At the end of the day he's only one person and it doesn't matter in the long run, but as a person who has watched him for a long time and has even give him my twitch prime, He has failed classic wow.
Asmongold spent years ( as did a lot of people ) begging blizzard to release classic wow servers, For many reasons.. community.. the leveling experience.. the RPG elements that disappeared throughout the years.. fun.. the old zones.. Grouping up with other players all the time... There's a million reasons we all wanted classic wow but I think it's really sad that he and many streamers shit talked BFA forever and said they would play classic differently only to go around begging for gold and items. They spent YEARS saying " WE'RE FINALLY GOING HOME BOYS!!! " " WOW IS ALIVE AGAIN " .. " WOW IS BACK BABY "
.. Only to beg for gold and items from other players after saying they strictly wouldn't. ...Only to spam Scarlet Monastery to level. ...Only to beg for gold for your first mount when you said you wouldn't ...Only to say " CAN I GET THAT? " whenever an item drops. ...Only to say " I don't want to do that quest it doesn't give good enough loot " ...Only to do the same exact things and behave the same way you do on retail
You had a second chance to re live classic wow and you threw it all away. You can't use the excuse " but I decided to roll on a pvp server sooooo I don't want to be behind..." Because we know that's an excuse. Don't even try to justify your lie.
You asked for legacy servers for years but when they came around you just weren't strong enough to do it without begging for gold and items. At the end of the day, Who cares he's just one person. But as a top WoW streamer it's sad.
You failed classic, you failed your fans, but most of all, You failed yourself. We thought more highly of you.
hey my fellow redditor I just saw this on the frontpage
Jason Barnes
Don't give a shit about him getting handouts, but the spamming of SM as a way to ignore the biggest parts of the leveling experience (especially for a PvP server) that's pretty shameful. Everyone doing that shit should feel ashamed, not just this filthy faggot streamer.
Carter Jenkins
Why are you posting FAKE NEWS? Typical lefties attacking /our guy/ and Trump supporter, Asmonite.
WoW classic was never going to be as good as vanilla WoW. the two main reasons are, vanilla WoW was a brand new type of game in 2001. The second reason is modern culture, in 2001 streaming wasn't a thing. Yes there were people who recorded video of some of the stuff they did, but it was reserved for raids or large scale endeavors. Now everyone just wants to jump on the bandwagon of whats popular.
what's more of a waste of life than a gamer? a viewer who watches other people play games what's worse than a viewer who watches gamers? someone who watches a streamer who clearly doesn't care about the games they play you just can't get any lower unless you're marketing or politicising vidya worse than soulless get the fuck out that's all on you, in 2004-06 people were shiting on wow all the time. the people who cared about the game just ignored it and played with their guild and friends >tl;dr my daddy didn't really like playing with my favorite toy :(
Matthew Thomas
thats exactly how people played WoW right at release though
Ayden Young
i got to level 18 and quit idk game is boring as fuck who agrees?
Jackson Robinson
I agree, made by cucks for cucks
Andrew Howard
I hope literally any petty accusation no matter how small makes him tumble and fall. I'm tired of his stupid face polluting youtube if I dare watch anything MMO related.
Ryan Murphy
for context I've never played classic wow I literally just did a play by play of the level 60 gnome's speedrun and got to his "8 hour mark" in 10 hours of my own time.
Past that I couldn't be fucking bothered to play more
Bentley Bennett
good riddance
Jose Edwards
Fuck him. We can all see just how right we were and I couldn't be gloating harder. "You think you want it but you don't" hahaha get rekt, I'll take my actual sense of community and grouping to kill a way OP level 12 mob thank you. Wankers
Eli Davis
The chick who hooked into him will pull up some bs accusations as soon as she gets bored with all his money.
Samuel Brown
He rage quit streaming for like a month because he was getting owned so badly at Dark Souls 3 and couldn't handle the bants. This might push him over the edge again.
Noah Bell
What's the 10 man dungeon method?
Anthony Baker
Classic was not properly applying raid group penalties to XP, so people were zerging dungeons with 10 people to kill shit super fast.
Samuel Collins
>wow was released in 2001 and was the first mmo ever Zoomers need to banned from Yea Forums to fix the board.
Cameron Fisher
Then how did Method get cucked by a gnome?
Caleb Green
I'm amazed at the min/max effort being taken in a level 30 instance. Get priest, warlock and 3 mages. Everyone stands behind a wall. Priest shields the eye of kilrogg. Eye of kilrogg goes as far into the dungeon as possible pulling mobs. Everyone AOEs down the mobs. Repeat as needed.
Brody Ramirez
Because they're retailshitters who thought they could compete with private server autism.
Liam Rogers
>claim you want the "classic experience" for over 3 years >do the exact opposite and spam dungeons to 60, avoiding everything that makes classic wow "classic wow".
he doesn't care, he's just blabering whatever nonsense will get him views and clicks
William Lewis
Sounds incredibly fun
Alexander Ward
Reminder that Tipsout is /ourguy/, not Asmongoldbergsilverstein.
