The RP story was funny until he was told to stop, at that point he basically was griefing/trolling the guild. Especially in raids. That's far beyond just RP, and his excuse is the same crap as someone in D&D playing a Chaotic Neutral character and messing with their own party.
It's totally RP to RP a gnome that doesn't care for etiquette or the like. It's also RP to not invite such a person to a meetup or to not want to raid with them, because I don't think normal people would invite someone like that to things
Why didn't these so called RP'ers ever came to the idea of RP-knocking Freto's lights out and tying him into a large sack for the duration of an instance or event?
They might have.. He only gave us his version of events LOL. I would have murdered him and stood trial for that murder. And now the story of Frato the gnome is no more, his madness is at an end may he rest in pieces; as we have drawn an quartered him sending all the parts of his little body far and wide, so that even necromancy nor the Witch Queen herself could bring back that annoying little shit Frato!
Really glad to see Preach uploading just as frequently. I discovered this channel late, but I look forward to seeing the new direction. =) Frato claims to have respect for the RP rule, but the only one he followed was not breaking character! He knew full well what the outcome of his actions would be, and he leaned into it hard so that he could have his 'fun.' Like Preach said, "Selfish."
I feel like the descent into madness would have worked very well with the lead into the eventual nzoth arc that bfa had. Like going through there and maybe killing nzoth would bring about clarity and redemption.
What did Freto expect? I mean, even in RP who would want to be close to a crazy lunatic actively endangering himself and the public every 10 minute? If anything, the others reacted in character actually by removing him from the society :D
That's kinda what irked me though, they didn't even remove him from society :/ The GM could've been like "yo, your character's super disruptive and it's pissing everyone off, i appreciate your dedication but we gotta kill him off or exile him or something. he's just gotta go, man." but nah, he just unceremoniously gkicked him after everyone got pissed that they couldn't just ignore the rabid lunatic running around blowing everything up. Hella lame and uncreative.
@@jimbology7617 As someone who plays on an RP server, the GM made the right call. It's easy to make this judgment from someone who doesn't really have to put up with people like this, but if someone is being disruptive and shitty and ruining other people's experience, they're *lucky* to get a warning to stop before just being kicked. At the end of the day this is a game and we're all just trying to enjoy ourselves. People like this just mess with that-- he even stated that he just liked pissing people off. Even if Frato was killed off, the player was the problem, not the character.
this may be 6 months ago, but that donald duck voice guy reminded me of a friend from high school, he was freaking tall and skinny, had a voice just like the guy from the story but was one of the few people in school that actually talked to me
Why didn't the guild get an Alchemist to work with Frato to cure him? Could have moments of clarity during raids/events and be batguano the rest of the time.
To be honest, they should have just kicked him a lot sooner. As someone who RP's and raids, I 100% think he was just a troll. Keep in mind, the story is told from Frato's point of view and he still looks like the asshole in the situation. So to answer your question, because he probably would have just found some new way to disrupt everyone else's RP.
I like the old stories because I quit playing (but not sub. due to great memories playing WoW with my Son) after WoD. I relate to the older XP’s better. Thanks for the great drama time. Please don’t stop these, especially the older fun stuff. God Bless.
Preach my long time brother. What is the world going to be like with out WOW in it? I feel like I have moved through the game with you over all of the years. From the legacy videos and the years of story times. When You started raiding more hard core I had as well. Thank you so much for the years of amazing videos and fun. I had laughed and related to so many videos over the years. I am still a fan of your work and I hope you continue on
This is why we need Mike as part of the WoW community. Sorry to see you stop playing and or hyping the game but Story time is still my favorite hour on youtube ever.
The channel is kind of weird now since they dropped WoW. I see a variety of games but none of them appeal to me, so far. That being said I still enjoy Preach and its way of doing videos and entertaining us.
you can break everything down to Care, and from every/any angle once you do, you found the root/reason of everyone. LOVE is..CARING DEEPLY, YOU DONT GIVE A FUCK /as in YOU DONT CARE /as in YOU NOTHING thus What is Your EVERYTHING?
Okay, I get not wanting to take him to semi-competitive content like M+ and progression raids and whatnot if he's gonna mess up the run and hinder the guild's progress, but how tf are you going to take an erratic crazy scientist character into an RP setting with the rest of your crew and NOT be able to account for his doing crazy erratic mad-scientist things? Honestly, maybe he was bad at RP, but there's like a million different creative ways you could deal with him, even just to get RID of him if he's too disruptive. That story kinda made it sound like his RP group were the boring type that create mary sue characters and can't handle anything that deviates from their shit writing. Frato did nothing wrong!
If the people around Frato wouldn't be selfish RPers, they would help him with his condition in a RP-friendly way. I mean they knew what the problem was and just let his mind to degrade. Excluding and ignoring someone is not a RP way how to deal with someones problem.
Mike! Give Vermintide 2 a chance, its a Left 4 Dead type game on the Warhammer Fantasy universe and its amazing with coop! And it has twitci integration :D
Reminds me of a guild I joined in legion that tried to do a fun run but wiped to lei shen. Repeatedly. I was new to wow & only level 90 myself, so I'm guilty of repeated deaths. But by the time I hit legion content & was farming mop mogs... I realised it wasn't hard, they were just really shit at it lmao.
But also, the crazy RP'er, coulda/shoulda made himself a novelty. Like, hung out around raid entrances, doing his crazy RP. Then, if invited, at least sometimes killed it in the raid and other times just caused havoc.
@@sterlingwynn3190 I agree that it would be for most, if it's with a set of individuals who were comfortable with it then sure. Plus the DM would step in if it goes too far.
@@sterlingwynn3190 "uh no", you could be creative and RP with him and try cure him. You could RP tying him down or even going as far as trying to kill him to end "his misery". You people aint roleplayers - you are "Reading a story uninterrupted"-players.

