World of Warcraft/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]:

** It's unlikely Onyxia would have been gotten away with a thousandth of what she got away with if not for people's assumption that she was the returned King's mistress and previously Bolvar's. In all likelihood, she really was the returned Varian's mistress for the short time she had him [[Charm Person|spellbound]].

* [[Fake Difficulty]]: Back in Vanilla and TBC, it was exceptionally difficult to try get gear for entry level dungeons after new tiers were released, due to the playerbase having a tendency to flat out declare themelves "done" with the old dungeons and from that point on. This lead to the [[Can't Catch Up]] phenomenon, where players who ''still'' needed gear from these dungeons and quests were stuck waiting for a group to form since the players focusing on all of the new stuff wouldn't lift a finger to help unless it was for the new things. It's quite frustrating on both ends, to have to run a dungeon for the umpteeth time because people still haven't learned how to play, but also frustrating when you ''want'' to raid but can't because nobody seems interested in what you need to do. Thankfully, this has been fixed as of Wrath and Cataclysm, with each new tier usually coming alongside new 5-men dungeons and badge/justice point gear that give easy access to gear equivalent to that of the previous tier, enabling easy access to the new raids.

** Due to guild advancement/achievements now giving guild perks, it will be considerably easier to do this. The more achievements and guild XP for things like old world raids, the better perks you get, like instantly teleporting the entire raid to your position.

* [[Moe]]: Mylune, a Dryad with [[Puppy Dog Eyes]] that gives you quests to save the critters that roam around a burning forest. She even ''squees.''

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Potentially, ''you'', if you play a Death Knight. While soulless in the service of Arthas, you're complicit in genocide, butchering civilians under the protection of [[Knight Templar|the Scarlet Crusade]], and torture. Depending on the individual Death Knight, this may or may not be [[More Than Mind Control]].

** {{spoiler|Varimathras and his faction of the Forsaken}} arguably triggered this trope when they {{spoiler|betrayed both the Horde and Alliance at the Wrathgate, resulting in the death of a major Alliance NPC and reigniting the Horde vs. Alliance war}}.

** One particular group of Naga damn well crossed it in The Blasted Lands during ''Cataclysm''. They betrayed and enslaved the entire Murloc population in the zone, even the babies. Hate Murlocs or not, that is just God damn depressing.
