I was never that much into World of Warcraft, but some of my friends were absolutely crazy about it when it came out, playing it for many hours every day, and even waking up in the middle of the night just to go on scheduled raids etc. I heard many of their wartime stories, and one thing that I never fully understood was the drama revolving around need and greed loot mechanic. They told me how some people in their guild would get so upset with each other over the choices made there, that they would start hating on each other. But what was even funnier, was that some people managed to carry the drama over into real life. Like, they were friends who also played together, but after one such "incident", their friendship got shaken to the core. I don't know how often this happened, but I heard about it on multiple occasions back then, so I guess it was a thing. What other games had this amazing ability to make people lose their mind enough to break a friendship over it?
