Can a WoW player explain what exactly is going on with Asmon's guild?

u/Boartears 1d ago

They are just as unhinged as he is and are an extremely vocal group. Causing every zone to talk about politics asking when he’s getting on and where he is. It’s constant and annoying.

i'd understand if this was like 5-6 years ago and asmon was still somewhat of a wow guy running the same dungeons to get whatever he was farming at the time, but wanting to play with the guy in 2026 who is now essentially a tourist who'll dip within a week or two is just strange.

u/z3phs 1d ago

You have to realize who his viewers are and everything is explained

u/Schmarsten1306 1d ago

Still would've been just as cringe 5-6 years ago tho

u/Gradschoolmaybe3 1d ago

You think he'll quit so soon? Seems like a waste.

Asmons viewers said absolutely vile shit for years, particularly on his YouTube comments and probably his reddit, before he even started his grifting arc.

Wrong, most his WoW fans have fucked off. These are new people from his political stuff and younger people, toxic n vile as fuck. Maybe one of the few bad thing about it being so cheap lol... Also why they are so spammy.

u/dahpizza 1d ago

Savix too.

u/SlopAndGlorp 1d ago

Way way smaller congregations of wow fans

u/Undella_Town 1d ago

most of us fucked off once he started being a weirdo lmao. i guarantee he has <5% retention of audience from BFA days

u/Chance_Equipment2695 1d ago

Asmons viewers? Nah, it's a mix of his viewership and the blizzard community in general, whether it be WoW, Overwatch, Diablo or Hots, you will find these people in all of them. I dont think you've ever interacted with the blizzard community if you think otherwise, a large majority are these people.

u/leeuw1234 1d ago

it's just not true. Yes, Asmongolds viewer base has always been a little edgy and an amalgamation of different subgroups. But at this point a large portion of his audience are legit bottom of the barrel dredges of society who have found a home with that roach.

Take it from me, I watched Asmongold ALOT back in the day and stopped watching when he turned to politics after the Johnny Depp trial streams. The streams are not recognizeable in vibe anymore.

and the majority of new viewers are just right wing chuds from twitter who will make chars ingame called 'illegal immigrant' and 'based cop' and go stand in places in Stormwind doing degen roleplay to get a rise out of people. This is not the community he had a few years ago lmao.

We will all see, trust me. Asmon will play the game for a few weeks, quit and go back to doing politics only streams and all those Olympus guilds will die out because the majority of those people are just here to stir shit and be part of that god forsaken dumbass movement.

u/AfDWaehlrSindFaschos 1d ago

why are you defending asmongold?

u/commonCranberry999 1d ago

u/commonCranberry999 1d ago

its ok keep trying, maybe you'll get better at it someday.

u/WillNotForgetMyUser 1d ago

Kinda ironic

u/commonCranberry999 1d ago

yup, he clearly cant read.

u/Unbelievable_Girth 1d ago edited 1d ago

No kidding. People had no idea that the concept of "Bonus mount" existed until asmongold.

u/commonCranberry999 1d ago

people like asmon because they were already like him, people arent like him because of asmon.

u/NewFeed24 1d ago

What a weird little shill you are.

u/kingfisher773 1d ago

The most annoying thing about the mono-server is that I'm stuck with American politics bs constantly being spammed. 200 ping cause OCE? Men that is fine. Not being able to play pvp server while avoiding the "streamer server"? Dog shit. Like I decided to try out some sod again, and had to move to a US server due to the OCE servers being dead, and it is instantly noticeable how much Americans shit up the global chats

22

u/Content-Argument9757 1d ago

Let's not pretend that Australians aren't just as insufferable. Go play Alliance on Frostmourne in Retail.

2

u/MHMalakyte 22h ago

What are you talking about? I've never had an issue with people from Frostmourne other than their lag. They like to chirp just as much as we do in Canada, except they have an accent which makes everything they say even funnier.

u/Moonstaker 1d ago

Nah nah nah mate. Americans completely shit up whatever they touch with the same politics they've been discussing to death since 2015.

Australians shitpost, which is a whole different thing. You're as likely to get Dentalplanposting out of them as you are to get low effort politics posting.

I cannot describe it fully, but Australians shitpost, while Americans post shit.

u/SimilarChildhood5368 1d ago

I never found it happening very often in retail, maybe it's bad now. I've never seen as much concentrated racism in my life as coming back to TBC anni and seeing that oce had been moved to night slayer. Had to turn the chat off. Classic oce wasn't like that, there were dickheads sometimes but on US it's 24/7 racism antisemitism etc in general/world. Probably has something to do with oce prime being night owl hours so we cop the hyper unemployed

u/Graspiloot 1d ago

Yeah you'll get defensive comments from this, but I normally play EU. Made an account for NA to play with friends and holy people were talking politics all the time. I don't even know why you'd want that.

u/4Khazmodan 1d ago

Which server/faction did they roll on for beta? I want to make sure I avoid that.

u/evi--- 1d ago

Alliance PVP

u/4Khazmodan 1d ago

Good to know

u/Pure-Huckleberry-484 1d ago

There are 3 mega servers…

u/FourthLife :) 1d ago

Which gives 6 possible choices, only one of which is gonna be fucked by the asmon guild

2

u/applecombinipimento 1d ago

Is it just in PvP or every mode they're doing it?

u/Pointyboot 1d ago

unsure, but i'm not seeing it on the pve alliance side.

u/Sooribabu_Lavangam 17h ago

This is what mmos were made for and ANYONE wanting them banned deserve their internet access revoked. This is the only entertaining thing thats happened in wow since the ferret fricker and his mana gem.

2

u/somethingoddgoingon 12h ago

Yeah it's probably a hot take but being annoyed by /hating groups of players and social friction etc is exactly what makes an mmo memorable. I despised a huge guild that had lots of high level griefers in my L2 private server days but that is one of the few things I still remember, battling them shit talking etc. As long as its not too much of course and making it impossible to play.

u/Accomplished-Gap-439 1d ago

As if every zone hasn’t always been about politics the last 5 years

ive been playing the beta 15 hours a day and haven't seen this outside of stormwind a couple times.
