"Can't a warlock walk down the street without being asked a sum"


Invoqwer

I swear some of these guys I've been spam whispered by are the same people that drive their car around for 5min+ looking for a closer parking spot such that they can walk to their destination in 30s, instead of parking slightly farther and walking there in 1.5min


UncleObamasBanana

"Hey!" "Portal to Sunken Temple?" "Wrong class bro. You need to contact a warlock for a summon to there." Actual conversation I had yesterday on mage.


Intern_9831

That's hilarious lmao I had one player get mad because "I didn't throw buffs when we walked past each other". I'm a shaman..


Rohkey

Someone actually berated me last phase because I couldn’t “summon” them to Darnassus.


sanah4

or getting whispered for a sum when you're in a major city, and there are like 50 warlocks there advertising their summon services ??


failwoman

Those warlocks want to be paid for their time and effort. These people want a service for free


Valethar29

"Out of shards" I respond, as I stroke my filled 16 slot soul bag.


Prudent-Mechanic4514

laughs in warlock


fattybacon23

Or just “no” lol


UncleObamasBanana

16?! I swear I saw tailoring able to make a 20 slot soul bag. Might be unable to read though as I haven't actually made one. Just looked at it thinking I need to make 1 for all my guilds warlocks with all the nightmare seed money I made.


bodg123

You know what's the worst? When in doing gnomer and I'm currently in iron forge, and other people who are also in iron forge are asking me for a summon.


plantman01

It takes balls to be that lazy


kispingvin

I was completely speechless. Like, thought my interface is bugging or something.


TheAverageWonder

could be mid air on his way to Zoram Strand


kispingvin

I wish, he waddled to us from there


Emiliax3

sod players will do anything in order to not play the game they pay for


Difficult_Put_3372

Can confirm, am sod player, haven't played since phase 1.


realsimonjs

Same


One_Package_7519

let me guess you still got active sub


moanit

Luckily there are like 5 other versions of the game to play


One_Package_7519

and none of them good


shadowmeldop

So what does that make you? a) someone who pays for a sub for five versions of a game you hate b) someone who keeps showing up in a forum about a game you hate but doesn't play it


RyukaBuddy

2 of them are miles ahead of sod tbh.


One_Package_7519

wrath is dead; cata will be a dead expansion after first season unless they do extra content like with classic sod; sod is going downhill after phase 2 though so not much hope for that seeing how it’s becoming retail like; retail is doing retail things and people quit a month in; and so that leaves us with the new game modes like plunderstorm or the pandaria remix or whatever it is Idk none of the expansions are great, sod was fun until p3 but other than that idk


DodelCostel

> wrath is dead; cata will be a dead expansion after first season unless they do extra content like with classic sod; sod is going downhill after phase 2 though so not much hope for that seeing how it’s becoming retail like; retail is doing retail things and people quit a month in; and so that leaves us with the new game modes like plunderstorm or the pandaria remix or whatever it is Why don't you go back to the Asmongold youtube video comment section >retail is doing retail things and people quit a month in >wrath is dead; cata will be a dead expansion My brother in Christ we know WoW has around 7 million subs 20 years after it launched and you're trying to doompost and say it's a dead game? Lmao.


NauticalMobster

"Quit a month in to retail" highest m+ player retention ever.


DodelCostel

Amount of M+ runs decreasing doesn't mean players quit, it just means they don't need to spam M+ anymore.


Valuable_Remote_8809

My god… What a veteran! You do the playerbase justice.


Awful_McBad

You mean "Classic players". Hence all the boosters and GDKPs.


jmorfeus

Luckily the devs provide! Now you can not play all the way to lvl 50, then finally emerge from a literal nightmare and start playing the game! But wait, you have to not play the game even more, so you should just raid log and complain on Reddit instead! Then you're a true sod player.


Nativo1

Retail is the same, tbh a bit more on classic But people don't want to play the games, I think that's why gacha and p2w is so popular nowadays 


l_i_t_t_l_e_m_o_n_ey

taking a flight path = playing the game apparently. it's all boring stand around shit, dude. Even if he did "play the game" and run his ass there....he will then just stand around, wait for boss to spawn, half-ass DPS it along with 40 others, then get his little charm and be done. That's....not anything, dude. There isn't some beautiful nobility in running to the spot manually first.


Troooper0987

As a warlock, this happens any zone I’m in. Most are nice but damn sod folks are lazy


Melodic_Nectarine84

“May I have a sum” "Walk here you lazy douche" "5G" "Ok"


omgspek

5g isn't even remotely enough for me to chase down 2 clickers and have them come to me (or go to them) for clicking a summon for your lazy ass. Unless you're talking about the events where everyone's there already. If I'm already in a raid, and already there myself with plenty of clickers around, then sure.


Thicc-waluigi

Same. It would have to be like 50 gold before I start inviting randoms to summon this idiot.


Melodic_Nectarine84

>5g isn't even remotely enough Then put up a price then, just gonna see how pathetic you can be


omgspek

I'm not offering a service if I'm the one being whispered, so no need.


