Piccolina shouldn't be bannd imo, that was real ''clever use of game mechanics'' and not an exploit. She was using the mobs and her class, not glitching out of the map or editing the game files, it was blizzards fault for not fixing it before it went to live.
1 day bann for clever use of game mechanics is really not that bad... It's pretty obvious it's a bug if they release a RAID instance and you can solo it. IF you exploit that unintentional game mechanic and clear multiple bosses solo... you are going to have some sort of punishment..
How was it a bug?
All spells worked as intended, blizzard just didn't think of that possibility.
The player should've been rewarded, or atleast don't face any punishment for something blizzard did wrong.
Sataniq, if you discover a mechanic that appears to give you literal invincibility... you should report it. Not exploit that game mechanic for personal gain (Which Piccolina did...). If you utilize something like that it falls under "clever use of game mechanics" which is Blizzard's nice way of saying "Dude you know what you did...". It wasn't reported, that character, if I recall correctly, used that method of clearing for 2 lockouts before posting that video... That's fundamentally cheating...
I dont think you know what the definition of a fucking bug is. You are just as stupid as the people that banned the player.
"Software Bug: A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways."
I'm pretty sure I understand its definition perfectly.
Pretty lame of Blizz calling the bone armor / incanter's ward combo an "exploit." Its a very clear and fair use of game mechanics. It isn't up to the player to have to make guesses at what Blizzard considers a morally Ok play style.
That is absolutely disgusting. I hope that person stopped paying for the game after that.
We shouldn't have to guess, there's a clear line of exploiting and clever uses, like, bugged the base in WSG with the flag is exploiting, using your toolkit and the tools your were given with your class and ability from a mob is a clever use of tools GIVEN to you by Bliz themselves
@Lon Hixson Can you explain how that was cheating? lol
@Lon Hixson they didn't exploit anything lol you're just salty that you're shit at the game
There's a very simple outline here. What is obvious is that current raid content is not meant to be soloable. So, the exploit part comes in when she goes away with all the loot. She was supposed to report this unintended feature, not reap its benefits. By the way, it was only a 24-hour ban.
I healed Vurtne once in Tyr's Hand as he was getting attacked by 3 people.
He didn't even need it. He killed them before he reached half health, but he thanked me anyway.
Could have helped. Giving him the extra health means he has more to work with and can afford to take bigger risks that may have been the difference maker.
@Chris D'oulmeth you should go to malmo sweden record it and bring a girl with you and see if sweden is still safe for swedes xD
@@goldenmemes51 You're really creative and funny, friend. It's amazing that you could come up with such a fresh and non-recycled joke. Haha, Swedistan BTFO, am I right guys?
Surprising seeing you here, Mangs.
@@goldenmemes51 pathetic
They took Piccolina’s GEAR?
for just using the spells as intended?
Wow, indeed.
Yeah that’s fishy. Why get in trouble for using an ability they weren’t ready to be used too well.
Blizzard doesnt like to admit their game had huge problems
Yeah that shit is upsetting. Piccolina had a clever use of skills that were in the game by design and then got punished for it?
@@kelvyiturralde8111 Very true. Blizzard can be such big babies about their games. Not afraid to throw down the ban hammer at all.
@@Chosinn Im not surprised people stopped playing this fkin game. When a company fucks up with their coding, its their fault, not the players'. Unless its a game-breaking bug exploit, thats maliciously used - you cant ban people for that.
Blizzard's Litmus test for an 'exploit'
"Does it make us look bad?"
> Yes
"Not only should we fix the exploit, and take the stuff back, ALSO BAN THE PERSON."
Blizzard was suuuuper spiteful back then. Especially considering Piccolina's example isn't actually an exploit in any sense of the term, all the abilities very much were working as a player could expect.
Funnily enough during BC, Nihilum exploited a bug on Lady Vashj and then told Blizz about it. Blizz let them keep the world first honor, so Blizz isn't 100% consistent.
Reminds me of League of Legends. In a gimmick gamemode, a group of five players won two matches by circumventing the mechanics in an entirely legal way, by never killing the enemy (so they couldn't go back to their base and buy items) They stalled the game out until the other team surrendered.
Banned all the players for 2 weeks. went on to lessen the ban but still made em serve about a week for it.
