This has got to be the most toxic thing ever created in existance.

It's actually a great example of how the gamer mindset has changed.
When Gunsmoke in Immortality got the black qiraji mount on Skullcrusher, it was just really fucking cool and people would geek out when they saw it because having unique things was cool, and you could look at a player and almost immediately appreciate how hard they worked to get that cool shit.

most bugs are toxic

>>715394928 (OP)
at least in original classic it was a reward for raid leaders and guild masters

>>715395191
If you compare the two its pretty damning, with the first classic wave having shit like mass reporting people who were judged to be close to completing the chain to ensure they weren't able to hand it in, and the resulting shitshow.

>>715394928 (OP)
While I can appreciate its rarity and all, I find it kind of funny how both the mount and the title were naturally replaced by cooler and better things over the years.
Yeah you can cosplay as scarab lord but most people wont even know what that is

>Toxic

You are underaged. Fuck off.

>>715395191
pretty much, mental illness has totally taken over and people have become completely obsessed with games to the point that it has obviously become detrimental to their being

people were bad to some degree back in the day, but it was absolutely nothing like today

>>715395627
I miss the old mindset a lot.
>Oh damn that guy has sick looking armor where is that from?
>There's a 40 man raid where you go inside an insect hive and fight giant bugs? That's fucking sick I wanna do that.
>Ask around about raiding guilds
>Find out some mid tier guild is recruiting extra dps
>Sure bro just sign up on our forum and we will start you out on our molten core night
>Fast forward a couple of months
>Some guy walks past me in Ironforge and sees my cool ass shit
>Whispers me and asks how I got it
It's a beautiful story when everything comes full circle.

>>715395191
yep the covetous nature of modern gamers has ruined stuff like this

>>715395191
>how hard they worked

>>715395379
Wouldn't be a problem if reporting and bans weren't 100% automated. IDK why they continue to lie and say that each ban is reviewed by a person when that just isn't true. Its like they are pissing on you and calling it rain.

no one ever mentions the more rare pvp tabards for some reason

>>715395191
>how hard they worked
its all about gold and finding people willing to help you with some cancerous mobs
same with fucking thunderfury or other legendaries, wow congratz you got it handed by loot master or made a reserved run with people who dont give a fuck about it
god bless private servers
also you can get t3 in retail anyway

>>715395191
saw the faggot once in shatt
yeah i was jealous

It's the coolest thing ever.
The only thing I hate is that I wasn't around to play when it was a thing and most people who got it after maybe the initial 30-40 just grinded and speedran whenever a new server opened.

>>715395395
>cooler and better things
Like what?
>most people wont even know what that is
If you walk around with that in WoW you're getting a crowd around you no matter what.
It's like walking around with Thunderfury or those 10 million gold mounts they do nowadays but x100 more. Well, assuming there's even enough players to crowd someone now.

Having less than 1% of your player base able to access the content isn't sustainable. It was fine when it was all new and amusing, but those days are over.

>>715401016
It was sustainable back then. Because raiding was 1% of the game.
The other 99% was the 2 giant as fuck continents filled with areas that all have quests, NPCs, dungeons and PvP, professions that made you travel across regions and all flight masters.

>causes guild leaders to turn into tyrannical assholes that force their guild members into slavery in the bug mines forever changing the course of the game into a raiding simulator with butthole guild leaders trying to force themselves on everyone for a solid decade for made up e-fame

Unique things like this are cool, not everything needs to be a participation trophy

It like how now in nu-classic everyone can get High Warlord/Grand Marshal easily. But if everyone can be HW, then what's the point of being HW?

>>715397764
Definitely, too many miserable fucks in MMORPGs who are taking their shitty lives out on everyone else. It's why I perma-quit playing them.
