* World of Warcraft ([=WoW=]) Players Excited for Glorbo's Introduction[[labelnote:Explanation]]A trend as technology has gotten better is that trashy, low-effort gaming news sites are now using AI bots to scrape popular topics and comments from communities like Reddit and convert them into articles ''en masse'' with little if any human input. Users on r/wow took note, and fought back by coming together to talk about [[https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/154umm2/im_so_excited_they_finally_introduced_glorbo/ "Glorbo"]], a fake feature with nonsensical details improvised communally on the spot, in order to feed the bots junk data and expose their use. Sure enough, within hours the discussion showed up in [[https://archive.ph/4mOWr an article on one site]], which caused the story to spread among real human journalists ([[https://www.ign.com/articles/world-of-warcraft-players-trick-ai-website-into-covering-fictional-update-known-only-as-glorbo gaming]] and [[https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-66266344 otherwise]]) and prompting [[https://twitter.com/Zorbrix/status/1682141040248233984 a Blizzard employee to hop on the joke]]. The offending site would soon take down the article and remove its ''[=WoW=]'' section entirely. Other communities like ''VideoGame/Destiny2'' or ''VideoGame/BaldursGate3'' would intermittently follow suit by demanding their devs add Glorbo to trip up their own AI news bots, cementing "Glorbo" as an emblem of the backlash against ever-growing AI content farming in gaming news.[[/labelnote]]

* Blunderstorm.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Patch 10.2.6 was shrouded in secrecy, having no PTR and only teasing some kind of awesome pirate-themed event. When the event, Plunderstorm, was actually announced on release date, it turned out to be a battle royale PvP minigame with not much replay value for PvE-only players, and a ridiculously long reputation grind to get the actually cool cosmetic rewards. Also, weirdly for a pirate-themed event, it was put in an instanced version of Arathi Highlands instead of a more iconic pirate location like Plunder Isle or Freehold. Reception has been... mixed to say the least, with players calling the event underwhelming, or complaining about the reputation grind or forced PvP.[[/labelnote]]

* Expansion "leaks"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Towards the end of an expansion's runtime, usually in the run up to the release of the final major patch, fan forums get flooded with messages purporting insider information on the next expansion. The general trend is that they're mostly variants of whatever the lore theorist community is clickbaiting about recently, there's a few hot-button hooks shoved in that players have been asking for (e.g. Tinker class), and the main evidence against it is there's too much conspicuous pandering for it to be real. As the announcement date nears, there's often one guy who has ''real'' info and images from the upcoming expansion, and the reaction is that [[CassandraTruth it's obviously fake too]].[[/labelnote]]
