Actually it’s not that funny at all. I mean, it’s a picture that’s taken out of a reportage (which made by the GEE Magazine, not by Spiegel, actually. Wrong source there).
Thus it’s clear this is an arranged picture (there are multiple others in the same apparel).
ahh yes
-frayed robed
-worn leather sandals

-all spells to instant cast

etc etc.
Not funny, man. The Elfcare System is flawed and we loose good elves that way. We need to get together and have the system overhauled. *grabs black armbands and placards*
“ELFCARE SYSTEM”?! THERE IS NO SUCH THING (and I would know, considering I’m a Sylvan half-elf werewolf ranger.) IF THERE WERE, ADVENTURERS WOULD NEVER DIE! (because elves, especially Sylvan elves, spend practically all their time in the wilderness) AND WHAT”S MORE, ELVES VALUE THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL MORE THAN OF SOCIETY! THEY WOULD NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER MAKE SOMETHING THAT RIDICULOUS!
Yeah, cause everyone in the world who doesn’t play WoW is a complete idiot and has been living under a rock because they don’t recognize this character, don’t ya know! LoL.
FWIW, I don’t get this either… but that’s why I read comments, to have these things explained to me.
Yeah but the males always look like LOOK AT ME I’M SO PRETTY I’M PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY LOOK LOOK AT THIS PRETTY PRETTY and the females are like “Oh please, I don’t care about YOU or anything else; have you NOT seen how GORGEOUS I am?” — Nonetheless, my lock is a girl belf and she’s one of my favorites.
Ugh, one has to adhere to the customs of a new community, and answering an “or” question with a “Yes” is something usually found on FB…
*crying voice* I just wanted to blend in…
*runs off to picture of own Diablo2 hero* At least you like me, ZOMGAwesoMeP4l4D1nPwn, right?
Ach ja, Mojo – du wirst das schon hinkriegen. Aller Anfang ist schwer und wie jede Gemeinschaft habe wir ‘n paar Regeln. Auf ht tp://failpeeps.wordpress.com/failblog-rules/ findest du Erklärungen.
well, mojo, i’m not a paladin (chaotic evil alignment), but i’m a ranger, that counts for something, right?
and Arthur, please. no elf jokes. i find them extremely racist (what with my being a half-Sylvan elf.)
Ciao ima mojO !!!1!!1!
Il crescione o cassone o cascione (in dialetto romagnolo carsoun) è una tipica preparazione basata sulla piadina dove la sfoglia viene farcita, ripiegata e chiusa prima della cottura. La farciture di erba crescione, che ora è difficile da trovare, ma un tempo abbondava lungo i fossati, ne darebbe il nome: questa erba – di per sè già saporita – poteva venire ulteriormente insaporita con aglio, cipolla, o scalogno. Questa usanza deriverebbe dal largo uso che si è sempre fatto nella cucina romagnola di erbe (compresa la “bietola”, ovvero le foglie della barbabietola che si raccoglievano per diradarne la coltura)
… huh? what? when and how did failblog turn Spanish? is this the beginning of the end of the world? is it really impossible to find the world’s best pizza? will anybody join me in putting a stop to “first” comments? will i ever stop asking these dumb questions?
The fail is simply the fact that someone cared enough about a WoW character to put it in a better frame than the real portrait next to it.
Get a life Fail.
People hire me for gaming paintings (on canvas–not edited images of their characters thank you!). They spend so much time in game they need something to commemorate what they have done in game.
Then I guess they don’t feel like they’ve wasted a lot of time.
I play Warcraft myself. It’s a nice break from a job where if I screw up I can kill 30 patients at a time in dialysis.
It’s not a real accomplishment, you know. You can bang your head against a wall for 5 years and at the end, you didn’t really accomplish anything.
I regret wasting all the time I did on WoW.
If I had worked on a real accomplishment, like a project car, improving my guitar playing, or doing better at work, then I’d want a commemoration. WoW isn’t real. It is not a real accomplishment to have a character that you’ve sunk your life into.
I know it isn’t. It’s a break for me. It’s fun. Other people really get too far into it though. I love the ones to try smacktalking us casual players because ‘we are not uber’.
At least in painting other characters, I increase my artistic skills. I win.
I think I saw this one in a magazine. The story was about how hard it is to stop playing role games and what people felt when they had to bury their heros.
This is from a german newssite, which wrote about certain players, who told their story about how they started to play, what their character is like, how immersed they got into the game, how their personal life suffered because of their addiction and how they quit the game.
For every person there was a photo-montage like the one in this blog-entry, so that’s not an actual picture of that dudes bedroom, it’s just a made up image for that article.
I wonder if it’s not the Character that keeps his nerd pic frammed on his virtual room desk.
