Who knew sweaty people with poor social skills would routinely ruin a game for everyone else?

World of Warcraft is an amazing social experiment that pits legions of the worlds shut-ins against each other and prays that someone will pry some fun out of it. As one might reasonably expect, this sick science experiment has resulted in many scandals, born of a mixture of poor social skills, anonymity, and the sheer power fantasy that a game like WoW can provide. These examples range from the infamous Serenity Now funeral raid, where a player’s funeral was completely decimated by a rival guild, to the orc rogue Angwe locking down a major port for 10 hours a day for 4 months straight. Even Blizzard, the games developer, has gotten in on the fun, by accidentally coding in a virtual plague that swept the World of Warcraft and temporarily ground the entire game to a halt. And finally, even today, players of World of Warcraft Classic found a way to draw the ire of their entire server. These are their stories.

What fandom/hobby/franchise would you want to see me cover in the next Many Scandals?
Consider supporting the channel by nipping over to shirtz.cool and using code "KUDOS" on any purchase to lop a whopping 10% off! I didn't get the Nirvana Bionicle shirt there, but I did get the hat!
Note: I genuinely don't know where I got the Bionicle shirt from
Nah the funeral crashing was low. WoW clearly meant a lot to her, and there were probably friends on there that weren't able to attend an irl funeral. Im not laughing at all, thats just shitty. Those ppl sincerely sound like the worst ppl to be around, any backlash was deserved.
I always thought WoW was cool but joined ffxiv. Glad I did, because while the community has a lot of problems too, apparently we're not so shitty as to ruin such a gesture. I hope ppl camped them out and ruined their days whenever they logged in.
If i was there i would be the One Laughing
Og duskwood ganker, back when there was only one ghost. Mcing people during the simon quest. Sapping in firelands. I love it!
Top readers for the Article Level Metrics for the infectious diseases through rp games on XHamster. 😅
By the Time my Friends and I could take a real shot at Angwe he quit he made it hard to get to Darnassus during leveling up but it was possible to get past him but hard rogue was just broke at that time. Deathecus was a special server I do miss it!
The plague is the best for sure. I did love it when i heard about it first. It was also studied how the plague can be spread. 😛 Luv it.
To all those elite players in NA PvE cluster with a big ego and elitist mindset (yeah Im talking about you in Encore, RH, Pugs, etc) remember this, the next time a friend ask me what have I accomplished this year, I can say I got promoted to Regional Senior Vice President of my company making 500k a year while you have wasted years of your time addicted to a non progression game and can only say I got my Thunderfury last week on my third fury warrior. Enjoy your big ego in game while being a loser in life.
I wish I had recorded what my friends and I used to do back in TBC. Or when my buds and I would work together to stop ppl from getting Scarab Lord.
oy!
you got some one time donation platform?
thank you very much for the good enternainment
Weren't the people in Serenity Now who raided the funeral banned as well?
Ingame funeral…is really fucking cringe…
That whole thing with the in game funeral in Wow. I agree with that comment you put in that the whole thing is mentioned still today all the time. On occasion it's just about the funeral but like 95 percent of the time it's mentioned because of the raid interruption. And you have to ask why the guild was created on a pvp server to begin with. You roll on pvp servers because you love pvp. It would seem to be exactly what would be expected.
I wonder if GRIZZLY was the beginning of RUIN gaming? It sounds like what Grizzly did in classic was exactly what Ruin did in Nazjatar during BFA.
It's not a coincidence that all of those happened in the golden age of WoW, ah what good times those were. Sad to see the corpse pranced around these days.
Hey that’s what they get for having a funeral outdoors in the wild on a PVP server
WOW is a government tool.
I miss old WoW. Especially mad cow YT videos and Ventrilo Harassment. IYKYK.
Not gonna lie, it's pretty cringe and pathetic that fat nerds threatened physical violence and wished for another player's father to die in real life because of silly stuff happening in a video game.
If they didn't want stuff to happen, they shouldn't have had that "burial" in a PvP area, but I guess they wanted the attention.
The most despicable part is that they abused that excuse to harass everyone who partook in that event, constantly camping them and griefing them. Way to go, pals, you really got the moral high ground by harassing people in the name of someone who isn't even around anymore.
I don't know where you are, but I will find you and I'm taking that Shirt, BIONCLE FOREVER
"Women Shouldn't Vote Productions", my favorite production studio.
Grizzly guild members should be perma banned.
That last story: good, looks good on them! I hope they continued to be griefed as much as they did everyone else.
Ravenholdt EU had a griefer in Redridge who was so bad during classic/TBC that the Alliance formed an organization to camp his corpse 24/7.
