to make four paragraphs about something Asmongold did years ago make a thread about it yourself instead of de-railing a thread about something that actually is an issue.
