I know Warmode is about, ya’know, War and PvP encounters, but as I was afking in Isle of Dorn, someone flew up to me and started talking to me in /s and then /e.
I noticed they had the elixir of tongues buff, so I pulled out my warband bank and pulled an elixir out for myself and we just chatted for like twenty minutes or so. It felt like a really organic experience; I can’t remember the last time I actually used /s for more than like, one or two messages.
We talked about our experience in the game and how this was their first PvP season and how they’re enjoying it and the struggles of learning. Also talked about our favorite toys / collectables and frustrations with the current game.
It just felt like a really nice, social experience in WoW and made me nostalgic. I feel like I encounter so few of these in the modern game and it was delightful. 
No real value in this post, I just wanted to share a little fun thing that happened to me and take a break about my usual complaining haha.

Definitely nice when that happens. A lot of the friends I’ve made in WoW have actually come from fighting them in War Mode, and then getting to know the person a bit more.
It’s become sort of a meme in my circle of friends, that all of them at one point disliked or hated me in one way or another 
I like to run around with elixir on and say " if you can read this im gank you" a buncha times until they elixir also and then I gank them. So a similar story

Well at least you’re setting expectations appropriately lol.
Still, makes me think I should roll frost instead of fire for my own protection.
Warmode regulars have a mutual respect for each other.
I remember back in vanilla or somewhere around then there was a bug where if you mind controlled someone you could talk to them with custom emotes. That was fun.
Honestly i know moonguard is memed on and goldshire is actully worse then everyone thinks, BUT there is so much of this just out in the world. I started playing on moonguard as a joke but i couldnt see myself playing on any other server anymore.

I don’t know if I’d agree with that. Mileage may vary I suppose.
