Jesus, offended? lol. Ok drama. Normals aren’t worth that kind of over-exaggeration.

Nobody is purposefully trying to offend you by saying the word “happens” I’ve literally never seen anyone use the word that way.
Level 27 alt obviously trolling.

“Now” lol.
“happens” does sound like a snarky response, despite the fact that pulling a couple mobs wasn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things. it just doesn’t sound very polite (even though it’s true that mistakes do happen).
“happens” in this context sounded dismissive, and depending on the random groups tolereance for mistakes, may or may not go over badly.

I don’t know about that, the wow community is insane when it comes to dungeons. Even usually “nice” posters like Wild think that the word “happens” is somehow snarky lmao.
So does “oops” so does “sorry” Your point? Do you want the DPS to fix the mistake and take down the extra pulled mobs or write a 5 page essay? It’s all the subjectivity of people getting their feelings hurt in a normal dungeon.
Well there’s snarky and then someone trying to fake like they are offended. When there are way more valid reasons for being offended. They are either trolling or need to go touch grass.

How does “sorry” sound dismissive? Lol. A simple one word apology sounds dismissive compared to “happens” ?
One word is an apology, and the other is a laid back response. In pugs, I personally wouldn’t take my chances with the latter.
I think you are in the minority in this one. Might wanna take the L here, lol.
Btw, I personally wouldn’t get mad if someone said “happens” when pulling a couple extra mobs. But that’s not to say that other people wouldn’t. But I think it would be harder to get mad at someone for apologizing. Just my 2 cents

Someone can say sorry in a sarcastic manner. However it’s hard to sense sarcasm over the internet.
They both sound dismissive. One liners naturally sound dismissive, how do I know that the person saying “sorry” isn’t trying to snark me and be sarcastic? Oh wait that’s right I don’t know just like I don’t know what someone means when they say “happens” it’s literally all subjectivity, the only one at fault here is the one that got mad at a one liner is a normal dungeon.
Look at the OP’s number of likes versus the second posts likes. I think you’re in the minority here, might wanna take the L.
Exactly, so I was confused why the other guy was conflating “sorry” with snark.

Just as I’m confused as to why you’re conflating “happens” with snark.
Not in a normal dungeon pug environment, no. Brevity is the norm and the expected mode of communication.
Not really, if anything most people barely speak in lfg dungeons. Not to mention the person replying might just be antisocial.
You know the difference. Just stop trying to be argumentative. I’m done wasting my time with you.

I’m not being argumentative, I’m quite baffled about how one can get offended by “happens” and consider it snark.
Good at least it looks like you can take the L and realize you are the minority in this one.
(This is what actual snark sounds like by the way, maybe now you can figure out the difference)
I said I was done wasting time with you, but you moved the goalposts and so I feel compelled to respond.
Likes for those posts you mentioned have nothing to do with our argument. We are discussing whether sorry or happens is the more appropriate response in pug situations.
The likes the OP received is more a reflection of the sentiment people feel about the trashy WoW community. The second posts likes is a more accurate reflection of how people think everyone should’ve responded in that situation. At least that’s how I take it. But there’s no way to know for sure since we aren’t mind readers, and that’s an odd counterpoint to bring up in response to the argument we were having.
Like myself, I “liked” the OP, but I wouldn’t have said “happens” in that scenario unless I felt like being a bit snarky.

You can make excuses all you want, but we know it’s just because you can’t resist. It makes sense, you thought the word “happens” was snarky so obviously when someone uses actual snark it might irritate you a bit more. So my apologies 
.
Hey, you’re the one that brought up who was in the minority, and throughout this thread there are plenty of folks disagreeing with the idea that “happens” is snarky.
On the flip side it’s very obvious that if they thought that “happens” was snarky they wouldn’t like the post. Therefore all 51 people that liked that post think that the OP wasn’t being snarky and didn’t warrant a kick, next time don’t bring up who is in the minority when it’s right in front of you sweetheart.
I can see that really triggered you. Poor baby.
You love to make assumptions, don’t you? You know what they say about assumptions, it makes a “butt” of you.
Now I know that you’re a troll. 99% of the time, someone who calls a person “sweetheart” in this manner is just a troll with nothing better to do.
Wrong. Source: me. And I liked the post BEFORE this pointless argument that we’re now having. Because I agreed with his sentiment about the community making this game unfun sometimes. You are a great example of that.
Ok, now I’m done. Promise.
