Passive-aggressive human male paladin is what he is.
The stereotypes and memes really do write themselves.
It’s whatever. Y’all are a miserable bunch, and died on your hill already.
No it isn’t.
The full completion text of Broken Compass:
"Hello, are you here to buy herbs?
Oh, what’s that, a compass? It certainly looks familiar.
That idiot.
He was always seeking his fortune somewhere and never finding it. Completely useless here at home, too. Couldn’t keep an herb alive to save his life.
You know what? I’m glad he’s lost at sea. Leave him there.
Here, I’ll even give you his stash of Azerite, he would hate that.
Finally free to pursue my own interests, now that’s a breath of fresh air. I wonder if Kirsty’s still available…"
Thanks for playing.
The quest starts because you get a “cracked and extremely rusty” compass.
He got lost a long time ago (ergo “extremely rusty”) but his Azerite stash was still in Flora’s possession.
The bait is strong.
False.
“<A compass found on a stranded pirate, it no longer functions. The metal and craftsmanship indicate an origin in Stormwind.>”
It no longer functions. It doesn’t say why.
Even if it did say rusty, it was found at sea. Salt water rusts many metals extraordinarily quickly. We’re talking hours, days tops.
You’re wrong. Stop digging.

You people are unbelievable.

Nah, you’re wrong. This is such a stupid thing to argue over too.
You can keep trying to grasp at it but I agree with the Tauren.
You’re wrong. You lost, get out. 
You people are unbelievable.
It also says it was held by a pirate, implying that it washed up when the owner was shipwrecked.
It doesn’t take years for things to rust.
Learn how rust works.
You can test this yourself at home.
Fill a bowl with water.
Put salt in the water.
Put a nail in the water for an hour.
Take it out but don’t dry it completely.
It will have rust by tomorrow.
It’s amusing to see the hills some people will die on.

So you wanna say that rust took 6 months or 30 years?
Either way, that’s a long time to have Azerite before it was discovered!
Amazing!
It’s alright if you’re a bit rusty with WoW yourself! You probably didn’t know this nugget of lore! How embarrassing!

It took longer than six months from the start of BFA for that quest to exist.
Let’s say it took six months. I guarantee you can rust a metal compass in under six months.
You have this way of just dismissing people’s comments on how their classes feel to them just because you enjoy the game and enjoy your class.
I’ve seen you doing this for awhile now, Metro. In fact I would say it seems like a very childlike outlook on things. You enjoy a class but someone else might not.
That’s not a refutable statement, that’s a fact about human beings.
I really don’t know how someone with such a lack of empathy became a forum MVP.

You can guarantee all you want, I don’t care.
It’s been mathematically proven that a compass as EXTREMELY RUSTED as that one will take quite longer than your little garage experiment.
Sorry 
Okay, say that you can prove objectively 100% that this compass was dropped into Azeroth’s ocean after Azerite was discovered… does that mean BfA had overall good lore and story?
Legit, the story was terrawful whether they correctly wrote about a single nautical instrument’s submersion or not.
That isn’t my point. I said BFA was bad. In a way that is much more descriptive and correct than either you or the crying bear.
The crying bear just wants to cry. Even if what he wants to cry about is provably made up.
Just because I agree that BFA is bad doesn’t mean I have to sit by and let people tell lies.

He’s right about bears being in a horrible state at BfA launch though. The one thing he was maybe wrong on was how long a compass had been underwater… His overall statement that the story is bad was true.
False.
He claimed that every class was drastically changed and pruned.
You are lying about something that you can scroll up and see.
The classes were drastically changed though. That was kind of the whole thing going from Legion to BfA.
In some cases it worked out and in many cases it did not. Blizzard simply didn’t have the time to make it work for everyone.
As for “lying”… come on dude. We aren’t kindergartners.

it is substantially better than it was 6+ months ago
I’m sure BFA is fine if you start the entire expansion right now and go through it, but if you began in 8.0 you’re probably a lot more salty. azerite gear was a constant grind for traits you already had on lower ilvl pieces, cost to switch traits got high really fast, same dungeons for M+ the entire expansion, story makes no sense, large amount of time between pathfinder 1 and 2, 8.3 endgame is assaults, visions, repeat. there’s a bunch of other things too i’m sure, but in no way is it better than legion.
