I would suggest my own type. Altruistic naive unbearably positive. Doing it for the team/guild, friend. Always buffing people, helping, letting them mine nodes in classic. Hoping deep dive that it helped the community. One of the last to leave Gravediggers with tears in their eyes... Unable to wpvp because you cant kill the disadvantaged player (the only situation anyone engages in wpvp). (He also plays AH to insane extents, pretty much manipulating everyone off of their gold)
You forgot the ONLY ARENA player its not a pvper he want only play arena dont know lore dont know dungeon for him a wow expansion its just new pvp balance etc , dont know and dont care about horde or alliance he just play the most op racial(orc) etc etc....
I think you described the altaholic the best I've ever seen. You even got the low amount of buttons thing right, since my hand joints are trash. I don't want to talk, I don't want to raid, I don't want to pvp. I just want to quest. So I make a character that sounds cool, play them, run out of stuff, and make a new one. Maybe this time I'll level in outlands, or do all the mop zones, who knows? But real talk yeah I genuinely love wow's world but hate all the endgame content so I just level until I run out of juice and burn out, then come back 6 months later.
@@JohnB-mo4kq Running old content is one of my favorite parts. My personal motto for years has been ''WoW's never boring when you're achievement whoring''
Yep. I almost convinced myself the horse doesn't exist after 8 months of farming every week on 5 alts. But when I got it I was confused what do I do now? Maybe it's for the better that people still don't have a mount they want...
WoW is the drug that keeps pulling me back in, even when I thought I've fully gotten over it. I think I like the idea of WoW more than the game itself. Leave it too long and that rose tint of nostalgia starts creeping back in.
Yea, I never seen so many gamer addicts then in WoW..... Out of 12 months, I've been subbed 8-9 moths, and I played less then 2 months, just because I always come back after few weeks, I can't go longer then 20 days, it's too damn hard..
Laughed along until I got to altoholic… listening to this as I’m leveling my 5th shaman because the name Zapntap was available on illidan… and I took that personally.
I get it man I'm not even playing WoW i'm playing eso and i'm an altoholic on too many games where it's an option... don't get me started on the years I used to play Champions Online I had like 26 different characters and hadn't even maxed a single one! but I persisted because I had to get my superhero fix despite it being a 10 year old crappy game with no major reworks or improvements! and so In the end I had to go cold turkey! I've manage to limit myself to 4 chars and I am glad to say i'm finally making progress in ESO as a high elf assassin/ranger who does craft writs on the side! I don't knock WoW if i'd of had the money as a kid i'd of probably got into it and maybe liked it... but with the lack of nostalgia and the state of the game these days it's gonna make major changes to the game and the seemingly crooked way the devs treat wow players to change for me to try it again! (They never got their hooks in me the 20 level trial wasn't enough sadly I tried joining when MoP began had I joined before then maybe i'd of liked it) I regretted not getting ESO sooner tbh (I waited till it was on sale cause i'm a cheapskate then Ironically got hooked buyed crowns and ESO+ and just recently bought another 3 months after enjoying like 3 days of my first month of ESO+ cause I went to exercise for the summer) so I am currently playing the story of that! that being said I will say one thing about WoW in full positivity... i've always admired it's long lasting community and i've been jealous cause every time I see a video like this I feel like I am watching from outside a window and inside the house is the home of the WoW community which shows how special the community is!
Altaholic described me pretty well, even down to the Paladin as fav class. I even have multiple max-level palies, but the goal is always to get every class to max, which I do for every single expansion.
I have at least two max in every class because I like to play different races with different backgrounds and I come up with ideas that can be used only with a new character because my already-made characters have their own back stories. 😃 And yes, I would think of a name (usually something comical) and the strong urge comes over me to create a new character with that name.
I love exploring in wow, listening to music and enjoying the ambience of locations, no quests, just vibes, I do it once-twice a year, this game is just so pretty. It correlates with my love of exploring outdoors a lot and a lot of walking, even if there are no roads, and hiking.
I grew up in the country with traditional parents. I wasnt even allowed on the computer but id sneak on F2P Rune Scape when I could. Playing WOW for the first time in 2024 is like making up for missed childhood time. I actually do feel some happiness from thia game. I mean, WOW is THE GAME. Its like, if youre leveling up or getting unlocks in any other games, youre just wasting your time, becauae youre not doing it on THE game.
There wasn’t my kind of a player - “the casual enjoyer”. He does everything in the game just to enjoy it. It includes PvP, PvE, levelling or simply walking around Azeroth just to enjoy the views in his favourite zones. That’s the best kind of player! 😎
Heck yes....thats what I am. I get AOTC, KSM, enough pvp to get the armor set, and have alts to mount and gear farm. All this and am a single parent with a 50+ hour a week job. WoW is a great game. By far the best MMO I have played!
Yes this was my thoughts as well! Plus a little bit of RP thrown in, when I feel like it, even for like five minutes during a quest sequence etc. :) ❤️
I just started plating wow this year .I don’t like pvp but I do all the related quests. I enjoy doing some of all the content. I think your video is very amusing. I must say that most everyone has been very nice.
I am afraid I must admit that at this point in my life I am the raider type (well, mostly m+ guy tbh cuz no guild atm, my last one went to horde...), and also, a panda :D. Great video man! Glad to see you're back to doing these kinds of videos. They are my favourite :D
I feel called out on at least four of these. (RPer, Raider, the ahem... Mutant. The Altaholic, and the one where you fight for faction, though I do stuff on both factions.) As a roleplayer, I got into RP because leveling up (then classic/TBC) was fricken hard, and we didn't have WoWhead or the quest guides on the map, having to rely on the quest texts to tell us where to go and figure things out. ADHD brain got impatient, so decided to just started to play pretend. Doing stuff with friends was what brought me back into the game, and I had forged a friendship in a game about war far faster than any other game, and so it's hard to let go of something like this. Additionally I only got into PvP because leveling was hard. Was stuck at level 36 for the longest time cuz I never did anything else lol 😂
Yea, I'm one of those who never does PVP. I'm great at playing PVE, but can't manage to step a toe outside the graveyard when trying PVP, so I just don't try anymore. Camping the graveyard seems to be the way they played, so there was no point in playing for me. lol I enjoy the game and am glad that I don't have to do much PVP as part of any questlines. My son is great at it, but I never quite got the knack for it.
