Some people take this game way too seriously

I’m trying to pick up tanking again and was tanking my own key, not someone else’s, was a 19 CoS and had a 3k player in. Holy moly were they toxic AF, like I get it I’m a bit of green tank, and the run wasn’t going that smoothly and wound up failing cause the group couldn’t handle the second boss. In which the problem player said “don’t quit your day job pall”, like dude its a freaking game, get over yourself honestly.

I should add they were on an alt!

Some people think everyone wants to hear what they have to say. Like, dude, its the WoW General Forums, get over yourself.

Okay j/k.

But i think its just people take their TIME seriously. Its not so much the game really.

The fact that you’re playing a game and they said this to you really is sad for the player who said it.

Sorry, still a bit jaded with the player!

I kid. I kid. Edited my response.

I’m sorry to hear you experienced that! Hopefully your future keys will go better.

Yeh people are like that sometimes. All you can do is dust it off and try again. The most successful people just keep getting back up when they’re knocked down. Keep at it :muscle:

im not defending their actions, its silly to get mad in a key. but i also think if youre trying out tanking you probably should have started on something in the 14-16 realm, yes you’re timing 20’s as a healer but we can both admit thats a very different role than tanking.

There’s nothing to do about it, saddly

“Some people take this game way too seriously”

You can say that again, Shocckington. At all levels of play there are people that take things way too seriously.

There are far too many entitled lunatics in this game. Mouth frothing raging lunatics.

It’s a video game.

You should not be losing your mind over simple things like disconnects, server maintenance, someone else’s gear, quests, drop rates, etc.

Yes, WoW is NOT perfect (I don’t partake in work orders and profession crafting). But, the way you people behave is just horrid.

No wonder the Devs don’t listen to this community…

I tanked up to 15s in sl but i have not found the desire to tank df due to these types of players.

That woulda been my retort:

“At least this AIN’T my day job, pal”

The thing that gets me is when people get all snooty on your own key. Like, fella, I let these keys rot most of the time, this obviously doesn’t matter to me.

90% of the people who play this game now have broken values in life. In life itself.

a 19 is not where you go to “pick up tanking again”

Imagine going in and wasting someone else’s time and trying to make them look like the bad guy

If you ever complain about getting your time wasted just know that everyone dies, and living is just a waste of time.

We’re allowed to be frustrated when someone sabotages something that you do for fun.

Truth be told I feel like I’m doing fine, not dying constantly and tanking bosses mostly no issue, I plan to cap myself to 19 as I did tank a lot as pally in SL’s. Yet I don’t have good tank trinkets so I definitely don’t want to go too high. In fact I just timed the 18 CoS, so I know what I’m doing for the most part.

I mean the run went fine tanking wise, what killed it was a knockback I wasn’t aware of sent me into the first boss, the warrior leaped during our last miniboss pull and pulled a construct onto the group. Which got it’s charging station off and caused a wipe. Then the healer and DPS couldn’t handle the second boss. Like the problem player was the lowest by a lot on the boss in terms of imp damage and boss damage, so there was more than me being a green tank at play during the run. Things that they contributed to it being a deplete in the end, and is why I’m calling them out over it.

Did you respond with “Ok boomer”
Because nobody under 40 said that.

From my experience if you dont do the run perfect and exactly to how they seen it go in a tutorial video or arent “metal” with a premade list of talents and specific gear set leople will absolutly flip their lid abd call YOU to the ground.

As far as waste of time goes, your playing a videogame bud, a time wasting activity.

Not sure how or why people get off raging on this game and singleing out individuals just to shoot them down.

Honestly battlefield v is a much more hatdcore game where you literally drop 500lb bombs on peoples foreheads and get stabbed and that game has no ragers at all. In all my years of playing videogames i have truley never seen so many negative people, and so many people who stand up for toxic people as i have in world of warcraft