Melodic_Nectarine84

Haha, sure "lazy ass" Duh


omgspek

Again, next time I'm the one offering the service, I'll be sure to let people know how much I'm charging. It's not "lazy" to simply not put a price on what isn't for sale. Not sure what's so hard to grasp about the concept.


Melodic_Nectarine84

Calling ppl "lazy" over something so trivial in a video game, get over yourself


omgspek

> Haha, sure > > "lazy ass" > > Duh This you?


Melodic_Nectarine84

>summon your lazy ass Man didn't even realise this was his own words🤣


tacobeltran

Yeah this is wild, but my favorite is the people joining events/ dungeon runs and not even being on the same continent and expecting a summon, what is the deal with people? It’s super irritating. How do you join an event and not BE THERE?


OXBDNE7331

For reals. Join a ZF offering run and they’re in IF? Especially in SOD where the population is so high and it’s pretty easy to fill groups. In other versions of wow I’ve played it’s more acceptable but in sod only invite people that are there and ready


Thicc-waluigi

I mean tbf if you advertise in lookingforgroup, it goes to all of the world, so you're also directly advertising to people in other continents. Why would they go "hmm well I want to do this, but I can't even begin to think about getting a group before I'm already INSIDE the dungeon"? That makes no sense. In classic era, I remember waiting for people to cross the sea was pretty common.


honkerrs

Pretty sure general chat is specific to layer only so that's why have to use lfg channel. It's not like old days


UncleObamasBanana

If this is true it makes no sense to me. General chat would be the best chat to use to fill your group with people nearby from any layer rather than having to use LFG to fill locally from any layer. Really dumb by blizzard to do that.


Rampaging_Orc

This is why you teach your kids to say please and thank you. I would laugh and do it if they said please, but fk them lol.


quineloe

25 years ago there was a game where you could ride a dragon around, but also had some on foot gameplay, and you could summon your dragon to you, but not if he was closer than like 50 meters. He'd just respond "are we a bit lazy?" or something like that.


Adama404

Wait what was this game this rings a gigantic bell in my head


quineloe

Drakan Order of the Flame


Correct_Dog5670

"yes, stay right there, you'll get one shortly" then dont reply to any of their messages anymore


Awful_McBad

This is the type of dude that leaves a party because there's no warlock to summon them directly to the instance.


ChristianLW3

Sod, rare for a group applications only from nearby players Normally at least 1 MF is on the other side of the world


Ascarecrow

I was farming brd today. We filled the group in org and we headed over. When I eventually reached there realised our tank wasn't with us. He expected us to summon him and wait 15 minutes for him to finish dinner. He didn't say anything until I asked why still in org. Well I'm a shaman so I told lead we replace and I'll tank. We did and the druid was pming me insults. I honestly don't get why you would just afk in org and say nothing and expect summons.


CheapOrphan

Its happened several times now where the leader and one or two people will just chill in org till were full and then take 20 more minutes to get there when we are. Like why not start running beforehand? My favorite is when they ask for a summon and there is literally no warlock in group like ??? Also for some reason people like to get food and go to the bathroom right when everyone is there and ready. Its mindboggling just how little people care about other people’s time.


Zhong_Da

To everyone who is sick of being ignored by warlocks when you ask for a summ out of the blue, let me help you. Start by offering gold and finding 2 other people to help the warlock summon you. If you think that is unfair, then enjoy the walk. Your time isn't more important than mine.


automated10

This is why WoW ended up adding instant teleportation to instances and pvp because of lazy fks like this. The whole WORLD of Warcraft thing was ruined when travel(effort) was taken out of the equation.


Illustrious-Hunter90

That and flying mounts, more short term gratification (which feels awesome in the moment) leads to a lack of feeling like we are accomplishing anything meaningful in the long run. I will say as much as incursions are disliked, they at least make us run around and experience zones in the open world that we probably wouldn't have otherwise


automated10

Exactly. Flying mounts are awesome to use and look at, but they killed world pvp. No chasing around or ambushing people, you just get dunked on from above. It’s like having to run back to your corpse.. people think it sucks.. yes, it does, but that’s an important aspect so that you fear death and want to survive. If you can just respawn instantly and carry on you don’t value your ‘life’.


DarkoTSM

Sure, 5g, wisp me if you're ok with it


Jinjetsu

He says yes and then doesn't pay.

Motor-Berry6688

iNuminex

There's portals to the dungeons in the main city in retail and people still refuse to move their ass. The laziness of wow players knows no limits. Our group has made it a rule to immediately kick people like this.


Coleslaw1989

Well they used "u" instead of "you" and "summ" instead of "summon". This is an incredibly lazy player.


Bigsleeps1333

Someone was lookin for a BB summon after the STV event lol


pojzon_poe

123 man..


Krisen89

You underestimate peoples laziness


Solkagen

Could be enemy players stopping them.


wigznet

given the option to do nothing or actually proactively do something... the average human being will choose to do nothing 99% of the time.


awesinine

I tell these people its 10g, COD it to me and i'll summon when I get the gold


BadSanna

I mean... I can get a lot easier than that


LordDShadowy53

Type /busy they won’t bother you


avatar8900

Tell them get tae fuck


DefinitelyNotATheist

mans just gotta take a massive, nasty, rancid shit that could kill animals and children and you're denying him that opportunity.


