[00:01] toxic place, or is it a friendly community? This we will try to figure out today because I'm going to pretend to be a complete beginner at the game and test out the players a little bit. So, the idea is that I'm going to be

[00:14] asking random people for random kinds of help and see if they are willing to help me or not. If people are toxic or if they're nice to me when I'm trying to something back to the people that actually are nice and helping out new

[00:29] players, I am going to give them some gold to show some appreciation for their find some people and see if we can get some help. Okay, I found someone here on an amazing looking mount. So, I asked,

[00:41] "How do you get this awesome mount?" And let's see if we get a response or not. I doubt it. The person seems to be AFK. It is very hard to get in contact with people over all here. Okay, he actually answered and said, "M plus." Okay, what

[00:54] answered and said, "M plus." Okay, what is that? not answer. So, I guess he wasn't that helpful. Let's see if this guy knows helpful. Let's see if this guy knows what mythic plus is.

[01:09] target here. He is saying, "Hey, hey, welcome. M plus is a mythic plus dungeon, which is very nice. End game content level 90." Okay, thank you. How do I get that nice kitten that you are riding? "Sorry, only English." Ooh,

[01:23] nice mount. These are some nice mounts this guy have. Actually, I've never seen this mount. From the UK? A Sweden, actually, I am from. So, holy [ __ ] this guy is showing off his mounts. I think this is store

[01:36] he had before, though. But this is a definitely a nice person that should be awarded with some currency if he doesn't just bail on us right now. "I have like just bail on us right now. "I have like 200 mounts," he says. Holy, that I want

[01:51] to get as well. Do you have Discord? He asked me if I have Discord right now. This is a really nice person. I'm actually like very happily about this and this guy should definitely be awarded with some currency. I am going

[02:05] to give this person 75,000 gold for being such a nice person. I definitely worth it. Yeah, he took it. That is absolutely amazing. So, I just such a nice person. I'm actually recording a video testing the community

[02:21] to see if people are nice or not and you are very nice. Uh you know this game? Yes, I do. I'm sorry. Didn't mean to lie. I feel like people become friendly and social again in the wild. That is what we all want. I

[02:34] noticed that people are more saying hi and so again. That is great. I'm happy that is true. But this was a very nice interaction and now I'm going to try to find my next target. Spread kindness with kindness, right? This is such an

[02:48] him. I will go ahead and try to find some more people now. But this was The other guy flew away from me, but this guy was so helpful. He even wanted to go Discord and most likely wanted to like explain stuff to me, how to get

[03:03] a chat. Yeah, that just makes me very happy to see. We got another interaction. "Hello, nice mount," I wrote. He said, "Thanks. How did you get that one?" "It's from the trader. It's from the trader. It's this

[03:17] one? Can you show me? Let's see if this guy can actually show me where it is. If he leads me there, I'm going to trade him gold instantly. Uh this is absolutely amazing to see. I am so far very happily surprised how people treats

[03:31] this nice in this game. I don't know why I didn't expect it though, but just something told me that people is just not dealing with new players. Oh, he actually showed me. Thank you so much for the help. Let's give this guy 25,500

[03:47] gold for helping me. Let's see if he takes it or not. Just randomly trading people for helping me is just feeling very strange. He said, "No problem, but said, "Please take it. I'm trying to spread some love to nice people. Thank

[04:00] you for the time." That he definitely deserves, of course. Maybe they feel tricked that I'm acting like I am a new player. I hope they don't take it as a bad thing, though. Since I give them gold, I hope I don't make them feel

[04:12] we can get another one to help us with something.

[04:26] Okay, I didn't know that was possible. How much does a nice mount like that cost? We might have another person joining up on the interaction here. When you're in the battle app, there is a shop. Okay, I should be looking at it.

[04:39] shop? You can also go to the shop from within the game. Ooh, that is cool. I within the game. Ooh, that is cool. I will try that. I'm new to the game, by the way. Down to the right, there is a W sign. I really love the fire elemental.

[04:55] That was a nice dragon, but they bailed. This guy also has the dragon. Wow, that you can buy on the auction house. What is going on? So many dragons. Sandrake. a new player. Actually, I don't know why, but I'm finding it really fun and

[05:10] people here in the city, even though I'm cosplaying as something that I am not, which kind of feels like I'm doing something wrong. Need anything else? Just write. Can you come back 1 second, please? This guy is really nice as well.

[05:24] I'm going to give him gold. Like that is just like he's willing to give me personal help. I hope he comes back. I don't know if this guy will come back, though, cuz I'm kind of sad if that guy doesn't come back cuz I really want to

[05:38] nice such a nice person and even wrote to me in whispers. Dungeon farming at level 10. Is that hard? No. Okay, how do I go to the dungeon? First, get to level 10. He says, "I'm doing quest with my brothers. Sorry."

