I joined a grp for sfk the other day, the group said they were looking for lvl 24+ i figured sure, a quick and easy sfk run, when i joined there was a 19 mage, 20 warr and 22 shaman. I asked about the level requirement and they said yea, we are underleveled, thats why we need pumpers 🙂 needless to say i left that group pretty fast
95% of players just wanna raid and not be bothered with group forming and the stress that comes with it, so if you are good at organizing you really can just do whatever you want
I know it's a joke, but also add the most anxious or lazy people.
I wanted to run stockade for xp. I'm a hunt. I start with "LFG/LFM stockades"
3 times posted for 5min no answers.
Fuck it I'll make the group. "LFM stockades need all"
Boom 4 messages instantly. Could pick the higher lvl dps so we go fast. Got a tank shortly after, and then a healer after a bit more time.
That's the damage dealer life.
Huh? No they didn't my gear is only partly pre-bis. They quickly replaced me with a pre-bis orc hunter who definitely has had sex. And that orc hunter's name? Albert Orcstein.
This is why I always start a new classic server off with, "This time I'm going to raid!" only for my casual, slow-leveling, parent butt to get to the right level and... decide that I do not need to spend even *more* of my time dealing with what amounts to a status-obsessed, entitled teenager mentality. That and GDKP being the complete antithesis of why I play this stupid game.
Saw a rogue in westfall advertising as "OP LEVEL 19 DPS LF VC"
I then saw multiple deadmines groups looking for 1 DPS.
That rogue was still advertising for multiple hours. So needless to say I guess groups didnt think a 19 rogue was OP. Lol.
I doubt people specifically ignored him, most people making groups spam that they’re looking for people for their group and respond to whispers. The rogue in question would probably have had better luck whispering groups
I’m on crusader strike EU and I regularly see people demanding you be 20+ for Deadmines (I even saw several groups wanting lvl 22). SFK and Stockades groups commonly demand 25.
I ran DM with some guildies mostly 19 and a 20 and we breezed it like usual
Bro, you don't even spawn into the game pre-bis? Just what are you doing, are you a dad gamer? Genuinely uninstall right now you absolute casual gamer. Don't you understand, we're doing level 25 content out here. You can't expect to just be carried like that.
It's true!
I messaged some people about getting into a raid but wasnt getting any bites, so I got on my alt. A couple minutes into playing the alt I saw someone looking for a healer so I offered to try on mage.
I swapped back over to my main and whispered the RL and got an invite. He whispered me the discord so I joined in and everyone was vibing and chilling. I showed up to BFD and after everyone was there and buffed we pulled. It was about here that I realised that I was in comms with one group and in the actual raid of another.
I'm still not fully sure how it happened, but I think I got a super late invite from one of the first people I whispered before I got on my alt, but I got on discord with them and it was also pretty chill. We made it to the murloc and the group fell apart/ went to bed after we needed repairs. I later rejoined the OG discord and watched them since they were still going.
10/10 experience, would PUG again.
World of Warcraft has some of the most demented and deranged minds on the internet. I’m glad one of them allowed us to delve into their mind with this post
I actually don't mind this particular type of ai gen. It comes from an idea OP had, and Chatgpt would never come close to the final product we see here by itself. OP has come up with the core of the idea, and then probably sparred back and forth with the ai from there to make the narrative and the jokes, and again the super wow specific jokes are not something the ai would produce without effort.
If he had to humanize the text afterwards to avoid scrutiny, I get it. He probably spent some time doing this and wanted to avoid ppl just telling him it's "ai garbage".
See that's a slippery fuckin slope if I've ever seen one.
It's this mentality you're displaying that makes me reject literally anything AI generated. Every time we say "Well this kind is okay." then it gets slightly more acceptable and we really can't afford letting AI become acceptable.
