    BadLuckMax also snagged several pieces of ill-gotten Mythic gear, including the unfortunately named Rushed Beta Launchers boots which, being leather (and thus useless on a Paladin) feels like a brutal jab at Blizzard.

    Is this a retail thing where Paladins can only wear plate or is the author not familiar with the mechanic? Plenty of paladins taking cloth/leather/mail in OG and Classic.

      from cata you got 5% bonus to your primary stat for wearing your armour class, so plate for example on pally. but gear works differently in retail so all plate has strength and int on it so you really have no reason to use cloth or lether

      You get some kind of bonus if you wear your classes preferred armor type iirc.

    ITT: I learn WoW is still a thing. Honestly thought that shit died like 15 years ago.

      You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG

        It’s a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.

        I’ve been living under quite a rock then, haven’t heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)

        If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.

        I genuinely didn’t know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.

    Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.

    source
    • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Actually it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

        Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!

    There are people who still admit to playing World of Warcraft to other people?

    Yikes

      There are people who still whine about what games others enjoy? Yikes.

      source
      • upandup@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Nobody here is whining. I’m just surprised.

        It’s OK if you understand that. No one will hate you for it, I promise.

        You are not yet aware that most people have severe self-worth issues?

      Eh, whatever makes them happy.

        I suppose. One of my favorite games is from 1992 and called ultimate underworld.

        It was a far superior game regarding storyline, plot, and gameplay.

        But I’m not here to yuck anyone. Although that is quite literally what I did.

        The rock where I’m actually doing enough with my life so as to not be aware that a cartoonish video game still exists?

        Yeah. It’s pretty comfy.
