Froteus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It is indicative of our culture that this professional would be crapped on by so many players for his field of expertise being gaming. 100 years ago the common perspective was the exact same for team sports and the people that played them. They were something for kids, fans and hobby enthusiasts. The sports players were laughed at by the "real professional" for their "Job" being a game. Now look at those sports players getting paid millions of dollars per year.That's probably coming for video gamers sooner than you might think.

Fretbolt Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 WoW's community has always been about rushing content and the like, what they wanted has pretty much killed the game from what it used to be. So no, I don't think there's any positive to having them come here. This game is based on story, and a "Pro" won't like that. This. Many people came here to escape this stuff.

Now look at those sports players getting paid millions of dollars per year. That's probably coming for video gamers sooner than you might think. I still think it is rediculous that atheletes are paid millions to play a game for a living. Someone being a professional video game player is just a new low for modern society. Oh and no thanks, I really don't care about his streaming video feed of his professional gaming experience or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumahKavula Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Replying just bumps this guys thread up guys. Close it, report it if you feel strongly enough. we don't all get butthurt so easily. some people actually enjoy streams like these. watching you guys argue over this childish conversation is the real entertainment though. why close something that is entertaining?

RamathRS Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's bad enough that we have to sift through all of the brainless self-important WoW lingoists. I refuse to give support to anyone who claims the dubious title of Professional WoW player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyonme Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 What i find funny is when "pro" gamers don't want to sound like they sit and play games all day so they call themselves "Professional Programmer" as if they know anything about programming.

StarRooster Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you read Mark Twain's "Two Ways of Seeing a River," then it will give you a lot of insight as to the dislike for so called pro gamers that you see, I think. More power to him if he makes money playing a game, but I'd avoid it because it's a good way to ruin such a fun hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongfort Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Did it hurt? Not really. Luckily it was a naive part of me that still believed the majority of internet users were not total flipping idiots. I had a short funeral, I've moved on.