Imagine…all WoW characters with frammes of their special nerdiest players!
oO
Does ,having a coffee mug with my Mage in full gear printed on it ,
made by your loving non-nerdy wife, who accepts the fact that she may not understand the gaming thing but is ok with it just alsong as you let her hogg the tv for stuff like e-channel
make me a geek-nerd?????
*makes a vulcan-life-long-and-prosper sign*
proud to be geek
Hey guys, I just thought I’d let you know this thread has a lot in common with the trade chat channel in World of Warcraft (WOW). You see, being a looser is much more about what you say and how you act than whether or not you play WOW.
Guy with glasses… well, looks a bit weird actually… but the real FAIL is OMG, WTF? a BELF Pally!!! that’s da shit! If you absolutely want to loose all your friends and that your family members doesn’t talk to you any more just tell them taht you play a BELF PALLY !!!
This picture was part of a German magazine’s ( Der Spiegel) article on gamers who have stopped gaming. The photo was staged and taken to match the content of the article. It was one of a series of similar pictures juxtaposing former gamers with their former avatars.
The cartoon character in question is a World of Warcraft character wearing fairly rare, high-level equipment (or at least, it used to be).
I presume people think this is a “fail” because the guy played WoW enough to get the equipment and liked his character enough to print out a picture of him.
I’ll bet the guy in the picture had a lot more fun playing his character than the people insulting him are having, though.
World of Warcraft gear is divided into Poor, Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic classes depending on how good it is. The paladin in the picture is decked out in Epic gear – the best Epic gear available at the time, thus its recognizability – so it’s an Epic FAIL.
Everyone here is making fun of the guy in the picture, going “lol get a life”, but they know they’d do the SAME THING (or more) if they had a digital alter-ego with a story behind it, and put enough heart into it as people in MMO’s tend to do.
Wait, this was too deep and too much thinking for Failblog, sorry. I’ll fix it.
why is everyone assuming that the guy in the picture owns the pictures? If some dude has a portrait of himself on his dresser, that’s a fail in its own right, but it doesn’t seem likely.
As for the wow character, I’ve stared at the picture, read all the comments/explanations, and I still don’t understand why this is funny.
The black band means death, right? S’not such a big deal in WoW. Maybe, just maybe, the proud parents got him to move out and delete his WoW account so that he could afford macaroni and ketchup.
I even know this guy^^
Hes one of my close friends and got 50 € for taking part at that shit.^^
Do you wanna have his phone number to laugh at him? xD
xDD it’s so damn funny that he has a portrait of his b-elf at his table!!! But grats. to the t6 ^^ I have a wow character too but I’m not hooke like this guy…
I sorta posted a comment but it didn’t come through.
He has a floating crown. He must be awesome.
Actually it’s not that funny at all. I mean, it’s a picture that’s taken out of a reportage (which made by the GEE Magazine, not by Spiegel, actually. Wrong source there).
Thus it’s clear this is an arranged picture (there are multiple others in the same apparel).
The fact that you know all this makes you king of the geeks.
the fact that you said that makes you an asshole. He’s right, it’s not funny and probably fake.
Jesus christ its a Blood Elf!
Black band on photo? If I was a Belf paladin, I’d suicide as well … or roll Alliance.
If I were an alliance I would commit suicide. Although a Paladin? Really? Of all the other fun classes you could play? DIAF!
You play world of warcraft? You, sir, are no girl.
Lots of girls rock the shit out of WoW. Look out virgin dweebs, we’re coming to melt your face! For the Horde! LOL
IM not a chick but still FOR THE HORDE!!
For the Alliance!!!!!
FOR THE SCOURGE!!!
EARTHMOTHER BITCHES!!!!!
The Horde is getting Goblins. GOBLINS for gods sake lol!1
For the Alliance!
Lok’tar ogar!!! FOR THE HORDE.
And goblins>Werewolves anyday
FOR THE NACHOS!!!!!
FOR THE HORDE!!!!
FOR THE LICH KING!
WOW Women unite!
w00t for rocking our faces ;-D
Damn right! Especially Horde WoW Women!
Women Undress!
Dead naked under A’dal is the best place to log out.
YEAH! Unite!
Womens emancipation in cyberspace, nowthat’s progress
Hmm, guess I’ll have to tell my gorgeous wife she’s actually a man.
So you are finally going to admit you are gay?
If that person I live with is a man them I MUST be gay ‘cuz she’s a BABE.
This chick and her epicced up undead warlock would disagree with you :p
That is not a fail pic. That is a WIN! And ofc, For The Horde!
Pitty if the guy isn’t playing anymore though…
but ally are 10 year old scrubs
no those r just the rogues
Jesus Christ is not a blood elf… oh… nvm.
Jesus Christ is a Shaman, however. (Water walking, reincarnation)
Jesus the Christ is the only God and the only way to heaven
