Should the WoW forums have your highest progression achieved in the season under your portrait?

Lol not ‘literally everyone’, but lots of people. It’s a generalization.

I see it every day.

It’s like saying everyone uses class guides for M+ speccing. Not literally everyone, but a large majority for sure.

I think the current Healthcare issue in the news is a good example- it’s complex but “everyone” has their two cents to say about it.

Ah yes, the whole “I did my own research by watching a quack on youtube” thing.

I don’t watch YouTube except for memes and poops.

A valid point isn’t automatically wrong just because someone lacks experience in something. I am pretty sure walking across fire hurts but I have never actually done it nor do I need to to have that opinion.

A point isn’t valid when it starts off with a lie.

That is also true and thankfully we already have all the tools we need to determine that :slight_smile:

So “I think” is a lie then?

Are people allowed to speculate?

Educated guesses?

No.

But “Mythic raids have the best gear” is. Or “Mythic bosses are the same as Normal, they just have more health and damage”. Or “raiding is the fastest way to gear”. Or “you don’t have to do M+ if you don’t want to”. Or “WoW doesn’t have a problem with class imbalance”.

Or any number of other bits of nonsense frequently spouted on this forum.

And people who play the game where these things matter, all know they’re lies.

I think it would just add clutter when it’s very easy to look other people up. And if someone goes out of their way to hide what credentials they might have on a topic, then they can safely be dismissed.

Indeed.

“If I claim I’m Hall of Fame but hide my profile, people will have to take me at my word.”

No, if you hide your profile everyone will just assume you’re lying. :joy:

Not going to lie, I get enjoyment from seeing someone make very bold claims only for it be all made up.

Yes, and I 100% agree. The problem is people come here and start their OP with their “experience” as a way to leverage it to substantiate their argument. It’s a terrible argument, yet people do it constantly.

I just don’t necessarily think it’s a lie if someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Like, I know delves give raid-equivalent gear to Heroic, but you can’t target certain items like raid trinkets.

I said “Delves give raid gear”.

Is it a lie? No, but it’s not exactly right either. You can’t get all raid items from delves.

Misinformation =/= a lie

Obviously intent matters, people do indeed lie on purpose lol

True, but some people will be specific by making statements like “I was 3k every season except this one” or “I was the top 10 tank global” ect ect.

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”

Okay but, what if I honed my skills in the pits of Kaon?

People who want to blow smoke and habitually give wrong answers to things they know nothing about should go over to the Tech Support forums and give phony answers there all day long.

I’m sure that will go over well.

more simple than that. it should sync the acheivs to all alts even if the alt didnt login the game for years.

as it is the acheivs arent spreading to the old chars unless you enter the world with them.

They also shouldn’t allow people to post on classic characters. Except in the classic forum, of course.

I’m not bothered, no one starts out smart.

You’re wrong until you learn otherwise.
