    It, like any other seeming-pet name, is likely only to be found offensive in certain context or based upon how someone reads said context it's delivered in. I use 'hon' often myself, but only with friends. Mostly because pet-names like that feel a little too intimate to use for any random stranger I land in a group with or am discussing with on a forum, but also because certain context can make it come off as if I'm speaking down to someone.

    Granted, I don't think the poster in question was meaning it in that way, but their irritation at the situation of people cheesing ilevels rather than just taking what the roulette would naturally give them might have made it come across as demeaning. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Exactly this. The exploit is immensely irritating and I'm quite tired of getting the same two raids in roulette nearly every time I queue. I have no patience at this point.

    You and me both, sister/brother.

    Condescension is not always meant, as a reminder to people. Text is hard to read the tone of, but it's better to not assume everything said to you is meant as an offense!

    I didn't say offensive, just condescending: adjective. having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority.
