I can feel my brain curdling the more I look at this...

Don't worry, we'll still be called cringe by 12 year olds online, we just won't understand what they're saying.

I'm not emotionally prepared for the new brainrot

If you ask me, bullet dodged. I spent so many years in that game and I kind of wish I could get that time back. It had its fun moments, but so much of it was grinding for the sake of grinding. Not worth the investment imo

People aren't just innately incompetent, incompetence comes from a poor or non-existent education. Unfortunately gamers have had the "Git Gud" pill shoved down their throats and don't want to change their minds on the issue because they see themselves as the good ones.

The issue, of course, was that the developers' and the community's approach to fixing this was to simply lock those players out of the content and force them into LFG groups instead of making the content widely available and allowing players to learn that side of the game on their own terms.

The common response to the question: "Why don't raids have matchmaking?" was always: "The average player isn't prepared for raids and won't be able to handle the coordination required." which is certainly true. In my experience raiding, most players just weren't equipped to handle the content.

And while setting boundaries is starting to feel more necessary as the years go by, I know it's going to cause nuclear levels of fallout and might have unintended consequences. But like, how does one just politely sit there nodding their head while their family falls deeper into an echo chamber?

Anyway so yeah I twisted my ankle today and ahhhhhhhh 🥲

It's a genuine spit in the face to every homebrew creator out there who puts countless hours of their lives into making content for this game out of sheer passion. Taking great pains to design and balance and format every inch of our content, just to have Hasbro and WOtC pump out AI slop.