Cosmic Kirby why wouldn't they just suicide into the towers?
It was Acension, a mode with no towers. If the enemy team picked up the first objective, there's nothing that can actually damage them, and they can't recall to their platform (or walk back) to buy items.
Cosmic Kirby what about minions? I'm pretty sure ascension had minions. A player could just die to a pile of minions.
That bone armor "exploit" is bullshit. That's not an exploit. If the spell is stealable, and there are talents in a mages tree that allowed that to happen, then it was 100% legit. It's not the mages fault that Blizzard allowed that to happen.
What's not legit is reaping the benefits from an unintended feature. By the way, stop moaning. It was a short-term ban only. People don't die if they don't get to play their MMO for 24 hours.
@@moscanaveia
But it WAS legit. She used intended features, in an intended way, and got treasure. Blizzard was just throwing a tantrum that someone beat the dungeon easier than they expected.
That doesn't make it less legit, it means they were smart.
@@Alizudo You are the one who's throwing a tantrum for a 24 hour ban
@@moscanaveia
I'm not?? I'm just voicing how the ban was unfair, and underserved
@@Alizudo Twenty four hours. Your mom can do worse, and I suppose that's unfair
Blizzard: "You're playing your class correctly? How dare you...?"
*ban*
I wonder if this is why mages nowadays don't even know Spellsteal exists..
Wouldn't it be more like "you're soloing current raid content and keeping all the loot and gold to yourself?" Don't get me wrong, it was amazing what she pulled off, and the loophole was left open by Blizzard. Doesn't excuse her of wanting to benefit from it, rather than report it.
A mosca na véia so what? You want to benefit from the game you pay monthly for without cheating how dare you.
@@mw-ys1qq Without cheating? Really, you wanna take it that far? What she did was interesting (I acknowledged as much myself), and it certainly was very educational for Blizzard from a game design perspective. But she got the whole loot from a whole wing, by using an unintended feature from the game. Imagine being the ignorant rube, the schmuck, the loser who couldn't pull off a solo on the whole wing, but instead ran it on a guild raid night with friends and had to compete with thirty-odd other people for need rolls and gear drop slots.
And the 24 hour ban is nothing, I hope you can at least acknowledge that.
@@mw-ys1qq Oh, and did she even report that "feature" which she "cleverly and meritocratically adapted" in order to solo over current raid content on a squishy ranged dps class? Or was she interested simply in getting some easy loot with that little feature? I am honestly interested in hear her side of the story, not that of some neckbeards who are insulted that her loot was taken away and she had no wow for 24 hours.
For me, exploits like Piccolina's are just clever uses of game mechanics! Sure, any sort of game mechanic that can be used to such a degree needs to be patched, but so long as she reports it to Blizzard shouldn't she be recognized as a hero of sorts? I mean, figuring out how to defeat a raid by yourself when normally it requires multiple people, that's gotta be something to be proud of.
Xendor Dawnburst no you wrong bizzerd you don’t go against
DiedTo Cows please tell me you are joking
Danny People ask “you’re joking right” because they don’t know if that person is, or isn’t. This is the Internet where sarcasm or jokes don’t come across that well at times.
"In celebration they launched a raid on Stormwind City"
Yes, that is the proper Horde way to celebrate :D
Lok'tar
This series is fantastic! Nostalgia to the max!!
Thanks for watching, Zybak!
Man Zybak was hooked on your feral vids back in the day!
ZybakTV yeah, certainly brings me fond memories of my childhood.
Hey it's ZybakTV...speaking of old skool :P
I'm actually wondering will the Protection Warrior who figured out how to make a killing machine out of protection warrior with PvP using shield bash dealing ton of damage get a spot on this? EDIT NEVERMIND IT WAS SWIFTY
u should mention the korean warlock player Drakedog for his awesome Destruction PVP videos
"Everybody knows who ... is"
And here I am, and I only really heard of Leeroy, playing the game since 2005.
Back in Vanilla and even BC, servers were more like little communities. I played on Gurubashi and we had our own "famous" players. Cabana (shadow priest), Nition (rogue), and a warrior I can't remember the name of. Cabana even had a song written about her (or him?) from some warrior on the server...something about wanting to "hear her RL psychic scream". Anyway, it doesn't surprise me that most people have never heard of most of these people. If you weren't on their server, you would only have known it if you trolled the forums a lot.
but did you remember the alamo?
