    What's funny are all the replies from angry WoW subscribers and former subscribers.

    To be honest, I have no idea what you are trying to argue. That said, I found it to be quite funny - and that it made perfect sense as The Horde is a fairly iconic thing from Warcraft which is the leading game in the genre.

    I also saw those replies. I thought a lot of them were funny. The salty ones were not quite so much. I really liked the one from League =)

    Yes, Horde is a term that WoW uses, but it's a regular term meaning a group of people.

    At least to me, it came off like WoW was saying, "You're using our word in your title?"

    That was precisely it, I'm sorry that you don't see humour in this - many people did though.

    I didn't find it funny because XIV is so much better than WoW, lol.

    I think there's still a few good ideas we can pull from WoW. I'd like to see racial mounts for starters.

    You mean the mounts that everyone is going to demand to be made usable by everyone like the bunny ears?

    While I personally disagree on this, I also feel this has no bearing on the joke. *shrug*

    Anyway, going back to playing wow, ttyl.

    I'm glad whoever runs the Twitter clapped back. I think it's Matt?
    I thought it was funny. Blizzard staff basically said 'u wot m8' and it was clearly meant as a joke.
