So someone made a mod to make the garrison table missions look like something? otherwise you're just wrong. Either way, it's literally just a thing you log in, spend 2 seconds doing, and then go on your way to collect whatever your dudes bring back later. And that's literally the only thing you could even possibly be referencing besides someone making a mod that just animates random things for no reason.
The number of wow drama stories I could tell from the vanilla-tbc days could fill an entire thread, but the deaths of people you 'know' without really knowing are always the hardest.
My guild in vanilla/TBC/Wrath had a really bad string of all of this stuff, and it still makes me sad to think about, despite barely knowing these people beyond pixels in a game.
In Vanilla we had one of our best priests die in some stupid college frat party by falling off of a roof or trying to jump into a pool or something while he was blackout drunk
In TBC one of our tanks apparently lost custody of his kids because of something he perceived as ihs wife using the kids to get back at him, and he shot himself and his kids
(That one is really hard to resolve still, I obviously can't forgive what he did, but he was also one of the nicest and most soft spoken guys in our guild, so it was pretty shocking).
One of our hunters went to Brazil for a family wedding and was killed by a drunk driver (and his brother who was in the guild was the one that had to tell us).
I knew people that got married, divorced, cheated on each other, married other people's exes etc all within wow (and other MMOs, but at this point mostly wow).
As sad as all of this stuff can be to think about, it's mostly telling of how powerful the connections you make with people on the internet can be, and how fleeting it all is as well. Appreciate those you call friends, everyone.
