You didn’t do a secret santa and I guess I just didn’t catch it in time. I hope you’re proud of yourselves. It’s the jolliest time of the year and you’re really showing your true, festive spirit by NOT giving gifts. I guess anyone who is still subbed will just have to live with whatever recycled gift blizzard throws out this year. Happy freaking holidays.
Im sure a lot of you would have liked to get gifts, too. Even the bad ones. It’s still a gift that someone picked out for you, you know? Im pretty sure someone sent Gentarn a heap of garbage last year and he probably still would have participated this year because, dang it, that’s what we do around here. We give out crappy gifts and we like it. Sometimes we give out good gifts, too. Lots of battle pets find new owners through secret santa. Think of all the pets who are still stuck in Zunde’s journal, never to see the light of day with no hope for tomorrow. Wouldn’t they have enjoyed a moment or two with you before you forgot about them? Yes, they would have.
But not this year. This year you crossed a line. This year you threw up your hands and shook your head. Too good for secret santa, you thought. Too good for holiday cheer.
Well, now you’re being punished.
There is no secret santa this year, but there will be something else, and it won’t be fun. But you have to do it. So sign up below and prepare for your doom.

What?
Is me riding sleigh or flying mount around Orgrimmar sky, yelling “Santa Clause is coming to town” and various other whacko nonsenses, not enough atmosphere enchantment?

WrA has almost always done a Secret Santa. I think there was only a handful of us last year that participated at the last minute.
I hooked someone up with a blue jeweled panther mount. I can’t remember who it was, but they seemed happy, which made me happy.
This was my present: https://imgur.com/1hclJhk
I’ve had some grand adventures with Ella this past year in Azeroth.
I’m sad to say I completely forgot about it this year, but now I too must send everyone who posts in this thread something.
I’ll /roll to send one of you randos a legit nice gift.

I legitimately had no idea this was a thing, lol! And the name of that pet is fantastic.
Also, no need for anyone to send me anything! My reply was legitimately just a joke(-ish) since I’d never heard of it before.

Years ago someone with the character named Sara, I think, did the SS. Then they forgot one year so I did it, then they did it, then I did it again, and I think Baitan organized it last year.
Unofficially, I don’t blame anyone for not doing it this year. Plenty of us are not subbed.
Officially, you’re all going to hell.

Honestly. As a person who struggles with hyperfocus caused by asbergers, the lawsuit coming out. Alongside the everlooming anxiety of social exclusion and pseudo helplessness when it came to getting my rp characters good story stuff did something I have never ever done. It made me quit a WoW and uninstall the game.
I used to have such passion for wow. I can say with great pride that I have met people through this game I will never regret meeting. But with BFA’s ending and shadowlands dragging on. I kinda just felt the passion of creating beautiful art and memories slowly start to flicker out, and resentment build. Not just for the game, but sometimes even other players. Nobody seemed really… happy anymore. Sure sometimes it would fade away, then a flare up of excitement would happen. Then it would sputter out.
At times I felt my will to interact was a laboring beast, of which labored for each breath.
Where once I could write big stories and paragraphs of text. I would now struggle to write even a sentence.
Eventually, my will to play fizzled out with the lawsuit. I uninstalled the game, and don’t intend to reinstall. My only regret is that I didn’t tell a lot of my friends of my absence

I was one of those people.
For far longer than I should have, all I did was dunk on the people just trying to have a good time, to my shame.
I grew up and out of that phase though. While I don’t play any longer (and gestures at everything means Blizzard is now the second game developer I am personally boycotting), I still enjoy the WrA community enough I’m probably going to always lurk.
I just regret I didn’t opt for one of my better Mogs to end on.

I was assured they would arrive on time this year, unlike that situation at Southshore where they were over six months late.
That one wasn’t me, by the way.

Exactly one of the mogs I was wistfully thinking about. My Legion days were some of my best Mogs.
