Zarnoās banned till October for making a joke Wranduin thread on GD.
I guess making a Troll thread in GD that grows wings and flies to the Story Forum is a delicate thing. You probably need the right amount of faux jargon, and you need to scrub any obvious sarcasm.
But man these punishments are cray to the bizone. People have been getting more than a month for pretty innocuous and silly things.
Iām ngl the changes DF purports to make all sound really good.
But they also sound really obvious. And so Iām still very skeptical about all this. Because Iāve never seen a company have such a hostile relationship with itās customers. It took months for Corruptions to be purchasable on alts which actively discouraged people from playing if they were done with their mains. And of course the Covenant system went awry in the precise way everyone and their dog told Blizz it would. To the point where itās actually preferable to think of that ripcord as a lie because they alternative is they wanted the game to be that tedious and frustrating.
Not to mention it didnāt even make sense of the context of the story. All the Covenants are aligned, you help eachother out frequently, and they all had 100% compatible goals. There was no reason whatsoever they should care if you wanna go spend time in another clubhouse.
The last time I was thoroughly enjoying myself was at the end of BFA. Because thanks to the purchasable corruptions and ability to get gear through Horrific Visions, I got my Priest, DK, Warlock and Rogue up to competitive play levels.
Which meant I was never bored. Because the gameplay feel between those 4 are so vastly different as to basically be different games all together.
The real fun of PvP comes from mastering your class. Everytime I lose I can usually see where I went wrong. Shouldāve popped this CD, shouldāve countered with that ability, shouldāve waited to cast that, etc. And eventually when you do get it down pat itās an amazing experience. Because youāll have moments where youāre just in the zone and are absolutely dancing around opponents. And also moments where you run into someone better, and you get reminded thereās still a lot to learn.
Thatās the core gameplay thrill for me. Making it a gargantuan undertaking to even get to that starting level with more than one class is what pours sand on my fun fire, and Iām just disinterested in having that happen again.
Nothing I have seen warrants buying the preorder. I feel like the longer the leave us hanging they deeper the hole they are digging.

Blizz just nerfed the Dracthyr racial and made Dragonriding feel worse.

Iām a guide in the New Player channel. I recently found a poster who admitted to being a minor on the forums. I told them that was a bad idea, and to be careful of the forums because it was toxic. They deleted their forum posts that revealed their age after that. Iām glad I saved a teenager, who is not much younger than I am, from the toxic WoW community.

Famous or infamous? two sides of the same coin.
Sometimes itās best not to ask questions and just take the compliments.
Congrats, Zerde the Legendary.

I donāt really understand why people are so big on āwholesome communitiesāā¦ Iād sure rather interact with respectful, good-hearted people, but I also want them to be sincere, genuine in what they say ā and I donāt think someone truly genuine is always wholesome
A no-bully community sounds good enough to me

He has to be someone from the Story forum Discord, since he once called Ainhin by his Discord name. This lounge was made to advertise the discord, fyi.

I might be dating myself as an aging Millennial who is a throw back to the hippies to begin withā¦ but is ācuriouscatā a new social media platform? Almost sounds like it. Be careful on those things, folks.
I do not know if it was made for that purpose, or maybe it sort of crossed purposes.
My guess is that the Lounges predate the Discord, but I was not here for the very first lounge in the older versions of the forum. Threads used to be capped around 500, and new threads would get made. But that has not happened yet here. The new Forum allows for more replies.
Thatās likely why it had a number. The people at the time were not sure at what point it might cap out.

oh itās a website that lets people ask you things anonymously
however in the past few months Iāve received a grand total of now 218 hate messages, majority racist or homophobic (some with weird Anti Catholicism sprinkled in) so I deactivated anonymous messaging and activated āonly let verified users send messagesā & "only let accounts at least one month old send messages)
