LiquidKnees: The way you're playing the game.. taking your time, enjoying it.. is the true way to play. When all the viewers were pushing them to go for Bowfa, the writing was on the wall.. they're skipping the game in favor of end game, but not realizing how much dedication it takes to reach it, while also completely skipping fun mid-game content.

Partiton3: RuneScape is a marathon, not a sprint.

bidseee: Shobek said he wanted to do 99 slayer cape untrimmed, chose to do the harder variant of CG by always doing melee etc. IMO he burnt himself out by trying to do everything different and constantly trying to take the more difficult approach.

thebotgod9795: OSRS chat: Don’t worry you never quit, only take breaks!

(Streamer “takes a break”)

OSRS chat: He was too soft for the grind, what a loser OMEGALUL

???

veenii5012: If you start with Ironman and you try to rush to "complete" it you are mental.

FSAPOJake: Shobek is taking a break.

Nobody should be expected to play and stream this game every single day. It's good to take breaks. I've played thousands upon thousands of hours in this game over 20 years and I regularly take breaks. I just come back when I feel the urge to play....which is frequently.

sander2723: These guys are rushing endgame content like they HAVE to reach it as first or second streamer of the WOW group. They should go back to basics and just try the content that they enjoy, and not what they think the viewers want to see from them. Looking at myself, content hopping between bosses like Doom/Corp and skilling goals is the way to go for me not to burn out.

ajap19: osrs is a HUGE marathon, no wonder they dont have fun when they sprint through the game and eventualy burn out

wallraven55: Iron man isn’t for everyone.

josephtuttle3345: Shobek built himself up “slayer cape this..zuk helm that…easy..” then quits and complains about a grind that 1% of people complete

trentpa9226: Nah, fuck this mentality that these wow streamers have nowadays. It's all speed run whenever and wherever they can. It's quite exhausting and annoying.

Justapure: Shobek streamed every day 10 hours a day it was bound to happen

fokosedits: I get the impressions most of the other wow streamers don't get that we watch them bc it is interesting to see someone play for the first time or that they are entertaining. I don't need to see a bowfa rush or high endgame content - there are plenty of other streamers - just enjoy the game and play it your pace and let us be part of it - dont rush it for content

mrguildwars392: The Truth is, Ironman isn't for everyone. and the community makes it sound like that if you're not playing ironman its waste of time to do anything. So all these streamers are having to do crazy grinds on iron before they can have fun and its burning them out. Wish people would just let them main

WholeBitThe: OSRS player cant comprehend that someone wants to play multiple games

AJack47: they need another grind that's not corrupted gauntlet. A alternate route

ace-walsall: OSRS Chatters are the worst cretins out there, almost pushing new streamer players to far with their over bearing "try this, do that, do this before that!" non stop, i hate it as a viewer.

Lwai.: brother threw his head at the cg wall with a 50% clear rate without trying to improve, no wonder its not fun

benjik3161: the problem is these wow streamers came out the gate like some vet making thier 5th hardcore its because you dont know yet how big this game is

vahn_legaia: I think for a first time playthrough, ironman is NOT the way. Especially if you wanna do PVP.

Stardrifter404: Its perfectly fine for people to take breaks from games. Its actually toxic if a game shackles you to it. Have fun playing games!

slow5speed: Him and sardicko went into it with the wow mindset of rush to endgame and do raids, that was their main mistake. Sardicko is next for sure.

TangerineMusic: I don’t like the OSRS endgame game that much. But I love the journey to it. I personally love the early game and building unique accounts.

25BH: OSRS is a cult lol

casinoscatter: For me, i really really love early game. And they skipped it all.

iamme725: A lot of the other streamers are taking an approach that osrs vets have been doing. Rushing cg and raids and everything. Getting the best content as fast as possible of course they’re going to burn out.

OUTOFSAND: You’re already gonna burn out naturally. Viewers can just amplify that.

(Edit: people do need to stop being weird about it though. They act like they don’t get burnt out and take breaks. I used to take breaks after playing for a couple months… only recently have I played for 2 years straight but that’s because I learned my limits and didn’t push myself to do things I don’t care about)