You forgot the Soloist - introverts/loners/shut-ins whether inside or outside the game... they avoid guilds, if in a guild they rarely speak or participate in anything, avoiding people. They can be polite, even helpful to others, almost randomly, but then flee any entanglement that might turn permanent. They learn to solo dungeons and elites, and only very-very reluctantly ever join a pug... The philosophy is simple - succeed or fail, they answer only to themselves, no responsibility other than to themselves. Free, but painfully lonely, shy/social-phobics, they want to find acceptance and belonging, but flee (even change names and realms) when they start to find it - knowing that to be known, is to be rejected or fail to meet expectations (again, rejected).
This video inspired me. Definitely making my Pandaren Monk my dedicated Trade Troll Alt. He was my "helpful vet for new players alt", but the new players needing help are few and far between these days.
@@semiramisubw4864 It should be beyond embarrassing, but people just don't seem to care. Take GW2 as an example, you see half a zone bend over backwards to help out a new player that asks a question in map chat. Hell, a veteran might even group up and guide them if they're lucky. If they're unlucky, "type /wiki [subject]", but the fact there's a way to go to the wiki from in-game is amazing for new players. You ask a question in WoW? All you'll get is "Google it" "check wowhead lol".
You forgot “the collector.” The one that will spend endless hours on Falcosaur quests to boost their mount collection and running the same raids over and over again for “appearance” sets…. 🍺
I do love to quest, it's my favorite time of this game. I love the adventure side of a new area and spending hours and days discovering. But that's just me haha. I'm definitely an altaholic. I have 15 warriors, 7 paladins, list goes on and on. I've deleted so many toons in the past expansions.
Hey Nixxiom, after countless days, I finally watched one of your videos with full joy. I was tired of hearing negative comments that you repeat in every single video. This type of fresh,positive and fun content is what I would like to see from you and I think you're the best at doing tier lists/machinimas about wow. I am really really happy that you finally decided to do what you do best again!
8:58 *[raises hand]* Yep. It's the gear grind, btw, for me at least. Back in lich king I raid geared 8 toons, and every one them got their _starter set_ via farming random heroics for emblems and rep grinding welfare epics.... including my defense capping blood dk tank before all tanks had their own version of survival of the fittest. I have *done* - all the gear grinding - I ever intend to *do.* In any any MMO, ever again. All there is, at level cap, is gear grinding for pvp or raids... I'm good. People like me are *why* the various "challenges" came into being. They started as ways to play the game, and challenge ourselves, *rather than* gear grinding at level cap. Pre-shadowlands level squish I once made a completely free-to-play account just so I could test whether or not it was possible to twink a level 19 character in spite of all the restrictions, spoiler, it was. No mailbox, no auction house, no trading, gold capped at 10g, can only use what items drop from mobs or what I can manufacture. I had to figure out how to earn 10g, without hitting lvl 20: in order to xp cap at 19. I figured out I could lvl skinning and leatherworking, and sell just to vendor - and be able to hit the 10g I needed purely by vendoring, without going over lvl 19. Then proceed to do dungeons until I had all the best pieces of gear available at 19. It was hell to complete full 5 piece sets of leather or mail "Fang" armor, btw. On my Drood and Shammy both I had to solo wailing caverns for days on end for the gloves to drop, since they're a random drop. Then, since that wasn't hard enough, I then did it again using just skinning, tailoring and cooking. Which was really hard since only humanoid mobs drop cloth, and with the zone scaling there was a very narrow margin of error to manufacture and vendor enough items to earn 10g before lvling past 19. After that - since, again, that wasn't hard enough: I decided to do all the quests in all the zones I had access to at lvl 20, for all the different reps of that faction, and then pick up tabards to earn rep in endless dungeons: and I earned the title Ambassador - on a completely f2p account. The imgur location is a slash geHUeoA. You can see my ambassador title, my reputation section of character sheet and I have my mailbox open to prove it's a f2p account. Altoholics and challenge mode players like me really love the game: we just find the nonstop gear grind at lvl cap to be really - *boring.* Or tedious, annoying and boring in my case. I'm perfectly content to just jog on and find my own way to have fun in the game, rather than gear grinding at lvl cap. Well, was anyway, I went back to playing wow during bfa and into shadowlands: and.... I no longer play wow, at all. I just don't like it anymore, I've been playing swtor. [shrug]
So...considering you "what does your class says about you" and "what your race says about you" combined with this. I'm a Alt-oholic RPer Worgen Feral Druid, not the guild master, but "hand of the king" basically. and one of my alts is the "Guild Banker" basicaly the guy who cleans all the trash people drops on the dump-chest that is the Vault XD In respect to my "joy" of alts. I like to have at least one character of each race and each class. I have a few repeat races ofcourse, but those are because I like to give them custom RP backstories. But I also love to join any Raid or dungeon runs, or help new players with what ever they might need. (I main tauren on Horde. So according to your race video, it shows why I like helping newcomers) I also am a "transmog collector" (you missed this one), similar to the RolPlayer, but I just LOVE to have a "trophy" collection of characters, high Lv mainly becaise I need the Lv for the custom transmog. I don't want a OP look, many of them are story transmogs. I also like it that each of my 50 alts use their own Mount. But my biggest Sin, is that I support a TH-camr/streamer on his Patreon, in the hopes I could be part of one of his machinema videos. but never got the chance to be part of one -and yet, I still support this "filthy casual" occasionally when ever I can or have the spare money ;)
I only had 2 of the same class typically because I had Alliance and Horde characters. I did have a couple of same class due to not wanting to change gear or specs though.