@@Catjamfan I don't think you get to decide who is and isn't a roleplayer. That being said, I will agree that the other players should have at least tried to hash it out with Frato in or out of character before slowly icing him from guild activities and then kicking him. I also think that Frato knew exactly what he was doing and should have stopped or at least toned it down when other people became visibly bothered by his antics. I suppose neither Frato or the guild really handled the situation well.
Frato's RP was very on point with his character. Most RP players don't seem very creative in how to distract peoples characters who are being disruptive. Could have a hunter with a bird pet get a message about something for Frato telling them to meet them some place sending him away for a while like someone in the guild acting as a distraction every now an then. or knocking him out for a set amount of time an telling him that a bird drop something on his head an making a someone to say he is going to be out for a good 30mins or something. RPing doesn't seem like RPing tbh now a days oh well good story tho.
The problem with Frato's character is that it constantly forced everyone to notice him. It required their attention. He didn't care about building stories with people; he wanted other people to have to deal with his story. It's selfish, even if it is authentic to the character. Expect people to shun that character if you make one like that.
I've seen this discussed in D&D forums before - RPing a jerk just gets your Player a choice - RP as someone who isn't a problem, or have that character die/leave and roll a new character who is prepared to not be a problem. That's it. Using, "But that's what my character would do!" is not an excuse, ever.
Thats why wow RPers suck at roleplaying, they just want to play GoT-housing story telling without the dragons and without being interrupted as they read their goodnight-story book... They dont try RP back with Freto - they could try cure him, they could try tie him up and disarm him, they could even try "put him out of his misery". Perhaps he goes to jail? Or a mental hospital? There is SO MUCH response and actual RP that could happen here.... But nah. They just want to read their book aloud about soldier nr 288729915, and not have anything deviate from their railroaded narrow boring bubble of "Attempts to sneeze"-bs.
It’s was during tbc when they did Hakkar and I believe they change it so auto shot does start when you right click in tbc so wasn’t a lie bc it wasn’t in vanilla
Frato was so fucking based. Imagine being angry at someone doing RP, on an RP server, whilst being told, he needs to participate in RP which as important as raiding. xD
They weren't mad at him for doing rp on a rp server. They were mad at him for being disruptive and sucking the fun out of rp and raiding for everyone else.
@@sterlingwynn3190 But it's his RP, that they told him should be his main focus. Sounds like RPers don't like it when someone's RP isn't vanilla and the same shit that 100,000 others have already done and continue doing.
@@painmail Not at all. It's just that there's a time and place for that sort of thing, and raid nights and big moments in other people's stories are neither. The problem isn't his rp, it's that his fun came at the expense of everyone else's.

