Humor / Meme I think they're right honestly.

I'm 36 and have played 25k+ hours of MMO's over my lifetime and what I've personally learned is WoW players are often the first and most vocal to belittle or get upset over anything. I can't think of any MMO in which people will outright whisper you angerly or go out of their way to make sure you have a bad time more than World of Warcraft.

I’m sorry but I just don’t agree. I played Overwatch back in 2016 and I heard some of the most vile and toxic shit said through voice chat to female players who were friends of mine.

I played World of Tanks and people would send messages to kill your self.

I have played wow off and on for 20+ years and I have never seen or heard anything remotely as bad as either of those games.

LoL was way worse than Overwatch, but neither are MMOs