Im kind of a cyto-amalgamation of most of these. Sometimes more of one than the rest. But if i had to pick one dominant personality it would have to be the Altaholic. Only, i enjoy group play, i enjoy pvp when not going against a competitive premade group and Pallys arent my favorite class. Its uncanny how spot on these assessments are. Peculiar.
My main realm is Sisters of Elune, I am so damn glad that blizzard fixed the goldshire situation. I can't tell you how many times I'm running through goldshire just trying to pass through on my worgen when somebody started trying to pet me! I started in late mop and for a year or more I decided to just start skipping goldshire entirely on my alliance characters and missing out on the ton of experience
the part about the guildmaster inv'ing some girl in to the guild and hooking up with her is so fucking true i've seen it so many times over the years its not even funny anymore xD
I resemble altoholic, (as I’m looking at my login screen and see two lvl 70s, 3 lvl 60s, 4 lvl 50s, and 3 sub lvl 30s, with more to scroll down too, and other realms with more toons), but I identify more as one who was not mentioned: the collector. The reason I have multiple alts. To run old raids solo multiple times a week in an attempt to collect the pets, mounts, and mogs. In order to collect the mogs, the collector must have at least four different classes to have access to all Armour types. I do, however, strongly favour Deathknight Druid, and Evoker. I will say I do enjoy leveling, though. And although I don’t pvp, I do occasionally stream on twitch to 0-3 viewers (usually 0), although I rarely ever advertise it, and never in trade chat (which I actually ignore). And I fully admit my content isn’t really good.
You forgot the most important one, The good old sigma player: He dominates Epic BG's he can carry in LFR, guilds are whispering him to join their guild, he ignores it and queues up for another BG and occasionally clears a raid in HC or first 3 bosses in Mythic.
Oddly, I feel like a bit of most of these types of players. I'm an altaholic(but actually do endgame content on my chars and don't mind alot of action keys/abillities), I am not a role player per say(but I do self insert a lil/ enjoy a bit of RP/lore), I do endgame pvp and endgame pve(depends on the character/class), I love transmogs, I like questing, doing dungeons, battlegrounds, rare/treasure hunting, collecting stuff, just exploring, sometimes chatting, sometimes enjoy just being solo, and so on, the list of mixed bits and pieces from the different types of players would go, so I'll stop there. Id describe me as the type of player who likes to just enjoy all/every aspect of WoW. Funny vid tho lol.😂
Altaholic that's me , wow addiction never truly leaves it calls back to you. Always... I'm also a pve player but I did get invincible after 8 months of farming on 5 alts every week :)
I made a Tauren Druid called Mudds. He has the shaggy hair over eyes face with a little flower and has Guardian spec. Roleplaying him as a gentle giant bro!
I was the Altaholic and then discovered Ascension. Now I got a Main that I can level again and again and I dont have to worry that i get bored with the Class 😁
You forgot capt. Nostalgia! You know those guys that no matter what you're doing it goes back to some story that always begins with "back in vanilla (or w/e is his expac of the day is that day)"....
I don't think I have been so offended in a while. It's great, and I love it! :D I am a reformed altholic, and I used to be very sick, but now I do raids, occasional PvP and I hate pandas too, like a normal WoW player.
Altoholic is the one thing I enjoy most about FFXIV: In every other RPG you have to physically make a new character from scratch if you don't like your current class. In FFXIV, I swap my weapon and now I'm a Tank, now I'm a melee DPS that jumps around, now I'm the guy that stands in fire to finish his spellcast, and now I'm the healer screaming at the guy standing in fire. It's actually that easy to swap, and now I can play the entire game on one character. No need to make and level 5 alts because everything is on that one character. It has ruined other MMOs for me.
I've been playing wow for 16 years and for some reason I still celebrate when my toon gets his first pair of shoulders. Only on classic /tbc/lk tho, since in the following exp you replace the gear so quickly idm anymore. Just numbers on the screen..
I do not have 5 max level paladins, I have 4 thank you very much. Now if you had said 5 max level mages, then you'd be correct. Otherwise pretty damn spot on for us altoholics. Loved it!
I've been a professional ganker for the last four expansion cycles. I'm a mix of some of these types. The short version is that I'm a filthy casual with a world-first(based on a true story) hardcore edge. • Plays Pretend, because I do like the Lite or XLite RP experience without actually optimizing my character for the endgame. M+ and BGs are chores to me and are done in the bare minimum fashion to be able to compete for WPvP. Why are some popular games modded by fans? It's more or less the same psychology: WoW should be whatever you want it to be with encouraging devs. • Ban this Player, because my WPvP gig has gotten me reported(even though the GMs haven't banned me yet because there's not one bannable thing I have done). I'm not saying I'm the best at PvP, but when people find it sus enough to submit tickets that's quite telling. • Sucks at PvP(formerly), because I have carebear roots and migrated to PvP because I got tired of the raiding scene. I may not easily compare to a R14 type. • Is a G.I.R.L., because I was accused of being a female(my seasonal vulpera toon was female) for my WPvP gig(due to the basis of being afraid to tackle on difficult content, and this is a true story). For some odd reason, anyone who is perceived to avoid endgame content because it's difficult and unable to deal with social pressure is likely assumed to be a F.I.R.L.(firl, female in real life). So I would be a g.i.r.l. instead. • Commitment issues(both PvE and PvP), because WoW got more solo-friendly over time(which is a GOOD THING) and that gives each player more liberty to go their own way. A lot of times in the past, there were times I knew I had to commit to a guild and hating the game enough to QQ out and do something else. To this day my commitment is typically tenuous and not tied to other people, especially for guildies. • The Monster(vulpera), I have a discontinued panda alt, though Goblin became my primary race after Human. But I had a "seasonal" vulpera toon that disgusted more than one person because furry. I actually found the PM drama rather spicy vs. furry(so put me down as one who loves anti-furry drama).
