Running of the Gnomes was an absolute blast this year. I lost my mom to colon cancer in July and when I shared that info in chat during the run, the amount of people screaming "THIS ONE IS FOR DONNA!" had me in tears. The run hit in a completely different way this year.

Thanks to everyone for making the run extra fun.

Missing you, Mom.

Most memorable community moment for a lot of us wasn't when the contents of our guild vaults disappeared/when people lost gold or currencies during transfers to alts/when reps reset and kept resetting/when mounts, pets or transmogs disappeared or when hundreds of honor levels got removed, but when we were told "tough" and to suck it up and move on.

It's been one hell of a year for WoW! #iwashere

I love the negativity in the comment section here... Nearly NONE is embracing what was good, what was fun... Everyone just crying about the negativ parts...

You... YOU PEOPLE are the Problem in this game, that makes the game worse than it is! Find things that are good, that are fun, that make you happy... and embrace those! And if you can't find them, just quit the Game and find something that makes you happy! Your negativity makes other people have less fun and I know, some of you *&&%holes think, no one should have fun if you don't... but just leave us alone!

This year was interesting in WoW... yeah, not the Best of all the 20 Years, but not every year has or can be better than the year(s) before! I had fun playing with alts, playing with my guildies... Raiding was fund and all the activities we have done as a Guild and with our Partnerguild together were fun and became great memories. And I'm thankful to Blizz, cause without them and WoW, I would never have met those people and would never been this happy and never would have made such great memories.

So thanks Blizz for this year and all those years to come!(##RESPBREAK##)258##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

I think it's perfectly legitimate to complain about the huge booting problem that exists in the game.(##RESPBREAK##)258##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Wasn't an easy year, and for Blizzard too, obviously. Wish my favourite game to overcome all the hardships, to fix all the bugs, to embrace all the just criticism while brushing off the usual whine and negativity which are so essential these days. Been helluva journey so far and I expect a lot more in the future.

Main thing for me this year was finally finding a guild where I feel comfy and raid in a friendly atmosphere - after my guild quit in TWW pre-patch I had hard times searching, disappointing and almost getting despaired. WoW has always been about people for me - I met my husband here, met my best friends and had a blast raiding within a hearty team. Meanwhile, all the awful moments in game were also connected to the people because that's what human nature can be in it's best and in it's worst. So, let this new year bring the best in us, gals and bois, champions of Azeroth, players and devs!

Very well said! i am not saying there has not been issues this year, but this post was a year of looking back and remembering the FUN not what went wrong. There are plenty of other posts to complain on. This one should be a look at what I, my guild and my friends did.(##RESPBREAK##)258##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Your vitriol about the negativity is contributing further to the negativity, congrats, you false-positivity types never cease to amaze me with the lack of self awareness.

Also shilling for the multimillion dollar corporation is not positive and does not make you a good person.(##RESPBREAK##)258##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##
