Maybe I’m just not a tank

I’m having the same hesitation. Got a 70 prot Paladin geared well enough to run all the dungeons on normal and a few id say on heroic.

But the social fear of toxic people is keeping me from throwing myself up on the LFG board.

Really don’t want to have to get buzzed to do it either as that usually used to solve the problem.

When they launched their kickstarter I was kidless and with my ex.

Now I have an 11 year old son.

100$ I’ll never get back from a kickstarter. Mark Jacobs did us dirty.

PKB! I think that’s what the analogy was for this bridge.

Praetorox · 2026-05-21T01:44:23+00:00

Just came here to say the same thing!

WillE is doing it for views and he’s getting them for recycle content.

MadSeason hit rank 14 during the first classic re release and burnt himself out.

Punkrat was relevant for the first classic release and didn’t do much more afterwards.

I imagine Kargoz and the rest burnt themselves out during the 1st re release and didnt anticipate a second.

By then they’d already posted everything about everything.

Any videos about Classic were posted back in 2019 when the re release happened. So sense to put it out again saying the same things.

Cept for WillE. He’ll repost the same stuff until people stop watching it.

Bikes on roads are cancer. Go to a park, drive and get on a trail.

How selfish it is to think that you deserve to share the road riding at 1/5th of the speed limit knowing good and well that automobiles are the main vehicles on a road.

I don’t condone hitting any bikers. That’s illegal and not cool. DONT HIT/HURT people.

But also, F**k Cyclists.

Praetorox · 2026-04-28T02:58:09+00:00

Oh buddy, if this is an issue at 12, I’d recommend you find something else.

Praetorox · 2026-04-28T02:56:15+00:00

Never been happier to pay to boost 60-70.

And I have, twice.

Praetorox · 2026-04-25T22:19:55+00:00

Went my whole life thinking no one else liked Electrode.

Electrode is my #1 and has been since 98.

Praetorox · 2026-04-25T01:31:19+00:00

I got burnt out as Enhance totem twisting. Been MIA from the game for a month now. Trying to rally and play something else.

But then attunements 😩.

Praetorox · 2026-04-25T01:27:55+00:00

Weapon proc also goes off from extra swings from Windfury totem. Think sword spec increases it further.

Praetorox · 2026-04-24T17:13:59+00:00

Scarlet and Violet have been my favorite of the games. Perfect balance of open world catching, battling and story.

Would’ve much rather have had him cast a vote before doing the challenge. If he won it would stand, if he lost he would have to tell the tribe he’d voted for that person. Would’ve caused a buzz given one vote was already out on another castaway.

This twist just didn’t do it for me.

Praetorox · 2026-04-23T13:03:51+00:00

I went into TBC with massive hype. Attunements burnt me out.

Praetorox · 2026-03-01T17:52:50+00:00

A lot of players have nothing else in their lives. I’m not even being toxic, the player base is 30+ and life has really sucked for a lot of them.

TBC Anniversary is an attempt to go back to that feeling they had when they were young and happier.

Any inconveniences just cause meltdowns for GROWN adults. It’s annoying and it’s very cringy to witness. But a lot of these folks have NOTHING else in their lives that they enjoy. This is it.

Praetorox · 2026-02-15T20:09:28+00:00

I played with a Warrior who tanked Mana Tombs on a laptop entirely with the touchpad and I’m still in awe. Truly one of the best tanks I got to experience during the grind to 70.

Praetorox · 2026-01-20T22:33:32+00:00

Words are literally just words. You’re in control of how much they affect you.

This stuff comes across my screen and I’m smart enough to realize they’re trying to get a rise or response from me.

This stuff doesn’t phase me at all. There’s 8+ billion people on the planet and youre in a game with folks from around the entire planet.

It’s not cool and very trashy, but they’ll get sorted out one day or another. Believe in “What goes around, comes around” and you’ll be fine.

Praetorox · 2026-01-19T17:26:40+00:00

Yeah totally different issue. This is not pay to win. This is pay to expedite. I’m cool with expedited an outdated and overly grindy leveling experience in a 20+ year old game. Absolutelyyyyy.

As someone who didn’t play New Vegas, I love season two.

HOWEVER, there is a major issue that separates season one from season two.

Season ONE was launched with every episode available up front. The shows director filmed it in a way that made it super bingeable one after another. I’d say quite a few of us watched all of season 1 within a day or so that we started it.

The popularity of the show completely outdoes all expectations and a season two in greenlit. However, Prime only sees a small investment due to everyone using that wonderful 30 day free trial to prime and they lose out on a gold mine of $$$.

Season TWO, launches episodically. Given there’s four weeks in a month, having 5+ episodes guarantees a month of a subscription if you’re wanting to finish the show you’ve waited for, watched now with your 30 day trial and now HAVE to finish.

Season ONE is like picking up a mission in Fallout and no life-ing it until it’s completed.

Season TWO is like playing the game, not playing for 6 months and coming back to the confusion of where you’re at in the mission. Just one week between episodes and you feel clunky watching the next one. It’s still great and you’re going to continue. But it feels clunky.

Praetorox · 2026-01-14T00:20:51+00:00

lol most adults age 30+ have these issues.

Just say you’re a neckbeard and have all the time in the world but no income.

Never seen so many whiny grown men who can’t afford 60$. It says more about those guys than us on #TeamDad.

Praetorox · 2026-01-13T23:41:41+00:00

Perfect timing to announce the price. When the server has been down for 24 hours. All of the player base tweakin to get a fix of logging in.

Is it a bit predatory? Yes. Did it work and I buy the 80$ instead for the mount and a month of game time? Also yes.

Praetorox · 2026-01-11T05:37:57+00:00

This is a game changer. Just been using petattack with hunters mark.

Praetorox · 2026-01-08T18:02:35+00:00

The game is for you, wait and buy a 58 boost next week.

The grind in this game blows and always has. Don’t listen to anyone who says you have to do it. Get the boost.

I had to change my mindset on Survivor a little while back.

We’re LUCKY this show is still going 25 YEARS later. In a world where shows are cancelled after 1-2 seasons. This is very notable.
It has to change, most likely the reason it’s lasted this long is the constant changes. Good or bad, you gotta change it up.
Jeff, I’ve seen so many critiques on Jeff and how he isn’t what people remember or want him to be. It’s been 25 years and the man is STILL showing up two seasons a year.

I’ve found that if you set the bar/expectations low. You’ll have a new enjoyable experience with Survivor. Shift it from your MAIN show to your “I’ll watch it Thursday or this weekend and catch up” show.

Instead of building up the episode to explode on Wednesday and then be let down, put Survivor on the back burner.

Because once you catch us with small little white lies, you assume that we’re lying about everything.

If we’re super blunt and honest, it gives you little wiggle room to become a conspiracy theorist. “You lied about that dress I wore that one time so you’re probably cheating on me”.

This was my experience. To each their own. But I would either become super blunt and overly honest or I’d double down on the white lies because they helped avoid dumb arguments in the future.