Joel Priddy And we (Brazilians) were the infamous on Gurubashi haha, I loved that server so much haha
I spent way too much time on the forums, so I was aware of DoubleAgent and Alamo at least
Number 2 was no way a exploit. They stole enemies enchantments/buffs what ever from a skill that was made to do so and cleverly used it to their advantage able to tank bosses. That's how the mechanics where made a exploit is when a a mechanic is used how it is not supposed to. blizzard made a skill that steals buffs, they used it to steal buffs, they soloed bosses. not a exploit.
Yea that was really dumb
Forest yeah, fuck blizzard
@@dragenfire68 Yeah, that was a rotten decision by Blizzard.
Integrity In Christ Ministry
LMAO I love to sarcasm
Getting banned because you play the game, you use game mechanics or try to level your way as stupid as it seems to be its their choice... ffs blizzard

The idea that "+7 agility" on Vurtne's gloves is because he can't afford anything better is stupid. Back then there was no caster enchant for gloves, +20 Fire or +20 Frost spell dmg enchant came in later.
And agility provided armor and a chance to dodge, minor, but a bonus still.
but to be fair, it was hard to afford anything in vanilla unless you boringly grinded places like Tyr's hand... and then contest with nothing but chinese farmers there.
seems like he lvld enchant on his gloves I guess
I'm pretty sure wands benefit from ranged attack power, so they'd get stronger wand damage too
@@moscanaveia Not as an ENCHANT which is what my post was about, so........
@@moscanaveia No, the yellow text in +agi is the enchant itself.
Did you begin playing yesterday or something man? wtf
Never played wow except the starting area at a friends house in vanilla but I love the concept of getting famous in an online game. Enjoying the videos a lot!
should give it a go now that classic is out. it's a really great game, just takes a little bit of dedication to get into.
Was cool to see Unbreakable mentioned. That was my absolutely inspiration for playing an Enhancement Shaman in Vanilla. I never got Sulfuras but I did have The Unstoppable Force which was almost as good. I still remember my first Windfury one-shot against a Dwarf Priest in WSG who was decked out in mostly T2 gear.
Gutrot did the ironman challenge with a monk...
Before mist of pandaria came out
Mute, Swifty, Vurtne, Unbreakable, Grim... Really glad you got those WoW Classic pvp legends in these videos. I never get tired of seeing their vids ^_^
finally Vurtne!:D you forgot to mention that they made a guild called "Nemesis" just to kill him. they would group up 40 players and sit on vent just to kill him. also he hacked thier vent and enterd as "Mantower". so in some of the clips you can acutally hear then get excited when they find him and angry when they get rekt. but you have to be swedish to understand what they say.
Wooooowwww I remember that. These kids today, they don’t know fun ;)
vurtne had agility on gloves because at the time there was no other viable alternative and agility provided armor, that if the video is pre AQ opening after there was a pattern dropped in raid but required expensive mats and gave spel dmg if i recall correctly
that is true IIRC. I actually have a pair on gloves with the enchant...think it was +20 spell.,..something. On my T3 gloves from way back then =)
and dodge
Did not know that...I bring shame upon my fellow vanilla players! Thanks for the info.
malee crit not spel crit :-)
ye that too :-)
Love your videos MadSeason, thanks for take the time to make them.
Knowing about Gruhl in TBC and the fact that his preboss was only tankable by a mage makes the piccolina-case even more crazy. So in one expansion Blizz forces mages to tank by stealing buffs but in the next one they ban you for doing so. Smart.
really good series
That mage soloing naxx is 100% not an exploit.. he or she literally did nothing but play their class lol o.O, didn't do any weird game mechanics abusing. Using your spell and talents as they are designed is just USE of game mechanics haha. I know i know.. doing something like this that is clearly unintended can be categorized as an exploit, but cmon..
i was going to say the same thing, yeah fair game you can hit her with a 24 hour ban, whil you fix the bone armour but i cant take away the rewards for it because it was something that clearly would have taken a whil to figure out, and its just being smart with your class, not expoloiting, i am sad for this mage tbh
Kalum Iain McKerlich-Young agreed. Should have been given a pat on the back and got to keep the loot
Blizzard is renowned for punishing people that played their toons to their maximum abilities.