so the commitment issues guy is deff me but with a twist? i actually do like the end game and havent really tried the pvp. ive got 3 maxed characters and 4 more characters that are within 10 lvls of max. my reasoning is well professions. i wanna be the do it all guy that can adapt to any situation. ofc i know a few years down the line and all these characters are gonna be lvl 30 again but still i find it fun. not to mention im becoming very well informed on other classes in the process.
Commitment issues is me in any game with character creation tbh 😅 its more of an addiction to creating more and more unique characters with their own themes
Sooo... I PvE... and play without any "extra's" IE: No addons, no macros, no keybindings (still point/click) and recently HC while drinking/drunk. Ive PvP'd, and was on top 3 dps in Wrath when I raided on my DK. Ive also alted all class mounts, and eRPd from Vanilla through Draenor. Whats that make me?
I definitely fall into the altaholic category. Haven't done any endgame content in Shadowlands, instead using that time to get every class to max level. Even having some duplicate classes at max level. My total number of max level toons is 16. Save me.
I definitely have an alt problem. I have around 80 toons, and a bunch of them are priests. I NEED to have each combination of race/priest and now with the new xpac, literally every race can have a priest. Oh god...
I have a new one "Casual Otome Fan" WoW Player. I play mostly as handsome, sexy Male elf characters. Has created WoW toons based on male characters from their favorite Otome game and/or anime. I even renamed my Elf DK main to my favorite character Camus. Plays Otome games like Uta no Prince-sama ShiningLive and Code:Realize, and plays other games Genshin Impact and/or Animal Crossing New Horizons (I would love WoW version of it). I have quite a few characters leveled...but a lot I am working on. I have the basic understanding of how to play WOW.....I tried PVP and was no good at it. So I stick to PVE. Doesn't mind grouping with people to play, but barely plays because of Work and Life events.... But still enjoys play when she does. Looking forward to play with DKs in Wrath Classic. Enjoys watching TH-cam videos from her favorite WOWtubers.
I love to annoy. My gnome takes his Noodle cart (from the Tillers in Pandaria) to the top of Orgrimmar. I make noodles and dance around. It takes about 5 minutes to die .
Allow me to add the Collectionator: he's set out to collect every mount, pet, transmog, toy and rep you can collect in game (but hardly ever uses any of these). He mostly plays alone with the only exception if some collectible requires a group. The constant fomo and addition of new content he has to farm drives him insane as he has to run old raids and dungeons on 10 alts, do old dailys for some old rep faction and log into 20 different servers to finally get voidtalon. What a sad player
So, how accurate was I with describing you as a player?

I'm now a classic player :P. I have seen those types of players though.
I would suggest my own type. Altruistic naive unbearably positive. Doing it for the team/guild, friend. Always buffing people, helping, letting them mine nodes in classic. Hoping deep dive that it helped the community. One of the last to leave Gravediggers with tears in their eyes... Unable to wpvp because you cant kill the disadvantaged player (the only situation anyone engages in wpvp). (He also plays AH to insane extents, pretty much manipulating everyone off of their gold)
You forgot the ONLY ARENA player its not a pvper he want only play arena dont know lore dont know dungeon for him a wow expansion its just new pvp balance etc , dont know and dont care about horde or alliance he just play the most op racial(orc) etc etc....
You basically described Asmongold in all of this. Especially the guild Master person.
only 5 max level paladins? n00bz!
I think you described the altaholic the best I've ever seen. You even got the low amount of buttons thing right, since my hand joints are trash.
I don't want to talk, I don't want to raid, I don't want to pvp. I just want to quest. So I make a character that sounds cool, play them, run out of stuff, and make a new one. Maybe this time I'll level in outlands, or do all the mop zones, who knows?
But real talk yeah I genuinely love wow's world but hate all the endgame content so I just level until I run out of juice and burn out, then come back 6 months later.
Exactly the same.
Try hitting max level, then steamrolling old content for transmogs. That kept me occupied for a few weeks a couple years ago.
@@JohnB-mo4kq Running old content is one of my favorite parts. My personal motto for years has been ''WoW's never boring when you're achievement whoring''
Try Ascension if you enjoy private servers
I feel this on a spiritual level.
As a raider, the Invincible bit hurt me
The Postmaster quest where you deliver the reins to Johnny Awesome was almost physically painful
Yep. I almost convinced myself the horse doesn't exist after 8 months of farming every week on 5 alts. But when I got it I was confused what do I do now?
Maybe it's for the better that people still don't have a mount they want...
WoW is the drug that keeps pulling me back in, even when I thought I've fully gotten over it. I think I like the idea of WoW more than the game itself. Leave it too long and that rose tint of nostalgia starts creeping back in.
I’ve always went back for the new expansions, just to realize it’s still a time vampire that Ill get tired of the grind in a few months again
Yea, I never seen so many gamer addicts then in WoW..... Out of 12 months, I've been subbed 8-9 moths, and I played less then 2 months, just because I always come back after few weeks, I can't go longer then 20 days, it's too damn hard..
Exactly. Wow's so bad and I know it, but at the same time I love it. The addition never truly left
Is fun
Laughed along until I got to altoholic… listening to this as I’m leveling my 5th shaman because the name Zapntap was available on illidan… and I took that personally.
