We Missed A Great Opportunity...

I surprised how much people are wanting all these people to be part of our community... Asmongold and his whole fan base are toxic. The fact that the guy asks his viewers for gold and RL wow codes is disgusting. He literally goes around Goldshire and makes a game of how much people will trade him. His community is gonna be here for a small amount of time and when he finds his next thing to bring attention to his stream they will all be gone. It amazing that they played the victim is all this. In no way are people here supposed to bend down and suck his toes just because "his majesty" decided to make a twink. He even sent people out on witch hunts to people who didn't like that he is making a twink by bringing up their wow-armory and bashing them.

The moral of the story here is the way he was treated regardless of who he was or what he’s done, now most people said nothing on XPOff negative towards him and yes he was quite negative to people here. All we are trying to say is, when you have a community of 20000 people staring at something, whether they are awful people or not, it’s usually good business practice to welcome them and try to find out who’s actually interested
 
Clickbaited, thought I was gonna to read about some cool gear/enchant/dungeon loophole that closed.

How would XPOff respond if a big streamer with a less toxic community/track record brought attention to twinking and the site, like Venruki or Bajheera? Think you would see as volatile as a response?

Not trying to justify it, just being contrarian for the sake of discussion. Cheers!
 
since a good amount of you that are upset are probably talking about me thought i'd post a lil something here, this entire post may seem pointless but whatever

I don't think we should be bashing each other for having opinions. seriously we're gonna play the "oh, you have an opposing opinion on the situation? you're a disgrace to twinking, you're 12, you're *insert generic as fuck insult*" yadayadayada opinions are like assholes why is anything that opposes your point of view automatically immature or childish? foh. that shits just as immature realize that not everyone is going agree with you and respect it

I don't want to sound self centered because I know I wasn't the only one featured on his stream but I feel as though the community is now split apart at war because one neckbeard wants to play 39s, and I partly feel that its my fault. seems like people I was cool with a week ago are trashing me now.

I can't speak for anyone but myself but I was "toxic" (lul) because I've been around Asmongold's fans, hell, I play on Kel'thuzad, I see it all. They think we have an over inflated ego lmao the only thing I can do to some of these fanboys is smh

I've been keeping up with this situation because I like to see what people have to say now that i'm somewhat involved. I was watching a youtube video last night in which Asmongold is playing a game of Arathi Basin. I'm sure a lot of you have seen that video but if you haven't let me just say the comment section is the definition of hypocrisy. "oh, twinks are skilless, oh twinks are all bad at the game, oh twinks are casuals, twinks are this twinks are that."

yet on that video majority of the comments are "oh, didn't use arcane blast once, Asmongolds terrible" or something along those lines. The irony is so rich its nuts. All these kids saying we have over inflated egos these 120s legit think they know everything about the game lmao arcane blast hasn't been useful at low lvls since Legion, please. that's just one example, i'm sure as more content is made more cringe "knowledge" will be dropped on us from these end game players. Which is exactly what I didn't want when I made the posts I did. I foresaw this exact thing happening and the ignorance is just annoying to me. I'm just happy to see a huge amount of the ppl haven't made xpoff accs yet

and to anyone said this was lost potential chance are Asmongold wouldn't have even gone on this site if Mcconnell didn't bring up the shit talk. also, low level pvp doesn't really have a spot in mainstream competitive video games fr why do yall seem to think that

whatever. this will all be a thing of the past in a month since his fanbase has ADHD istg. the ppl that have a new genuine interest to learn of the community and how twinks work will stay, the tards won't though. hell, I love the idea of new people joining the community, so long as they aren't like the stereotypical Asmon dickrider

also, if anyone from that stream is reading this, Asmon checked out my achievments to find a lack of current content achievments and such. chat was :LUL:ing away at me as they do. Please think for more than two seconds and realize there's a fatass chance I don't play endgame at all, which is the case, as is the case for most ppl here. achievments ≠ skill you rats

some of you now hate me, some of you have my back, whatever. opinions will be opinions there's no point getting our panties up in a knot over something that will be something we look back on as a stupid thing that happened come Christmas

p.s. this isn't an apology or anything along those lines I don't regret anything I said. this is more so those who care enough can get a little more insight into what my intentions and/or thought process were/was as my messages featured on the stream didn't exceed more than 20 words. I love the community and what I've made of myself here and I don't want the people I've familiarized myself with over the past year and a bit to all of a sudden hate me for something so stupid in hindsight. pce.

