First time i've seen this other than on my own upload way back in 2007 :v:

Also, i'm pretty sure i've seen a news article about this a few months ago - i didn't expect this guy to really pull it off :suicide:
I don't really see this as an achievement because it's so trivial. I mean you literally don't have to do anything but the same thing over and over again. Congratulations on effectively wasting half a years worth of time I guess?
Man blizzard should just tp this guy out with him being neutral.

I can already foresee him crashing entire servers thanks to his natural stance and that a lot of quests are side-specific so that the server just does not recognize him. :v:

Did you read the article?
This guy got to 90, not choosing a faction, stuck on a level 10 island, doing no quests, only leveling via herbalism, and mining.

Perseverance is definitely a virtue.

I don't play WoW but
[B]WOW[/B] alright sounds even more crazy

Y'know some people value things differently in the world than you do, bud.
He just used a bot/macro. Still a very cool achievement.
Last time I played WoW, I remember that you needed like 9mil xp around level 85ish
he was getting 20 and 30xp per node.
the fuck

Claims like this are pretty hilarious without any proof.
I remember how hard it was to get to 80, can't believe a guy got this high just by farming.

Especially considering he fucking streamed it, yeah.

No he didn't, a bot would get you banned.

lots and lots of zen meditation
i bet he's a wise sage by this point
Jesus Christ, 4164 hours to get to 90? I don't even think I have that many hours total, and I've played [I]a lot[/I].
Not sure if this would have worked but wouldn't Recruit-A-Friend give him triple xp from gathering as well?
(Also not sure if he did RaF)
[QUOTE=MatheusMCardoso;45185080]He just used a bot/macro. Still a very cool achievement.[/QUOTE]
can't do that in WoW without being banned pretty quickly, also you can't really macro herbalism or mining
[QUOTE=kenji;45185508]Especially considering he fucking streamed it, yeah.[/QUOTE]
Nothing stops you from only streaming the last part of it. Not that I think he botted it, just that this isn't exactly a valid line of reasoning.
I had a chat with this guy last week. He's pretty cool, I didn't even know that this was possible until I actually saw him ingame.
damn this guy has an iron will to be able to persevere like that
Reminds me of that one south park episode honestly.

Hahahah are you kidding? The most used bot (honorbuddy) had over 500k subs at one point. Play PVP and there's loads of bots. I botted 3 characters all PVP for weeks straight and I've never been banned once.

I don't get these posts. If he was doing something that was challenging and actually useful then I'd agree.

I don't play WoW but (this goes for pretty much everything) if you're doing high profile things you're going to get noticed. The chances are people were reporting him after they observed him running around in a starter area as level 50.
Sounds like somebody is incredibly jealous and is trying to lessen the value of the achievements of another person. You may not be dedicated enough to do what he did, but that doesn't mean that he used a bot or something. Such a childish reaction.
[editline]haha[/editline]
I guess doing something like folding a load of origami things or writing out an entire book isn't an achievement. The literal definition of achievement is to do something successfully with effort and/or skill. Running around clicking things for 1000+ hours requires effort. There may not be much skill involved, but that doesn't matter.
Anarchy Online used to try and goad you into picking a side, but over the years remaining neutral became such a big thing that they actually added content and gear specifically for neutrals. I don't get why Blizzard didn't just make some content for people who actually want to be neutral. I may not play WoW but imagine seeing the conflict from the eyes of someone undecided could make for something interesting.
