Comment by TastelikelemonCant wait for private addons to leak and drama to begin OR guilds going dark to use them to overcome the boss mechanics and get used with it :DComment by Raxus502No thanks, i just got my tousles out...Comment by PampidooYall really like using the embedded thumbnail of Xal'atath choking Alleria huh.Comment by TOMRUSRWF is worst thing about wow. It ruins the game and make it unplayable for 99% of players while catering to that 1% of wannabe elitists. Shame...Comment by Ovidiu30RWF is worst thing about wow. It ruins the game and make it unplayable for 99% of players while catering to that 1% of wannabe elitists. Shame...Comment by MoonyfangsThe choice to officially promote method from blizzard shows that there have been no substantive changes after the shadowlands sexism and abuse company fiasco. Method has supported and protected players who abuse women and target young children. Blizzard has made a disgusting mistake in publishing/supporting/promoting method stream/team. Although, given the history of misogyny and sexism I suppose it’s not surprising.Comment by Saber3Competitive stuff, it's not that it existing is a bad thing, but what it turns people into when that becomes the main thing.

Even at this moment, people still don't know how to function in doing anything without turning it into a race.
