It's about time I speak on the latest tragicomic development in our beloved game, the migration of World of Warcraft streamers and their slack-jawed audiences to OSRS.
Let me be clear, OSRS is not a daycare center for washed-up MMO influencers desperately clawing at relevance. It is a sacred arena where true gamers, intellectual titans, and economic warlords battle for glory.
This is not a game for tourists. Neither is it a game for streamers who think “tick manipulation” is some form of insect warfare. This is a game for people who understand that every XP drop is a declaration of dominance, every GP earned a flex of cerebral superiority. This is a game of suffering. Of grind. Of absolute, unrelenting discipline.
Every time I see a clip of some wide-eyed WoW streamer "trying out OSRS," it's the same pathetic cycle. They spawn on Tutorial Island, gawk at the UI like they’ve never interacted with a computer before, and then proceed to spend the next 2 hours completing a tutorial that should take 10 minutes for the mentally challenged. Their chat, filled with equally clueless sycophants, screams “THIS GAME IS SO HARD LOL” as they fail to kill a giant rat.
These WoW players are used to being spoon-fed dopamine via flashy particle effects and scarcely dressed female characters played by males. Here in OSRS, we earn our dopamine through sheer masochism, 200 hour grinds, and the emotional high of performing the games most noble and glorious feats like obliterating ironmen doing clue scrolls, showing dominance by crashing the poor and under geared, or luring gullible noobs.
To top it all of, they're all Ironmen. Of course they are. Because nothing screams “I don’t know what I’m doing” louder than a brand new player diving headfirst into the most restrictive game mode just so they can pretend being bad is actually a feature.
So, fellow elitists, sharpen your claws. Camp their livestreams, crash them at every opportunity, stream snipe them when they enter the wilderness, mine their rocks, whatever is necessary. Do your civic duty. The gates may be rattling, but they’ll never breach the throne room as long as I'm here.