I get it man I'm not even playing WoW i'm playing eso and i'm an altoholic on too many games where it's an option... don't get me started on the years I used to play Champions Online I had like 26 different characters and hadn't even maxed a single one! but I persisted because I had to get my superhero fix despite it being a 10 year old crappy game with no major reworks or improvements! and so In the end I had to go cold turkey!
I've manage to limit myself to 4 chars and I am glad to say i'm finally making progress in ESO as a high elf assassin/ranger who does craft writs on the side!
I don't knock WoW if i'd of had the money as a kid i'd of probably got into it and maybe liked it... but with the lack of nostalgia and the state of the game these days it's gonna make major changes to the game and the seemingly crooked way the devs treat wow players to change for me to try it again! (They never got their hooks in me the 20 level trial wasn't enough sadly I tried joining when MoP began had I joined before then maybe i'd of liked it)
I regretted not getting ESO sooner tbh (I waited till it was on sale cause i'm a cheapskate then Ironically got hooked buyed crowns and ESO+ and just recently bought another 3 months after enjoying like 3 days of my first month of ESO+ cause I went to exercise for the summer)
so I am currently playing the story of that!
that being said I will say one thing about WoW in full positivity... i've always admired it's long lasting community and i've been jealous cause every time I see a video like this I feel like I am watching from outside a window and inside the house is the home of the WoW community which shows how special the community is!
Same
I have literally Started/ converted every alt I have to include "shadow" in the name over the last fifteen plus years.
Altaholic described me pretty well, even down to the Paladin as fav class. I even have multiple max-level palies, but the goal is always to get every class to max, which I do for every single expansion.

Well serving my faction does feel much better than serving my country...
So true
Most bugman shit i heard in a long time
>_>
American?
Fuck yeah man fuck America imperialist fucks fight the power ✊🏿☠️🩸💉🧨🔪
I love exploring in wow, listening to music and enjoying the ambience of locations, no quests, just vibes, I do it once-twice a year, this game is just so pretty. It correlates with my love of exploring outdoors a lot and a lot of walking, even if there are no roads, and hiking.
You exposed our deepest secret. You can not hide. Our wrath is inescapable.
- The Pandas
i have some wrid sympathy for pandas, vulperas are the ultimate evil anyway :P
Well I guess you can define me as an Altacholic Roleplayer. I love making new characters level them and creating a story at the same time
This was so funny and spot on, brother! 🍻
I’m definitely the altaholic, only with hunters and druids rather than paladins.
I'm an altoholic, but one of the main reasons is that I want to experience every class & every race at least once
I love how the Machinima characters interacting compliments each point so well.
I feel called out right off the bat
10/10 video
I keep watching you while leveling my void elf. Its always the highlight of my day ^^
I grew up in the country with traditional parents. I wasnt even allowed on the computer but id sneak on F2P Rune Scape when I could.

Heck yes....thats what I am. I get AOTC, KSM, enough pvp to get the armor set, and have alts to mount and gear farm. All this and am a single parent with a 50+ hour a week job. WoW is a great game. By far the best MMO I have played!
That's me
Yes this was my thoughts as well! Plus a little bit of RP thrown in, when I feel like it, even for like five minutes during a quest sequence etc. :) ❤️
Right, that and I just like to wander around to find Easter eggs
Helping others in lfg too
"big shmuck chuckle fuck" got me dyin XD
I just started plating wow this year .I don’t like pvp but I do all the related quests. I enjoy doing some of all the content. I think your video is very amusing. I must say that most everyone has been very nice.
I am afraid I must admit that at this point in my life I am the raider type (well, mostly m+ guy tbh cuz no guild atm, my last one went to horde...), and also, a panda :D. Great video man! Glad to see you're back to doing these kinds of videos. They are my favourite :D
I feel called out on at least four of these. (RPer, Raider, the ahem... Mutant. The Altaholic, and the one where you fight for faction, though I do stuff on both factions.) As a roleplayer, I got into RP because leveling up (then classic/TBC) was fricken hard, and we didn't have WoWhead or the quest guides on the map, having to rely on the quest texts to tell us where to go and figure things out. ADHD brain got impatient, so decided to just started to play pretend. Doing stuff with friends was what brought me back into the game, and I had forged a friendship in a game about war far faster than any other game, and so it's hard to let go of something like this.
Additionally I only got into PvP because leveling was hard. Was stuck at level 36 for the longest time cuz I never did anything else lol 😂
The Level 58 Death Knight returns! And it is glorious! :D
Yea, I'm one of those who never does PVP. I'm great at playing PVE, but can't manage to step a toe outside the graveyard when trying PVP, so I just don't try anymore. Camping the graveyard seems to be the way they played, so there was no point in playing for me. lol I enjoy the game and am glad that I don't have to do much PVP as part of any questlines. My son is great at it, but I never quite got the knack for it.
You forgot the Soloist - introverts/loners/shut-ins whether inside or outside the game... they avoid guilds, if in a guild they rarely speak or participate in anything, avoiding people. They can be polite, even helpful to others, almost randomly, but then flee any entanglement that might turn permanent. They learn to solo dungeons and elites, and only very-very reluctantly ever join a pug... The philosophy is simple - succeed or fail, they answer only to themselves, no responsibility other than to themselves. Free, but painfully lonely, shy/social-phobics, they want to find acceptance and belonging, but flee (even change names and realms) when they start to find it - knowing that to be known, is to be rejected or fail to meet expectations (again, rejected).
This video inspired me. Definitely making my Pandaren Monk my dedicated Trade Troll Alt. He was my "helpful vet for new players alt", but the new players needing help are few and far between these days.
yep. WoW doesnt affect many new players. This game rn is trash for new players and in general the community is also bad for new players mostly.

