What is your Lame Claim to Fame in WoW?

Some minor Addons.

Other then that nothing thats made me famous. Though there are plenty of things that I’m happy to have achieved. 97% parse on this toon this week, The insane title, and Loremaster. Those are the ones that pop in my head anyway.

I invented Mailbox dancing

With me it’s ,“That mage” or “You’re not a holy paladin your a mage” :pleading_face:

Someone posted a thread in the forums about my pvp priest being the best on the server. That was a long time ago.

I was sort of infamous on Stormrage for a few years for running For the Horde raid groups fairly often.

It was a little awkward how some people treated me differently just because I ran raid groups for that achievement frequently.

there was a time (before CRZ) that i liked going on an alliance alt, and “Kicking the Hornets Nest” if you will, trolling them. and most of them knew who my main was (this guy), and id cause large groups come to Org and start big pvp fights.

i was on a LOT of KOS lists back then… does that count?

The official WoW Twitter usually responds to me every time I @ them when posting a silly screenshot of my character in the game, but I realized that they’ve actually looked through my Fallout-based Twitter page because they made a reference to it in their most recent reply to me. It was wholesome :blush:

I’ve been posting pro Garrosh stuff on this guy since wrath

Not gunna say blizz stole my name but Garrosh has a certain BlackRock orc who worshipped him as well

I once kicked off a tauren mill open world PVP skirmish that lasted 6 hours back in vanilla . granted those skirmishes happened all the time ( almost daily ) but they never lasted 6 hours.

i may or may not have stalked and killed rare hunter spawns that were being streamed… i definitely don’t have a stack of the crystalline tears of loyalty in my bank…

Back before Cataclysm revamped and added flying to the Vanilla zones, I climbed to the top of Blackrock Mountain.

Tortollians exist because of me.

I had 100’s of players messaging me after a post I made blew up after requesting some kind of punishment for people who left skirmishes and bgs early. It got a blue response and a ton of discussion. A week later deserter was added to the game. Made for a fun few weeks as randoms were messaging me saying I had ruined duels because they could no longer reset their cds in skirmishes.

I do not think I have a claim to fame in WoW at all. I remember back in Cataclysm being the only Shaman poster that actually liked Telluric Currents and recommended taking it over instantcast Ghost Wolf. I also frequently posted on how healers should contribute to DPS, which was practically heresy back then, but I cannot make any claim to be THE original healer who could also DPS during a fight. I am just a loud forum poster who usually should not be listened to.

Not in WoW, but in Blizzard.

I predicted the Stettman as a zerg commander with the simulant skins ages before it happened.

If we want to walk about outside of WoW stuff, I am responsible for Symmetra’s turret reowork in Overwtach. A dev started a thread on the forums asking for suggestions on improving Symmetra and I posted about her having no range cap on placing her turrents. A few more posters responded about autohitting powers, but I made a point that Moria could already fire off autotargeting damage with her orb during a fight. During the next Symmetra rework, she had the turrets she has today that travel until they hit a wall.
