OnlyFangs has carved out its legacy as the most viewed World of Warcraft (WoW) guild ever, but internal disputes continue to unfold, particularly surrounding controversial loot decisions that have drawn in popular streamers like summit1g.
For those unfamiliar, OnlyFangs operates as a streamer-exclusive guild within the demanding framework of Hardcore World of Warcraft. This variation intensifies gameplay, as players face the daunting rule of losing their characters after just one death, raising the stakes for every quest and raid.
Members of OnlyFangs are required to stream their gameplay live, which has led to a series of unexpected deaths and contentious moments broadcasted to viewers. One notorious incident occurred when the streamer Pirate Software abandoned his dungeon group, resulting in the untimely deaths of two party members in Dire Maul North.
Loot Controversy Sparks Division in OnlyFangs

The latest controversy centers around a guild member named Yamato, who plays as a Level 60 Undead character. In a scenario where guild members are vying for loot, Yamato found himself in a contentious situation involving other Undead players. When coveted loot dropped, he initially attempted to keep it for himself, but eventually relented under community pressure and distributed it among the group. This decision angered many within the guild, leading to a vote for his potential execution.
The vote was tightly contested, and it was agreed that Yamato could fight for his life in a duel, which he ultimately lost. This led to a high-stakes showdown in the Gurubashi Arena, where his character was left hanging by a thread. Thankfully, he received assistance from fellow guild members and survived; however, the fallout from the loot dispute ignited heated arguments among the guild members.
Prominent streamers summit1g and Tyler1 were particularly vocal about the situation, igniting a debate around WoW’s layering mechanics, which can significantly influence gameplay dynamics:
The discord among guild members deepened further with the departure of notable streamer Popsbarngrill, who left the guild seemingly as a reaction to Tyler1’s tumultuous leadership style. Mizkif weighed in on the situation during his stream, stating, “To be very blunt, I don’t think Pops was a fan of Tyler’s drama-heavy leadership. Pops preferred Chance to take the reins and felt that Tyler and Zeroji were responsible for his exit. He didn’t make a scene about leaving; he just quit and removed himself from the Discord.”
As the guild prepares for a scheduled raid on February 1, it will be critical for its members to address these conflicts and establish effective communication strategies if they hope to survive and progress together.