It should be beyond embarrassing, but people just don't seem to care.
Take GW2 as an example, you see half a zone bend over backwards to help out a new player that asks a question in map chat. Hell, a veteran might even group up and guide them if they're lucky. If they're unlucky, "type /wiki [subject]", but the fact there's a way to go to the wiki from in-game is amazing for new players.
You ask a question in WoW? All you'll get is "Google it" "check wowhead lol".
You forgot “the collector.” The one that will spend endless hours on Falcosaur quests to boost their mount collection and running the same raids over and over again for “appearance” sets…. 🍺
Nixxion my family’s so poor we have to use old toilets as seats. I have several Hemorrhoids that cause massive blood stream to leak down my leg.
Make sure your name your hemorrhoids. Gives them personality.
Your fam has toilets?
I do love to quest, it's my favorite time of this game. I love the adventure side of a new area and spending hours and days discovering. But that's just me haha.
I'm definitely an altaholic. I have 15 warriors, 7 paladins, list goes on and on. I've deleted so many toons in the past expansions.
That axe swing at 1:21 LOL!
Hey Nixxiom, after countless days, I finally watched one of your videos with full joy. I was tired of hearing negative comments that you repeat in every single video. This type of fresh,positive and fun content is what I would like to see from you and I think you're the best at doing tier lists/machinimas about wow. I am really really happy that you finally decided to do what you do best again!
8:58 *[raises hand]* Yep. It's the gear grind, btw, for me at least. Back in lich king I raid geared 8 toons, and every one them got their _starter set_ via farming random heroics for emblems and rep grinding welfare epics.... including my defense capping blood dk tank before all tanks had their own version of survival of the fittest.
I have *done* - all the gear grinding - I ever intend to *do.* In any any MMO, ever again. All there is, at level cap, is gear grinding for pvp or raids... I'm good.
People like me are *why* the various "challenges" came into being. They started as ways to play the game, and challenge ourselves, *rather than* gear grinding at level cap. Pre-shadowlands level squish I once made a completely free-to-play account just so I could test whether or not it was possible to twink a level 19 character in spite of all the restrictions, spoiler, it was. No mailbox, no auction house, no trading, gold capped at 10g, can only use what items drop from mobs or what I can manufacture. I had to figure out how to earn 10g, without hitting lvl 20: in order to xp cap at 19.
I figured out I could lvl skinning and leatherworking, and sell just to vendor - and be able to hit the 10g I needed purely by vendoring, without going over lvl 19. Then proceed to do dungeons until I had all the best pieces of gear available at 19. It was hell to complete full 5 piece sets of leather or mail "Fang" armor, btw. On my Drood and Shammy both I had to solo wailing caverns for days on end for the gloves to drop, since they're a random drop. Then, since that wasn't hard enough, I then did it again using just skinning, tailoring and cooking. Which was really hard since only humanoid mobs drop cloth, and with the zone scaling there was a very narrow margin of error to manufacture and vendor enough items to earn 10g before lvling past 19.
After that - since, again, that wasn't hard enough: I decided to do all the quests in all the zones I had access to at lvl 20, for all the different reps of that faction, and then pick up tabards to earn rep in endless dungeons: and I earned the title Ambassador - on a completely f2p account. The imgur location is a slash geHUeoA. You can see my ambassador title, my reputation section of character sheet and I have my mailbox open to prove it's a f2p account.
Altoholics and challenge mode players like me really love the game: we just find the nonstop gear grind at lvl cap to be really - *boring.* Or tedious, annoying and boring in my case. I'm perfectly content to just jog on and find my own way to have fun in the game, rather than gear grinding at lvl cap. Well, was anyway, I went back to playing wow during bfa and into shadowlands: and.... I no longer play wow, at all. I just don't like it anymore, I've been playing swtor. [shrug]
you forgot THE COLLECTOR:
He doasnt care about the raid team but only the mounts pets and every achivment its avelable in the game...
Absolutely on board with using Pandas as scapegoats.
I felt underrepresented but then the Altaholic came up and now I feel attacked instead, help! 🤣🤣🤣
You got to love the sneaky way of putting Project Ascensions; Character Creation screen in at 00:15
Sneaky Sneaky Nixxiom
So...considering you "what does your class says about you" and "what your race says about you" combined with this.
I'm a Alt-oholic RPer Worgen Feral Druid, not the guild master, but "hand of the king" basically. and one of my alts is the "Guild Banker" basicaly the guy who cleans all the trash people drops on the dump-chest that is the Vault XD
In respect to my "joy" of alts. I like to have at least one character of each race and each class. I have a few repeat races ofcourse, but those are because I like to give them custom RP backstories.
But I also love to join any Raid or dungeon runs, or help new players with what ever they might need. (I main tauren on Horde. So according to your race video, it shows why I like helping newcomers)
I also am a "transmog collector" (you missed this one), similar to the RolPlayer, but I just LOVE to have a "trophy" collection of characters, high Lv mainly becaise I need the Lv for the custom transmog. I don't want a OP look, many of them are story transmogs. I also like it that each of my 50 alts use their own Mount.
But my biggest Sin, is that I support a TH-camr/streamer on his Patreon, in the hopes I could be part of one of his machinema videos. but never got the chance to be part of one
-and yet, I still support this "filthy casual" occasionally when ever I can or have the spare money ;)
I agree with your statement about pandaren but don't forget about the Vulpera. those 2 are the harbinger of evil and destruction!
I only had 2 of the same class typically because I had Alliance and Horde characters. I did have a couple of same class due to not wanting to change gear or specs though.
Im kind of a cyto-amalgamation of most of these. Sometimes more of one than the rest. But if i had to pick one dominant personality it would have to be the Altaholic. Only, i enjoy group play, i enjoy pvp when not going against a competitive premade group and Pallys arent my favorite class. Its uncanny how spot on these assessments are. Peculiar.