Jesus “Christ” has the lamest gear of all! Stupid old robe and a pair of dusty sandles! I’d gank his ass!
Jesus only had Twill gear, even pre-patch Onxyia would have kicked his arse :p
That robe and those sandals are Legendary items and give you +400 each on all traits, abilities and skills.
ahh yes
-frayed robed
-worn leather sandals
both in the common grey range
BUT, he has his red ARTIFACT CLASS HALO
stats-infinite stamina
-infinate intellect
-100% crit chance
-all spells to instant cast
-allows summon combat guardian the holy spirit
-can obtain ALL proffessions
-can fly with no mount
etc etc.
Conjure wine!! and Reincarnation to bad back then it had three days cool down ;/
thank god its not gnome!
The fact that you’re telling other people that something they find funny isn’t funny make YOU an asshole.
King of Kings! Made me have a 10 minute conversation with my 16yr old on “Don’t be that guy!”
You’re a Geek for just saying that
At least he’s very well-geared for Burning Crusade!
Yeah man, Tier 6 haha
Nice!
WOW lovers are a waste of life.
Did the Intergalactic High Elvenking…die?
Yes, he died because of an STD, after he had sex with a White Fairytoon Megawhore.
EHM EHM..
Black armbands at the ready.
Yes, losing an elf can make for a bad day.
He isn’t dead yet, just lost in the elfcare system.
Win!
Not funny, man. The Elfcare System is flawed and we loose good elves that way. We need to get together and have the system overhauled. *grabs black armbands and placards*
“ELFCARE SYSTEM”?! THERE IS NO SUCH THING (and I would know, considering I’m a Sylvan half-elf werewolf ranger.) IF THERE WERE, ADVENTURERS WOULD NEVER DIE! (because elves, especially Sylvan elves, spend practically all their time in the wilderness) AND WHAT”S MORE, ELVES VALUE THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL MORE THAN OF SOCIETY! THEY WOULD NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER MAKE SOMETHING THAT RIDICULOUS!
as a Belf – he’s ineligible.
FAIL
B11 ftw! For the horde!
I don’t really get it. Maybe the girl likes robot things and nerdy guys. Not very far fetched.
Is your brain capacity taken up through concentrating on all that digesting?
…and the insult is because the poster knows nothing about WoW?
Oh, how far the geeks have fallen…
Yeah, cause everyone in the world who doesn’t play WoW is a complete idiot and has been living under a rock because they don’t recognize this character, don’t ya know! LoL.
FWIW, I don’t get this either… but that’s why I read comments, to have these things explained to me.
Hoping you may one day know the smile and touch of a female, that isn’t your mother?
This manboy will save the world one day… of Warcraft!
It’d help to know whose room this is.
Hell blood elves are damn hot, both genders.
Yeah but the males always look like LOOK AT ME I’M SO PRETTY I’M PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY LOOK LOOK AT THIS PRETTY PRETTY and the females are like “Oh please, I don’t care about YOU or anything else; have you NOT seen how GORGEOUS I am?” — Nonetheless, my lock is a girl belf and she’s one of my favorites.
But we all want to be paladins someday!
but i wanna be a shammy
ONCE I’ll be a lvl 80 elf! That’s my biggest dream!!!
And I don’t care what you think about me, if you hate me or not, if you slap me allday. I DON’T CARE!
But don’T f@ck with my elf!!
*vaccinates*
That’s no resolution!
Would it help to steralize it?
The elf or the jerk?
Yes.
Do you want something to eat or to drink?
- Yes –
mhhh stupid question or stupid answer?
NO!
Did you leave your humour sleeping in bed this morning?
You seriously expect humour from someone who has “!!!1!!1!” in his name?
Now you put it like that… I guess not.
I’m at work so I’ve less to laugh about.
But I don’t see any humor in a Yes. Do you? If you do you can explain it to me, I’m open for new thing.
And Arthur what’s the mattre about the !!!1!!!1! as I think you now I just used some Troll attitude for my name.
It’s funny cos it’s silly! Lighten up, Mr Elebenty.
Jam gimme a chance.
*Have to find humor – looking under my bed*
I FOUND!
*opens head, takes brain – throws brain away – puts humor in*
I’m ready for ironie. ^.^
Ugh, one has to adhere to the customs of a new community, and answering an “or” question with a “Yes” is something usually found on FB…
*crying voice* I just wanted to blend in…
*runs off to picture of own Diablo2 hero* At least you like me, ZOMGAwesoMeP4l4D1nPwn, right?
And, I might add, the maître about the !!!1!!!1! is that troll attitude mostly isn’t funny.
@ Can’tThinkofNameToday
I only like you if your paladin is a hammerdin or smither.
And btw I’m on FB since yesterday, so excuse me if I don’t get everything from first second.
@ Arthur
It was funny for me and I could laugh about. Don’t take it to serious please.
What’s the martyr with your vocabulary?
@ Arthur
Vocabulary is a mortar of opinion.
I’m living in switzerland (nationality CZE), speaking & writing in german/swissgerman/czech/italian is no problem.
I’m learning french/english by my self
You misspelled ‘elf’.
♬ Elf, I need somebody,

