In World of Warcraft there are harmless trolls. And then there is a player who has been scheming for years to destroy a guild. By now, “Tinyviolin” is known as “the man who destroys WoW Hardcore”.
World of Warcraft is more than just a game. Many have found friends here and some even partners for life. But there are also people with decidedly sinister intentions lurking in World of Warcraft – such as the infamous “Tinyviolin”. He has now killed a large part of a WoW Hardcore guild for the second time. Despite a ban on his account, he announces: The third time will come.
Who is Tinyviolin? We already reported on the player Tinyviolin some time ago. He infiltrated the guild “HC Elite” to then dismantle it from within. The guild took on the “Hardcore” challenge of World of Warcraft – a game mode where each character has only one life and upon death the character is considered lost. The goal was clear: to drive as many characters as possible to death.
What did this player do? For almost a year he got along well with the guild, only to put his gruesome plan into action in the raid Naxxramas. The trust in him was so great that he was even used as a tank for the fight against the 4 Horsemen, one of the tougher battles in Naxxramas. Once the fight started, he deliberately pulled his boss into the wrong corner of the room, ensuring that a large part of the characters died.
But Tinyviolin was not satisfied with that. After that, he infiltrated another guild – and pursued the plan again. This time, the hour of truth was to strike in Ahn’qiraj, at the final boss C’thun. Here he activated the boss, causing several players of the raid to meet nearly immediate death.
The streamer Asmongold has also reacted to the incident:
What happened next? Obviously, he was reported for this behavior by several players – and shortly thereafter his account was banned, probably permanently. However, Tinyviolin is not deterred by this. It is assumed that he owns several WoW accounts and likely buys them (which is actually prohibited). He then announced: “That was the day of reckoning 2.0. The 3rd day of reckoning is already in planning and it will come.”
Why is he doing this? Why he repeatedly chooses HC Elite as a target to ruin the day of guildmates he explains in a stream. Whether that is a valid reason is debatable, as he says:
Because they are damn blue-haired nerds and bad things happen to bad people. HC Elite are scum.
Even though these troll attempts certainly have some entertainment value for viewers, he ruins the work of hundreds of hours for his fellow players every time, who repeatedly level a character and prepare him for raid level.
What do you think of such behavior? Just a funny way of trolling? Or rather concerning behavior?
