    Path of Exile’s global channels have had a glorious history of unhinged nonsense. A dev was even around to witness this one!

        It was only obtainable for a short period of time. It was rare and stood out. If you had one, it was something to show off. So they’d literally link it in chat to show off. It turned into a meme of people looking for any excuse to link it. Hence “did someone say…” variants with it linked. Then it went too far and wouldn’t die. Then people without the item would do it without the link. Just got stupid.

    I was hoping the launch of Classic would bring back classic loot rules and with it, prime opportunities for very public breakdowns during raids. It did not.

    Really missed an opportunity here, Blizzard.

      You will never hear of Chuck Norris’ exploits while hoofing it across the entire Barrens to finish one fetch quest again.

      Despite all that, there was the Warlock who Ninja’d the Sword dropping in Naxx on the final day. Fun times. Now that we’re slowly approaching Classic MoP we’ll finally see if the masterplan worked out too.

      Coincidentally, loot drama that wouldn’t have been possible in retail WoW is exactly why I stopped playing Classic a few months after launch.
