The /spit dilemma regarding store mounts

[Kagutsu-emerald-dream]

Aside from a few trolls, I am heartened by the recent posts. People do seem to care in a way at least about the issue.

Even if it is utter contempt for people in this thread who have chosen spit over reason, that is a solid victory.

Never encourage trolls. Let them lie forgotten in the bootmarks of their streamer gods.

Oh my god! people is using an emote! i can’t handle it! ban! ban it with fire!

[Zealot-emerald-dream]

sounds like anti-spenditism

/spit towards Kagutsu

Really?

Also see how badly this is affecting you? That’s what he’s aiming for. If you don’t want the shame, don’t buy the mounts.

Clearly the only option is to remove the /spit emote.

Keep spitting on the easily offended boyos

I’m an asmongold fan and whilst I agree with his position in store mounts I’m yet to spit on someone with a store mount

Infact if one day I bought a store mount and someone spat on me I don’t think it would phase me in the slightest

I have emotes disabled, and say/yell disabled aside from when I raid. I used to leave it on, and enjoyed interacting with other players. Now we get stuff like this. It ruins it for the person targeted by the emote, and others who may want to have positive game interactions with the person who’s disabled emotes and say.

Disgusting behaviour all around.

But, today’s generation is only full of “love trumps hate” - no?

So I am to let someone shame me into not spending MY money the way I want? The fcuk

That is true. Stay away from PVP. I had it done so many times/

[Cashcollecta-emerald-dream (Cashcollecta)]

I would hate to see what he thinks about people buying tokens to get the brutosaur mount.

[George-blood-furnace]

Anyone who throws around the word ‘toxicity’ this much when /ignoring is a perfectly viable option is essentially asking for it.

“Those people are asking to be harassed by not putting me on /ignore when I harass them.”

Did I get that right?

[Shotsfìred-sargeras (Shotsfìred)]

“Brutal and toxic campaign” LOL, its an in game emote that literally anyone has the right to use on ANYONE if they so choose. If that triggers or has any effect on someone then they have bigger problems in life and might want to think about not being so sensitive.

Should I get outraged if someone /spits on me after they kill me now as well because the emote is evil? I can’t believe this is a thing now where in-game emotes are being considered toxic, what a horrible time to be alive. This reminds me of people calling others toxic in another game I play, Smite, for laugh emote spamming lol.

Time to get rid of flag of ownership as well I guess if we are going down this route, its obviously toxic behavior and might make someone feel bad when they die!

Should I get outraged if someone /spits on me

reminds me of the /whistle thing all over again.

[Xazu-tichondrius]

Getting triggered over an emote made of 1s and 0s, pathetic!

[Shotsfìred-sargeras (Shotsfìred)]

Yep pretty much.

They should make a toy that drops of of Azshara if you have the eyeball or eyeball toy equipped. Call it ‘Azshara’s pride’ or something, that has that effect if they do rude emotes while it’s up.

[Buttonwillow-wyrmrest-accord]

A certain streamer has started a brutal and toxic ingame campaign where he repeatedly encourages his acolytes to start spitting at anyone who has a store mount. After a recent drama with Taliesen about taking responsibility, the streamer in question refuses to take any, and goes on to further ask followers to keep spitting on store mount buyers.

Now, I personally don’t have any store mounts nor will I be purchasing them. That being said, this attitude isn’t something we should support as a community.

So if you see anyone riding a store mount and supporting the game that you apparently love, keep walking. I know it will be hard, but try not being toxic to your fellow video game player once in a while.

The vast majority of people will do anything that a decent looking person in front of camera tells them to these days.

Lemmings leaping off the ledge just to prove that they can leap the highest.

[Tinyblast-korialstrasz (Tinyblast)]

Assuming I even caught the emote. I barely pay attention to chat these days.

Yeah same here, the chances are I would never see a /spit emote because other then a BG or guild chat I rarely look at it anymore