Love the split second shot of SWG Mos Eisley cantina
"He hates WoWs endgame, and yet he loves WoW"... "He doesn't do dungeons because he prefers never to speak to anybody"... Too real
I'm three. This was very accurate. While the invincible bit doesn't hit home for me personally the time investment and isolation did.
There are exceptions to some of these :p. Like my guild master who attends every raid and often does keys and PvP to help other players
My main realm is Sisters of Elune, I am so damn glad that blizzard fixed the goldshire situation. I can't tell you how many times I'm running through goldshire just trying to pass through on my worgen when somebody started trying to pet me! I started in late mop and for a year or more I decided to just start skipping goldshire entirely on my alliance characters and missing out on the ton of experience
I was really sceptical about MoP when it was announced, but since it launched I race changed my main and now exclusively play pandaren characters.
You only missed "the ganker"
3:06 wait a minute ... sabaton gaming chair? FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD i need it
6:35 wow wow wow, my boy is spitting fire right there :))
That Extreme Ownership reference for the Guild leader. ROFL
Lol "Random Navy Seal guy no one's heard of." Jocko Willick...you've been called out son!
2:06 got me dying laughing seeing the little angry one jittering with rage XD
reminds me of keemstar back in the day
the part about the guildmaster inv'ing some girl in to the guild and hooking up with her is so fucking true i've seen it so many times over the years its not even funny anymore xD
I miss level 58 death Knight. Such a great character
Its so wholesome to see level 58 DK again
I resemble altoholic, (as I’m looking at my login screen and see two lvl 70s, 3 lvl 60s, 4 lvl 50s, and 3 sub lvl 30s, with more to scroll down too, and other realms with more toons), but I identify more as one who was not mentioned: the collector. The reason I have multiple alts. To run old raids solo multiple times a week in an attempt to collect the pets, mounts, and mogs. In order to collect the mogs, the collector must have at least four different classes to have access to all Armour types. I do, however, strongly favour Deathknight Druid, and Evoker.
I will say I do enjoy leveling, though. And although I don’t pvp, I do occasionally stream on twitch to 0-3 viewers (usually 0), although I rarely ever advertise it, and never in trade chat (which I actually ignore). And I fully admit my content isn’t really good.
You forgot the most important one, The good old sigma player:
He dominates Epic BG's he can carry in LFR, guilds are whispering him to join their guild, he ignores it and queues up for another BG and occasionally clears a raid in HC or first 3 bosses in Mythic.
You are right about us pandaren players. If you ever want to learn more about their masterplan, read a book called "The Elder Protocols of Pandaria"
8:20 "big shmuck chuckle f-" if i came across a wow streamer with that name, i'd definitely subscribe
Damn straight we burned down Teldrassil. I'll see you in the arena!
I really liked the snippets of machinima throughout the vid
Oddly, I feel like a bit of most of these types of players. I'm an altaholic(but actually do endgame content on my chars and don't mind alot of action keys/abillities), I am not a role player per say(but I do self insert a lil/ enjoy a bit of RP/lore), I do endgame pvp and endgame pve(depends on the character/class), I love transmogs, I like questing, doing dungeons, battlegrounds, rare/treasure hunting, collecting stuff, just exploring, sometimes chatting, sometimes enjoy just being solo, and so on, the list of mixed bits and pieces from the different types of players would go, so I'll stop there. Id describe me as the type of player who likes to just enjoy all/every aspect of WoW. Funny vid tho lol.😂
Number 1 and 3 for me )) Mainly play Wow for lore (red all books except last two) and almost exclusively solo
Altaholic that's me , wow addiction never truly leaves it calls back to you. Always...
I'm also a pve player but I did get invincible after 8 months of farming on 5 alts every week :)
I made a Tauren Druid called Mudds. He has the shaggy hair over eyes face with a little flower and has Guardian spec.
Roleplaying him as a gentle giant bro!
As someone with a Pandaren main (and several Panda alts) I can confirm that I did burn Teldrassil (and I got an awesome mount for doing so)!
I used to sometimes skip on a stronger item while leveling because my lower level one looks better lol
I was the Altaholic and then discovered Ascension. Now I got a Main that I can level again and again and I dont have to worry that i get bored with the Class 😁
I did the thing with the PvP rock music when I was younger, but I don't do it anymore. Now I do it with trance music instead.
Can’t wait for BALDY’s reaction to this video
My math teacher was one who played WoW not sure what she did exactly but it was always intriguing
You forgot capt. Nostalgia! You know those guys that no matter what you're doing it goes back to some story that always begins with "back in vanilla (or w/e is his expac of the day is that day)"....
I don't think I have been so offended in a while. It's great, and I love it! :D
I am a reformed altholic, and I used to be very sick, but now I do raids, occasional PvP and I hate pandas too, like a normal WoW player.
0:17 I see u had a look at Ascension's CoA.
Here's hoping to get a video on that.
*Casually dropping in a reference to a much better universe* - - - Emperor is pleased
I MADE IT INTO THE VIDEO WOOO 4:13 LINKIN PARK IS THE BEST BAND TO EVER EXIST NO ONE CAN CHANGE MY MINDDDDDDDDD
Please god what is the name of the sound byte at 8:33, I have no idea what to type to find it
There was some serious 'pandaring' for that last one.
Altoholic is the one thing I enjoy most about FFXIV:
In every other RPG you have to physically make a new character from scratch if you don't like your current class. In FFXIV, I swap my weapon and now I'm a Tank, now I'm a melee DPS that jumps around, now I'm the guy that stands in fire to finish his spellcast, and now I'm the healer screaming at the guy standing in fire.
