PHASED OUT: Muh.....

"LOL owned"

I'm somewhat irritated by the way Alliance players (they suck hard) post threads/comments entitled "lol owned" as if they just did something hugely important or massively awesome.

Which, 99% of the time, it isn't.

One such asshat boasted about how he so heroically killed a lowbie Horde player for no reason.
[General][Player1] OMFG LMAO I JUST OWNED A 21 SHAMAN
Player1 - Level 70 Night Elf Hunter

Another "heroic" Alli boasted of how he "owned" by going south of Ratchet, killing Humar the Pridelord (rare unique cat, highly prized, 12-hour spawn timer) for the sole reason of preventing Horde Hunters from taming it.
For another 12 hours.
Wow. I'm impressed. You're so awesome, except for two things:
1 - You only stalled the taming of it by 12 hours, no problem at all.
2 - Humar is just as much a target to Alliance Hunters as he is to Horde Hunters. You just stopped your fellow faction members from taming it, too!

Some Allis are claiming to have "OWNED" the whole funeral memorial service (I'm referring to the highly known incident in which an in-game funeral for a real-life person's death was moronically disrupted by Serenity Now guild members). They "OWNED" the players who were honouring the dead person.
NEWS FLASH! You didn't own anything. You just made idiots of yourselves and showed the player base that you don't care for anyone.

Note: I am aware that the Serenity Now guild members who disrupted the ceremony didn't actually get the approval of the higher echelons of their guild at all. In fact, it was only a few members who did what they did and I'm pretty sure the Serenity Now guild are just standard Alliance asshats, unlike the massively-up-themselves idiots who did such a stupid thing.

The moral of this story?

Don't go announcing to the world that you OWNED something like you're so awesome when in fact it is a minor thing anyone anywhere could reproduce.