Okey, danke dir Arthur. Ich werde mein bestes geben. Wollte nicht dumm rüberkommen vorher, sorry.
Gonna take my break now and have a nice Waldwarf Salad.
See ya!
und herzlich wilkommen, Mojo!
(that sounded a bit odd)
Was that salad named after the hotel close to the Orc de Triomphe in Paris?
well, mojo, i’m not a paladin (chaotic evil alignment), but i’m a ranger, that counts for something, right?
and Arthur, please. no elf jokes. i find them extremely racist (what with my being a half-Sylvan elf.)

pizza?
… huh? what? when and how did failblog turn Spanish? is this the beginning of the end of the world? is it really impossible to find the world’s best pizza? will anybody join me in putting a stop to “first” comments? will i ever stop asking these dumb questions?
Actually that was Italian, not Spanish … something about cooking with herbs, I believe. Has WoW started to become a kinder, gentler sort of warfare?
My biggest dream is to have wild sex with two beautiful girls in a space station. My biggest dream could beat up your biggest dream.
Your dream appears to have ninja skills, and a +10 mace of Boshing quite frankly!
No i prefer the elf!
Hmmm…I’m divided…. I’ll go with the Elf
(*Goodmornin’ Ima*)
You & me & the elf. Well d/c about the elf. ( lol )
Goodmorning Maki.
I’d go with the chicks…
For purely scientific purposes, of course – to check if all fluids form spherical droplets
After two days it’s like sitting in a snow globe.
Wouldn’t it be corrosion???
That too. And sticky.
*corrosive*
and hairy…hihihi
Oh Noes. Its 85 Now
that gear was hard to get at one time.
he should have made a big poster instead.
The fail is simply the fact that someone cared enough about a WoW character to put it in a better frame than the real portrait next to it.
Get a life Fail.
Don’t worry, this is just a display at IKEA.
According to the catalogue the items are BÖLB, FOTOT and POTATISK DRÅVER.
*SNORK!*
Sorry…
*SNØRK!* of course.

