I have played wow for 15 years with my buddy, neither of us play retail anymore. I quit for a while cuz I’m pretty burnt out of the terrible decisions and monotonous gameplay of retail but he decided to join the copium train and main a warlock (the most braindead op class) in TBC classic (full on raider, attuned for BT, regrinding all the rep) full blown lost cause. He talks mad trash about how he has crazy parses on 15 year old content and just absolutely shits on every other game I mention.
We both tried Lost Ark and I’m absolutely in love with the game (I’m at over 400 hours in t3) but he played for 5 hours and wrote it off as pay to win garbage, he didnt even get to level 20. Now, after he uninstalled the game he will not stop talking about every single negative piece of press and news articles about the game… and just constantly trashes it.
This is weird bc if you don’t like something…
You don’t keep up with it, watch streams, videos, watch the steam charts, talk about it constantly, post memes, MAKE memes, etc… right?
I think he is trying to turn me off to the game and get me to play TBC classic and its not working so he is just getting more and more toxic and keeps posting negative shit about lost ark.
I think its funny bc I usually just mention that he’s quite literally replaying a shitty remake of a 15 year old game and gaslighting himself into thinking its good. but I still I tell him that if he’s having fun, its all good. We can play other games and still have fun. His girlfriend also, always sits right behind him and monitors his playtime and she has this really loud cough whenever we are on discord like she is coughing right into the mic.
But now I wanna start making fun of him, what should I say to him to make fun of him for playing TBC classic?
tell him tbc classic is a dead game and tell him gg go next. Or you can physically start a fight with him and beat him up to teach him to better his ways
This is what happens when players are chained by their sunken cost for WoW.
Yes. It’s inevitable and is the ultimate goal. I had a friend like this, I just don’t bother anymore. They are permanently gone until blizzard shuts the game down for good.
Remind him that TBC classic is more pay-to-win than lost ark. That game is nothing more than one giant bus terminal.
The way to deal with a friend like this, is to tell him (once) that just because you are friends doesn’t mean you like the same thing and everyone is entitled to play what they like. My boyfriend likes to pvp, I don’t but we accept that and go on. We do not try to make the other feel bad or criticize something the other may like.
Don’t stoop to his level of harassing him for his game choice. just cut him off. He’s obviously not putting effort into making this friendship worthwhile. Life is too short for you to have to put up with this bullshit.
What you asked here implies to me you’re not trying to help him at all. And what exactly do you mean by help him when he enjoys the game? Will you do to him exactly what he did to annoy you? If you can’t take this advice then it’s your choice to deal with a toxic friendship.
You Should tell him to take out a 2nd mortgage on the house so he can truly enjoy what lost ark has to offer! Jokes aside Lost ark is freeee while WoW is 15$!! We can clearly see which game is P2W here!
