I agree with this angle of the Leeroy Jenkins saga. Over analyzing strategy before going into big fights ruins immersion. Nothing wrong with forming a plan of attack, but sometimes it gets to the point where people practically pull out their chalk boards and draw it up for everyone. The sign of a good gamer is one who can adjust during the fight.
You apparently havent played the really difficult WoW endgame content.... strategizing on this level is absolutely vital if you have any intention of succeeding =)
No hard feelings, just FYI |

I watched the video again. Even with all the planning, one of the players calculated their chance of success at only 32.33%. I guess I failed to take into account the hardcore, heavy handed, massive boss mob killing machines that Blizzard programmed into WoW. |

as the wikipedia entry stated before, the video was a machinima, ie: a movie made by art. Yes, it is a "fake" in the sense that that particular situation never happened for real but was made up. However, I am sure many similar situations similar to that DID happen for real and that is why the whole movie was made up. |

LOL, what the hell was the name of that dwarf in Guild War's Eye of the North expansion? Elroy Stoneskin? Either way, yeah, Leeroy has (unfortunately) unfluenced other MMOs. |

I think he moderates the Arena Tournaments (at least he did back in 2007) Finals. |

''Hey now!'' - the immortal, cheesy catch-phrase of Hank Kingsly from The Larry Sanders Show. |
This was the video I saw when the whole Leeroy thing was getting talked about in WoW a couple of years ago now (at least it seems that long ago!): http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LkCNJRfSZBU&feature=related
Really don't think it was a fake. Think it became a cult classic as it was just a really idiotic wipe. I may be wrong, but I hopt it wasn't just made up as it used to make me laugh so hard that snotters would run down my face! |

Originally posted by Majestico It was 100% fake. They guy who made the video ran around and agroed everthing he could. He even agroed some of the Dragon kin on the ledge. I've been to UBRS over 100 times. It's obviously fake. |