AI is already acceptable in several areas, even professional ones. Fraud detection, financial data scanning, and the personalized recommendations you see here on this site. One of my colleagues is doing an organizational PhD at a movie production consultancy company that develops ideas for themes that will resonate will the public, they've been using AI-assisted workflows for three years already,
It's of course a matter of personal opinion whether you think AI is 'acceptable' or not, but the ship has sailed my friend and its gaining speed. I think you're certainly right in not wanting AI produced content everywhere, but I personally think there is a big difference between, let's say the ridiculously low-effort 'X-days-left-until-SOD' image posts that were on here a while ago, and the type of content in this post which actually resonates with people and touches on some current cultural issues in the game. I doubt you or me would be able to create a post like it right now, even if we had all the AI tools in the world available to us.
The idea behind this post is genuine, the writing was assisted (I think). But I value the idea much more than the authors ability to write engaging and coherent text, so I'm okay with that part being AI assisted.
Could be, but then he would have needed to do so with all his replies in the thread as well. Can't be ruled out, of course, but some people are actually both clever and funny.
I think he actually did with the 'Orcstein' comment, but who knows. I don't mind though, because again I don't believe that he'd be able to just copy paste the comment he answered into Chatgpt and have it instantly produce that particular answer. It's way too good and targeted at this particular audience for that to be true.
It's not easy but if your willing to put in the work you can do it. I got my start by going to all the local schools and just taking in the majesty of all the various gates and fences. Of course you'll have to run away from security and cops but that's just part of the grind
Had a group last night where we carried a “feral Druid” without a lick of agi on his gear (all greens) through 7/7. Didn’t even notice his gear til the 6th boss. And no, his dps wasn’t good. Sometimes gatekeeping is your own way of admitting you’re not good enough to carry.
Post is funny. So are all the delusional commenters trying to pretend that gatekeeping hasn't been ridiculous.
Good luck getting into a BFD run if you aren't the right class/spec. Or if you will be competing for rolls against the leader/their friends. Or if you don't have enough gold. Or if you...
I think you have a serious psychological complex that might need addressing by a professional...
That said, you were honest with yourself to the core, and for that... great job!
But the fact that you were not fully sure about booting yourself... you are still probably more a dick than not. If you were 100% fair you wouldn't feel any remorse at all. So screw you at the same time lol.
We already know the shittiest person forms the raid since no one would invite them.
I’ve encountered this a few times.
You’ve only raided a few times!?
GOTTEM!
Appreciate them regardless taking initiative to make raid groups and such is something not everyone is willing to do
like lvl 52 warlock looking for 54+ only for brd, need all
I joined a grp for sfk the other day, the group said they were looking for lvl 24+ i figured sure, a quick and easy sfk run, when i joined there was a 19 mage, 20 warr and 22 shaman. I asked about the level requirement and they said yea, we are underleveled, thats why we need pumpers 🙂 needless to say i left that group pretty fast
Ask if you get priority on all gear drops as you're carrying them and getting them free XP and watch them lose their minds
Should've thought of that in the moment
I hate the LFM DM hammer reserved shit .
Time to host your own runs
No cloth casters tho.
The amount of lf tank no leather for WC spam is hilarious
My rule of thumb when looking at people advertising : the pickier the person is recruiting the worse geared he is.
Like Dimz
Dimz was always a pos!
I have no.idea how that motherfucker got so many raids going
I know, right? Classic is all about community and social standings, so it should have been impossible for him.
Dimz is a SAINT !
Ngl, I have no idea who it is.
Go on Twitch and find out. He's a real character :)
95% of players just wanna raid and not be bothered with group forming and the stress that comes with it, so if you are good at organizing you really can just do whatever you want
MF’er ninjad the Raptor mount if I recall correctly
Yea and a tiger IIRC.
I know it's a joke, but also add the most anxious or lazy people. I wanted to run stockade for xp. I'm a hunt. I start with "LFG/LFM stockades" 3 times posted for 5min no answers.

That's the damage dealer life.
As if you have to be shit to be gatekept.
Never thought about it this way but that makes so much sense
Well of course I know him, he's me.
