They don't win the most casual award but they're a serious contender for "most hardcore at doing nothing".
one must imagine sisyphus happy
Casual doesn't mean "accomplishes nothing"; he's hardcore as fuck, just pacing a gutter into the ground
That 'casual player' isn't a casual. That's just.... not casual in any measure, holy hell.
I have to say I’m a bit confused, and not about the tale or Becks (hope I didn’t misspell her name), but by the fact that you think that the content you produce is your biggest asset. At least in my view that is false, while I do enjoy your tales, even as a sweaty raider (retired), what I surely love the most about drama time is you, your way of telling any tale, your charisma and passion. Hell, you could be talking about pavement for an hour and I’d still listen. For me, you are the Top Gear of gaming and seeing your content is undoubtedly one of the highlights of any day. A bro fist to you Preach, may you never retire!
Aye! Preach is the biggest draw for me. I love Drama Time, don't get me wrong. But as corny as it sounds. A bit part of that is that its because its an hour straight of Preach talking about something he's passionate about.
No casual rules forever my son
Thousands of hours played, thousands of dollars spent...there's nothing casual about this.
I submit that no one can be the King of the Casuals because anyone who cares enough to go for the title cared to much to be called casual!
I always say one of the greatest things about WoW is how there's so many different ways to enjoy the game, whether it be raiding, questing, PvP, collecting pets/mounts, just running around and picking flowers, etc. This guy definitely pushed the boundaries of that, lmao.
"There is no wrong way to play Wow" Is a saying that was proven very wrong today
We delete characters that we arnt going to play....ever...again.
Already I can say about 1/3 of the way through...Author, you are not a king of casuals. You are king of taking the precious little time you have on this planet and *setting it on fire* for no other reason than you can't handle a character list beyond one single character.
That isn't casual. That is a hyper focused, hardcore sort of insanity; an exercise in futility and stupidity, that I am worse off for having heard of.
This is one of the funniest drama time episodes in a while
The beginning of this guy's story was kind of similar to mine in my early days of WoW because I was indecisive and wanted to use the same names for a character on other characters when I rerolled. But then he just took the craziness to a whole new level.
Ah, i dont know why i thought you stopped drama time. This is great!
I loved that story. One of the few recent tales that reminds me of the older ones in Drama Time, the properly unhinged kind 😅 And the contrast with Mike's more pragmatic and performance-oriented mindset about the game was hilarious! I also kind of identify with the author, I got into World of WarCraft for its setting, the characters, places and stories in it. I created characters, played for a bit then deleted them, just to experience that part of the game with better understanding and get the chance to see things I didn't notice before. I only ever got into raiding in Wrath because a guild was looking desperately for a shadow priest for Naxxramas, and never cared for it unless I was playing with friends - which I was lucky to have or make along. Going into any form of group content with strangers, still to this day, makes me anxious, even if it is a random Battleground. But there are so many ways to play the game that I could be playing it forever. Thankfully I have never bought a boost or anything of the sort. I haven't even used the free ones; if I haven't played a character from the start to the cap it just doesn't feel right to me. I am glad to see that there are more people that play the game in their own way 😄
I mean, technically I feel like I could be the most casual WoW player.... I leveled a Night Elf Mage to 120 in BFA and just stopped (this was also my first and only time to play WoW). I found Preach as I was always curious about WoW (and his content appealed to me the most). Stuck around and followed his content through FFXIV and his Final Fantasy journey. Occasionally been able to catch the streams live as of late. Plus Drama time is a fun time to listen to while doing other things.
Love drama time, been a KZhead/podcast lurker for years. Since I been listening to the podcast versions mostly lately I have to remind the PG team that the rss feed need to upload earlier. KZhead gets the new drama time several says before us podcasters. As always love the content, keep it coming ❤
I'll be honest, way back in my teenage years during wotlk, I too deleted a few characters. And I do mean only a few, because I didn't enjoy the thought of capping them as that felt like the end of the game and also suddenly got the urge to try new classes. I stopped deleting them and just moved on to creating new ones whenever I got too close to level cap. This mindset lasted maybe two or three months, whilst I continued leveling new characters. I then understood endgame still had a lot to offer and somethings I wanted to do only became available when capped, so I got over it. This guy though...had issues.
