Sorry, Glorbo isn't coming to World of Warcraft, but you already knew that, didn't you
eurogamer.netAre you eagerly anticipating Glorbo's introduction in World of Warcraft? No, you're not? Why is that?
Ooh, is it because it's a load of rubbish made up to eke out websites that are, in fact, using AI bots in place of real-life human reporters? Ah, I thought so!

«Feel free to comment below what features and stories you want to see in the future! Maybe you'll be quoted on some trustworthy news websites as well!»

The article has since been pulled, however you can see an archived version of it here.
