    Question Thank you for playing World of Warcraft! You rock!

    I saw this as a loading screen tip tonight during the login server issues... Like... what the fuck?

    What, you want grander platitudes?

    "F*ck you for playing World of Warcraft" is better.

    It's... a bit weird.

    It almost sounds desperate. But whatever... It's just a loading screen tip. I'll be weirded out fully if they fully implemented that type of stuff in the game.

    Mate, it is called, appreciation. You know, when they try to show you that they are happy that you play the game.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    Using the tooltip of the loadingscreen for something else entirely is nothing new.

    One of my fondest memories of playing vanilla is when i was about level 20, questing in redridge and uppon login saw the following tooltip:
    "A paladin, a priest and a dreadlord walk into a bar..."

    Post like this seriously make me question the human race. It's called customer appreciation.... It's not a new concept.... Do you by chance get upset when the people at Walmart or any other store say "Thank you for shopping with us"? I mean cmon guy.....

    They lost a whole bunch of the loading screen tips because they removed the abilties or functions they referred to.... had to replace it with something so you wouldn't see the same 2 tips in rotation.
    When I was younger I used to hope bad things wouldn't happen.
    Now I just hope they're at least funny when they do.

    Seriously. This is why we can't have nice things.

    I was doing some shopping the other day and I paid with my ATM card and when I was done, a little message popped up on the device and it said: "Have a nice day!" In that moment, I just knew the company was mocking me while taking my hard earned money and that they were soulless, lying, evil plotting, children devouring, desperate villains. I felt so helpless.

    I think he saw that more as, literally, a "wtf" moment thing, not as a "wew this shit sucks gimme back vanilla xdxdxd"