That rp story is the definition of “It’s what my character would do”
People like that are a plague on RP in general. They mean no harm but the lack of self awareness is sickening.
To me they are fuckin trolls
No-one likes an asshole, doubly so for RP.
@@Ys-hu8od He did admit at the end of the story he did it to piss people off. So yeah, he meant harm.
It's weird because assholes done right make the world more realistic but I obviously understand that it's annoying for people
Frato is a dungeon boss. "Frato reaches into his bag" is a boss mechanic if I have ever seen one.
My god that first screaming "what the fuck" by the donald rl broke me, i cried a little from laughter
Guy RP’s as a glue sniffing JarJar Binks and is shocked that the guild doesn’t build an entire story franchise around his character 🤦♂️
The RP story was funny until he was told to stop, at that point he basically was griefing/trolling the guild. Especially in raids. That's far beyond just RP, and his excuse is the same crap as someone in D&D playing a Chaotic Neutral character and messing with their own party.
I'd godmode killing him
He just liked being an asshole and excuses it as ''I was RPing %100''. Like those 'method actors' bullshit.
It's totally RP to RP a gnome that doesn't care for etiquette or the like.
It's also RP to not invite such a person to a meetup or to not want to raid with them, because I don't think normal people would invite someone like that to things
Yeah "Its what my character would do"
Yea, but the other people decided to ignore him and be annoyed by his presence instead of trying to help him in a RP way.
Why didn't these so called RP'ers ever came to the idea of RP-knocking Freto's lights out and tying him into a large sack for the duration of an instance or event?
They might have.. He only gave us his version of events LOL. I would have murdered him and stood trial for that murder. And now the story of Frato the gnome is no more, his madness is at an end may he rest in pieces; as we have drawn an quartered him sending all the parts of his little body far and wide, so that even necromancy nor the Witch Queen herself could bring back that annoying little shit Frato!
Been watching for years and saving to jump across the pond for the next Preach Con!!
I saved 10 episodes of drama to watch while drinking over the weekend, Cheers!
Enjoyed the Sidequest , sidequest :) love the idea and very fitting..
Donald Duck raid leader sounds like a dream. Full rage with zero toxicity.
I feel like the rp story will trigger alot of dnd players
Really glad to see Preach uploading just as frequently. I discovered this channel late, but I look forward to seeing the new direction. =)

18:45 for the voice
While his dedication to his RP is somewhat admirable, Freto really needed to learn moderation. No amount of RP is worth frustrating other players.
POG Donald duck accent! Loved it!
"THIS! Is Hakkar!"
Good to see you back preach
Its been way too long since ive watched one of these.
I think Freto was just being imaginative. More power to him.
Wow, two huntard stories in the same day!

OH DEAR GOD PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE
you sounded like Az from heelz vs Baby face in that Donald duck story
I was waiting for donald duck voice :(
This rp could have been fun if he just cleared it with everyone and got everyone onboard/participating but he just wanted to grief lol
Yeah! Wow content is the best content!
bUt ItS wHaT mY cHaRaCtEr WoUlD dO¡!
Was the raid leader comics explained?😂
No matter anything else, WoW still makes the best stories in gaming. Period.
What happent with the gnome licking almost loosing a lot of money? Did that story ever come forward?
As a hunter main i feel for the old men i too hate other hunters i dont invite other hunters to my m plus or torghast idk why
New preach :D
Mop Keystone master? huuuuuuuuuuuuuum
This guy is a God Tier RP Player this was literally the best Drama time RP story I've heard
That's not really an RPer, that's someone that's a troll and hiding behind Kayfabe to be a dick and lowkey pokefun at RP by doing so. :/
GUUUILTYYYYY
What happened? The PG page says no video or playlists but this is still on. Anyone else getting that message?
Why not roleplay taking away the bag? I mean...I'm sure he'd come up with other ways to combat it but it could be fun to get into that.
If the people around Frato wouldn't be selfish RPers, they would help him with his condition in a RP-friendly way. I mean they knew what the problem was and just let his mind to degrade. Excluding and ignoring someone is not a RP way how to deal with someones problem.

The RP is too "main character" RP
That raid lead sounds like tips out first month of classic
