WoW spelled backwards is WoW.

So is Bob.
- Ypu're wrong. Bob spelled backwards is not WoW 🤓
  
  /s (obviously)
- Bob - Weird Al Yankovic might be up your alley.
  
  Madam I'm Adam
- So is racecar and abutttuba.
  
  A butt tuba > foot notes
BadLuckMax also snagged several pieces of ill-gotten Mythic gear, including the unfortunately named Rushed Beta Launchers boots which, being leather (and thus useless on a Paladin) feels like a brutal jab at Blizzard.

Is this a retail thing where Paladins can only wear plate or is the author not familiar with the mechanic? Plenty of paladins taking cloth/leather/mail in OG and Classic.
- from cata on you got 5% bonus to your primary stat for wearing your armour class, so plate for example on pally. but gear works differently in retail so all plate has strength and int on it so you really have no reason to use cloth or leather
- You get some kind of bonus if you wear your classes preferred armor type iirc.
Banning people in games is extremely difficult, annoyingly so.
- Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience!
  
  Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!!
  
  Oh really?
Lol what a mad lad
Any% clear!
So, is it the world first or not? They were technically the first...
ITT: I learn WoW is still a thing. Honestly thought that shit died like 15 years ago.
- You have to be living under a rock to not know that WoW is still an incredibly popular game. It’s easily still the most popular MMORPG
  
  It's a failed attempt at minimizing. Lots of people reply like that.
  
  I've been living under quite a rock then, haven't heard WoW even mentioned for years (and years)
  
  If the only pre-live service MMORPG still going strong.
  
  I genuinely didn't know it was still big. Everyone I know who played it quit ten years ago and expansion launches no longer hit my feeds.
  
  No you don't.
Is this news?
Wow is still a thing?
- Must be comfy under that rock
  
  The rock where I’m actually doing enough with my life so as to not be aware that a cartoonish video game still exists?
  
  Yeah. It’s pretty comfy.
There are people who still admit to playing World of Warcraft to other people?

Yikes
- There are people who still whine about what games others enjoy? Yikes.
  
  You are not yet aware that most people have severe self-worth issues?
  
  Nobody here is whining. I’m just surprised.
  
  It’s OK if you understand that. No one will hate you for it, I promise.
- Eh, whatever makes them happy.
  
  I suppose. One of my favorite games is from 1992 and called ultimate underworld.
  
  It was a far superior game regarding storyline, plot, and gameplay.
  
  But I’m not here to yuck anyone. Although that is quite literally what I did.
- I play WooooW
  Can't nobody mess with me noooow
