I'm surprised Blizzard even bothered doing a restore. Why on earth would you share your password with her (or anyone) in the first place? I’m surprised Blizzard even bothered doing a restore.

The guy and his girl were arguing about a very serious subject, like where the fuck were they going to live after the lease. That's more serious than any game. Obviously not coming to a resolution in such an argument would frustrate the girl, but I don't agree with her pulling the plug on his toon. However, he got his toon back, so the deletion isn't an issue anymore, and he isn't even upset at his girlfriend. Maybe there is a reason she went that far. Maybe they get into arguments about other important issues, and he not exactly listening to her in those situations either. Maybe she felt she had to do it to get her point across. Maybe they both take immature jabs at each other. There aren't exactly more details on this because IT'S NO ONE'S BUSINESS. The guy was only asking people where to go to farm for new items to equip on his reinstated main, not how to deal with his girlfriend, who may have been justified in doing what she did. All he had to say was "My main got deleted but now that I have him back, my equips are gone. Where can I go to get some good equips?". That way idiot WoW players wouldn't go about spouting "dump the bitch!" comments when they don't know wtf is going on. I don’t agree with the “She’s a bitch.” part.

I wouldn't think someone is inherently "evil" or "a bitch" for deleting my character, but it seems to me like if you and/or your significant other have to resort to petty revenge jabs like that there's something in your relationship that you need to talk to each other about. But I'm no expert, so take that for what it's worth, which is probably nothing, but it made sense to me. I have to agree with the people who are against the girl, but not for the same reasons.

The stupid_free people imply that this drastic reaction was caused by the guy playing too much and in the throes of an addiction. If he's playing only two hours a day, that's not an addiction. That's a hobby that he's spending a bit of time on. A completely unrelated-to-Wow argument entails in which the girl deletes his character. Since it sounds unrelated to Wow, it sounds like she did it out of spite. Who was in the wrong? Hard to say... he doesn't say if he went overboard with the argument. He doesn't say if she did it just to be spiteful and mean. Maybe he did push her way too far and she lashed out. Relationships aren't perfect and with arguments it's never easy to know how the other person is going to react. That being said, what she did was pretty immature and spiteful. Some may say it's just pixels and a computer game, but the fact is it's his hobby and it belonged to *him*, not her. She had no right to go destroying something of his, whether it's material or virtual. Reacting in such a way to an argument shows that she didn't handle this situation appropriately. Is this worth dumping her over? Hard to say. If I was dating someone who messed with my stuff in retaliation, I would be assessing it and having a good old-fashioned sitdown talk about respect for property. If it was a fit of anger and didn't happen again, move on. If someone made a habit of doing shit like that, I'd be walking out. But I wouldn't be shrugging it off and ignoring it. I think the people who said "this is a warning sign of abusive behavior" are right... no, it's not a 100% indicator that it will turn that way, but it's a warning sign that I would be watching for and taking into account if other things cropped up. Here’s how I see it.

It's one of the "both sides are stupid" things: they're flinging insults at the girl that are wholly inappropriate to the crime, but, on the other hand, no one is questioning that it *did* happen. He could just be lying, the recent number of people being revealed as liars on the forums are proof enough of that. The woman's reaction is also wrong. Someone said that it wasn't an appropriate comparison to keying someone's car. Actually, it is. You still pay monthly, and, depending on the age of the character, they could have easily spent *over* 200$ on their account. Oh, lord, I remember reading this since I’m *on* the WoW LJ community.