God damn I love drama time.
Bex: I have a need to pick every single herb I find. Bex confirmed a mint picker.
enjoying leveling that much isnt all that strange to me, I'm the same way. except I have about 17 capped characters. working on every class for both factions, over time. Not playing currently but when I go back, the journey continues!
I ... just ... wow ...
Yeah deleting characters is such an adhd thing. I struggle with that as well 😅
Yeah I started to feel bad about all the money I've wasted. I've been playing on and off (mostly off, thank fuck) since Wrath and have accomplished even less than the author has. And I saw a lot of myself in him. If I knew I could write up how fucking little I've done and submit it as a story, I'd have done so.
How did she find your channel? You used to do bomb class and spec guides.
Ironicly noone there is casual. They are in fact very sweaty and stubborn in their own way and niche play! ^^
my man spent thousands of dollars and 10 years of playtime to realize he is a roleplayer 😂 it was a tale of self-discovery
I've played wow for over 15 years on and off with long breaks between, and I do the creating and deleting characters without capping them, too. For me the reason I delete them is because it's been so long I don't know how to play them anymore (not that I knew to begin with). I hate clutter on my character selection screen also. Never paid for a boost, though, can't imagine the pain of doing that and then typing 'delete'.
sounds like he was addicted to exp number going up
That King of Casuals story is so fucking triggering. There's no way I believe that's real, it has to be one of the fake stories made up just to trigger anyone with brain cells.
what a story haha
This is not the king of the casuals, this is an absolute fool.
I laughed. Mulgore is my favorite. I HAVE GOOD REASONS. ...but i'm guilty too...
This guy has a very bright future in government
I never deleted characters. I have probably 50 total and about half are 70s
bless bex lmao
I swear the story got worse and worse and i loved every second of it. has to be one of the best lately
Me: think I'll go bed soon. Mike: 21:05 Me: Nevermind, I better buckle in.
33:48 i haven't played wow in so long that i legitimately forgot that it's the full 50... i seriously kept thinking it was 15. this was not a fun memory to have revived...
Mike, these stories lately happen to be killing me internally.I don't even know how to process half of these stories you've been sharing lately.I'm so very concerned😂😂😂
please contact someone at blizzard to look in to this guys account. i would love to see the list of deleted characters in their database - if something like that exists (which it should, since you can restore characters at least up from a certain point)
Today on this episode of Drama Time Z : The King of the Casuals breaks Preach
Listening to you list out all of your individual payments to blizzard... Content
I live in a third world country. Things haven't been easy. 1780 E$U could LITERALLY change my life, maybe forever. Yet this guy did... this... with that money. Truely there's nothing in the universe but chaos...
this guy just needs to play 14 so he can just fantasia
Dude puts more time in WoW in a week than I do in a year lmao. I have been playing since Wrath and have put on average 50 hours a year in the game. I have joined a "hardcore raiding guild" one time, found out what I have to do to actually be ready for normal raids, and didn't log in for the rest of the expansion because it was too much grinding. The only important stat about gear is what it looks like. Fashion over stats is always my motto and I RPGs, I will struggle fighting strong enemies because the strong gear looks like ass and my starter weapon looks so much cooler. Bex is closer to my play style than this sweaty OP non casual
Not sure how to submit my story but would love to share
Farming a mount fpr ages just to never use it. Not once. Because 3 second mounting is to long. #JustDruidThings
We should start a gofundme for this poor fool lmao
Nah, they deserve to be poor if they play this shit
....definitely NOT a cult though.... ;)
God! Mulgore... I leveled my very first character (tauren paladin) in Mulgore during BFA 8.2 (Aszharra). I will NEVER level in Mulgore EVER again it is so boring!
