Demographics of Warmane

There are times you know..when you really wanna see if the demographic is aligned to your trail of thought. I mean the spastic spammers and the autistic scammers, along with the bungling backpaddlers or the cocky keyboard turners, you get to a point where you question "I want to know whether the precise demographics of your community but I'm I wrong to thing the way I am to think" ( dat grandma doe )

I plead to warmane staff or anyone that can do so, to reveal the demographics of our community in order for those within the community to have a good understanding as to why things occur the way they do. I just want to know why Frostwolf global chat is the way it is and why the word ****** is still used or even more questionably why do many people play female.

So basically with this system you wanna say that X country has bad people and marganlize them? That's a really stupid idea! I doubt that they would ever have a system like that :P

I guess he wants to know in which of those "autistics" groups he belongs.

I know I can be negative... but damn there is always a boss above the boss :)

Anyway, warmane does not have this demographic information. (not accurate atleast)

nah nah I'm just curious why people still use racial slurs and homophobic terms, in addition to causing global chat to become a useless means of communication within the Frostwolf community. Perhaps knowing the demographic can enable me to discipline some people with my wise choice of words

Since certain behaviors are exhibited by multiple demographies .... How do you plan to differentiate?

Prolly with a touch of bigotry and a slight hint of chauvinism.

Here is some info on WoW demographics. It's not particular to Warmane, but I imagine we follow retail demographics fairly close.

What you intend to do with this sort of information is beyond me though.

To be fair, this has been bothering and bewildering me ever since I started in 2011. You get people who have been playing the game day in and day out for years, yet they still suck in-game-wise and personality-wise. It's like immaturity is the backbone of gamers, for better or for worse.

On-topic, I have some generalizations after years of playing in the Molten/Warmane community:

- UTILITARIANISM: This is the most polarizing element setting Warmane and private servers apart from retail. In Warmane, pretty much everybody wants to be the best, whether by having a wipe-free ICC raid and having the highest dmg done in BGs. We usually don't make time for forum chit-chat or roleplaying; when in game, we're always after the prize. I haven't played retail but, just by looking at the forums, you can tell players there care for the lore and the community, which you won't see in Warmane.

- PROFESSIONAL STAFF: C'mon, you will rarely meet private server admins who will take the time to write essays as feedback and treat players like actual clients, despite the occasional lack of transparency in the past. You guys deserve some lovin'!

- HIGH TURNOVER RATE: This is very true, especially back during Molten's height in 2011-12. While other private servers usually have a loyal following, people come and go in Warmane so fast you won't even remember your in-game friends and enemies. It's like a huge flee market: people will always flock into the coolest thing; if that thing diminishes or ****s up, people will quickly move on.

- BALKANS: No elaboration needed here.

- KIDDIES: A free server will definitely attract kids and teens who are stuck with their allowance money.

- LEAVERS: Now this is the one thing that sets Warmane apart from other private servers. This doesn't happen only in pugs; there's also a lack of commitment in g-runs. Like just after one wipe, you're bound to have at least one leaver. Second wipe? RO. I didn't have this problem in other servers; people there can tolerate 3-5 wipes at most. In most cases, leaving a group is a personal choice because I can't really judge what you're going through in real life. I'm just saying you NEED to be ready if you're gonna play this game, instead of playing while playing football in your favela.

- WE'RE STILL HERE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. So let's be thankful for having a wonderful free-to-play game.

What's funny is that I'm a frequent browser of /r/justneckbeardthings and I just made a rather euphoric post above xD

Kick the leavers or find a new guild it's that easy.

Nah, it's not a direct solution. Even in elite guilds I've joined are tough to deal with if you know what I mean. A lot of people need to pug in some way when their guildies are not available. In fact, the game's PvE is originally built upon pugs to begin with. Pug or guild, it's always a challenge dealing with people who you know little about.

For now, I'm ignoring the leavers, especially those who leave after just 1 wipe or in the middle of the ****ing fight.

By the way, I didn't say this is my problem in the first place; I actually enjoy the pug culture in a strange way. It's up to us on how we're gonna deal with it.

I'm used to mexicans, but they are far less numerous than the balkan population on this server.