Why does everyone say "he/she"? Why not just say "they"?
I Don't play wow anymore but I still love watching these videos. Been here since 10k and don't plan on ever leaving
For the +7 agility to gloves... in Vanilla there was a long time before there were any caster enchants for gloves. Agility was always chosen because it was cheap and gave a little extra dodge chance.
Your content is such good quality
Cool vid. I have to side with the player on number two. Mechanics, period. That kid should have been congratulated and thanked by Blizz. He should have been allowed to keep his loot for showing Blizz how THEY messed up...
Glad to see Swify on here. He was on my server back in the Vanilla days (Darkspear). I went up against him multiple times and lost, being a priest and all. These are great nostalgia videos. Keep up the great work!
I see exploiters like Piccolina as more clever than villainous. Hey, blame Blizzard. They put it in the game.
Aww, nice end...We're all a bit famous now ;)
Been binge watching your vids. My god your comedic timing and humor are absolutely divine! Thank you for the delightful content and the strolls down memory lane. Just curious if it would be possible to have a video about famous/infamous servers? Cheers!
Thanks for making the effort to show this casual player how a number common references in wow came about. I enjoyed all three videos, so thank you very much :)
I remember playing with vurtne one day 7 years ago and he taught me a lot about pvp in WOW as I was just starting out (he told me and taught me tactics that I could use later on when u maxed and got decent gear) I will never forget this act of kindness.
I dont even play wow,why am I watching these series?
Reverse annie ask yourself
I don't play either, but I've watched all videos of this serie lol
because its interesting and wow is such a huge part of peoples lives even to this day
It's always interesting to hear about the celebrities of another world.
Reverse annie got The same Problem...
Love this series! You should talk about Narshe from Frostmane-EU who had the "rarest mount" in the game, the Fluorescent Green Mechanostrider.
Great suggestion...thanks! I knew about the mount but not the name.
It was removed from him during patch 6.2 according to wowhead. He apparently tried to sell his account.
7 agility was actually the best enchant you could get pre patch 1.9 for pvp, which gave you 0.4% dodge as a mage. It was not until the release of AQ that you got to choose between 20 frost/fire/shadow spell damage to gloves :)
not only do you bring back awesome memories but you also shed light on MANY thing I and many other did not know! I player since the burning crusade but I missed out on all these awesome vanilla stories hahah thanks SO MUCH for these videos!
I remember this guy who solo'd scholomance (hunter) cool guy
That guy doing the quest to open that spider cave or whatever, I wouldn't count that as a kill because I assume that he didn't know that it would erroneously count it as a mob kill. He's a true pacifist. cx
I contacted DoubleAgent during his leveling progress from 1-90 in Mists of Pandaria. I rewarded him with a gifted mount when he hit 90. He's been an inspiration to me ever since.
god i remember Vurtne's videos... watching them when they released back then. so much nostalgia!
Aw shit, here comes the melee troll, punching the shit outta demons in outland! The alliance will never stand a chance against him
DexterousCobra A weapon to surpass metal gear.
next warchief confirmed
Naked troll men have best ass.
"the last famous player is you"
who wrote that bit of your script? Nintendo?
If you do one of these again, you HAVE to include Tinyviolin. Not just for him being the reason booning became a think, but also the diabolical year long setup in hardcore WoW. Absolute menace.
I forget his name, but back when weapon skills were in game, there was a max-level (60) dwarf hunter who had a bow and crossbow skill of 1 and a gun skill of 6 (because dwarfs got +5 skill to guns). He played on an RP server and his character was incapable of shooting a ranged weapon due to an injury sustained during the Third War. He melee'd only as a hunter and got to 60. Quite impressive.
Doomhandle? The 3minute mage from magetheridion.