Aiden Johnson
Because a Maltan dude in the hyperbolic timebasement that's grinded 1-60 dozens and dozens of times is going to fuck the shit out of people used to retail in that race. He knew how to work layering and so his already fast method got even faster.
William Barnes
This...this sounds like...home...
Bentley Roberts
yeah classic sucks only the tank/dps/healer paradigm should ever work and every other tactic should be patched
Noah Gonzalez
That's the 5 man group so it still works. The 10 man stuff was an xp bug.
Lucas Cox
Thats what i love about guild wars, it simply doesnt force you into the tank/healer shit. You can hunreds of ways dealing with the situations, but if you also want to play tank/heal you can do that aswell
Send help. I have to play on an EST server and the only two servers are Faerelina or Herod. So I either play with streamers or reddit. WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO?
Isaac Sullivan
He is going to wipe over and over in mc and blame everyone else isnt he
Kayden Gray
Streamers: >Chinafarmers ruin the integrity of the game! Also streamers: >Takes epics and gear from fans for free
I dont dislike him, but sometimes hes such a fucking hypocrit
Brandon Turner
is herod reddit? stalagg is east coast PVP go play there
Ryder Jenkins
If it wasn't for warcraft's lore back then no one would give a shit.
Eli Clark
>everybody spamming on chat to get 10 man cleave parties >nobody considers any other classes except the optimal ones >stv and other 30s zones empty because everyone is in SM
Ah... Just how I remember it...
Luke Nelson
thats pretty sweet, stv is a nightmare when its full
Camden Peterson
>bunch under leveled gnomes clear MC and Onyxia in 6 days >Asmon wipes again and again I can’t fucking wait. He might actually quit from the bantz.
Brandon Hill
This is a reddit thread, anyone that agree with this post is unironically a redditor, please fuck off back there and stop shitting up the boards you zoomer cancer He's joking you autistic faggot
Nolan Hernandez

99.9% of those streamers don't give a fuck about vanilla, they just expected it to go big and put their mouth where they thought the money would be, and it worked. All those views and subscribers to streamers who will shit on the game once it's not popular. Asmongold will stop playing classic as soon as it becomes less popular, definitely once bfa gets more popular with blizzard actually releasing new content. The only genuine classic streamer will be the last one, once classic hype dies off and there will be 0 viewers but he will still stream it and play it.
Anthony Diaz
Why did the community put him on a pedestal at first place? Pilav already showed how fucking dogshit he is in game despite playing for so long. The only way you don't improve whatsoever if you play the game as a mount collecting device. Nobody gives a shit about your pixelated pony.
Sebastian Bennett
why is everyone obsessed with this assmongoloid guy?
Bentley Bennett
Agreed. Crap game and will be dead in two months.
Kayden Thomas
You've given him your Twitch Prime, gold, and items in game but he's given you nothing in return. Now, you post your blogpost here. Good job.
Adam Reyes
I don't give a shit about WoW, but this is pretty interesting to say the least. Sometimes people playing vidya will straight up optimize the fun out of their experience. You would think people play games to have fun, but here's a perfect example of someone deliberately depriving themselves of an experience they claim to want.
Sebastian Brown
>All these new players will never know the glory of global chat shit talking alliance/horde in open world >All these retail kids rushing to max level as fast as possible when endgame vanilla is boring as fuck
Even more interesting is that people don't learn after the first 10 times they optimize the fun out of the game. They just sit around feeling sorry for themselves that they did it AGAIN. I just know that some of the people complaining loudest about SM grinding, layer abuse, and avoiding wpvp are doing all those things themselves.
Hudson Ortiz
They've got a future in politics.
Hunter Smith
Most of the faggots fantasising about vanilla never played it, it was NOTHING like classic
Adrian Jones
Burdturglar Cheesescries Monkndonuts
Levi Cruz
Well if after Wotlk you don't see a big ass redflag to not trust in blizzard, its not blizzard's fault that you fall for the ruse again. Hah, yeah its almost like the biggest classic advocates never played vanilla either... heh...that would be crazy.
Parker Edwards
what kind of degree i need to write like this?
Kayden Roberts
What class/race? I love coming up with names.
Easton Bell
The only people who write like this are mentally ill.
i agree with this unironically. i started watching him when he had a few hundread viewers and bailed at the tail end of legion when it become a spergfest. i tuned in while he was playing the other day and heard "ok guys give me gold for the mount" as people opened trade windows to give him 1g. i was more disgusted with this hypocrisy than his deplorable living conditions
Lincoln Nelson
He is only ruining the game for himself and that is kind of sad. He lost the sense of accomplishment with taking gibs and that is pretty much the driving factor in the game.
