[Deleted]

Poll is pretty obvious - try not to turn thread itself into flame war please.

...Unless I fail at creating a poll, I'm drunk after all.

Try again then, apparently this forum creates thread first, then you have to create poll o.O

Speaking as a Vanilla elementary schooler, I look down upon not only the Wrath babies, but also the TBC kindergartners and the Cata embryos.

I just find much of the WoW slang stupid beyond belief. From the words scrub to noob to Wrath babies.

Next Cluck here is going to regale us with epic adventures as a retribution paladin way back in the original Naxx days. :P

Who cares what you call them?:P Wrath babies, bads, scrubs.. it's all the same.

Obviously they are bad players all the same and can't play their class or work with others properly. Since they stand out as a group from the rest of the players, they are bound to get some name anyway.

Haha "Cata embryos" gotta remember that one

[Verdris]

Imo, define "Wrath Baby" as the following: People who started playing in WotLK and outright refuse to change their playing style and adapt to the mechanics of Cataclysm, instead getting upset that they can't faceroll everything and complain on forums about how hard heroics are.

There's a difference between "Wrath Babies" and "People who started playing in WotLK".

Because scrub and noob was invented in wow, is only used in WoW and never anwhere else.

A pretty funny post

I do not like the wrath baby term at all, and i in fact am going to have to check with my high-ups about it being allowed here. Alas, I get kicked and called a wrath baby, not because of my unwillingness to do CC (To elaborate, i will gladly do CC, it is nessicary), but because my heroic dps is subpar :-\

I don't think a term like that should be banned, I use it to describe myself.

There's a difference between talking about "wrath babies" when making a point and calling another person a wrath baby. Using it to insult a specific person is wrong, but people who come into a thread about wrath babies just to get their feelings hurt need to get over it.

you did indeed fail =\

I'd edit and rethink what you just said....Thats an infraction....of the rules!

Anyways....

I think its a pretty offensive term. Of course its offensive! Its calling people "babies!" If it were "Wrathies" or something it wouldn't be derogatory at all.

I don't think of it being very offensive, but I do find it obnoxious. Even though I started at the end of vanilla, I know plenty of people who started in wrath and still do fine in today's content. At this point 5 mans can all be aoe'd through like wrath, so whats the difference?

[Melodi]

Speaking as an old school vanilla player, I think the term is offensive. I don't call anyone a "Wrath baby" but it can be evident at times who started playing in Wrath. If anything, if I feel someone is bad I refer to the person as a baddie. Usually, if they are beyond all hope of helping and refuse it I just say "you're bad" and leave it at that.

Your sarcasm is kinda funny, but a little too far at times. Tone it down just a bit