"10 years late. Fraps from a geared vanilla mage"for anyone whos interested
I ran into that one a few months back. Yeah, that vid is something else. Too bad he lost his old hard drive with most of his footage on it. He does cover his story well, and the comments are incredible if you have the time to read them all considering how much of an impact he made. Ten years later and people from out of the blue are stopping by to say, "Hey, you're that guy!" There's probably more than a few of these now under-the-radar pvp players out there, just glad he found a few clips for his portfolio. As some of the 4500+ comments indicate, it was a big part of people's lives back then and something worthwhile to remember.
Yea wtf where's Doomhandle
Fun fact: Arathi Basin BG used to have swirly instance exit portals when BGs were new. My friends and I used to lure Alliance players behind the stables where my priest friend would mind control them and walk them out of the BG. I like to think we had a hand in the removal of those portals.
Nathan T WSG also had those I remember.
Jesus, it took three videos for Swifty to come into play here? I know he's mostly known today for his PVP video series, but he's single-handedly got major interactions with warrior abilities and items changed. Surprising it took so long to get him on these lists.
Piccolina got wronged there. He/she just used normal mechanics, no exploiting at all, literally using the tool blizzards gave to the mage class. It's their own fault for making that bone armour a magic effect.
Ogre Council in Gruul comes to mind since you do need to spell steal.
As far as Infamous people go, there's always Snowfox, the former forum MVP, or Lovefool. Those are at least the most recognizable forum posters I constantly see/saw.
But I feel that your judgement has made this series great so far. Suggesting people like Lore or MikeBakaFony would be odd as there's not much to say than "oh they made a bunch of videos". Perhaps "Darnell" the undead might be appropriate?
Or the creator of the LENGTHY Machinima movie series "Tales of the Past"? Dude made a feature length film.
If I remember correctly, Agility gave dodge chance to every class back in Vanilla. Probably why he had it on his gloves.
Has anyone mentioned Joana? Winner of Blizzard's "Race to 50" contest, first to max level on multiple vanilla servers, and the person with the fastest 1-60 record /played
I never played past level 10, but I still love this series. Keep it up.
Reading Alamo's posts has me lightheaded from laughing so hard.
I need a tree druid to heal me.
I was on Lightning’s Blade with Ming, good dude. Dueled him many times outside Org. Even killed him a few times which was a great feat. His theory crafting was top notch and way ahead of his time.
Other LB legends were the guild Timeless then forming into Aftermath with Hounds of Valhalla?? There was a famous warrior too, his name escapes me though.
I specifically remember an alliance guild named WhiskeyBent Outlaws that was kill on sight for many horde guilds... ahhh good times... when server community actually mattered.
Aedak was the tauren warrior
Though I no longer play I really enjoy your videos, especially ones that talk about the history of WoW, really nostalgic! Keep it up and I hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves.
Vurtne. Remember watching his videos. He was so ahead of his time and had some really entertaining videos. What a God!
"How dare you being good at the game, here is a ban for you and go think of what you have done" Blizzard Logic
pvp series but no mention of the first pvp'er of all? Drakedog?!
Drakedog, best warlock back in the days!
I had him on the list, but cut it at the last minute since I thought there might have been too many pvpers for one video. I got him lined up for the next one though!
There's also his mage counterpart, Otherguy in Sorrowhill series
first thing i thought when he mentioned pvpers was drakedog, bloody legend that bloke
There is no such thing as the first pvp'er. it takes two to pvp minimum ..therefor there cant be a single first at it ! :P
Only just come across part three and saw a part four its made lockdown a little better..... a posthumous thank you madseasonshow.
Came across your channel just today, really enjoying your content.
Keep it up, Madseason!
Once ZG was released and the Living Action potion recipe was live, rogues lost everything.
99% of rogues actually had no skills; but could get by on 10sec of stun vs scrubs.
Piccolina’s case is exactly why I will never play wow even if I have an mmo rpg itch.
Blizzard made the buff but didn’t test it, one player simply uses the buff to their advantage and gets banned for doing something that blizzard never intended but never stated not to do.
And this game is a subscription service? What a joke.
its not even like he secretly abused it, he fucking uploaded it to yt
so glad Grim made it into this episode. Still a legend in my eyes, and god damn, all his use of Rammstein music has ingrained into my brain and I love it. Rammstein and WoW go hand in hand for me cause of him. And I wouldn't have started playing if I didn't see the Grim PvP videos.