It stems deeper than you sir. It was just a stepping stone to address some of the more toxic activity taking place in the past years. If people didn’t have differing opinions the world would be a boring place.
 
He didn't quit did he? I can understand some trash talk here and there for fun but making anyone quit regardless of if they stream or not is kinda lame.

quick edit.

Asmong takes a lot of flak from the wow forums so I kinda figured if anyone had some well earned thick skin it would be him. Also I have actually defended him on the general discussion forums before and I got perma banned for it rip.
 
I highly doubt he was actually offended, making drama of it is great content, still makes the forums look bad and uninviting, this isn't some unfixable tradgedy, portraying this situation as if the community has passed some point of no return is somewhat reactionary, that being said It would be nice if some held themselves to higher standards, there is plenty of time to open the borders.

Either the community takes that upon themselves or the mods do, or not.

I figured it did, that's why I brought it up

you and I may not get a long the greatest but thank you for that i'm more relieved now. this lowkey had my anxiety goin high I hate this shit
 
Problem here is that with the things most people say online, they wouldn't dare say such things in real life to a person because of making themselves look like jackasses.

People will joke like they will but they're really just giant pussies, and they don't need me to tell them that to realize it. Or I certainly hope they don't.

Now I personally don't think this had as much of disastrous effect as some might think. Asmongold is fairly used to this and sort-of uses it for content.

I have no issue talking shit, but not to someone who's innocently just taking a look through the website, whether it be a streamer or a new user. Trash-talk should be used with people you know can take a bashing and shake it off because they know it's all a joke (usually). And how would he know if people are joking since he knows nobody here? Again, he probably doesn't care. But I'm just saying in a general sense.
 
Hi guys!

I'm a brand new twink-er. Currently working on getting to 39 on my first twink, and I'm super excited about it.

The only reason I'm here and discovering this awesome community is because I happened to be watching Asmongold's stream the other night, which is a rare thing for me to do.

So, thanks to you guys, thanks to Asmongold, and I'll see you out there on the battlefield!

-Fera
 
Should have been more toxic towards Asmongold imo. It would have been more entertaining for his stream and his watchers would probably laugh if the forums actually went full-blown cancer-aids on him. If you've seen his twitch chat, it's like these people would fit right in with that sort of thing. "hunt down that goon" and what ohti said as well as that one guy who told Asmongold he was coming to eat his ass on a 41 rogue (lol) was tame for these forums. I say go full shitlord and who knows maybe Asmongold will go back to smearing food on his face and his viewers will love you for it.
 
There were some pretty funny comments in the thread too. Like the one where a member said something along the lines of “if we make a guild named asmonbald and farm him, every time he respawns his hair will grow back”.

He’s a pretty entertaining streamer too and I had a blast playing against him and McConnell in bg /arenas.
 
Honestly, I think Asmongold has the 2 brain cells it requires to simply not care, and navigate the forums for the information he seeks. If anything, he could just make a random account and be undercover on the forums and ask questions / interact in peace. He's not retarded in that sense. If anything, he'll turn the hate around and incorporate it as "content".

As for the "wasted opportunity", my guess is the way the website was portrayed in front of his viewers? I honestly don't think they care. They're watching Asmongold, and that dude breathes toxicity. Asmongold and Mcconnell probably shits Polonium on a daily basis. They don't give a fuq, and neither does the viewers.

(Not defending the toxic individuals, just saying what I think basically)
