It was their fault that they missed to turn their invincibility ON. But it doesn't mean that any player should take advantage of it. Fine, getting banned is a tad extreme for punishment. Maybe just a time out would suffice.

Been playing World of Warcraft for 16+ years and that funeral still is the most degenerate thing I've ever heard about in game.

[@MzAbbyxz]

The person that died were avid pvpers tho, so for this funeral thingy to be remembered even nowadays and made history is a way to honour her anyways, highly doubt if it was just a normal funeral no one would even know about it lmao.

[@chadbizeau5997]

I remember playing dark age of Camelot and one of the players on our server (Iseult) who was big in the vault Network boards back in the day passed away in a car accident. All three realms got together and did a 21 gun salute with ballista and we had an hour of no combat on the server itself. It was pretty heartwarming. And just like the first story we had one guild from Hibernia who had no qualms since coming to crash the party just to get a few extra RP... I remember that guild got kicked out of the main alliance in Hibernia and were pretty much isolated for the rest of the time that I played the game.

Just to throw an alternate viewpoint for the Corrupted Blood incident, the player could've not wanted their pet to die, put it into a kennel, after the raid, goes to major city, pops pet out sees the debuff proc and spread, and form two thoughts 'Huh, did not think that would happen.' and 'Why are noobs dying... oh... my bad.'

[@andrewcharles6489]

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s the only that popped in my head

[@Quikbeam]

I think this is more likely, back in Vanilla WoW pets had a "happiness" stat that would go down if it died. A more likely scenario was someone put the pet away once it contrated the debuff so it wouldnt die and it wouldnt lose happiness. Then after the raid, went back to a capital city to repair and whatever and then brought the pet out. That being said, after it happened once and it became known that it was a thing, there were tons of people doing it intentionally.

With Nintendo vs Square it is funny you make the "who betrayed who?" joke, because there is more to the story most people forget: early on N64 was going to be CD based.

Late in the hardware development Nintendo decided to switch back to cartridges, citing concerns over the physical durability of CDs in the hands of children.

[@aaronworthing1023]

Lawyer here. It is an absolute mistake to assume that when the bigger company settles it means they were definitely in the wrong I can’t disclose attorney Client communications but I can absolutely assure you that I have seen situations where they settle just to avoid the cost of litigation. And this doesn’t really apply to the call of duty situation, but I have seen companies settle situations involving property damage caused by employees just to avoid the bad feelings associated with a lawsuit The ugly reality is that there is a cottage industry of what can only be described as lawsuit abuse. It’s a real problem that needs to be addressed. God help if you guys ever get sued by anybody you’ll start to see that there’s a real problem in our system.

There was a shocking one abbout ten years ago in Elite Dangerous. Some guy did the longest deep space mission in the game's history to date, spending months of real time journeying to the centre of the galaxy and through to the far side, then back again. When he was close to home, a bunch of other players formed up a kind of honour guard to welcome him home, and one of them, with no warning, blew him up. Because of how the game works, you have to dock at a station and sell your exploration data, and if you're destroyed before selling it it's lost when your ship's computer is lost. This guy lost months and months of data because some troll decided to gank him.

[@hygrave2892]

Ah man, well, speaking on the subject: I was 25, working 16 hours a day, five days a week. So to quit the hyperbole and so I don't blow an artery years later, I can sum this up. I purchased a 2400$ a month rent building to try and start a computer repair business, this was around 2004. A nice midsized building, in a good neighborhood, with plenty of office buildings. And plenty of people who were going to need someone to fix their Windows XP machines, which I was elated to do. I paid the rent, moved my equipment into it, a nice sofa, and a few furnishings. In total, after years of skimping and saving, I spent 18 grand to get it up and running. I was grateful, business was starting to turn a profit, to the point I was going to hire some staff, as I was the only one working on up to 40 systems a day. Yes, 40- FORTY personal and business computers a day. I lock the doors one day, around midnight, go home to sleep to 7AM, and then return to work... Only there was no work to return to. The building collapsed, trigging the pipes to burst, only six PC's survived. How? The buildings code was up to date, and all in all everything was good. Except the rental agent who sold the building to me, fabricated the papers, took the deposit, plus the rent, and did so to twelve other individuals. The building had been flooded and rebuilt, and also had been infested with termites, which I was never informed of, of course. He had been fired from the agency he worked at for being a thief, and was using their name fraudulently to appear he was legit. The agency filed suit against him, me and the other twelve also filed against him. Problem is, he was also a severe substance abuse user. Found dead nine days later, having gone on a bender and spent all but 3500$ of the funds he had left. Over 600K spent on various substances and adult pastimes :/ Insurance gave me 5000$ for the damages. And not a cent more. In total, I gave him 12 grand and the others gave him a ton too. And I estimate in a nine day span, he spent close to between 450$ to 500$ thousand dollars. Keep in mind, this was 2004 money. Betrayal? Yep, and sheer stupidity on my part too. Thing is, I did look his name up, and the rental agency site did have him on their page, which they admitted they had not taken him down yet. He owed back child support in the millions, had eight children, and shot and snorted it all away in nine days. I think I betrayed my own personal sanity that day, and you know what? I still never got that back either. Cheers and toodles noodles.