[05:54] Okay, so that is sad. I wanted to award him, but now he's gone, so I guess I cannot do it, sadly. Oh, they are in the same guild, though. The author paladin sky wanted to show you something. He actually took his time and came back.

[06:07] I'm giving him 100,000 gold. So, I'm sorry I'm not actually a new experiment. I actually want to give this guy gold and I hope he can take gold cuz I I'm like super rich. I will tell him that. I'm super rich. I'm just saying

[06:21] I'm super rich. Really, I can't take them. I really want you to take them. This guy is just amazing. I don't know how to do it. Like I want to force him to take the gold, but I don't know how to do it. I'm telling him I have 33

[06:34] have. Maybe he can then feel justification to take it. How do you have so much money when you're new in the game? Oh, he did not read my message. So, I'm doing an experiment for a YouTube video. I'm actually not new in

[06:47] community acts on new players and you passed the test. So, hopefully, this person can take my gold. Please. You deserve it, Malderia. You deserve it. He

[06:59] cancels it. I don't know why. Maybe he thinks I'm sketchy or something. Some people do think that like they will get banned by taking gold and such. Okay, you feel bad. He said, "No, thanks. Good luck with it." So, just know you're an

[07:13] amazing person. Thanks, I take that in. That is good. I have a strange feeling about this guild cuz now everybody from this guild is here. And that is the nothing to do with it. Maybe it's just a large guild on Doomhammer. I'm thinking

[07:27] of actually asking someone something more annoying now. Like, can you fly me to Ironforge or something? Something that actually takes them some time to do, which is very hard for people to actually do or like guide me how to get

[07:41] there or something. Okay, so at least the person didn't feel bad because I lied to them, which is good. Damn, cool weapons. This guy looks awesome. Looks awesome. Holy. How can I get them? Sorry, I'm new. Another person targeting

[07:54] me. Thanks, Manaforge Omega. Okay, what is that? Raid. Okay, what level do I need to do that? Full? Okay, does it take long time to get to full level? Ooh, nice dragon.

[08:09] Thank you. No, did he fly away? No, he was such a nice guy. Who's this guy? I'm to say that me and my brother have made a free to play game on Steam. So, if you guys want to support me a lot, go ahead and try the game on Steam right now.

[08:25] It's called Cave Dude. Cave Dude is basically a clicker incremental type of game. It's really fun. Kill monsters, upgrade your weapon, train your pet, and even invest in stocks and crypto. So, please have a look at Cave Dude over on

[08:38] Steam. It is actually really fun. It's linked in the description below and I am now. This guy looks really cool. Hi, what are you doing? Just hanging around. My girlfriend go play wild now for the

[08:51] first time. She's Dutch, so I started Doomhammer. Okay, is this a Dutch server? Looking for Dutch friends for her. Okay, I'm new to the game. I assume Google this is one of the server more Dutch. Good to know. I'm Swedish. I'm

[09:04] from Spain. I like Spain. I also started playing not long ago because of my boyfriend. Nice. So, we can play together. That is cool. Can someone help me get to Ironforge? I see Ironforge on video. I love it. This guy seems to be

[09:18] living at the same place. But look at this, we just started a conversation and people is actually talking to each other here. I don't understand. Like I did not expect it to be like this. I can take you to Ironforge. Best DPS. I kind of

[09:31] want someone else to do it cuz I already gave this guy gold. Sugu, how do we get fast to high level? Just up level 10 and do dungeons. Is that fun? All who want can add me as a friend. That is amazing. This guy is such a cool guy as well.

[09:46] Like I thought I was going to go in, get a lot of rude players like being toxic towards me. I don't know why I thought that. Like people here is just friendly. I'm either getting ignored because people are like AFK or they're just

[09:59] probably in a rush or whatever or at least they're not being toxic or I just get people that is really talkative. People, nice to meet you. Please let me give you this guy 100k. Please take my gold. Please take my gold. I'm doing a

[10:13] social experiment for a YouTube video. I'm actually not a new player. I'm sorry. Don't need it. Make friends is better. Okay, if you give me the money, I give it to my girlfriend for her things then. Absolutely. What's your

[10:26] so like happy for this. I don't even know what to say. People are very talkative. People are very nice. I did not expect this as I said earlier and community is doing this. I don't know if I'm just lucky, if it's just because I'm

[10:40] in Stormwind, because I'm low level, whatever it is, but I am happy to see especially when you type that you're a new player. They seem to be very helpful. And I also need to keep that in mind so that I also pass this along of

[10:53] course and help people when they're asking me for help if I see that people are doing that. I gave away a total of 200k. I think we found enough people to talk with. I hope they got happy for the gold that they got and I am very, very
