The issue is with this community there are a loud damaged minority that they only ever post negativity, hate, trolling pick your poison and this like a cancer grows unchecked, and now the forum community is rotten to the core, some dont even have the skills to be nice anymore. Its a lost cause, anyone brought up with respect should avoid it. Its not a community i would reccomend to anyone.
Boo hoo, your thread didn’t go as lovely as you hoped

Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things we’ll go through in life, especially a parent.
When a parent dies, a part of us dies with them.
For his sake, I hope he takes some time off social media because there are always mentally disturbed individuals who will use this against him.
Love him or hate him, it’s an horrible event and there are always sick people who’ll do screwed up things.

I just had a little more hope for the humanity in the community, but its truly the bottom feeders in society, the community deserve the game it gets.
There was much better guides out there at the time.
And his YT guides i also remember had large problems at least that is what the community was saying at the time.
That is supposed to be special? that is normal to stop bad behaviour. the community he promoted and got big on is why he needed to start doing this and it was Twitch that forced him to do it.
il respond to you with your own words
That has NOTHING to do with the game or being good person at all.
If anything this tells you that what he said had power and that him promoting things that are not good means something.

How much better the community would be if we acknowledged every WoW player’s relatives deaths.

Thank you for your input, I can see this isn’t going to go any further. Have a good evening.
Sorry for derailing the thread.
Once again (you won’t read this) but I hope you Asmongold (and any one else going through loss) have the support they need in the terrible times.
Night.

You can act civil like that, but when you get thrown into a place of great discomfort you’ll be sure to show your true colours. Fakery is not cute
It hasn’t really changed since Vanilla. It’s always been a bit rough around the edges, which as I said earlier, is a good and a bad thing. A lot of it is trolling, and that really isn’t difficult to deal with (ignore them, laugh at them, or just insult them back with wit).
Honestly I’d prefer it to an overly ‘nice’ community-- which have a kind of Summerisle vibe (assuming people have seen The Wicker Man).
Ok, you have made several digs at me on here. I’ll be honest with you I have Asperger’s and I am moderately Dyslexic (yes both - it is quite common) I don’t always come over the way I wish and often have additional/different thoughts shortly after posting (hence the editing of posts) .
Please consider that when making ‘remarks’
As for ‘fake’ I have no idea what you are getting at but just to put your mind at ease. Until recently I was a senior lecturer (at degree level) in computer science, lecturing in many things but one of those area was the social impact on society of the internet, my Masters partly involved looking at how lives have changed, how people interact online (for good and for bad) these studies have led me to social media, forums and other places.
I hope that helps. Good night.

I think it would improve if there were tools to block individuals so you never have to interact with them again, let people have a choice, but overall every single post is full of toxicity with no other reason as to upset or provoke people with no value whatsoever,its almost like an addiction for thoes types of people i guess.
RIP to his mother.
But i dont think this platform is the best for this kind of stuff, there are many other platforms to put this thread.

Isn’t that coming in 9.1.5?
It’s certainly not victim-blaming to say don’t make onself a target, but a simple effective method of stopping or reducing it. If people allow themselves to be provoked or upset it will just make things worse.
… never expose your heart to be shot at. It’s just not a good idea to say post a personal tragedy or anything extremely sensitive in a public sphere where there are literally thousands of anonymous viewers, often bored people who can comment with impunity.
Then why doesn’t it happen in some other gaming communities, its all about supporting and helping each other.

As I said I don’t think people mean the things they say. They’re usually just edgy on-the-spur remarks. Considering this to me very much reduces the guilt, not to say there is none.
Perhaps the community in general is less sensitive, which isn’t always a bad thing. Again, it’s a bit ‘Wild West’ and it ain’t the place to go if you feel particularly tender.
In my experience things are just more direct. I argue a lot on these forums, but not in a crude and uncivil insulting way-- just debate without being overly respectful in the ‘Oh I respect your point of view’ kind of thing… which again is often a falsehood.
Anyway I think there are two sides to this matter. As far as helping each other I think the game itself is designed very much in a way that’s the antithesis of co-operation.
As far as the community goes I’d say frankly it’s a video game. I don’t think I’m a flint hearted person at all, but if I want emotional support I don’t look to a gaming community for it-- to me it seems obvious people play games exactly to get away from all the heaviness that sometimes comes with real life.
Perhaps some games have ‘softer’ communities, and by ‘soft’ I certainly do not mean that disparagingly. Some are perhaps more suited for people who like to share their feelings broadly; and others well, not so much because the ‘culture’ of the community is to get away from all that (which is perfectly reasonable I think, to want to keep the game area light-hearted). These of course are broad generalisations.
At a loss for words…
My condolences to Asmon and His Father.