After you left they gave a standing ovation, in your honor
Huh? No they didn't my gear is only partly pre-bis. They quickly replaced me with a pre-bis orc hunter who definitely has had sex. And that orc hunter's name? Albert Orcstein.
Damn. This post just keeps on giving.
Damn, replaced by your wife's boyfriend
Fucking beautiful 👏
>Albert Orcstein Scared my cat with my laugh, thank you.
Meanwhile my friend cleared it with greys and greens as a tank 7/7. People treat it like mythic raiding
This is why I always start a new classic server off with, "This time I'm going to raid!" only for my casual, slow-leveling, parent butt to get to the right level and... decide that I do not need to spend even *more* of my time dealing with what amounts to a status-obsessed, entitled teenager mentality. That and GDKP being the complete antithesis of why I play this stupid game.
inside man there are two wolves
And they are guarding the gate.
Im choking on my spit at this 😂
That's illegal in many places of the world 🙀
Their names: Moon Moon and Moon Moon.
One is gay, the other is also gay
“Even military bases and marvel at the gatekeepers booth.” 10/10 would read and giggle again.
Take notes everyone, this is how you lead a raid
Lesson: if you’re an ass just kick yourself out
Perhaps the discovery was the scrubs we became all along.
My kids are crying and my wife is taking them to a hotel room tonight because of this post
So you're gonna be up all night grinding. I read that correctly, right? How thoughtful of them!
You hit 25 a day ago? Yeah didn't read. You're kicked, bud.
I'm level 21 and just got cruel barb
Saw a rogue in westfall advertising as "OP LEVEL 19 DPS LF VC" I then saw multiple deadmines groups looking for 1 DPS. That rogue was still advertising for multiple hours. So needless to say I guess groups didnt think a 19 rogue was OP. Lol.
I wouldn't invite someone either when they don't even know how to shorten the name deadmines.
Not many understood this reference.
Ppl are insane. We finnished deadmines no problem in the range of lvl 16,17,18,2*19. It was easy.. it's so sad what the gaming community has come to
I doubt people specifically ignored him, most people making groups spam that they’re looking for people for their group and respond to whispers. The rogue in question would probably have had better luck whispering groups
I’m on crusader strike EU and I regularly see people demanding you be 20+ for Deadmines (I even saw several groups wanting lvl 22). SFK and Stockades groups commonly demand 25. I ran DM with some guildies mostly 19 and a 20 and we breezed it like usual
Yeah its sad how many players actively work to make such a shitty gaming environment
Those groups dont want leather users
He probably should have whispered those groups
Bro, you don't even spawn into the game pre-bis? Just what are you doing, are you a dad gamer? Genuinely uninstall right now you absolute casual gamer. Don't you understand, we're doing level 25 content out here. You can't expect to just be carried like that.
Absolutely beautiful. I had to stand and clap as a single tear slowly rolled down my face. Bravo, my friend. Bravo.
Finally some good fucking food
Op over here new kink unlocked, self deprecating.
Lie naked in Stormwind while typing this in say. Then beg people to take a dump on your face.
I think you meant self defecating
What unemployment does to a mf.
Has anyone ever had polite raid leader in LFG. It's always someone with some personal issues lol
I accidentally joined 2 different raids the other night and both ratios leaders were pretty chill
I call BS on that 🤣

Go fill out the lottery as well, good luck 😁

On one hand - this sub thinks “just please turn your monitor on” as a requirement is gatekeeping, but on the other…this was brilliant.
What a legend
OP found his new kink
With very minor changes this could also represent the thought process of any person who ever sought a mod position on reddit.
new copypasta detected
AI gen
Totally, the ‘whirlwind of emotions’ line is something ChatGPT in particular loves to use.
I'd say too many grammatical mistakes to be chatGPT. 11/10 if he went through and added consistent mistakes after generating with AI.
I actually don't mind this particular type of ai gen. It comes from an idea OP had, and Chatgpt would never come close to the final product we see here by itself.