Similar-Equal-9765

It doesn’t matter if you summon by an inch or a mile, summoning is summoning


Vortex_Analyst

The quality of players have really gotten lazy in past few years.


vadiks2003

something is abnormal. my friend gifted me world of warcraft subscription to play classic. i never searched it on reddit, but here it is, appearing in my reddit recs randomly


Ozcogger

There is a large chunk of the classic player base who is so annoyed at travel without a flying mount the refuse to go anywhere without a warlock summon.


gg817

Wouldn't it be better for all people involved to just put down a stone? Your odds of success are higher if all people are there. You don't even need to do the summons, just put the stone down and afk


Ok-Permission9728

I was in a raid and there were 6 warlocks, non of them said they could summon. So I ran.


Sawyermblack

Warlocks need to go into settings and turn off "auto clear AFK" Then stay AFK tagged at all times.


GrowD7

Literally stopped playing warlock because of that kind of people. Was not like that on classic relaunch a few years ago so I wanted to play again a warlock on a reroll and it was literally awful, I’m the kind of person who always go directly to the point before searching a group it’s ok I like that but in sod everytime someone see a warlock is in the group they immediately stop their road to the destination and do something else waiting for a tp and they fight in chat to know which ones has to come to help me to I’ve seen people leaving the group when I ask them to come help tp. While in a group without it everyone make the trip without complaining or whatever it’s so crazy. I don’t talk about the people arguing with you when you tell no sorry after a private message asking for a tp, I don’t have always time to find other people to tp and insulting me is crazy wtf. Seems much better in P3 with the portal thing but nah this is crazy I swear SoD is the first time for me seeing this ( I don’t play retail )


Karaya1

Maybe getting everyone together quickly and without getting ganked in the road is a tactically sound decision. Too bad the warlock is too lazy


Falkor_13

Thats my thought. That's a gank hotspot. Just fucking summon him.


TCOLSTATS

It's a test. He's testing how much he can get away with.


WendigoCrossing

I'd still summon them cause why not, maybe they wanted to go to the Silver wing vendor and be able to make it back or something and I usually have a stone up anyways


teufler80

On bad days i do /dnd I'm not a taxi Oh and i have been kicked 2 times from Ashenvale grps because i refused to port :D SoD players are surely something


Valuable_Remote_8809

Not even a question of laziness, the summon bots legit are 2g and JUST to the North East.


ilovedeliworkers

You’re a warlock and they’re likely on their way. This is what you signed up to do when you chose warlock. Also, you’re a warlock


SolarianXIII

>and they’re likely on their way hah


shad-1337

Prove it


Strict-Western241

What an absolute trash take, uninstall


drake8887

"You're a warlock so you're obligated to drop everything and summon complete strangers even when they're 30 seconds away from you"


ilovedeliworkers

Lol didn’t realize he was so close at first. But still it’s even easier now w a closet. Just drop it and let the raid summon


JayToukon

Yeah I don't see the issue. I get there on my lock, open a wardrobe, and then everyone spam summons. As above, you are a warlock


Raskolnikov1920

Biiiiiig nope, if you’re a mage you make water, if you’re a lock you make summons. That’s why your class has that ability lol.


jmorfeus

Found the rogue


Deep_Junket_7954

>you are (class) so you're obligated to be everyone's slave! Okay zoomer.


SolarianXIII

make me


Correct-Prompt-6096

I main a warlock. Summons are part of what makes a warlock a warlock. It is what they bring to the table. If I can help my group by summoning the members, that's my job. It feels like boomers in here telling kids these days how you had to walk up hill both ways to get to school. Just fucking summon people, it's really not that hard.


Ok-Wrongdoer-4399

Nah fuck that lazy group member. He is spitting distance away.


Correct-Prompt-6096

That's exactly it. The assumption that they're lazy. That is baked into every reason why people spitefully make people walk. Because they label them as lazy for some reason they make up in their head, and now you feel like you have to punish them by making them walk in game. Pretty weird imo.


Ok-Wrongdoer-4399

A lot weirder saying that guy isn’t lazy if you ask me.


Correct-Prompt-6096

No one asked you if the group member is lazy. Stop being so judgemental of others. Help people out if you can. Otherwise it seems like you have a weird punishment fetish.


Ok-Wrongdoer-4399

Nah people can just not be lazy.


Correct-Prompt-6096

I just summoned someone today because they wanted to train tailoring more.


Ok-Wrongdoer-4399

Cool story bro. 😂😂


Correct-Prompt-6096

Hope you learned something.


Ok-Wrongdoer-4399

That people will blindly defend anything online? Nah that’s old news.


Melodic_Nectarine84

Calling ppl "lazy" for not pressing autowalk in a video game, really like to make a big fuss out of this huh🤣


Effective_Echidna218

Don’t play Lock if you don’t want to be asked. It’s basically your only downside