I played with Alamo in our guild, Lobster Brood. Was top guild horde side on Thunderhorn. I played a rogue named Morbide. Alamo was actually a lawyer IRL if I recall correctly. He'd log on every day and say, "HAY GUSY!" And would roleplay that grammar throughout the whole raid, was a blast.
Xantim Shadow Priest PvP
Vanilla Agility = Dodge
Also, RIP Unbreakable. He died a couple years after the video clip of him used here. 😕
No he didn't. He got in a car accident but he didn't die. He quit mid-BC, came back for WOTLK and Cata and then quit for good in 2012. Supposedly he's playing classic, who knows.
One pacifist player you should look into is Raaandy from the peacecraft series on polygon, not nearly as popular in game but was a sight to behold kissing as many npcs as possible, even holding an assault on ogrimar for a kiss.
Imagine being a citizen of Stormwind, you're out for a walk by the city gates, and then dozens if not hundreds of half-naked trolls just flood into the city. I love it XD
so many good memories. had fun sharing this video series with friends I used to play with.
Awesome video series there MadSeason. How about going in a slightly different dirrection for the next episode? You could showcase some of the famous/infamous players who showed their passion for WoW outside of it, like say through music and machinima. You could feature The druid boyz, PvP Gurl Gigi, Decision, Jace Hall, Nhym, TotemlyCool, Sharm, Summergale, PvPSienna, Letomi, A6, and on and on.
Just a thought. Cheers. ;)
Sounds like an interesting idea! I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion, Kopita.
Could also talk about "the guild" series with Felicia Day, I loved watching it
Very cool Idea! I feel like Nhym deserves a video by himself though. Back in BC I feel like he was the biggest character/person outside of the game, My friends and I would be singing his songs in School like the nerds we were lmao
Oxhorn deserves a shoutout too. Videos like Red Snappa and ROFLMAO are legendary.
ARCANITE REAPER! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Give us more of this, please!
I played Vanilla on Tichondrius, alliance, and we had a certain personality that everyone on the server knew by the name of Steelballa. He was a paladin, though he didn't spend a lot of time raiding or pvping when he was on. His favorite thing to do was talk to people, and shout his own name. Love him or hate him, there was no middle ground. Many people thought he was desperate for attention, though many loved his carefree attitude and witty comebacks. No matter how much people shit on him, it never really seemed to bother him. He was who he was and wasn't going to let internet griefing get him down. I was in his guild, and he never would volunteer to come to raids, mainly because he had an unpredictable schedule. When we tried to get to know him a bit better, he was hesitant to tell us not only his real name, but where he lived or what he did for a living. He also would never come on vent and talk to us, citing unstable internet as the reasoning behind it. Around that time, Dave Chapelle let it slip that he was playing more WoW than he was comfortable admitting, and that led us to believe that he was Dave Chapelle. It all fit. I think years later it finally was debunked when he finally caved for good internet, but that was long after I had left the game and he was trying to rebuild the old guild in what I think was Cataclysm. He was well known on both sides though, and Im sure many old schoolers will remember him as well if they heard his name.
Bro I love these videos.
Your historical videos about WoW's past are my favourite. I still love current WoW, but these give me a ton of nostalgia and are really well done. Thanks for all the great content.
I used to ruin lives with my human rogue back in the day like most of you. But still, i remember those damn mages with the broken double pyroball mechanic.
Any chance you know the 1st mage to use it? Or the one who made it famous? I've seen some old videos around.
the most famous player is MadSeasonShow actually
Aww =)
SteamierSpring wut bout nixx? Or asmonbald...or even Az
Piccolina should have been rewarded for finding a major oversight by blizzard. But they banned him instead
I’ve got a suggestion, he may be not overly well-known but Nljay from the Moon Guard server. I believe at one point he was the richest player in WoW and he singlehandedly ran/yanked the entire Moon Guard economy.
u should have more subscribers, your content is badass
CAT DURID IS 4 FITE!
Loved the video. Great trip down memory lane. During the first WotLK xpac, there was a gnome mage [arcane] by the name of.. Orangemarmalade i believe who won a 3v3 tournament solo after his priest and rouge partners died... Maybe he'll make a spot on ur list
Man Vurtne was a beast, those videos were so well edited and entertaining.
