Path of Exile’s global channels have had a glorious history of unhinged nonsense. A dev was even around to witness this one!
Reminds me of some encounters I had when I used to play RuneScape.
Probably what happened to the guy
I was hoping the launch of Classic would bring back classic loot rules and with it, prime opportunities for very public breakdowns during raids. It did not.
Really missed an opportunity here, Blizzard.
Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?
what started that meme in wow?
It was only obtainable for a short period of time. It was rare and stood out. If you had one, it was something to show off. So they’d literally link it in chat to show off. It turned into a meme of people looking for any excuse to link it. Hence “did someone say…” variants with it linked. Then it went too far and wouldn’t die. Then people without the item would do it without the link. Just got stupid.
Barrens chat was wild back in the day. Can’t imagine how it is now a days with how every online game is so full of toxicity that the most common thing I do the first time I play anything now is disable chat entirely.
Chat is non-existent in World of Warcraft anymore. You can get banned or muted for basically anything now because people have a right click report button and often abuse it for no reason. I was completely banned from the game for an entire week for this exact same username that I have here, someone reported me and said my name was inappropriate. I’ve had it for 15 years, and was randomly deemed to be not allowed anymore, so banned. Also had guild members that I was very close with through discord banned for a week for simply making a joke or saying the word fuck.
