That’s because it is a thing called “benevolent racism.”
Attributing characteristics to an entire race/ethnic group of people, even if they are seemingly complimentary still marginalizes them.
Give it two more days after everyone’s memorized the YouTube video of them taking down the kill, if there was a video, when some Western/European Guilds starts taking the title of first kill for their region.
I posted this on Facebook, but i’ll reprint here for reference:
“For those wondering, I (Chris) updated the text in Wednesday’s strip, describing South Korea as being in “East Asia” rather than “Southeast Asia”. The original text was more indicative of the late hour I was typing up the copy rather than my lack of geography aptitude, and I apologize for the error.”
It took them 300 attempts to down the spine and 108 to down deathwing. Someone call Guinness and see what’s the world record for ass-in-a-chair-playing-computer-games. These guys might have broken a record that actually matters!
Honestly, while I’m glad for them, isn’t the world first blunted by the all the normal big time raid guilds having a week taken from them due to their cheating?
Sure, they cheated and got what they deserve, but they’re literally a week behind.
@Iron They’re a week behind because they cheated, so I don’t think it’s blunted at all. If KIN didn’t need to cheat to be able to get it down, and the other guilds were cheating to try to get everything needed to get it down, then KIN has proven to be superior for this fight.
It has been that the only way to guarantee world first kills is to hire lulzsec or anon to take down either opposing raiders servers or individual players in the middle of raids.
Soo imagine this I’m browsing the TL forums (a popular SC 2 site). I tell myself I should probably check up on MMO champion after about 2 months as I’m not playing wow at the moment and yet there it is more starcraft and korea…
About time the Koreans took a kill. Sure the Euros got a -8 Exploitation Awareness debuff but that’s just an excuse.
By the way, the racial bonus in the West is only +1, not +5 like you commonly would see in the East. It only applies when the raid is entirely Asian. So stop profiling when looking for apps. Every GM of every progression guild already knows this as stated in the Recruiting Manual FAQ issued several years back.
@Iron I can’t see how you consider it not legit. I mean, the punishment is the type like faking falls in football (not taking drugs, thats really overdoing it), you try it, if it works it gives u an advantage, but if you are busted then you will get some kind of punishment, not to put you out of the contest but it will definetly make it harder for you to win.
So really, this should be acknowledged world first. I don’t think its fair to say it doesn’t count because people cheated and got punished for it.
I thought Stars back during Wrath already proved that East > West when they killed 0-Light Yogg a week after all the pro-western guilds and tankspot were saying that it was not possible with that currently available gear level (without cheating).
you guys realize that it is a double edged blade type deal? now everyone will roll mages and rouges and not accept any other class, they messed up the game for the rest of us now
Goddamn. I wasn’t even aware the world first had occurred. Shocked it wasn’t Paragon, but gratz to KIN Raiders
From living in Georgia all my life I know that even if it is a complement it IS still racist.
I’m sorry but when were US guilds world first?

roll-over text ftw
Oh mouseover, you are my best friend EVER
i heard that asians have 2 reset per week, so it shouldnt be taken on account their first
For previous raids, chechar. Not Dragon Soul. :/
SlayerS_BoxeR <3
World firsts are overrated. >.>
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, on soooo many levels. Keep up the great work!
Umm… Korea is in NORTHeast Asia, not Southeast. Southeast would be Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc.
People who say World Firsts are overrated, have never achieved one. Keep that in Mind JesRaven

I laughed so hard, especially when I read the alt text. XD
*click click click clickclickclickclckclckclkclkclkclkclkckckckckckkkkkzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ*
*smoke starts rising*
Someone get a new keyboard ready, that’s not gonna last.
They also downed Kim Jong Il in the same week!
Boxer doesn’t play WoW >.< Funny nonetheless!
LOL I see the comic has been changed to say East Asia now, instead of Southeast.

THIS JUST IN – BOXER RETIRES FROM WORLD OF WARCRAFT – PROGAMING WORLD IN SHOCK

@Malleus:
*falls off her chair, laughing* +10 internets good sir!
Lee Chung =/= Korean name
SlayerSBoxeR is too good for WoW. I mean he’s a god amongst Koreans. He’s the emperor!
No Kim Jong-il joke?
I’m disappointed, internet.

Asians were allready dominating WoW.
They won Blizzcon 2011 and the WCG 2011, just saying.
BoxeR hwaiting!

“Cheaters never win”
LIM YO HWAN! LIM YO HWAN!!!
if only blizzard did not developed the habit of banning progression guilds for minor mistakes that they should had themselves fixed…
@Malleus
Bravo sir, bravo!
