Preaching in WoW !? Taking it to the next level...
*DISCLAIMER* : Since everybody is so sensitive nowadays (especially about religion), this post has no intention of mocking any belief system and/or religion, just a simple calm discussion about the recent events that i encountered whilst playing the game.
The other day, i decided to start fresh on the infamous x1 rate Lordaeron server, made myself a nice Night Elf Warrior, and immediately joined global /6 chat because running from point A to point B can get really boring and global chat just makes it that much easier. So there i was, killing some spiders, when i noticed that a distinguished group of people started quoting phrases from the Hebrew bible. At first i though it was just somebody trolling and it'll go away in a couple of minutes, but i was deceived. It continued throughout the day , and the next day, and the day after, which actually made me write this forum post. These couple of people who were posting and talking excessively about religion started a couple of sh*tstorms across the global channel leading to the most disgusting salty language i had seen in a while. You can always /ignore them but still, preaching and religion IMO is a thing that that you should keep outside the game regardless of your religious views. We're all here to have fun and not to convert people to a religious beleif.
And for the closing argument here are a couple of questions to enhance the discussion :
What is your opinion about preaching and religion in relation with WoW ?
Do you think that people who constantly flame the chat by preaching should be muted/banned for a sequence of time ?
Are preachers evolving to a gamer preachers and in that way making the community endangered to uncalled religious fights all the time ?
With due respect to all,
