Lantz's Issues with People in World of Warcraft
I want to first state that these are not issues with game mechanics, classes, zones, talents, PvP, PvE, visuals or anything in between. This is about the people in game and why I hate them.
1) People that beg for money
Money begging is like saying, "Can I have what you've earned?" Now I'm okay with shelling out a few gold to one of my friends who just started in the game. But beyond that the answer is no. And I'm certainly not beyond saying, "Sure!" Opening trade, listing 1000 gold and then logging out. What can I say? I had a cat as a child, I like to dangle hope and rip it away.
2) People that beg for quest/instance runs
You know who you are... Whether you're passive aggressive about it or you have a low enough IQ to think the question "Who wants to run me through SFK?" is an honest question - words cannot explain my hatred for you.
Yes yes yes please, let me run you through an area that is 50 levels below me, so you can get a back item you'll replace in 5 levels! I have NOTHING better to do than to spend my time gaining nothing at all while you AFK repeatedly! Of course I'll help! And while I'm at it, I'll go rub my balls in shards of glass! Fuck you.
3) People that use trade chat for Chuck Norris jokes
Die.
4) People that invite to group, without a group
On many occasions I see, "Just need a (enter role here) for (enter activity here)". So I say to myself, "Hey! I have a (enter role here)! And I need to do (enter activity here)!" So I whisper, let them know, get invited. I look at the group and there's me, and the one person who said they "just need" said class/role. Obviously you didn't say you needed just ONE more, but the "just" in "Just need a tank" for instance, insinuates that you only need a tank and you're ready to go. So, nice try, I will not be sticking around when you trick me into a group. Peace.
5) People who talk about politics in-game
As if the people at your work didn't get enough ear bleeding advice on why Hillary Clinton is the anti-Christ, you feel the need to explain your loose points further on a game. Obviously you don't know what the majority of people that play video games care about; nachos and boobs. Now I realize Hillary has boobs... but eww. Save it for your friends and family sir, they'll at least pretend to care.
6) People who can't take a hint
It's simple. If I tell you you suck at your class, you obviously do. There's no need to argue the point. I've done the research - you blow. You're welcome.
7) People who keyboard-turn
Don't try and convince me you're just as good as I am when you take more than a half a second to turn around. YOU are the reason Subtlety specced Rogues still exist asshole!
8) People that are intoxicated while raiding
I don't care if you drink, do drugs, slit your wrist, masturbate with your dog or even kill people in your free time. I really don't. But don't do it during the 9-24 other people's raiding time. I have yet to see a competent player that was intoxicated/distracted. I know that your girl friend giving you a blow job during a boss fight is quite invigorating, but leave it to the professionals to multi-task, son.
More to come, it's go-home time.
