| 3s | intelligence based on the following |
| 5s | prompt |
| 7s | Welcome to our video on the current |
| 9s | state of toxicity and group content in |
| 12s | World of Warcraft we'll be discussing |
| 14s | how often players encounter toxicity in |
| 17s | the game the challenges players face |
| 19s | when trying to do great content pros and |
| 21s | cons of limiting yourself to solo play |
| 24s | and the possible solutions to these |
| 26s | issues |
| 31s | it's no secret that toxicity can be a |
| 34s | major issue in online games and World of |
| 36s | Warcraft is no exception while the |
| 39s | frequency of toxicity can vary depending |
| 41s | on the server and player base it's not |
| 43s | uncommon for players to encounter toxic |
| 45s | behavior in the game this can range from |
| 48s | verbal abuse to harassment to cheating |
| 51s | and exploiting |
| 53s | while some players May brush off |
| 55s | toxicity as just part of the game it can |
| 59s | have a serious impact on players |
| 60s | enjoyment and even mental health but |
| 63s | it's important to note that toxicity is |
| 66s | not unique to wow but is an issue in |
| 69s | many online games and indeed in life |
| 77s | group content in World of Warcraft can |
| 79s | be a lot of fun but it can also present |
| 82s | a number of challenges for players one |
| 85s | of the biggest challenges is finding a |
| 87s | group of players who are skilled |
| 89s | reliable and easy to work with this can |
| 92s | be especially difficult for players who |
| 94s | are new to the game or who are not part |
| 96s | of a large Guild |
| 98s | another challenge is dealing with |
| 100s | players who are not willing to listen to |
| 103s | feedback or who refuse to play their |
| 105s | role properly this can lead to wipes |
| 108s | delays and frustration for the entire |
| 111s | group |
| 115s | [Music] |
| 117s | while grip content can be a lot of fun |
| 119s | there are also benefits to playing World |
| 122s | of Warcraft solo one of the biggest Pros |
| 124s | is that you can have complete control |
| 126s | over your own pace and play style you |
| 130s | don't have to worry about coordinating |
| 131s | with other players or dealing with toxic |
| 134s | Behavior |
| 135s | another Pro is that you can play at your |
| 138s | own schedule you don't have to rely on |
| 140s | other players availability |
| 143s | on the other hand the cons of solo play |
| 145s | include the fact that you miss out on |
| 148s | the social aspect of the game and the |
| 150s | sense of accomplishment that comes from |
| 152s | working with a group to complete |
| 154s | difficult content additionally some |
| 157s | content can be harder or impossible to |
| 160s | complete solo |
| 162s | foreign |
| 165s | toxicity in World of Warcraft players |
| 168s | can report toxic Behavior to Blizzard |
| 170s | the game's developer they also have a |
| 173s | strict policy against toxicity and will |
| 175s | take action against players who violate |
| 177s | the terms of service |
| 179s | players can also form groups with |
| 182s | like-minded individuals either through |
| 184s | the game's built-in group finder or |
| 187s | through Community groups such as Discord |
| 189s | servers |
| 190s | additionally players can also limit |
| 193s | their exposure to toxicity by staying |
| 196s | away from certain areas of the game or |
| 198s | avoiding certain types of content |
| 203s | in terms of group content players can |
| 205s | take the time to learn their class and |
| 207s | role properly and communicate |
| 210s | effectively with their group members |
| 211s | they can also seek out groups that have |
| 214s | a positive and friendly attitude and |
| 216s | avoid groups that are prone to toxicity |
| 219s | or drama |
| 222s | toxicity and group content can be major |
| 226s | issues in World of Warcraft but there |
| 228s | are ways to mitigate these problems and |
| 230s | still enjoy the game by reporting toxic |
| 233s | Behavior forming groups with like-minded |
| 235s | players and limiting your exposure to |
| 238s | toxicity you can have a more positive |
| 241s | and enjoyable experience in World of |
| 243s | Warcraft thanks for watching |
| 247s | so that is chat GPT which is open ai's |
| 252s | publicly accessible artificial |
| 255s | intelligence where you write a question |
| 257s | sort text base write a question and it |
| 260s | will generate a unique |
| 263s | hopefully relevant response what |
| 266s | surprised me about this actually was |
| 268s | that it's picked up a lot of terminology |
| 272s | that's not just from what you would |
| 274s | expect like technical documentation for |
| 276s | World of Warcraft it's also picking up |
