I was doing the latest raid series with some friends this weekend who were catching up with the content, and they didn't know the fights.

The first battle has new mechanics, and some people died to them. There was one guy who piped up, "This has been out for two years! How are people still dying to [mechanic]???" We beat the boss so it didn't matter, but several people chimed in to say "hey, there are some new people here; it's new to them." Everyone was defending the people who died.

THEN, oh boy, this guy - would you believe it - DIED in the next fight. And the crowd then... oooo did we make fun of that guy.

What I'm getting at is that one guy out of 24 tried to be a bit of a jerk, but then everyone else was like, "No. That's not this game, bro." It's a community. It's great.

At the end of the raid when we were all waiting on rolls for items, someone disconnected. "Hey, [another player] DC'd. That's why the rolls are taking long." Everyone was like, "no worries." I said, "That's fine. DC is better than Marvel right now anyway..." and then the group got to talking about movies and super heroes for a couple of minutes while we all waited for this one person to restart the game.

WoW could never.