Who says everything you do has to have a point?
I know it isn’t. It’s a break for me. It’s fun. Other people really get too far into it though. I love the ones to try smacktalking us casual players because ‘we are not uber’.
At least in painting other characters, I increase my artistic skills. I win.
putting pictures of belf pallys wearing t6 is a fail, if it is i dont want to win
This is one of the most disturbing pictures I’ve seen lately.
*discretely hides Tintin picture under bed*
Czuhc that’s fail, Tintin is a LEGEND.
He’s not a legend. He was just a very naughty boy.
You seem to have different Tintin books than I have.
He has got the Tintin Hustler edition. Muhahaha.
Tintin in the Cöckhöle.
Cigars of the President.
Hahaha.
The Spanking of the Unicorn.
Followed naturally by Red Rackham’s Pleasure
Have you ever seen the very first one? It’s Tintin in the Land of the Ho Licks.
I thought it was Tintin in the Land of the Sapphists?
Tintin in The Bed.

As you can see, the pictures are produced.
I think I saw this one in a magazine. The story was about how hard it is to stop playing role games and what people felt when they had to bury their heros.
They must have hard feelings/emotions when they loose their wow char…ROFL.
Yeah, that was kinda the point.
He’s not used to your deadpan way.

It’s dead? What am I going to cook the Turkey in?
An oven?
Touche!
Always!
I wish I was Will.
*squeezes guybo*
hmmm…i don’t think you have what it takes!
That depends on if he made a sword-jabbing attack when you squeezed him.
I guess not…
Would it be a dagger-atack??
See what happens, I log out for a few minutes and find I have been molested, and then degraded. No wonder I like this board.
Not molested! Squeezed!!
It’s my fantasy, I’ll remember how i will.
Where there’s a Will …
How do you lose one?
A WoW character can dream, can’t she?
do wow-chars dream of virtual sheep?
Explosive Sheeps http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4384
yeahyeah, i knew there was a better joke to be made.
i never made it past 100 or so in engineering before stopping with wow.
More like explosive sheep (refer to website).
Take a chance, like all dreamers, can’t find another way,
You don’t have to dream it all, just live a day
Yay!

I say a little prayer for you.

This is from a german newssite, which wrote about certain players, who told their story about how they started to play, what their character is like, how immersed they got into the game, how their personal life suffered because of their addiction and how they quit the game.

I roleplay. Old fashioned tabletop RPG stuff. But this is seriously wandering into Blackleaf NOOOO territory …
OMG! Why I didn’t tough that before!? I want a picture of my character in my bedroom =D
Maybe because it was TOO tough?
I mean thought xDDDD.
A perfect example of Burroughs’ cut up technique gone awry.
I just mailed. I doubt there’ll be a response before America wakes up though.

Well, I’d say if the name of you mage is written in kyrillic, you might be a greek.
You will be if you put the pic of your mage frammed next to the pic of your wedding day
In Soviet Russia, greek alphabet is kyrillic.
kyrillic? Cyrillic?
well i´d say you ain’t, if you didn’t celebrate the wedding in undercity or orgrimmar or something
I have to admit to being a Geek, and proud, I just don’t advertise the fact!
Fail? Nay.
Who left the stable door open again?
*bolts*
Hey guys, I just thought I’d let you know this thread has a lot in common with the trade chat channel in World of Warcraft (WOW). You see, being a looser is much more about what you say and how you act than whether or not you play WOW.
I’m a bit looser than I was a few years ago.
Just sayin’
Can you clap?
Yes but it echoes.
Multiply the sound – the neighbors will like it!
They’ll think someone his firing an automatic around the neighbourhood.
To hunt deer? Nay – boars.
What defines a tighter then?
It’s thight if you can’t *squeeze* in
I’m pretty loose, but that’s hardly relevant.
i’m glad that gayelf died, i hate gayelfs
The nice Heal Paladin died…. didn’t he bubble + hearthstone? o.O
Bubbleheart is overrated.
My paladin is better imo.
At first he died, now he dead.
omg did he died?
♬ I had a dream…when i was young ♬

But do you dream the impossible dream?

