What forum post will you always remember and why?

So, as you all know, I play a Shaman. I’m currently the best geared Shaman in the world and I have multiple world DPS records on WowMeterOnline. So I go into this Battleground because I feel like gracing my battlegroup with my presence, right? Everyone is cheering as I enter. They don’t bother putting down a mage table or healthstone because they know that they’re not going to need it–I, the Darkness, has come.

So I cast Lightning Shield on myself, because that’s what Shamans do. They call down MOTES OF ELECTRICITY FROM THE HEAVENS and they SURROUND THEMSELVES with DEADLY AMOUNTS OF LIGHTNING! All of my teammates are instantly electrocuted to death, but me? I merely bathe in the energy; it is my plaything. Even though my teammates are now charred corpses, they continue to cheer, because they know that I can solo this. The gates open. I run in. With Ghost Wolf, my movement speed is increased by

Horde sees me run by but they can’t do anything about it because I’m a ghost and I’m wolfing at

They can hear the howl of my ghost wolf. They are all cowering–no, literally, they type the /cower emote and just stand there–as I cap the Stables. I cast WATERWALKING on myself–WATERWALKING, like Jesus, and I careen towards the Blacksmith. The Horde there see me coming and they just /afk the !@#$ out. I put down my totems before I start capping Blacksmith’s flag. A Rogue tries to sap me–

BAM!

The Rogue is engulfed in flame as my Searing Totem SEARS him from the inside out! His leather clothing EXPLODES in a rain of fire that spirals around my beautiful female Draenei form as I continue to cap the Blacksmith. The fire rips through the Rogue’s bones, but it doesn’t even consider touching me–why? Because I’ve got

FIRE RESIST TOTEM

A Warlock swoops in in Demon Form and tries to Conflag me but his Conflag does 0 damage to me because of

A Troll Mage Slowfalls in and he Pyroblasts me but it is ineffective because of

Blacksmith caps. I mount up on my KAEL’THAS MOUNT–no, literally, I ride Kael’thas around, the Blood Elf–and head over to Farm, because I feel like eating some potatoes.

POTATOES. BOIL 'EM, MASH 'EM, STICK 'EM IN A STEW. AND HEARTS. SHAMAN DESIRES PALADIN HEARRRRRRRTS.

Just then, I see something through my Sentry Totem. It’s the WoW General Forums! --People are complaining about how overpowered I am! They’re saying that Shamans need to be nerfed. I smirk.

That’s when I decide to take out my HAND OF RAGNAROS.

EIGHTY POINT FOUR DAMAGE PER SECONNNNND

I slam the Hand of Ragnaros down into the ground. Arathi Basin shatters like glass–the ground falls out from under me. The fabric of SPACE itself CRUMBLES beneath my feet. I cackle as I enter the REAL REALM, becoming a TRUE ENTITY existing ON THE PLANET EARTH. I am a Draenei walking around New York–the cops try to stop me, but they forget all about me when they take a gander at my

STONECLAW TOTEM

STONE AND CLAW COMBINED. CAN YOU TAKE IT?

But then, in the spaces between the gathering crowds, I see something. Someone. The smirk on my face deteriorates. … it’s one of the Horde. A Troll.

I thought I had destroyed Arathi Basin. I thought I had won the Battleground. But all that time–

–But all that time–…

… there he was. Just standing there. Regenerating 5, health,

per

second.

I glared at the Troll.

The Troll glared back at me.

Silence flooded the world.

“And there’s nothing you can do about it,” the Troll whispered.

You Awaken in Razor Hill.

A truly epic adventure, that took direction from the replies to the thread.
I go back and re-read it every now and then. Long, but well worth the time spent reading it.

#NoFlyNoBuy back in WoD.

Flying plays a big role in how I enjoy playing WoW, and the “compromise” we got made me question whether it’s worth buying each subsequent expansion since.

The “out with a blaze of glory” posts. There’s been a few. Basically someone raging about something/quitting and goes on a ToU violating rampage by pretty much breaking every rule there is. They usually get to about 300+ posts before the mods realise what’s going on and 404 it. But in the meantime its POPCORN CITY!

there was a thread about mcdonalds and titan fordging.
I’m sorry, mcfordging.

you walk into mcondalds… order 6 peice chicken nuggets. nice stuff.
a second person in line walks up to the cashier and orders the exact same thing BUT IT MCFORDGES!!
Mcfordged into a 10 piece with a large fry and a coke.
and you are standing there like a chump.

Top 10 Presit Concren

1)Heals Often priest need to cast heals in instance but problem is that once healed, warrior gets damaged mroe, and healing must continue

  1. Shadows In shadowform, when I cast laser spell, group always says heals but I cast laser pew! and then mrage says heals but he doesnt badage? wtf

  2. Itemization This is not a preist concern but in an instane scarlet monestary a staff drops and I roll need but shaman rolls need also, and wins, and this concerns me.

  3. That is all for now but there is often other concerns to be raised.

  4. Final concern is when I fear monsters then more come, but I fear them again, and even more friends of monsters come, I would think if I was walking around and someone came running by me I woudl run away too, not help them fight

This was on the Priest Forum. He has his own wowpedia page! https://wow.gamepedia.com/Exe

He was hilarious. Random people without a sense of humor posting criticizing him for being stupid was even funnier.

Most of my memorable ones come from the Death Knight forums.

There’s a certain individual who I’ll never forget due to their insane dedication to spouting demonstrably wrong information over the course of 3-4 expansions to justify asking for ridiculous things. It’s baffling for a while, but then it just gets hysterical. You have to try and imagine someone either conditioning themselves to believe the crap they’re spewing, or that they constantly sit there intentionally trying to find new ways to (poorly) spin an argument every time the cracks are pointed out. All over some pixels.

They once spent several pages telling others that I was a troll, and not to take me seriously because my transmog was green, and that meant I was an Unholy fanboy, and since the topic of the thread was Frost I was only trying to ruin the spec so Unholy could be better. To be clear, I was in Frost spec with this green mog while they made this accusation.

There’s this one guy who said “Agent the Tos” (Obviously supposed to be against the Tos) and somebody replied that with “Is watching you, beware.”.

This one where some salty Nighy elf player in BFA after the burning of teldrassil said that all the Night elf forestry zones should be given to the Night elves and made Alliance only including Azshara that’s right outside Orgrimmar lol. Basically anything that Night elves originally controlled before factions were even a thing.

Boy that must have been the saltiest person I have ever seen in forums me and some others got into a serious argument there with everyone against the idea lol.

First time I ran into an “I am the Warrior” post on the Warrior forums.

Granted, I found out later that it just gets pulled out every so often, but it was amazing the first time around for me.

I think I might actually still have that saved somewhere XD

My own “Just a little bit of a rant” forum thread is the post I will always remember.

Ghostcrawler’s “Dungeons are hard!”

FOUND IT! Still got my own personal copy of it on my computer, along with an accompanying post I entitled Classic Servers, The Cost Debate. My personal revised copy of The Wall dates back to July 2014 while my other post is January 2015.

Dare I post them for old times sake?

My post back in mop about blizzard not listening to feedback. It was called feedback on feedback I think.

These days, criticising blizzard is pretty common place, especially saying they dont listen to the players, but back then, it went over 1000 posts and wowhead even wrote about it to debate how Blizzard should use feedback.

Back then, blues also interacted more and responded when spoken to.
