You consistently feel the need to attempt to insult people and be toxic in every single post you create. Check yourself, sir and/or madam.
thought this was pretty fun/funny until i came back from idling in the ohnaran plains and was mildly confused last night
One would think that players on a RP server would be more conscious of this.
Perhaps they are RPing?
Playing an annoying character out to annoy all of Azeroth?
One thing I DO like about it: It quickly reveals the people with anger-management problems.
I was watching some people have serious melt-downs over it last night. Like full on toddler-from-hell type tantrums. And Iâm not even talking about disrupting battlegroundsâŠjust people hanging by the fountain losing their ever loving minds.
Blows me away how many absolutely fragile people are out there.
Does anyone have a video of this? I have yet to see it in-game.
Iâm sorry you think the best way to respond to trolling is to cater to them. Some of us feel differently. As to the point about firing the employee responsible, granted that may be an emotional overreaction. Then again, if they didnât know how this would be used, theyâre incompetent. If they did know and put it in the game anyway, theyâre enabling the trolls for the lolz. Either wayâŠdo they really deserve to maintain their position?
I direct you to my response to Rejel.
Itâs an exploit, my dude. It needs to be fixed, but noone needs to lose their jobs over it, holy crap.
This cynic and me believes they do this on purpose. It happens every time they have something like this in the game. I mean every time.
Maybe not illegal, but certainly wrong from a moral perspective. Thereâs even a word for it: in German itâs schadenfreude. The closest English equivalent is âepicaricacy.â If someone trips in front of you and falls, and you stop and laugh, youâre likely to be regarded as an awful person by anyone nearby. Just because bad behavior on the internet puts two screens between you and the target of your amusement, doesnât make the behavior any less wrong.
Blizz, Hire a QA tester. Run everything by them and ask the single question, âCan Someone troll an entire group of people and/or prevent them from doing things in the game.â If there is even a slight hesitation, DO NOT ADD IT TO THE GAME. I refuse to log in til this is hotfixed, anything that causes loss of control should NOT be in the game ever. Also please fire the person who created this (de)buff.
QA Tester : Oh yea, totally, I did the testing thing.
Does anyone have footage?
This sounds absolutely hilarious terrible
My server must be beyond dead. I havenât seen it at all.
I know. I picked up on that from reading this thread.
And if or when, the exploit causes a player to go into epileptic shock, from all the flashing lights, what will you do? laugh about it?
Just think about this, what happens if a lot of the players go into epileptic shock and then when the family discover Blizzard let it happen, can you see the lawsuits? can you see WOW shutting down because of the legal bills. And donât think lawyers wouldnât go after Blizzard, they would see a big payday.
Hehe, I like your name. I now imagine when you speak, you sound like a salty old Italian man.
I found an exploit that kills your character even in safe zones. Oh, itâs not my fault if I use it to kill you repeatedly so you canât play the game, Blizzard put it in the game and itâs just me having fun at your expense.
Behold how that kind of logic doesnât make sense when it is, by definition, trolling, especially when there is an existing precedent for abusing exploits for personal gain or amusement.
Yeah Iâm trying to decide if this person is trolling or being serious. Itâs hard to tell. I canât believe someone would suggest they lose their job over this. Kinda sad.
I should think it obvious I find trolling repugnant. Perhaps the subtlety of my point was lost on you. Though normally I try to avoid making appeals to authority, if youâve read this entire thread, youâll find I am hardly alone in that sentiment.