Not getting this fail at all, I am missing something?
He framed a picture of a digital character that he presumably plays in World of Warcraft.
Played, presumably – hence the black ribbon.
Guy with glasses… well, looks a bit weird actually… but the real FAIL is OMG, WTF? a BELF Pally!!! that’s da shit! If you absolutely want to loose all your friends and that your family members doesn’t talk to you any more just tell them taht you play a BELF PALLY !!!
Belf Pallies: KILL THEM WITH FIRE!!!1!!!
OMG!! The blogmonster accidenty the whole fail!
I blame Arthur!
THIS GAME CAUSES NO LIFE
no this game causes people who really have no life to comment on how they think wow players have no life
Oooh, he’s a cutie.
The elf, I mean.
The guy’s girlfriend agreed. That’s why she put the photo of her character in the big frame.
Oh, you thought that was his character?
LEEROOOOOOOOOOYY MMMMMJEEEENKIIIIIIINNNNNSS!!!!!!!!!!!
LMFAO. DAME IT LEROY!
Least I have chicken.
Bah, this Leroy was an f@#$ Ally b@$tard!
For the Wh… sorry… Horde!
Stick to the plan!!
This picture was part of a German magazine’s ( Der Spiegel) article on gamers who have stopped gaming. The photo was staged and taken to match the content of the article. It was one of a series of similar pictures juxtaposing former gamers with their former avatars.
tsk, a pala…=p
I WOULD SO HIT THAT…in the face
I don’t get this. What’s the ‘fail’? What’s even the joke here? All it is is a picture of some guy next to a picture of some cartoon character.
And for this to actually earn the designation of ‘epic’…..that’s sad. This needs more explanation.
The cartoon character in question is a World of Warcraft character wearing fairly rare, high-level equipment (or at least, it used to be).
I presume people think this is a “fail” because the guy played WoW enough to get the equipment and liked his character enough to print out a picture of him.
I’ll bet the guy in the picture had a lot more fun playing his character than the people insulting him are having, though.
Thanks to Min and AnonaMiss for helping to clarify. Obviously I have no idea what World of Warcraft is, which would explain why I was so clueless.
World of Warcraft gear is divided into Poor, Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic classes depending on how good it is. The paladin in the picture is decked out in Epic gear – the best Epic gear available at the time, thus its recognizability – so it’s an Epic FAIL.
Everyone here is making fun of the guy in the picture, going “lol get a life”, but they know they’d do the SAME THING (or more) if they had a digital alter-ego with a story behind it, and put enough heart into it as people in MMO’s tend to do.
Wait, this was too deep and too much thinking for Failblog, sorry. I’ll fix it.
LOL U SUK GET A LIEF
Not a fail. What exactly is it a fail of?
The only fail is the fact that this was labeled a fail.
well that, and that he was a paladin, which are fail by nature.
Great post, thanks..
Biggest fail in the history of fail… I’m speechless!
Haha, i recognize that picture! is from GEE Magazine. Love it
omg but that guy is kinda…..cute xD * nerddrooool*
*agrees*
GOOD THX
THANKS YOU BEATUFULL POST
This isn’t a fail, it’s a WIN.

If you’re a girl and you just started dating a guy and you walk into his room and see this on his dresser… just run…

BC>WOTLK … sure do miss when wow was more fun and hard… sucks my t6 collects dust now
why is everyone assuming that the guy in the picture owns the pictures? If some dude has a portrait of himself on his dresser, that’s a fail in its own right, but it doesn’t seem likely.
As for the wow character, I’ve stared at the picture, read all the comments/explanations, and I still don’t understand why this is funny.
Ha! My Draenei deathknight is so much hotter than her
Female Draenei are frigging stupid hot. That epic, no legendary booty, omg.
Next we’ll see wedding photos of him marrying a blow up Japanese doll, on a beach.
is that his memorial photo??
I keep my Night Elf Erwinrar on my desk
Especially a fail being a blood elf
See, instead of epic fail, the title should be Heroic Fail. Gotta stay true to Warcraft!
Tell me if I’m wrong here, but I think that this is the same guy who perpetrated this fail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzyznEewpio
that picture is a fake
The black band means death, right? S’not such a big deal in WoW. Maybe, just maybe, the proud parents got him to move out and delete his WoW account so that he could afford macaroni and ketchup.
Why didn’t he just corpse-run?
For the Alliance!! Lvl 80 Paladin right here…and I’m female ^^
Only DEAD elves are GOOD elves. 8[
This is the nerdiest comment page in all of Failblog
It’s taken from an article about people quitting WoW in a German videogame magazine, so no fail at all.

With all the Tier 6 that Paladin is wearing, shouldn’t that be Epic *WIN*?
