Give Me Tier 7 or Give Me Death!
As if humanity needed another reason to hate MMORPGs, or more specifically the players. The MiddleTown Journal reported that on Monday, Dec. 29th, police arrested a 17-year-old boy for pretending to be suicidal. Officials stated that the boy was having an online conversation with a Blizzard Entertainment representative. When the boy wasn’t getting his way, he typed…
“[...]he was suicidal and that the game is the only thing he has to live for.”
The representative then called 911. Police and paramedics responded to the call where they discovered the child was only pulling a prank; the suicidal threat being his trump card to get what he wanted from the game. He was then arrested, handcuffed, and placed into a squad car. He is being charged with a first-degree misdemeanor and was soon released back to his father.
The boy is scheduled to be in court Tuesday, Jan. 6. We can only hope the judge and jury are all World of Warcraft players so this whelp can get proper punishment like a few years doing nothing but Pick Up-Groups(PUGs).

WOW. (See what I did there?)
What a fucking REEEEETARD. He deserves to be put away for quite a long time. WITHOUT a computer.
The only positive note about this story is the ultimate power of Blizzard. You screw with em..you get arrested!
Ugh. Reminds me of the “i can haz recon?” people on Bungie.
What’s a pick-up-group.
A pick up group is when you find random people that want to group and go do something. Relate it to things like dipping your face into acid. Most people Looking for group in WoW are like Xbox Live players..(most, not all are bad)
Ahhh, suicide, the only crime in America that is illegal to attempt but not to commit.