[@tarantinoish]

I just want to add that WoW's Corrupted Blood outbreak happened in 2 phases. The one in the video is the 2nd phase. The first was a genuine bug, which Blizzard fixed by preventing the Corrupted Blood effect from leaving the Raid instance. However, it was after that that someone learned that dismissing their pet while they had the debuff, then summoning them again outside the instance would keep the debuff on them, thus allowing it to spread, again.

I was a hardcore player from the early days of the grassroots community, and eventually a mod by the time Wrath launched (TerylBrat here, hi!). I will never forget that raid betrayal. Many of us had openly questioned their willingness to let him be part of the raid, much less a tank, and that's one huge reason why I never raided HC. It's too easy to troll and if I learned one thing as a kid watching X-Files, it's TRUST NO ONE. Doubly so with a hardcore character, lol. I was not remotely surprised to hear about the attempted wipe. It was heartbreaking to see, but not at all unexpected given the history of the streamers who were running and participated in the raid.

[@discoturtle220]

We had a story like this in our unreal tournament 2004 clan. There was one guy being a major jerk so my friend dueled him and the guy lost and immediately left the game and we didn't see him again. Several months later a new guy starts hanging around our server and he's nice and we start getting to know him like anyone else who had played with us and joined the clan over time. This dude joins the clan and we get along great until like a year later he revealed he was the guy we exiled from the clan previously. He never sabotaged us but it was crazy the long play this guy had gone to slowly regain our trust, get back in the clan, then make this grand reveal.

"Zaum" (Заумь) is a term from Russian Futurist literature, coined by poets like Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchyonykh. It can be translated to "transrational" or "beyond the mind." Zaum refers to a form of experimental language that transcends logical meaning and rational thought, aiming to express more abstract or primal concepts. In German "Im Zaum halten" means "to keep in check". So it seems as if Russians heard that term and coined them as going beyond the check...so the exact opposite if what Zaum means in germany. German: stay inside of the border Russian: transgress the border

The goats posted again. Y’all should do a ByB for Nine Sols :). Keep being awesome!

Hey thanks we appreciate you! :)

"Insubordination" is what they say when they want to fire you, but the real reason they want to fire you is illegal. I've seen plenty of people get fired, but I've never seen someone get fired for actual insubordination, because when an employee gets to that point they generally just quit.

Small correction, Respawn Entertainment wasn't founded under EA, they started Respawn in 2010, they got EA to publish both Titanfalls and of these games success EA acquired Respawn in 2017.

The fact that WoW held so many positions on this list is the reason i quit at level 23 and never picked it up again. I have never seen such a toxic community in any other MMO.

Your videos are always good but this week’s have been hitting different.

there was a guild on the european server of aszune that also blocked other players from doing the gates of ahn'qiraj quest line they picked up the quest then refused to share it with anyone outside there guild, they even unlocked the gate in the middle of the night something like 4:00am from what I remember, my guild leader at the time knew someone in the other guild, and we got informed about the opening at 3:30am, I can't remember the guild name as they kind of imploded during the burning crusade expansion, but they were non too pleased when people from other guilds turned up to watch the opening.

Just to clear something up, Lord British was killed during Beta, so none of the people who "Lost all their stuff" would have had that stuff during launch anyway. They had lost all their stuff multiple times anyway, because it was beta.

case 1 is a perfect case of "just because you can doesn't mean you should"

I remember an epic betrayal in Eve online or some other space game. Some guy was the leader of his faction but had to go on leave in Iraq. When he came back they didn't let him back in so he made a new faction and they fought a huge war.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

"Hacker" ...damnit Falcon, Hakar..😂 did you even play WoW??

[@Lord_Volkner]

I remember the Runescape one. I was there. Totally forgot about that mess. Hadn't played that game in years.

[@nick_malone]

I was there that day in Winterspring, I wasn't in either guild I was levelling my first character and saw the carnage going on and had no idea what it all was and only saw the video later. Legendary.

[@SammaclauseGamgee]

I had no idea "thats the game in EVE Online". Thank you for telling me exactly why I should never play that game

[@2centschange]

I would argue the Italian's tantrums and rage quitting the Rust Twitch Rivals event should have been up here.

[@paulaguilera2268]

Worst betrayal ever is Silent Hills being canceled and PT taken down. RIP Norman Reedus' character in the game 😭