| 278s | sort of you know slang terms you know |
| 281s | like talking about spec and wipes |
| 286s | um so stuff that you know is from |
| 289s | General communication by the users of |
| 293s | the the game and not just the you know |
| 296s | official documentation like I said so I |
| 298s | found that really interesting it kind of |
| 300s | makes you wonder where it's getting this |
| 302s | information from like is it getting from |
| 304s | in-game chat or is it getting from |
| 306s | YouTube videos you know where people are |
| 308s | talking about all of these frustrations |
| 310s | I've also asked at some other specific |
| 312s | questions I asked it about |
| 315s | um what a common complaints people have |
| 317s | about pugging in World of Warcraft and I |
| 319s | was expecting it initially to say I |
| 322s | don't understand what pugging means but |
| 324s | it immediately went into defining |
| 327s | plugging as pickup group where players |
| 330s | group with random individuals in you |
| 334s | know for Dungeons and Reigns and it was |
| 336s | like what it's just it it knew exactly |
| 340s | what to say the only limitation of of |
| 344s | the topic is that it uh the knowledge |
| 347s | base finishes in 2021 so you can't ask |
| 350s | it any questions about dragonfly |
| 352s | um but it you know it understands the |
| 354s | idea of of expansions and it talked |
| 358s | about uh announcements for upcoming |
| 361s | expansions and it said there hasn't been |
| 363s | an announcement for an upcoming |
| 366s | dragonflight expansion this was in like |
| 368s | I said in September 2021 |
| 370s | um so technically it didn't know |
| 372s | anything about it but the fact that it |
| 374s | even just immediately recognized from |
| 375s | the question the general topic that I |
| 378s | was talking about was able to say I |
| 379s | don't have that information |
| 380s | and where it would go to to find that |
| 383s | information you know official |
| 385s | announcements and stuff it's just it's |
| 387s | it's Skynet it really is Skynet |
| 391s | I am so ready for Skynet after |
| 394s | interacting with this this uh chat GPT |
| 397s | but yeah I just thought it was a little |
| 398s | bit of fun |
| 399s | um my initial |
| 402s | um motivation shall we say for creating |
| 404s | this video was I was actually going to |
| 405s | do like a proper uh uniquely handcrafted |
| 409s | video about my experiences with Wow but |
| 412s | it really it boils down to this question |
| 414s | that I've asked which is I'm having a |
| 417s | great time playing dragonflight solo |
| 420s | um as soon as I have to group with other |
| 422s | people I'm finding it really unpleasant |
| 424s | I'm just not having a lot of positive |
| 426s | interactions I do have some absolutely |
| 429s | across leveling content as well as like |
| 431s | Mythic plus and raid type stuff but |
| 434s | I yeah I'm encountering a lot of |
| 437s | unfortunate uh people and just a general |
| 442s | shift in the attitude that players have |
| 445s | about it being its group content but |
| 449s | it's more about the individual than it |
| 451s | is about helping other people |
| 453s | um you know if I'm leveling |
| 455s | I noticed that uh you get the level 10 |
| 459s | scaling if you've done any leveling in |
| 461s | dragonflight there's an issue with level |
| 463s | 10 scaling basically the mob Health |
| 466s | doesn't reflect what it is for the |
| 468s | higher level players so when you've got |
| 470s | this mixture of say level 50s and a |
| 472s | level 10 the level 10 is going to be |
| 474s | doing you know like a million times the |
| 477s | DPS of everybody else no matter what |
| 479s | their spec is so you're finding that |
| 481s | level 10 so you have a like a mistweaver |
| 483s | monk level 10 just runs the entire |
| 486s | dungeon uh spinning crane kick and just |
| 490s | spamming spinning crane kick killing all |
| 492s | the bosses and everybody else is just |
| 494s | sort of running behind them slowly |
| 496s | picking up loot not even hitting |
| 497s | anything literally that person can solo |
| 500s | so you know people who are trying to |
| 502s | learn how to tank |
| 503s | they're finding it really difficult to |
| 505s | actually tank in the content because all |
| 508s | it takes is is one level 10 and that |
| 510s | person will just solo everything because |
| 513s | they literally cannot die and they will |
| 516s | do way more way more DPS I had it's a |
| 521s | bit weird you can't really tell exactly |
| 523s | the numbers but when I was at one point |
| 526s | I had there was an Arcane mage |
| 528s | they were doing all my details damage |
| 531s | meter it came up as them doing 45k DPS |