King of Casuals should play Classic
Haven't finished the story yet and I'm already having difficulty breathing :|
Bex taking the time to flex her casual cred over the author is unexpected, but legendary
Not even a casual but I’m asking for bex’s hand in marriage after that.
Dwarf fan here Mike, wtf dude
Ok, m not the greatest player ever BUT holy shit! i don't think I've face palmed this much ever!
I'm more casual and less crazy than this dude. I didn't raid until Classic, and while I was quite the altaholic, I was not in the habit of deleting a character I wanted to take a break from leveling.
1.7k euroes for character boosters.....oh my god. Blizzard's ideal player.
In my eyes, the moment you take a step beyond what the game provides you innately, you are stepping off the path of what a "casual" gamer is. Just by engaging with Drama Time means you aren't a casual. A real casual would be someone like my friend who plays FFXIV just for the story and never does any other side content. It'll also take him months to get through an entire expansion cause he can only play for a few hours a week. He has maybe 6 mounts and barely has any content outside of MSQ unlocked. His only alliance raid is the ARR ones because he needed those for obvious reasons. That is a casual.
I think the author doesn't know what casual means. Casual is those stories about players literally never capping because they play 2 or 3 hours a week tops and mostly farm herbs. Casual is seeing raid bosses via lfr one time maybe. I agree with other commenters. The author is the most hardcore noob I've ever heard of.
That's not casual, That's just stupid.
I think casual either has far too broad a meaning or has lost it entirely. To me “casual” means you don’t play often and likely don’t attempt the more “difficult” content. This isn’t to say you lack skill but that you just don’t care to put the time in. You can completely ignore half the game and hardcore grind all the minions or plants and that removes any “casual” claim. Unless I’m out of the loop I feel this interpretation of casual is the “correct” one.
My dude... You clearly want a solo experience. Just make a private server. You can level up all alone as many times as you want, for free!
I've never been this annoyed at the mindset of a WoW player ever. Just play something else.
Either this guy is trolling or he must have some mental issue...Because, that is simply not normal.
I feel much better about the number of race changes ive night lol
Anyone who watches Preach, or Asmon, or Bellular etc... By default could never be king of the casuals. A true casual has no idea about any out of game content.
Why the hell does he need 400 race changes?
there it is bois, the reason gaming got worse.
Why all the race changes Preach?
Mulgore is great, you are wrong. Hellfire is the worst zone in the game.
Please, Author, if you are reading this: Play any game that has come out in the last 10 years for a better and more meaningful experience. For example, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is often marked down to 15-25$ on Steam often enough and you can role play as a badass space commander with their own space ship flying around and saving the galaxy. All you have to do is turn the difficulty to 'story mode' and you'll have a blast. I promise you this will be a better experience than this miserable existence. Mass Effect is only the beginning. You can play Baldur's Gate 3, Legend of Zelda, Dragon Age, Uncharted, The Last of Us and many many many more... please stop please......
This is the result of playing while being socially awkward or without friends or just being ignorant
Ive played since vanilla and ive never killed a current raid boss...not ONE. But I've gotten keystone hero several times. Raiding feels like a waste of time for me
Not king of casuals....just dumb.
And lazy
im sorry, i had to leave preach....the casual story just.....started making me tilt. next one eh?
yeah author isnt a casual they're just lazy and probably a noob
With that much money spent remaking characters, they've gone past noob and entered nub
Hate to burst bubbles but of course that person is causal. Casual means non committal and indifferent/relaxed. It doesnt mean infrequent. He can play every single hour of every single day and perfectly fit the definition of casual
outlands sucks...
Kinda weird of Bex to hijack the story like that, ngl
King of the Casuals? 👎 Least intelligent person to have use of both a PC and a credit card? 🫡
