The raid invite goes out. Forty people gather. You're excited - finally going to clear this content. The raid leader sounds confident in Discord. "Everyone ready? Alright, pull!" You engage the boss. The raid leader's instructions are... weird. "Stack in the fire!" Wait, what? "Don't move from the one-shot mechanic!" Hold on. You wipe. Hard. And then you hear it - the raid leader laughing. They have no idea what they're doing. They've just sabotaged 39 people for fun.
Welcome to the world of fake raid leaders - trolls who weaponize leadership positions to create maximum chaos. In this episode, Boss Mode explores the art of large-scale raid sabotage, from clueless leaders who fake it till they make it, to malicious trolls who deliberately lead groups to disaster.
What You'll Hear:
From World of Warcraft progression raids led to disaster, to Final Fantasy XIV extreme trials sabotaged for laughs, to EVE Online fleet commanders who betrayed entire armadas, this episode covers the full spectrum of leadership-based trolling. If you've ever followed bad raid calls or been that leader who had no idea what they were doing, this episode will hit home.
Got a fake raid leader horror story or been exposed as a fraud yourself? Email [email protected] - we promise to laugh with you, not at you. (Okay, maybe a little at you.)
