There's no point being salty about it. Question, identify, focus, and improve. That's what we can do and continue to do. That's how we can turn negative events made by outliers of the community into positive ones as well.
You could say this about most other mmo’s because of the social aspect of it lol. Many people have met their spouses etc in mmo’s. This isn’t something unique to 14. No ones really being salty, they’re just pointing out facts. It isn’t a surprise the big mmo community won since…ofc they’d vote for themselves lmao. It’s a battle of numbers.I do find it funny how much you people make excuses for things like death threats, trying as much as possible to find ways of saying it isn’t necessarily the community at fault. “It could be someone who got banned a long time ago.” Yeah no. If someone got perma-banned, the likelihood of them sending death threats and still supporting the game that banned them is…very improbable lmao. You guys try to find so many loopholes to examples of severe toxicity that it’s incredibly sad.I guess this is just like how the players who were purposely trolling asmongold on his first day, blocking the quest givers etc weren’t 14 players. They were level 80 and had savage raid mounts but sure, totally not 14 players just WoW trollers lmao.