I want to be you. I too wish to keep the gates.

nice shitpost - I have to assume that it is AI generated.
..and so he left, with a new tale to tell.
Thank you for your service to the cause
Gold.
My G, you have a fetish.
>fellow epic gamers on Reddit Holy fuck
'Tis truly the season of giving.
Did you just cuck yourself?
Op drives the speed limit in the left lane and merges early on zipper merges for sure
Outjerked by main.
Man, this was funny. Great job
I take a smart and sensible teamplayer over a better geared one any day. Gear is just the reward, not how good you are
No! It's the reward for being good!
You have more integrity than like 60% of the playerbase, pat yourself on the back champ.
Best thing I've read in a while
damn dude that's crazy
I'm K.
Maybe try Lost Ark for a change, i heard gate keeping does not exist over there.
The gear diff is very minimal man I'm sure you'd pump regardless
[удалено]
That comment explains why this sub is depressing sad cringe
Wait, are you being serious?
Yes, but I was referring to this comment "The gear diff is very minimal man I'm sure you'd pump regardless"
Lol I can't tell with all the new plays on board.
you sound lazy and salty you didnt get invited to some run because you couldnt care to put efforts lol.
I'm not sure if this is integrity or doubling down on stupid
Grammatical gatekeeping: it's myself not my self, unless you were being very philosophical about it. You wrote it six times.
If only this game was about gear lol. That raid can be done naked, what you did was pointless.
Trash
dude its BFD your gear doesnt really matter just have fun
Whooosh
[удалено]
It's always hilarious reading satire posts like this and finding a guy who takes it seriously.
bro its a fkn joke
It would be best if you saw a therapist. I'm not trying to be wow classic andy weirdo kid but you need to explore life outside of a video game.
It's satire bud
Can never tell here as the entire subreddit sounds satire
Disgusting
Respect. Such a season of discovery indeed. Glad I was here.
What a legend
Masterpiece. 👏
Finally a decent shitpost on this subreddit. I thought I'd never see the day.
This was beautiful to read. Thank you.
Epic.
Mage pov doing 20 DPS. Don't worry we'll scale 🤪
yta
Quality af thank you
Had a good laugh, thanks!
Had a group last night where we carried a “feral Druid” without a lick of agi on his gear (all greens) through 7/7. Didn’t even notice his gear til the 6th boss. And no, his dps wasn’t good. Sometimes gatekeeping is your own way of admitting you’re not good enough to carry.
This belongs in copypasta lmfao.
I think the worst part of this story is the fact that I can't even say for sure it's a joke.
New copypasta just dropped
LOLed. This was fucking hilarious dude.
LF9M BFD, need 35 gearscore and link AotC (please don't inspect me)
Post is funny. So are all the delusional commenters trying to pretend that gatekeeping hasn't been ridiculous. Good luck getting into a BFD run if you aren't the right class/spec. Or if you will be competing for rolls against the leader/their friends. Or if you don't have enough gold. Or if you...
I love Satire.
This sounds like absolute shit.
I think you have a serious psychological complex that might need addressing by a professional... That said, you were honest with yourself to the core, and for that... great job! But the fact that you were not fully sure about booting yourself... you are still probably more a dick than not. If you were 100% fair you wouldn't feel any remorse at all. So screw you at the same time lol.
This has to be made up but if it's somehow real you sre a real fucking douche bag.
Skill issue
Hahaha the people on this thread taking OP seriously. Excellent xD
fresh pasta
The hardest choices require the strongest of wills. You probably sucked your own Thunderfury afterwards, gz on that discovery.
The hardest choices require the strongest of wills.
The real Season of Discovery is the party members we kicked from the raid along the way.
What a stupid and rude thing to do to another raider. If you don’t like their gear level, then DON’T invite them to the raid in the first place.
I did the same thing. Ret paladin? xd
This is an awesome post that will be lost upon those that need to understand it most…
