[spoilers] Shamed by entire realm if you fail a Horde quest

[gaymer77]

I really liked the debuff that allowed you to attack your own faction. It was amazing.

I have a slight memory trying to find its way to my brain...but i cant remember that one
Could you explain?

I like such funny things, just like the "Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent and Disappointing Minions" title in Cataclysm.

It is neat but doesn't really last that long, nor does many care. You are just, "that guy who messed up a quest". A little flavour is nice though. Want to be shamed in current content, I guess, have resurrection sickness or deserter debuff - or I guess, wear the wrong gear.

There should be a stackable debuff in retail which lasts for a week that tells people how many times you wiped in LFR.

It was a Horde quest and you were basically an exile if you screwed up & could attack Horde NPCs. The NPCs were attackable but not hostile where they would attack you first. Its not the quest that involved failing lore like the OP talked about but I definitely remember Horde players in Org killing NPCs.

People cared enough to make a post here about it. I'm quite positive many who know about the quest nose-laughed to themselves after passing by this guy. OP clearly did.

What's with you and being butthurt about classic? I see you spreading salt everywhere. Is trolling on these forums getting to be that desperate?

There is a quest with a debuff like that on retail, it's just that no one actually gives a shit.

[Relapses]

If you equip a "wrong" item on live, ie a non-heart of azeroth neck for instance, you deserve to be belittled. Everything is so straight forward and child-friendly.

Unlike Classic, which, as we all know, requires an incredibly high IQ to appreciate.

Nuh uh! Blizzard would never! Retail players need safe spaces and soft edges. Only these super cool Classic players get to enjoy jokes like these since they are designed specifically for their obviously superior intellects.

More than it took to write that post, obviously. How did your defensive mind manage to take what I said as anything related to intelligence? Are you just unclear on what intelligence is?

Sooooo, where is this 'trolling' at the you so accuse me of? For all I wrote was my own opinion, and as a lore nerd myself, I didn't care if people failed their quest. As in classic, I offer to help people if needed.

Oh indeed. People make derisive snorts when you don't do your talents like the cookie cutter builds you can google.

Dont know if you can see from the image.
But you get a big ass purple arrow pointing at you, and a hunters mark Thats how i noticed the guy.

Meh, not really the shameful thing - just me, maybe. You would be amazed of how many people don't spare a moment to look through quest items/logs.

Honestly, if you have a need to belittle people, then you need to leave MMO's.

Honestly, if you need everyone you play with to hold your hand with silk gloves on, maybe you need to step back from social interactions.

I love it.

I also love how if a NIN in FF14 messes up their Mudras they get the bunny of shame.

Couple things:

a.) Calling retail "child-friendly" is incredibly fucking demeaning.
b.) Who's being defensive here? I like both Classic and retail. However, I dislike people shitting on retail for no reason.

Demeaning to whom? Children? People who are delusional about who the game is for?

[Beet]

So I guess I'm not among the cool kids again because I don't think shaming someone for failing a quest is good?

Yeah I’d say so. It’s a joke because it’s an easy lore question. You literally learn the answer right before you reply. It’s just comical. Lighten up a little maybe.

Please, do keep pretending that "child friendly" in context of retail totally doesn't mean "these people are bunch of whiny brats and would instantly cry if (something from Classic) happened there... including things that *do* happen."

Rez sickness is not shameful. It's a legitimate decision based on multiple factors unique to each player. If I just died for the third time trying to master a certain area or get to a chest and decide it's not worth it or my gear is broken, I'll take the sickness, repair, and have a 10 minute break. Most likely, I'll be right back other there because I'm stubborn. This goes for both classic and retail.

[Big Thanks]

Guys, relax, this was supposed to be a funny thing to share and the thread to die fast (X_X) no need for a war inside what was supposed to be a funny thread.

Shaaaaaaame!
