Terroristic violence subjects - individuals or non-governmental organizations But by Criminal Code of my country definition is a bit different. Terrorism is making explosions or arsons, that lead to people's deaths or other heavy consequences with purpose putting pressure on the state.

@@homelesswizard3161 You want attention so badly, you want to be a victim to a crazy person's attacks in-game? That's how badly you want to do something that somebody quotes, 'cares about' (since you framed the issue as 'nobody will care about naxx')? This says more about your life and gaming issues, does it not? I would spend some time thinking about this. Try another game, or another way to play WoW that feels rewarding. Maybe no-Guild, collect everything yourself, no mtx, no trading? One problem is the actual design of WoW. It has no real early or mid-game. It's instant Level 60, then raid loop forever. That's all the game really is these days, even for Hardcore Mode. It has no progression and no real grind to it like classical MMOs and even some big single-player games, like Skyrim (though this is only about 150 hours in total, right). What people do still care about, though, is if you can get world record for HC bossing or something. Naturally, nobody will care if you just beat a boss. Many people do that all the time. That's not been really impressive for like 6 years or more? (You can let me know, as it sounds like you've been playing WoW for a long time. I don't play it, and not played since about 2012.) There's always Old School RuneScape UIM Ironman Mode to max, or RS3 Ironman Mode (not regular). That takes 30,000 hours to complete and is very difficult and what many people care about these days, or max XP if max is too easy for you. Should keep you busy. Or any number of other games and achievements. Speedrunning? High scores? Most number of OSRS raids? Max % on Crash Bandicoot 4? Most number of HC boss kills in WoW? Does it track that/have high scores?

This guy's story is like the real world retelling of Morgoth's plan to befriend the elves by teaching them smithing and creating jewels, followed by the inevitable betrayal, an I'm all for it.

[@forfun6273]

The way he instantly says fuck was that the wrong corner? Oh I had the wrong corner. Like it’s extremely obvious he was dragging him into the wrong corner. You don’t get that far into the game without knowing the mechanics of 4 horsemen. I have a feeling that it wasn’t his intention the whole time. They must have done something to him recently and set him off on some autistic, paranoid schizophrenic, psychopath behavior.

[@Eskolol]

Sauron did the befriending. Morgoth was powerful enough that he didnt need to manipulate anyone. Sauron was the guy that not only tricked elves but humans too.

[@forfun6273]

Shit i meant to type a different comment addressing this. But yeah I know Sauron was annatar the gift bringer or something like that. So he did teach elves smithing and jewel crafting. But yeah melkor (aka Morgoth) despised the elves because the valar finally took action against melkor in order to protect the elves from his corruption. (He was kidnapping them and twisting them into orcs) I haven’t read the sillmarilion but my understanding is aule spent a lot of time teaching the noldor smithing a jewel crafting. But melkor spent his 3 ages in prison and was pardoned. And he did want to corrupt the elves. And he got close to the noldor. Especially Feanor. I want to say Feanor already created the Sillmarills before melkor was released. But he definitely wanted them. He did teach the noldor smithing. He taught Feanor how to make swords and armor. As well as Fingolfin. But yeah melkor lied to them both and had Feanor speaking out against the valar and acting a damn fool. So he did in a way deceive the elves. The Valar called for a meeting to discuss the divide and Feanor showed up in full armor with his sword and almost killed Fingolfin. But yeah they figured out it was melkor who was playing them against each other. But they still punished Feanor. And Melkor disappeared but then approached Feanor where he was told to get lost. So melkor destroyed the 2 trees. Killed Feanors father in the pandemonium and took the sillmarills. And that’s when he was cursed and became Morgath. So yeah in a way Morgath did befriend and manipulate the elves. But I’d say Sauron was much more successful in his manipulation. Maybe you can enlighten me on what all Melkor/Morgath taught the Noldor. But my understanding was he didn’t share some knowledge like making weapons. But he wasn’t ever trusted. The Noldor were just thirsty for knowledge so they tolerated him. kinda like Galadriel did of annatar in the second age.

[@forfun6273]

@@Eskolol my understanding is morgoth actually tricked the humans when they were first born. And got them to worship him and fear the true god illuvitar. And the punishment for that was “the gift of man” which was shortened lives. Morgoth could also shape shift. So he would make himself look like the hunter valar who was the first to find the elves when he was going around killing Morgoths monsters. And those elves him manipulated ended up being captured and corrupted into the first orcs. Sauron was definitely known for deceiving and manipulating people. Especially with the fall of neumanor. Because technically his ring plan failed. His true intention was to use them strictly on the elves. But that failed. And the 7 technically failed on the dwarves as well.