Good or Bad at the end of the day – years later – these events are chatted about excitedly "Do you remember…" Even though I sometimes might have been on the "squash bit" of another guilds or persons goal, it still makes me laugh today remembering the craziness it created in game and ultimately I was glad I was around (even if my toon was often a corpse lol).
i'm pretty sure i remember being a horde on incendius and all of a sudden a massive influx of alliance refugees from sulfuras joined the server and completely ruined a very fun and balanced server.
The White Funeral was hilarious. I am sorry but that is the most wow thing ever. If I was the one that died I would of found that awesome. No better way to be remembered in a video game. Almost 20 years later people are still talking about it.
I love how he showed Madseason for the legendary players lol
I got ganked by that dude in Menethil harbour over and over again… I remember this.
Fyi, i was part of the Attacking group, in thzt first part of the video. And yes, i still regret nothing lol
and PvP…
6:26 Eve Online reference was spot on! 😀
Brother, if people made a funeral in my honor and the opposite faction came in to catch some hands, it would be such an amazing send off!
Much funner?
Forget hosting a funeral on a pvp server. What kind of douche lazy move is this? You want to go to a funeral, get your ass in a vehicle and go there, show that person proper respect or if you can't, send a letter, post a message in a paper or something. Nah, your buddy just died, gonna honor him by sitting your ass in a gaming chair doing nothing different at all. What kind of pricks do this? Look at that, they even dressed up their avatars. Douchebags.
For the last one, there was also scandal over the exact same thing in Vanilla. Server transfers to newly created servers saw the quest being completed day-1 by people from other servers.
any problem with wow can be blamed on blizzard not caring
College for game design!!! XD
What a LOSER! XDDDDD
ive been report suspended twice… i reported blizzard entertainment to the federal trade commission. in michigan online bullying is illegal and blizzard is providing the tools to facilitate online bullying but also fostering it by not even looking into why people are being suspended. theres entire discords dedicated to simply getting people suspended lol. when you get suspended you are being denied a service you have paid for without even a partial refund being offered. so if they dont suspend you for a legit reason they are committing fraud.
Roflmao the funeral was too much lol
Imagine if the plague happened on a hardcore server
This seems to be subject to quite a bit of plagiarism. Not one source cited.
im just a guy in hc named holytitties giving out 10s bags and callin ppl piggies when they run from starter
zone to me at sw gate lol
So you wean to tell me covid was invented by wow? LMAO that is hilarious, a game killed my uncle!!!!! ROFL
Interesting the fact he brought up my guilds name Serenity is interesting I want to see what he has to say of the guild I am in charge of in classic wow. (Heads up I am the bane of classic wow I have mastered the mage class where I can 1 shot players up to 6 times without cooldowns after the 6th shot it's down to 2 shotting players lol I have actually been called a cheater by many horde players and even been banned temporarily before blizzard realized my build and figured I wasn't cheating I was just abusing the game mechanics they placed into the game, (if you have a high enough haste you can get pryroball to become a 2.5 second cast then just use trinkets and talents to gain that extra 5 pyroballs to act like a pom pyro. (As a fire mage I focused all my secondary stats down to crit and haste)
Back in Vanilla on Tichondrius server an Alliance guild, <Notorious> opened AQ early one Tuesday morning 2 hours before an 8-hour maintenance period, meaning almost the entire event (and opportunity to get Scarab Lord) occurred during server downtime, and the 20% of the duration that was going on while servers were up was at ass o'clock in the morning. Grizzly ain't got shit on that, it was literally impossible to do anything about it, and if you had the scepter but weren't online at 1-3 am on Tuesday morning, tough shit. Mind you, this was done after an agreement between all the guilds who had a scepter-holder was reached to open the gates AFTER maintenance.
Pretty sure a Bungie dev got the Scarab Lord title.
In terms of the funeral battle, I can't think of a better way to honor a WOW player than to have a giant battle wherein they are the first to die, instead of the last to live~ I know that wasn't the intent of the perpetrators but even that aspect of it was true to the game. So I totally understand why they were going with a classic funeral service, but it became something so much more~ We can't expect life in video games to be synonymous with our real lives and experiences~ They might be connected, but creating your own worlds and traditions and legends is in a way, even better than just going with the expected funeral service~ Still, I do understand why the players in her guild were a bit crestfallen at the whole thing.
I was a member of Imperial Order when they did a 5k gold AQ scepter hostage joke. Got up to 50 pages on the forums. It was a good time. I was also a member of the Troll Force. Mortaak RIP
