I'd explain my legacy of a time when I became so big around here I was quoted on the majority of WoW related sites and if people hated or enjoyed my commentary anyone who was informed had heard of me or had read a post by me. And if you hadn't you were fucking illiterate, didn't play ret or lived undera rock since my threads were the literal go to reference and discussion thread / threads that sate as the #1 Paladin subsection thread for 4 years of good times and crazy antics.
I got away with some crude shit in there. Older posters will recall some of the errrrr.. Lenient treatment I was shown by mods and Boub when I would ern.... .do and say Anaxie things.
it was fun and something special. But it's mostly evident you're a holy paladin so how would you know. It's okay though you get to meet a celebrity now so you didn't miss on something that you never knew you wanted on you're bucket list. You can PM me for an autograph later this week. I'm not around much anymore sweet cheeks.

false
I ain't because I didn't RNG Titanforge enough willpower to give a fuck about playing WoW this year.
WoD fucked up the games reward structure Hardcore
Legion took it beyond what I thought possible to the point the only thing I could do was hysterical laughter and satisfaction at reinforcement at my decision to retire last year.
RNG with RNG for RNG with a side chance of RNG to affect your
~ Reward Structure
~ performance
~ customization
Is just what the fuck inducing this never should of happened.
Then you mix that now as many mythic raiders know the norm thanks to locks being removed is to do Heroic oreven a split double heroic clear AND mythic progression week in week out and now legion is grind central where if you don't play multiple hours every day or devote time to WoW VS another game in free time VS Legion you are going to fall behind the curb. OR you donate all time and fall behind regardless because of RNG fiesta banaza!
It's asinine and I won't do it.
Heres a story about why the WoD RNG is loath more than I should.
I'm notoriously unlucky
This manifested in WoD. now in my guild is go all out so pretty much i had every single possible aquireable BEST item Stat/ ratio / Boe is didn't mater. everything in my power i accomplished.
and then procedded to be buttfucked by our raid ALL THE WAY TO 6.1 HFC
Dropping Zero trinkets across HFC / HM
of coining or Cacheing zero or complete dumpster quality items
Lets not even talk about that fact I never saw a single socket wf or anything for personal rewards.
This was hinted to not be a good time. WHen I recall WoD launch. That trinket in auchindoun Gorefiend drops I think.
it took me what? 50 fucking runs to get it. OH boy I had no idea what kind of prelude of joy that experience was leading towards. Fiddly dee!
Now keep in mind I'm ret! and we know how ret works especially with trinket dependency.
I had to sit myself out of just KNOWING I was a hinderance to the guild. all the other melee had coined and cached the items that we.. for 6 months. never saw.
So 14 months of Siege and Freetime. Mixed by changes to the WoD RNG system wasting my time and devaluing my experience to gutter levels nevermind burnout. Legions gonna force more burnout so it's like ya know sad.
WoW my at one time pride joy and love of gaming is a sickening shadow I never care to experience again because of design choices.
That and I am so much happier without dealing with the infuriating incompetence of ret design. At this point I'm sure we expect a running joke and inept beta development. if it doesn't happen THERE IS A PROBLEM.
I'll never play again. They took a system that wasn't broken was based on numbers skill and perfection with an end goal.. They just threw this right the fuck out the window and injected more RNG than the fucking powerball into it and said there now thats FUN.
It was so unfun for me it helped burn me out and leave a game I expected to be with until the game shut down at its eventual finale.

Jesus.....
he do has a point. not your skill decided WoD but your luck. T17 set bonus, WF, Sockets all pure luck
Never heard of you , dont know you, so whats the big deal
sometimes the mods are pretty strict on the rules, but other times they aint.
it's astounding how this thread is not closed yet.
This is just Anaxie at his finest. Even going back to my Antonidas days, he hasn't changed. I find it rather amusing. He is/was a staple of the paladin community, though. Some people just have their unique ways of showing their dissatisfaction with the game.
You don't get the joke behind the thread name and the content inside. Don't worry it's an inside joke for veteran community rets only.

Atleast my rant is true.
If someone enjoyed having all their sockets removed from gear and this... titanforge clusterfuck. Well gods have mercy on them because they sure as hell showed none to me and it drained my soul.