Levi Baker
>im going to pretend i dont know know him by using an insult only people who know him would know
William King
i dont think hes ever been particularly good at the game either. he talks mad shit but its not difficult to get good numbers in the later expansions, especially when youre spoonfed gear. his laziness and hypocrisy now only showed me hes a garbage player and im glad i never gave him a fucking cent even when he had no viewers
Owen Nguyen
Tauren hunter.
Luis Martin
>He is only ruining the game for himself He has FOUR full guilds running around for him He's ruining it for a lot of people
Carter Thompson
>i dont think hes ever been particularly good at the game either >good at WOW user, WOW is a casual pandering easy mode MMORPG, there is no being good, there is grinding hours for azurite or whatever new shit they add in next
Colton Parker
The guy makes more than Jeff Bezos why should he care for faggots like you?
i've seen some rando insulting him like that on youtube
Henry Long
uh congratulations on resisting the temptation to throw money at him.
Hudson Flores
so you admit to watching his videos
Jayden Bailey
BillyHerdigton, name your pet MegaMiltank.
Nicholas Clark
who the fuck even cares

Andrew Hughes
if you give twitch streamers money you are a loser and will always be a loser
Sebastian Clark
the coment wasn't on one of his videos
Ian Bennett
I should've left earlier but I hate myself. Level 14, dropped.
Nicholas Sullivan
The only people putting him on a pedestal are you faggots who never stop talking about him. He's just a normal content creator, but you'd think he was one of the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia the way you faggots moan and despair over his very existence.
Josiah Wright
Cringe, but he's right you know.
Classicfags complaining about how everything went wrong, yet selfishly power leveling through like fucking tryhards is levels of autism unseen before in humanity
Hudson Kelly
>streamer who has 20+ people following him around babysitting him whenever he's playing abuses his social clout by asking for free everything and to be carried
WOW WHO WOULDA THUNK IT
Nathan Lee
Anyone else get name reported for pissing someone off in pvp? I got banned after trying to input the same name and I'm trying to figure out if the ban was because I used the same name, or if it was just delayed and because I was reported in the first place.
>asmongold liked vanilla they didn't, infact they didn't even bother getting invested into the game until wrath of the lich king. Before then they were just a kid only playing because that's what his mommy played. His mom still plays WoW and even has achievements which he'll never have.
Colton Robinson
that's stupid, he only started using layering for the last 2 levels when he already had a sizable lead
I did Shadowfang keep and stockades yesterday with no tanks, only DPS and a priest friend Early ret/holy paladins can tank shit without shields and up to date devotion aura
and did it again with a 5 ret paladin squad to get the hammer, again people back then were cavemen retards still wanting to force memes.
Imagine putting your faith in someone as retarded as asmongold. I already knew he was talking shit since classic got announced
Easton Cox
>level a tank to 26 by spamming dungeons >realise I don't have any guild yet >every guild worth a fuck already has tanks for endgame >at 60 I need to grind for pre bis mitigation, fire res gear, and pre bis fury set, amongst other things also >decide to reroll >lose all motivation to play Oh well OK then
Jackson Garcia
r*ddit seething over an anorexic neckbeard.
Jonathan Powell

Jeremiah Long
kromcrush dawg
Landon Reed
>bring back classic for the community and the experience >spam dungeons with broken xp to completely bypass the experience and the community
This is why you can't go home again. The minmaxers/gearscore people sucked all the fun out of the game. There's no adventure and no discovery. There's just a gear treadmill.
Wyatt Rogers
and people said it was the game that changed and not the players
Evan Robinson
Are you new? Shamans are good tanks too. Warrior tanks in low levels are a meme mostly because they do jack shit damage until 36 unless they have a whirlwind axe or some shit like that.
Bentley Jenkins
Hawktotem, Ravenhoof, etc
Isaiah Allen
WoW was always about the grind. This exploration meme was something that could never be recreated for anyone who had already played the game.
Owen Jenkins
Again, people who is leveling now knows that the real combo for warrior tanking until later levels is Arms Fury combo.
Also shamans Are good tanks because Enhance was supposed to be the tanking Spec, but 2 certain jewish devs with lots of Hybrid class hate thew a hissy fit about MUH warriors.
Has Asmon gotten killed yet by other players at least?
Ryan Sanders
since when can a 10man raid grp enter a 5man dungeon? da fuck?
Liam Wilson
yes and trolled too.
Isaiah Perez
Because AoE grinding as a mage + layering abuse is just that good. Its even better than dungeon spam.
Carson Sanders
>donating to the bald retard
neck yourself
Thomas Wilson
>Asmongold failed classic WoW by bypassing all the grindy bullshit and getting to the actual fun parts of the game for his streaming audience I wish I had a bunch of people following me around giving me money. Fucking hell I wish there was somebody around that would level for me so I can get to Dungeons/PVP, literally the only fuck part of WoW
James Thomas
HOL UP did jokerd hit 60 again?
Gabriel Watson
Good, didn't think he would get killed so easily with his army.
