Is WoW considered a violent video game?

I would have never met Satan without this video game. I call him uncle Baelzebub

If satan was a bee he would be called Beezlebub

He would never let me ride him

Nah, I don’t think so.

It’s a friendly, fun game.

:blush: :see_no_evil:

No. World of Warcraft is a game of peace.

Yup. And if parents are stupid enough to enable their kids by buying/letting them watch Family Guy knowingly, it’s their fault, not Family Guy’s.

Complaining about the media their kids consume while simultaneously providing said media to their kids is…well…stupid as hell. At some point a parent has to actually parent.

Hell, Donkey Kong is throwing barrels at people and even goes far out and kidnaps a woman! See, you can twist pretty much anything around to make it out to be something completely different.

Heroes go on quests and slay things. This is the genre, long before it was a video game.

WoW does not make people violent.

Lag does.

Actually there are video games that one could indeed call violent. However, thankfully, games that could genuinely be considered graphically violent are the rare bird.

Actually, I said anyone who complains about them is a moron, not that they don’t exist.

Well, some of these games should be banned. I mean, when you create a game that glorifies things like oh … school shootings … that’s something worth complaining about.

I wouldn’t call people morons for complaining about games like that.

Uh yes… it is a violent video game. You roam the wilderness killing every creature and being in sight because you are on a “quest” and someone told you to do it.

Your character by the time they are level 120 is the biggest mass murderer Azeroth has ever seen.

I don’t think it’s as violent as some games, but… we spend most of our time killing stuff for fun and profit. That doesn’t seem exactly pacifist to me.

Note: I’m actually leveling a pacifist character for the fun of it. He’s 103 now, no kills.

Now THAT is something that should get attention. Though whether Blizzard could honestly confirm it is another story.

IE full pacifist to 120.

Eh. I wouldn’t be the first. I’m not even doing the iron man version. (No gear other than grey or white, no dying.)

The definition and scale of violence changes per person/cultures.

If wow was released 50 years ago it would be considered very violent.

But on a literal perspective of the word’s definition wow fits the bill, it’s violent.

It doesn’t negate the fact that what he’s doing is pretty cool.

You win the internet today.

So what you are saying is you don’t like free speech.
