I mean, that's kind of common sense. Or you would think it would be.

Thanks for your reply. There was another poster asking about the WoW comment so I will clarify for you both!

There were a handful of players on Moon Guard who had claimed to be part of the groups of heroes who had conquered certain enemies. As a server-wide rule, you could only claim such if you held the realm-first title/acheivement associated with it.

I am thinking of one player in particular as an example, a Paladin named Eldanesh, who had the "Conqueror of Naxxaramas" title, which he then wore proudly, and was part of his story in which he had been part of the team to storm the undead fortress of Naxxaramas and kill the minions of the Lich King within.Â

Other players were free to claim to also have been alongside him, but they simply held less credibility. This was a discussion that was held on the realm forums (I think back in 2010?) and the general consensus was that this was "Ok" because only a small group of players could achieve these things and so there would not be hundreds of people walking around claiming to have killed the big bads ICly.

Ah, yeah. That was after/around the time I quit, I think. I helped get super deep into Naxx 40 back in the day, but I never really cared to do Naxx 20 because it was just.. idk. The same?

I was on Moon Guard when The Council was around, which consisted of myself (RPing as a guard), Dreyfus, uh.. Nithian? Female rogue? They made rules and whatnot for people in Stormwind to follow. I want to say Arranax was around then as well? I could drop some more old school names from there, but I don't really know what happened to it as I kind of bailed when the game got relatively boring for me. I know it no longer exists.

I think people already claim "Hey I was with X" in game, such as fighting during the cataclysm and helping to take out primals, but no one expressly states they are the top whatever.

As I said before, I don't mind people claiming whatever as long as they can back it up. I've had people claim to be the best combat fighter and then do some weird sprint 20 yards, bounce off a wall, then sprint 20 yards back kind of wrestling rip-off move and armbar someone in the ground. They were using rolls, so of course the attack connected, but I prefer far more realism in my combat. Flashy fights are how you usually get your ass kicked, and I would expect someone that claims to be the top however percent to know that kind of thing. This may sound a tad cynical, but I don't really have that much faith in people these days.

Thank you for your clarification, though! Some of that may have been going on during my time there, but I honestly don't recall when I quit and how long I was around.
