Those that get tore up about curse words crack me up. So you are torn up about words that were deemed to cause a curse by the Catholic Church during the Plague? Seriously, most of these words were just normal every day words until that time when the church convinced people that using these certain words could cause the Plague ( aka the Curse) to be contracted. Congrats you are offended by something that was born out stupidity.
WoW is one of the places definately, you just cant blindly say it is not.
Besides, kids these days dont watch movies, they dont go to playgrounds, nor hang out.
Their focus these days is FB, online games, mobile games.
What Im trying to appeal for is toning down all that cursing, namecalling for the sake of young, to make them better persons with respect for people around them.
just stop talking, youv demonstrated your out of touch with reality if you think kids dont go to the playground in grade school, and if you think they dont hang out and if you think they dont see movies. Your a dillusional person living in some magical world. its not going away.
This is the reason why I avoid pugging at all costs: Thin-skinned people that will take everything personally and cause drama to no end. In my experience, both in and outside the game, these kind of people are the most self-conscious and immature and will attempt to cause as much uproar and involve as many uninvolved people as possible into the drama because their feelings were hurt.
I stick to raid or m+ groups formed within my guild since we can be as profane towards each other as we want because we are all "in on it", and we answer each other in kind instead of whipping up a can of butthurt.
Reporting does actually. Back in cata, I've called someone "gay" (like literally "He is gay"; not faggot or anything worse) and got a 72h chat mute. So it does help, you just need to report.
Turn the damn profanity filter on. It's suppose to be on by default anyway. If you can't handle a few swear words, don't leave your house.
I'll be honest here, why hasn't a MOD done anything to this thread yet?
A player in a Battleground once told me to hang myself with barbed wire. He also hoped that my children would die of cancer after I'm dead. All because I didn't agree with his tactic of risking our stable 3 bases in Arathi Basin in an attempt to get a fourth base. I forgot to report him, because I didn't care.
Why would they? You're right, why WOULD they?
They SHOULD close this thread, cause...seriously...all the OP needs to do is man up, or turn on the filter. He really shouldn't speak for everyone in regards to an MMO, where EVERYONE swears, even the NPCs.

Yep. Thanks for that info Crunch. People talk shit to people all the time. It's a game. People do this in CoD, Gmod, and more. But, in WOW, why should people complain?
Kids play FPS games all the time, and they hear swears either when they play wither their parents, or when they join a Voice-chat. Yet you complain on WOW OP? Lol?
Exactly, you are playing with like-minded people in closed society environment. And thats fine, you are not influencing strangers in pug, since you dont know them. You are protected yourself from thinskinned people and in the same time they are protected from you. Win-win.
LOL YOUR IN THE MILITARY!?!?!?
no one swears more then someone in the military, growing up around navy and air cadets aswell as a few soldiers, they swear alot...
also your kids swear
a fuck ton
just not infront of you
just like how you "think" your kids never masterbate, i mean you have never seen em do it so they must not do it
Hm, you obviously missed my motivation (which I explained) for this "crusade" on swearing and namecalling.
But, I will repeat, its about children getting in WoW infested with namecalling/swearing and thinking its normal behavior in real world, not me personally.
Also, it is not only WoW in question, such behaviour infested all online games, but this is WoW forum, so I cant talk about other games, can I?
Im happy if only one person who red this thread took a minute to think about what Im saying and decided to change his mind about swearing being "cool". Stop thinking only about yourselves and make some thing for young ones.
well of corse but he tried to play it off as "my english isnt very good so i dident know what word to use other then fucking"

the game is not for kids, it fucking says it on the box
its your fault if you let your kids play a online game too old for your kids, and dont turn on the mature filter
your a bad parent
"i mean i let my kid watch this movie called "pizza delivery gone extra meaty" and it says rated R but whatever it keeps them shut up... wait, its porn? im going to sue the porn industry!!!"
again, you dont see your kids swearing, but they are, alot, kids learn swears usually before they even learn what that thing between their legs does
and your not gunna stop it, the best thing to do is not to hide them from it, and try to coddle them like infants, its to teach them what they mean, and why they shouldent say them "as in why you dont tell somone to fuck themselves, and you dont say fuck in school" as in some pople (like you) can be extremely over sensitive and have a shit fest over a word
and if you dont want their precious little minds being hurt by the big bad swear words
dont put them into games too old for them...
i bet you bought you little 8 year old resident evil 7 too "i mean the number 7 is lower then his age 8... so it must be good for him right?"
