What is your Lame Claim to Fame in WoW?

The first duel I ever had, way back in Vanilla when I was a little gnome, was against Nodomino, who would go on to hold rank 14 (Grand Marshall) status for a record 2 plus years back in the OG Honor grind.

Iā€™m the guy who used to give away free healthstones by the Mage Tower entrance during the closing days of Legion. Someone made a screenshot of my /yell macro and posted it to r/wow and got like 2k upvotes I think. I commented in it and got Reddit Gold. You can find it by searching ā€œProps to this dudeā€ in r/wow.

Thatā€™s it tbh.

I used to be in the best guild on a server and everyone would be peepin my gear when I afkā€™d in a city. But my real 15 minutes of fame was in the water dungeon in Cata on the first boss. The tank got knocked up and was falling to his death and I life gripped him out of the air. Everyone (including me) was in awe of how clutch that was. It was almost deffinetly all of our first times seeing that spell save someoneā€™s life since it was introduced during that expac and it was only like a week into it.

So you guys remember Kosumoth from Legion? I was with the secret discord group who inadvertently found him and by sheer chance I happened to be the one to click the final orb first. Not on this character, but I was that monk who did it.

Broadcasted the message and my name across the entire NA region. Iā€™ve never been flooded with so many curious whispers before than that night. :sweat_smile:

It got Invincible on my third day attempting.

Not really Fame or anything but I remember during BFA pre-patch when people were PvPing on Darkshore in Raids I was using the Net-O-Matic 5000 to shoot Alliance off of their Mounts when they tried to sit in the air to Plan out how to fight our Raid. Ended up finding out that one of the people I shot out of the sky was a popular WoW Streamer and I ended up getting them killed by dismounting them into the Army of Horde below. I have to admit finding it out a bit later into the fight was funny and some what embarrassing for me since everyone saw it.

I Tanked two LFR groups to a Nā€™Zoth kill.

Back in the day on Uldaman I was the first with DragonWrath.

My claim to fame is kind of lame.

Nah, Iā€™ve got nothing despite playing for 14 years. At best, I can say I have the Hand of Aā€™dal title, or I can say I got Midnight in the original Karazhan and never had to farm it, but Iā€™m pretty much a nobody in WoW. And I donā€™t really think thatā€™ll change, given I donā€™t really have a drive for notoriety.

I seem to be known on Moon Guard. Canā€™t say if that is a good thing or a bad thing. lol

I have no idea who you are! But Iā€™m like 80% Horde :laughing:

Soā€¦ Do you still need to do the hard mode for that sword?

Yep :laughing:

I own the title for most time spent on the game without anything to show for it.

I sh!t my pants while I play. World record holder.

Itā€™s not in-game WoW, but I got published in the World of Warcraft Tribute book and was invited to San Diego Comic-Con to sign the book at the Blizzard booth. :slight_smile: They even printed my name on a special card to sign if people didnā€™t have the book or wanted the inside signed.
