Q u o t e:
I see it like in every other post.
"OMG How original! An Alliance Shamn LOLWTFOSAMABINLADN!"
I don't understand this at all.
Why would anyone think that people wouldnt take advantage of one of the new race's classes?
Making fun of people on the internet is a given, I understand this. But I dont understand the reasoning behind this one.
It boils down to the fact that some people, feel a disdain for anything seemingly "trendy". This applies to any aspect in life. It's ironic that often times, as a result an anti-trend is born, which in reality (as far as I'm concerned) is just a trend in itself because ultimately what you're doing is following a system of beliefs or a group type, only for the sake of rebelling against what's deemed an offensive trend.
Anyway, I actually created a Draenei Paladin. I took great enjoyment when I typed in general, "Man, I'm so excited that I'm finally able to create a Paladin on the Alliance, I've waited so long for this to be possible and the day is finally come!", at which point I was flamed by all those who had no idea that I was joking. At least it caused all of the players in the zone to band together to ridicule a common enemy. Being the target of their text based massacre was a small price to pay for helping players to bond with one and other.
