My most traumatizing moment in WOW was trying to unlock the Nightborne when reputation was required. This was a problem for me because I didn’t have flying unlocked, the zone was a pain to navigate, and there were just so many quests to do for one single achievement. I would stay up and spend a lot of my time just trying to unlock them. I’d stay up till 12 am or maybe even 3 am, to unlock the race. I’d get eye sores and even bloodshot eyes sometimes headaches. And you wanna know the worse part? I don’t even play them,

I once got keylogged back in wrath. We were also raiding ICC, I was OT, so that really sucked.
I also once waited for Poundfist to spawn for roughly 6 hours. I did not see Poundfist. I still dont have that mount. Worst waste of a Sunday and I never did something like that again.
The Diaper Gnome Incident.
Similar situation to the druids where people think they are furry perverts, they think mechagnomes have a diaper kink.
Not so much as traumatizing as it is bothersome.
Healer Mage Tower when it was current content. I still have PTSD over that thing and I will never get the book mount because of that.

Having to solo "I came, I clawed, I conquered during WoD because tags were not shared at the time. It gave me wrist problems.
Gifted 6 month sub and having zero desire to play.
Taming the netherdrake in netherstorm during Burning Crusade. Waiting days for it to spawn, circling the same pattern 100’s of times. He finally shows up, freeze him, start to tame him, but he’s hitting me pretty hard. I was just about on the line to finish taming him and it kills me. As soon as i die, another hunter swoops in and tames him. I was salty AF for days.

What is your most traumatizing moment in WOW?
Launching the game after vanilla.
Me and my friend being the sole reason our guild in Legion actually managed to down any bosses in Emerald Nightmare, due to us jointly being about 70% of the entire raid’s dps. We couldn’t even beat Ursoc
I ended up taking an extended vacation about a month into EN and didn’t come back until just before 8.3
