Toxicity in the World of Warcraft
This week we discuss something that has affected most everyone that has played an online game at some point in their life. Toxicity. Toxicity brought into the game by players who for some reason either need anger and hate in their life, or enjoy the drama they can stir up among other players. Though there is no solution to the toxicity that is abundant in online games, there are things you can do to overcome the negativity that it brings to your enjoyment.
First, we talk about the experiences we have had with toxic players. And truthfully, it's happened much more than what we share in the podcast. But hearing just a few of those instances helps to understand how prevalent it has become. Then we look at what we can do in World of Warcraft to not let toxicity have the negative effects their purveyors wish to impart on everyone.
Conspiracies Abound in Machik's Head
Once we finish with the toxicity, we look at the conspiracies that Machik believes resides in World of Warcraft. What would you say if you were told that Bastion, along with the Maw, are the real bad guys in the Shadowlands? Would you believe such nonsense? Would you tell Machik that he is totally wrong in his beliefs? Listen, he might convince you.