| 535s | on a single Target and everybody else in |
| 538s | the group who are around the same level |
| 540s | were doing 200 DPS so it's that kind of |
| 544s | um difference obviously there's numbers |
| 545s | aren't specific but it kind of at least |
| 547s | tells you what the gaping Chasm is it's |
| 550s | it's not a it's not a small difference |
| 553s | in DPS so you really I'm really noticing |
| 556s | that a lot of people are just you know |
| 559s | blast through the content forget the |
| 562s | fact that I'm grouped with other people |
| 563s | it's not about letting new tanks learn |
| 566s | how to tank it's not about letting new |
| 568s | healers learn how to heal if they can't |
| 571s | they can't keep up they actually get |
| 573s | kicked and I'm just you know that |
| 576s | coupled within if you're doing Mythic |
| 579s | plus content there's |
| 582s | basically whenever an item drops the |
| 584s | first question is do you need instead of |
| 586s | giving the person an opportunity to |
| 588s | offer an item up it's just immediately |
| 591s | do you need do you need and you get |
| 592s | multiple Whispers from stuff which can |
| 595s | be a little bit uh confronting I guess |
| 598s | if you're of a certain |
| 601s | wanting to give things to other people |
| 603s | kind of personality you probably aren't |
| 606s | going to have a good time well at the |
| 609s | moment because it's yeah it's very much |
| 612s | this sort of the individual Uber Alice |
| 615s | you know |
| 616s | um |
| 617s | individual above everybody else kind of |
| 619s | attitudes so yeah I don't know it's |
| 622s | maybe I'm getting older and less |
| 624s | tolerant of that kind of behavior maybe |
| 626s | that behavior has always been in the |
| 627s | game and I just haven't experienced it |
| 629s | to this extent but ah yeah love |
| 633s | dragonflight as an expansion not |
| 635s | enjoying the player base at the moment |
| 637s | so I'm kind of a bit torn because the |
| 639s | content that I want to do is actually |
| 642s | ah in-game content but yeah so |
| 646s | on that note we've had half an AI |
| 650s | written by AI video and Harvard this |
| 653s | just randomly rambling about stuff uh |
| 656s | apologies if there were any noises to |
| 658s | the microphone I've got like |
| 660s | construction happening outside my window |
| 662s | right now so I've got trucks and |
| 665s | tractors and cranes and forklifts and |
| 669s | all manner of noises going on so |
| 671s | hopefully my good old Nvidia noise |
| 674s | suppression software kicked in a few |
| 676s | times and got rid of most of that |
| 678s | um I'll put some video some music in as |
| 680s | well kind of hide as much as I can but I |
| 682s | did feel inclined to put a video out |
| 684s | because I felt motivated to do so but |
| 687s | most importantly welcome to the end of |
| 689s | the video you've lasted 12 minutes |
| 690s | before it was initially meant to be a |
| 692s | five minute video |
| 694s | but I'm I'm Keen to hear what your |
| 697s | thoughts are whether you've been playing |
| 699s | the expansion or not |
| 701s | um have you sort of experienced |
| 705s | positive |
| 707s | majority |
| 709s | majority majorly positive mostly |
| 712s | positive I should say probably is a |
| 713s | better word mostly positive experience |
| 716s | and experiences in my art or have they |
| 718s | been mostly negative |
| 721s | um is it a some sort of other split |
| 723s | between the two what's your experience |
| 725s | if you are playing dragonflight now |
| 728s | how's that going |
| 729s | are you doing sort of pug content or are |
| 732s | you doing you know stuff with guilds |
| 734s | like what's the context of your |
| 735s | experiences basically what I'm asking |
| 738s | um mainly just so I can have reasons to |
| 740s | check the YouTube comments and reply to |
| 742s | people and say hello |
| 743s | because I enjoy doing that it's one |
| 745s | thing doing a video but I don't feel |
| 747s | comfortable sitting here in just |
| 749s | dispensing my opinion onto the internet |
| 751s | I I do a video like this in hopes that |
| 753s | people are then going to share their |
| 754s | opinions with me and I can actually have |
| 756s | a bit of a to and fro as as much of a |
| 759s | tour and fro you can have on YouTube |
| 761s | comments because they're not great at |
| 763s | notifying when people have replied to a |
| 765s | comment that I've written |
| 768s | um but yeah anyway so let me know if you |
| 771s | feel so inclined otherwise whatever it |
| 773s | is that you're doing I hope it goes well |
| 775s | and that you are taking care of yourself |
| 777s | and those around you |
| 780s | I will see you when I see you goodbye |
