I think too much talk of idiots, we know they exist, I come in contact with at least 20 a day on wow. Build a bridge, get over it.
I was in a PuG once where the leader asked me if I could heal. I kindly pointed out that I was a mage, to which he replied "yes, u a mage" followed by "so can u heal?" And yes, this was at lvl 80.

.o_à INDEED.
"Trolls and Tauren will hold tea party rallies, claiming Garrosh to be a socialist muslim dictator."
Yeah I guess some people are missing a few screws in their heads, but what can you expect? We got what, 12 million people playing this game was it? For every brain thats spilling astro physics out of his head, there's a guy who's never read a book in his life. I've been playing this game since WoW release and I've seen my share too.
One thing before ridiculing someone though... A hunter asking you whether strength is the main stat may not exactly be experienced with this game. He might be a lvl 5 hunter and really new! Last night I saw a guy level up from 30 to 60 in two seconds and earned 20 different achievements along with it. It was crazy, but there are hacks now apparently that let people get to top levels really fast... My point: some top levels now may be noobs... lol. Names that are spelled incorrectly too... what if the name was already taken and they didn't have an option? I wanted to name one of my alts "Midnight," but since it was already taken I named him "Midnyte." Doesn't have to mean that I'm illiterate/dumb. Healers not healing, DPSers being ignorant... well I agree with you and a lot of peeps out there; they need to get /facepalmed.
I reckon half of the OP's list is people trolling. Which is sad... But hey it's the internet.
So why should we not have a discussion about it on a discussion forum? The whole thread was in good fun, and thats it. Build your bridge, get ove the fact that this thread exists. Don't like it? Don't have to read it right? I'm only responding to you because I feel like it. :-)
Don't always type the first thing that comes to your thoughts.
Tank kicks me (healer) out of an Old Kingdom group because he doesn't understand that he's taking damage from the ability he's neglecting to interrupt.
Troll McCarthyism is sad
Was in a group with a warrior who couldn't AoE tank if his life depended on it, and sucked pretty bad at single-target too. He had full ICC gear with a shield from the actual raid, meaning he had some raiding experience, or, at the very least, bought his account from someone who did.
When I asked him why he didn't use Rend and Thunderclap, he replied:
"Rend is only good every 10 sec when it stuns people."
"Also, why use Thunderclap when I have Shockwave?"
I was running a random heroic, and it turns out to be ToC. So we're going and we kill the first 2 bosses, and i finally noticed that a Tauren DK was rolling need on everything. I called him out and he goes, "lol i don't care if you dun lik it you can kik me"
So he promptly got dropped from group for reason, "Douche".
We lawled and i dps tanked the black knight and we won 4 man no prob. Tards abound.
I was pulling allot of aggro one time off a tank, so I checked out his gear. I then noticed he didn't have very good gear. So I said 'Ok, thats fine, I will just tone it down a bit.". So I do this, and I still pull off the tank. I keep toning down my dps so much, that I need to start auto attacking. Guess what, I still pulled aggro from this "tank".
So I said "Fuck it!" I rend, thunderclap, sweeping strikes, and bladestorm the hell out of the adds. Anyways, I die. Then I ask the priest why he let me die so slowly without a heal, he said "Learn to control your fucking aggro!".
Funny since I never had that problem before with pulling aggro off a tank, going balls out, let alone pulling aggro with my auto attacks. Figured the healer would you know, heal the group. But he refused to heal me, then when we got to the tunnel in POS, he quit the group, and we wiped.
Gotta love dumb healers, and oblivious tanks. But even when I toned my dps down, auto attacking, I was still pulling more dps than either one of them in the group.
Well, I guess I'll tell mine from yesterday...
I had already done the 4 elemental bosses and quests on my alt... but I was farming them for the shield that drops... I had started waiting 10 seconds at the start so everyone could pick up the quest, I did that, then started pulling... by the 3rd trash pack on the wind dude, someone was like... "WAIT A SECOND DICK STOP TRYING TO GREIF YOU WORTHLESS IDIOT"... I found it funny he was raging and that 10 seconds wasn't long enough for him to pick up the quest, so I decided to go ahead and pull the boss too... well, turns out no one picked up the quest and everyone was cussing me and said "Well fine, you kill him alone then"... So I did, and 2 minutes later "That just proves paladins are overpowered, scrub".
Maybe I'll start allowing 5 minutes to pick up the quest?
With one idiot every 100 normal people (like it is everywhere) and 12 million players you get 120.000 idiots. It has nothing to do with wow. It has to do with the human race.
Atoms are liars, they make up everything!
How many of those ppl were serious? I'm pretty sure the mage for example was just messing with you because he was bored or w/e.
OP- You sir, need to unplug from the game for a couple months and let reality sink in. This is a game, yes there are plenty of flighty, dumb and retarded people out there but attempting to judge intelligence from video game prowess is...well...dumb.
Some people actually play the game as a game and never really invest themselves into it like, for example, you do. I do also. Some people have kids who log on and play. Do you think my 8 year old gives a fuck about stats? All he cares about is running around hunting wabbits.
Don't let your emotions run you son.
