(28/04-2026) – Here we are again for a new round of The Most Stupid Ganker of the Year. This time covering March and April. Life happened, so I did not have quite as much time as usual to clean up the server.
First, let’s take a look at our distinguished contestants. The number in parentheses is how many times I killed them, which, as you will see, some of them generously helped inflate.
Alliance: Aoox (1), Caisilius (2), Catfapfever (1), Darkmare (1) (disappeared), Gringero (6), Ilillilliil (3), Khalys (2), Katheywalker (3), Krymiinator (5), Lilhex (2), Mupko (1) (disappeared), Nefarya (1), Oltam (3), Omyen (1), Pitux (5), Pojar (1), Psheroo (1), Purechocolat (4), Redsonja (4), Rippercrow (2), Shadowswap (4), Shankinyou (1), Sivigen (3), Siviticu (36), Svrsgodx (4), Topsecret (2), Toastytoast (9), Trajik (1), Vitalievich (6).
Horde: Alisaidi (5), Bravemage (1), Ebigi (3), Euphyacia (7), Exformc (1), Oniuns (1) (disappeared), Oronhil (3), Ratto (1), Rogallyx (1), Rycs (1), Sanwen (13), Skyzee (1), Smartidiot (3), Solimorea (3), Titaes (4), Tonydoido (1), Zucc (27).
As usual, Alliance dominates the ganking scene, and Freewind Post remains the natural habitat of low effort predators. So no, it is not a coincidence if the podium leans blue.
Third place – Dunce – Purechocolat
Here we have a mage proudly wearing the title of Challenger since March 13th, and somehow deciding that qualifies him to farm level 15 to 25 players in Crossroads.
The “challenge” part of his title finally became relevant when he met my rogue. Unfortunately for him, the challenge was far beyond his abilities. He died repeatedly and learned absolutely nothing.
After that humiliation, he relocated his “PvP expertise” to Borean Tundra, Warsong Hold, targeting level 68 players who, in his mind, might be slightly less embarrassing to fail against.
That did not go any better. He ran into my warlock, then my Death Knight, and the outcome remained identical.
I have not seen him since. I assume he is currently testing his skills on NPCs, where the risk level is more appropriate.
Second place – Moron – Alisaidi and Euphyacia
Alisaidi and Euphyacia. Two paladins. Lakeshire.
At that point, expectations are already low, and they still managed to underperform.
They were not particularly geared, they misused most of their abilities, and they could not even kill a flight master before I arrived and removed them from the area.
In poker, there is a concept called “tilt”. It is when a player completely loses composure and starts playing in a way that accelerates their own defeat.
These two did not just tilt. They committed to it.
They kept resurrecting, running back, and getting deleted in two or three hits, over and over again, as if they had set themselves a goal to lose as efficiently as possible. At some point, it genuinely looked like a personal challenge. Survive more than one global cooldown.
They did manage to kill a level 15 questgiver once before I got there. That seemed to be their peak performance. Low level players, however, were apparently still too much.
Their real contribution was providing me with honor.
So, thank you for your service.
Dishonorable Mentions
Ilillilliil: Tried to gank Freewind Post. Bad player, worse name. It looks like someone fell asleep on the keyboard, which would also explain the gameplay.
Shadowswap: Rogue. Freewind Post, obviously. Extremely easy to kill. His entire strategy consists of dying, staying down, calling a friend, briefly existing as a duo, then going back to being farmed alone. Repeat indefinitely. He still has not identified the problem.
Katheywalker and Gringero: The famous one button shaman and two button priest. Requires traps, setups, and favorable conditions just to attempt something. Already covered in a dedicated article (The Art of Losing with Preparation). Still as unimpressive as ever.
Psheroo: Met at Freewind Post. Of course. Killed once on March 28th, added to the watchlist, logged off immediately. By March 29th, the character was deleted. Some players do not handle reality very well.
Toastytoast: A recurring entry. Never improves, never learns. Occasionally shows up in Warsong Hold, but immediately flies away if he sees my paladin. When he does not, he dies easily, resurrects, comes back on his mount, emotes “chicken” or “laugh,” and leaves again. At this point, it is not even PvP. It is performance art.
First place – Imbecile – Vitalievich
Death Knight.
A remarkable specimen.
Not particularly geared, not particularly skilled, but impressively consistent in making the worst possible decisions at every stage.
At one point, he attempted to gank and used Death Grip on a low level player.
That player survived.
Vitalievich did not.
Later, he came back with a warlock friend, Sivigen. At that point, I switched to my Death Knight.
I engaged the warlock first. While I was killing him, Vitalievich was behind me, hitting me, doing his absolute best to be noticed.
He was not.
I finished the warlock without any issue, then turned around.
“You!”, I said!
I killed him just as easily.
After that, Sivigen understood the situation and left.
Vitalievich did not.
He came back alone. I switched back to my rogue.
Same result.
At that point, even he finally understood.
That is it for March and April.
If you insist on ruining the game for others, at least understand what you are signing up for. Being exposed, repeatedly, as exactly what you are. See you next month. (Sylnera)
