What requested ideas do you hate most on these forums?

Exactly. That is how you make them non-toxic.

Though I would like the warlock tank spec back.

I hate the number of posts pertaining to sexuality/gender.

There’s a lot of issues with the game that need to be fixed yet those seem to be literally half of what you see on the forums now.

Any posts that are not game related.

Political ones annoy me the worst.
Someone telling me that eating digital meat is bad.
Posts that say he/she pronoun offends them.
New races.
Wpvp complaints. (pst: turn it off)

That’s a good idea.

I think it’d give players that are aging and can’t or don’t want to keep up with raiding/mythic something else to do, to achieve.

Good idea there.

Op,removing lust/time warp from mages.

Another troll bait thread. :roll_eyes:

They wouldn’t explode.

LOL. For lore wise, a holy undead priest should explode too.

That would mean
 Draenei lightforged shadowpriests would
 implode??

Holy undead shouldn’t exist but because of gameplay reasons they do. Blizzard decided it wouldn’t be fair to make undead priests be forced to take Shadow.

Incorrect.

As per the devs: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Ask_CDev
Can you please explain how “light” works? The lore states that undead are physically incapable of using the light, much like the Broken, but then we have Forsaken players casting healing spells, and Sir Zeliek in Naxxramas using pseudo-paladin abilities.

Without spoiling too much, we can tell you that wielding the Light is a matter of having willpower or faith in one’s own ability to do it. That’s why there are evil paladins (for example, the Scarlet Crusade and Arthas before he took up Frostmourne). For the undead (and Forsaken), this requires such a great deal of willpower that it is exceedingly rare, especially since it is self-destructive. When undead channel the Light, it feels (to them) as if their entire bodies are being consumed in righteous fire. Forsaken healed by the Light (whether the healer is Forsaken or not) are effectively cauterized by the effect: sure, the wound is healed, but the healing effect is cripplingly painful. Thus, Forsaken priests are beings of unwavering willpower; Forsaken (and death knight) tanks suffer nobly when they have priest and paladin healers in the group; and Sir Zeliek REALLY hates himself.


There is no explosion. There is pain. It requires a high amount of willpower to accomplish this. Forsaken priests do exist in lore, they’re not just shadow priests. I don’t know where this incorrect lore is coming about, but this is an actual source. Sir Zelik is an example of an actual paladin utilizing the light as undead. Whether or not that would be common enough to be a class is a different story (doubtful?), but it definitely does exist. I think holy priests use less magic than paladins? (not confirmed) Light and death are not opposite forces, also as per lore on the magic wheel:

As for the other instances of incorrect lore on this thread, I’m not going to put effort into arguing and putting the time of day into someone I do not feel like engaging.

You just popped my happy bubble. Thx.

I think the idea, at least the idea that holy is harmful to an undead caster, comes from D&D. At least, that’s where my idea of that comes from.

If it helps, the chances of there being undead paladins are pretty low, since while it doesn’t technically harm, it’s super super super super painful (poor DK tanks
 ow)

And yeah I think that idea came from DnD, Wow Swapped it up a bit.

I think (and I could be incorrect here) mixing void and light = explosion, but then again
 looks at Disc priests in utter confusion

stares back What about it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Darn I went in game for a second to look and I sincerely can’t find it, but there was a description once saying that disc utilizes light & void as a balance in combat, which fascinated me. Now I can’t find the lore where I saw that, they changed the spec descriptions :sob: I know I saw it though somewhere as the spec description before things changed, but I’d need to find the source to confirm it. I hate not having a source.

Edit: Ok so kind of?

" Discipline priests are a powerful force on the battlefield, balancing the powers of Light and Shadow to assail enemies and assist allies in equal measure. While capable of reactive healing, Discipline priests truly come into their own when able to proactively bless their allies with [Atonement] via [Power Word: Radiance], [Shadow Mend], or [Power Word: Shield] in anticipation of incoming damage. With their allies touched by the Light, a well-prepared Discipline priest is free to visit the [Light’s Wrath] on their unfortunate enemies, using spells such as [Smite] and [Penance] to simultaneously damage foes and unleash powerful burst healing."

" Some priests pride themselves on pragmatism. They understand that light casts a shadow, that darkness is defined by light, and that true discipline stems from one’s ability to balance these opposing powers in services of a greater cause. While these priests possess many holy virtues to aid their allies, they also dabble in the dark arts to debilitate their enemies—always exercising immense discipline to keep themselves away from the brink of insanity. Many would say the ends justify the means; scriptures both virtuous and vile should be studied and understood to protect the congregation."

And this is from: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Priest#Discipline

But see I don’t know if “Shadow” means “void” in this instance because that’s kinda changed? Therefore, I’m kinda confused on disc lore, I would say, because if “shadow” means “void” in this instance, than they are using opposite magics together as a balance, but we’ve seen that usually causes an explosion (I think? And that would be based on the alleria and turylon (no idea spelling) debacle?)

Edit 2: 
 I’m a derp. It says right there on the chart I linked: Shadow (Void). 
 
 Wow I feel like a fool for not seeing that, hahaha

No, lore wise they neither should explore nor do they explode. They aren’t void, undead are death. Death and Light are allowed to mix, with only non-physical negative impacts.

There are plenty of undead that utilize the light. There are also quite a handful of undead paladins.

Top three reoccurring ones are AH changes, “deleting” Raider IO, and penalty for leaving M+.

Heck, I was just going to say that - it’s beyond annoying

I usually have the most issue with faux Druids requests, this sort of thing happens though when folks get into a class because of numbers/performance over enjoying the actual class fantasy.

So many choices but no, lets play as the shapeshifter class but then request all shapeshifting be removed and other ridiculous things.

Next most annoying would be half-race requests which are just people wanting to be a human with different ears 9 out of 10 times.
