What, you want grander platitudes?
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
"F*ck you for playing World of Warcraft" is better.
- Cynical person.
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.
Yeah I know right? I went to Walmart yesterday and they had the AUDACITY to say "Thank you for shopping at Walmart" How desperate are they?
Errrr now they can't even compliment you for playing their game? Aight
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..."
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.
> Blizzard directly thanks players for playing their game.
> Player complains.
Good job internet.

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.
Someone always has to find something to whinge about.
I think he saw that more as, literally, a "wtf" moment thing, not as a "wew this shit sucks gimme back vanilla xdxdxd"