You need to include paragon in your next video
mad: "everyone knows who swifty is"
me: who tf is swifty
if you’re an avid player of WoW you would know who he is
type in swifty and watch his videos best warrior ever .
Came across your videos recently and had to watch to see swifty mentioned. I started 2 months before BC came out and actually was able to dual swifty once on my mage outside Ironforge. He destroyed me as he was so fast breaking out of CC and that in combat charge macro was elite.
I have never played WoW and I don't remember anything about the Warcraft game I played for a short time as a kid, yet I enjoyed these 3 videos quite a lot. Top tier naration and awesome stories, from a mysterious world, I have yet to explore. I hope, if there's ever a part 4, that I will find it c:
7agility on gloves in vurtne's vid was because it is the best enchant for mages during that time (dodge, armor). Spellpower was absurdly expensive and only came late down into vanilla raiding content.
Absurdly expensive, true.
On the chronological matter, wrong.
Spellpower enchant is brought in game with 1.4. This is the patch where the honor system was introduced.
Was it not introduced with AQ? Been a long time :p
Sorry dude I lied to you.
I messed up weapon enchant with gloves enchant.
My apologizes. You're right ! once more sorry
It is idd with AQ. Mages needed 2 netherwind gloves. one for the frost SP enchant and one for the Fire sp enchant.
I'm so glad I walked away from Blizzard forever. Even back then, they were absolute bastards. If I was on the dev team, I'd have looked at what Piccolina did, went "Wow! I'd have never thought of that! That's pretty clever". It'd warranted a change of mechanics to no longer make that possible, but he deserved to keep the loot.
@@TodorSRB To be honest, they allways been uneven with bans. Like how they recently banned ALOT of ppl for using a exploit where you split a stack of xp boosting potions to make them stack, so if you had 10x +30% xp you coud split them and gain +300% xp. The pots cost ALOT and was prob not worth it but ppl still did it and some youtubers/streamers got a 28day ban.
But you sign off on terms of agreement... It's extremely unfair to progression to exploit and solo current content gear.
I remember when my brother and I (XSpidey the Night Elf Hunter and Nodoomiku the Orc Hunter) somehow talked the majority of Aries Peak into PVP, clashing at the Crossroads and pushing into Orgrimmar causing so much lag that Alliance players were freely able to walk around Orgrimmar before the server finally crashed and did a roll back, got to love the old vanilla days.
On a related/not related note; in original wow, one of the very best "sets" for clothies before a player could get high rank pvp gear was wearing 2 pieces of each class dungeon sets, 2 priest 2 mage 2 warlock, for the +200 armor bonus. +600 armor was really good for cloth classes in pvp
I think a certain Player who is still active as of today named *Mionee* deserve to be in this list, this dude solo raid bosses and Mythic + Dungeons like it's nothing.
check out his channel: Mionelol it's really impressive.
Added to the to-do list. Thanks Bling!
Mionelol is actually a girl
She's a draenei, she has a big tail
IDK
I think Mione is a Guy but mostly play girl character, cause I might have heard a video of him speaking and it was a dude's voice
(Edit: Actually here's the video i'm referring to)
ruclips.net/video/WtbAb3Kjzvg/видео.html
it also seems he is french
Mionelol is a ledge, soloing current content/expac stuff, so happy to see they're still around.
This was something that happened in my Bc raiding guild. It was quite the controversy.

I don't even play WoW but your videos are so informative that I want to learn more about the lore and in game culture. Thanks for making these awesome videos!
the best series on RUclips hands down
Copperfield from shattered hand server
Got him on the to-do list...quite the character!
I want the Kripparian!
Kripparian!
Dabelju: W I do not!
No!
why?
And what notable thing did that idiot ever do for WoW?
Cokeman He popularized the ironman challenge for starters. He was quite big in wow back in the days, playing in one of the top NA guilds
He was just a pro
I never have and probably won't ever play WOW, but this series still intrigues me. Cool vids my guy.
Whenever you get to Pat, dont forget to mention the 52 point talent bug during Pat PVP 2, where you would place a point into mortal strike, gain the ability, but keep the point, allowing you to have Mortal Strike + Death Wish.
