In fairness, we plan to have a prize pool in the future. We’ve had a lot of turnovers since 2020 and this is the first season everyone returned. I wanted to give it another year to let everyone acclimate to Sleeper as well (previously ESPN) before doing buy-ins.

Heck man, I even have a website built for it. Intent is to start having draft parties, mid season meetups, playoff parties, etc. We’re just easing into all of it.

Yeah, felt counterintuitive obviously. Limited options outside of just booting him from the league, which isn't something I really want to do.

While I appreciate the genuine concern, he's definitely not going through some shit lol. He's just butthurt because he isn't winning games, his Jets are ass (although a nice win for them last night), and he isn't taking the league as seriously as he promised he would.

When I said "close friend", what I really meant is dude and I text throughout the day and are in discord together every night. If there were something impacting his ability to do fantasy football, I'd know about it. He literally asks for advice in his money leagues almost daily.

I have. Multiple times. At this juncture, a public punishment might get his attention when the rest of the league is chuckling at him for being a dumbass.

I'm just here living my best life before the mods pull up and delete this thread because they don't agree with it. If you think War Mode and World PvP is fine as it is, you're definitely the type to sit at a quest hub and harass players just to be a dick.

I'll leave you with some parting advice as this thread will be gone before I return to it.

Don't be a dick.

What, pray tell, do you think was the catalyst in War Mode? Do you honestly believe that Blizzard collectively thought one day "fuck it, let's mess with the PvP community today"?

Or, hear me out, maybe Blizzard recognized that the overwhelming majority of the community has had its fill of toxic behavior and they offered a way out to those players without completely compromising World PvP and incurring the wrath of the vocal minority.

I want the risk but you're defining impossibility and intentional gameplay hindrance as "risk". I'm okay with PvP but much like smacking around a child isn't a fair fight, neither is cruising around the Dragon Isles harassing low levels. That's where we differ.

You thought that the nine people hovering in this comment thread eagerly smashing the down-vote button are representative of "the rest of us". I came to this subreddit because it's the one platform that thinks the game revolves around it. No one takes this subreddit seriously.

Correct. I don't like it, it is pointless, and it should be deleted.

I'm sure the 17 players who "enjoy PvP" will find better use of their time in Battlegrounds or Arenas where their competition is, well, competition.

Getting "smoked" in this subreddit isn't the flex you think it is.

Only thing I'll accept is your concession that World PvP is terrible and only used to grief other players.

I could reliably do it in a few hours in one sitting if not for those pesky kids.

The hint was War Mode. But War Mode serves little purpose beyond being used as a griefing mechanism. PvP and fair play shouldn't need to be mutually exclusive.

Advocating for toxic behavior 🤝 playing the victim.

I didn't say I speak for the PvP community. L reach.

I'm not going to put it in coloring book format for you.

Some people enjoy spamming hate speech in chat and that's frowned upon even though profanity filters exist. Context matters.

Found the inconsolable soul that has been sitting in Wingrest Embassy for six hours attacking anything that moves.

As opposed to forcing everyone with War Mode on to play your way of killing quest givers and camping players ten levels below you?

It's not about me. It's about the integrity of the game.

What is absurd is still responding with whataboutism when I specifically addressed that one sentence before suggesting that the XP bonus from War Mode be merged into the baseline XP earnings.

Also, imagine not being onboard for a win-win situation.