It's actually that easy to swap, and now I can play the entire game on one character. No need to make and level 5 alts because everything is on that one character.
It has ruined other MMOs for me.
I've been playing wow for 16 years and for some reason I still celebrate when my toon gets his first pair of shoulders. Only on classic /tbc/lk tho, since in the following exp you replace the gear so quickly idm anymore.
Just numbers on the screen..
I do not have 5 max level paladins, I have 4 thank you very much. Now if you had said 5 max level mages, then you'd be correct. Otherwise pretty damn spot on for us altoholics. Loved it!
I've been a professional ganker for the last four expansion cycles. I'm a mix of some of these types. The short version is that I'm a filthy casual with a world-first(based on a true story) hardcore edge.
• Plays Pretend, because I do like the Lite or XLite RP experience without actually optimizing my character for the endgame. M+ and BGs are chores to me and are done in the bare minimum fashion to be able to compete for WPvP. Why are some popular games modded by fans? It's more or less the same psychology: WoW should be whatever you want it to be with encouraging devs.
• Ban this Player, because my WPvP gig has gotten me reported(even though the GMs haven't banned me yet because there's not one bannable thing I have done). I'm not saying I'm the best at PvP, but when people find it sus enough to submit tickets that's quite telling.
• Sucks at PvP(formerly), because I have carebear roots and migrated to PvP because I got tired of the raiding scene. I may not easily compare to a R14 type.
• Is a G.I.R.L., because I was accused of being a female(my seasonal vulpera toon was female) for my WPvP gig(due to the basis of being afraid to tackle on difficult content, and this is a true story). For some odd reason, anyone who is perceived to avoid endgame content because it's difficult and unable to deal with social pressure is likely assumed to be a F.I.R.L.(firl, female in real life). So I would be a g.i.r.l. instead.
• Commitment issues(both PvE and PvP), because WoW got more solo-friendly over time(which is a GOOD THING) and that gives each player more liberty to go their own way. A lot of times in the past, there were times I knew I had to commit to a guild and hating the game enough to QQ out and do something else. To this day my commitment is typically tenuous and not tied to other people, especially for guildies.
• The Monster(vulpera), I have a discontinued panda alt, though Goblin became my primary race after Human. But I had a "seasonal" vulpera toon that disgusted more than one person because furry. I actually found the PM drama rather spicy vs. furry(so put me down as one who loves anti-furry drama).
I got banned 10 days for disruptive gameplay for outplaying people (EU)
@@GnomePower1000 That's dumb if it can't be proven you violated EULA mainly using bots or hacks.
Why is it that Asmongold fits everyone of these scenarios. Especially guild Master.
I saw that Conquest of Azeroth clip in the intro ;)
Damn that raider one def called out myself lol
I was our guilds care bear back in the day. I would run lowbies through instances.
I love seeing this type of content again....🤘🏼
so the commitment issues guy is deff me but with a twist? i actually do like the end game and havent really tried the pvp. ive got 3 maxed characters and 4 more characters that are within 10 lvls of max. my reasoning is well professions. i wanna be the do it all guy that can adapt to any situation. ofc i know a few years down the line and all these characters are gonna be lvl 30 again but still i find it fun. not to mention im becoming very well informed on other classes in the process.
Commitment issues is me in any game with character creation tbh 😅 its more of an addiction to creating more and more unique characters with their own themes
Sooo... I PvE... and play without any "extra's" IE: No addons, no macros, no keybindings (still point/click) and recently HC while drinking/drunk.
Ive PvP'd, and was on top 3 dps in Wrath when I raided on my DK. Ive also alted all class mounts, and eRPd from Vanilla through Draenor.
Whats that make me?
I used to be the Altoholic… oh gosh, that was so addicting! But I’m finally recovered now 😂
1:15 is the most epic thing I've ever seen come out of WoW.
I agree, and I understand the reference
I definitely fall into the altaholic category. Haven't done any endgame content in Shadowlands, instead using that time to get every class to max level. Even having some duplicate classes at max level. My total number of max level toons is 16. Save me.
I definitely have an alt problem. I have around 80 toons, and a bunch of them are priests. I NEED to have each combination of race/priest and now with the new xpac, literally every race can have a priest. Oh god...
I have a new one "Casual Otome Fan" WoW Player. I play mostly as handsome, sexy Male elf characters. Has created WoW toons based on male characters from their favorite Otome game and/or anime. I even renamed my Elf DK main to my favorite character Camus. Plays Otome games like Uta no Prince-sama ShiningLive and Code:Realize, and plays other games Genshin Impact and/or Animal Crossing New Horizons (I would love WoW version of it). I have quite a few characters leveled...but a lot I am working on. I have the basic understanding of how to play WOW.....I tried PVP and was no good at it. So I stick to PVE. Doesn't mind grouping with people to play, but barely plays because of Work and Life events.... But still enjoys play when she does. Looking forward to play with DKs in Wrath Classic. Enjoys watching TH-cam videos from her favorite WOWtubers.
LEVEL 58 DEATH KNIGHT
I laughed a little to hard at “That’s a Warhammer 40k reference”
Videos like this make me belief wow still has a soul.
What about the washed up mount collector who also happens to be balding
I love to annoy. My gnome takes his Noodle cart (from the Tillers in Pandaria) to the top of Orgrimmar. I make noodles and dance around. It takes about 5 minutes to die .
amazing video, one of your best
Allow me to add the Collectionator: he's set out to collect every mount, pet, transmog, toy and rep you can collect in game (but hardly ever uses any of these). He mostly plays alone with the only exception if some collectible requires a group. The constant fomo and addition of new content he has to farm drives him insane as he has to run old raids and dungeons on 10 alts, do old dailys for some old rep faction and log into 20 different servers to finally get voidtalon. What a sad player
