The interesting thing about World of Warcraft for me is that it can create such feelings of loyalty, solidarity, faction pride, and sometimes, raw, visceral, demonic hatred welling up from within. As an example, as an old school warrior player, I despise the Cyclonian (http://www.wow.com/2007/09/21/the-care-and-feeding-of-warriors-death-to-cyclonian/) with every fiber of my being. Mind you, I loved the quest chain, it felt epic and I kept the sword forever and a day (might even still have it somewhere in that mess of a bank) but the mob (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=6239)? Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate. I still stop whatever I'm doing and ride down to see if any warriors are trying to solo him whenever I'm anywhere near Southshore or Chillwind Point. And if they are, they suddenly find themselves assisted by a level 80 warrior who wishes nothing more on earth than to kill that windbag!
Seriously, kudos to Blizzard, you managed to make me hate a mass of pixels more than some people I've had reason to dislike over the years. If sentient whirlwinds ever manifest and begin speaking to us, they'd best do so very far away from me.
So this fine morning I ask you: what do you hate?Filed under: Analysis / Opinion (http://www.wow.com/category/analysis-opinion/), Odds and ends (http://www.wow.com/category/odds-and-ends/), Breakfast topics (http://www.wow.com/category/breakfast-topics/), Quests (http://www.wow.com/category/quests/)
