What is Monkeyfied and How Does it Affect Gamers?

Monkeyfied is a slang term that originated in the gaming community, particularly among players of the popular video game "World of Warcraft." It is used to describe something that has been deliberately made difficult or confusing by the game's developers, often as a form of punishment for players who are deemed to be too powerful or successful.

The term is derived from the idea that the game's designers have "monkeyed" with the game's mechanics, making them more complicated or challenging than necessary. The implication is that the changes were made in a way that is frustrating or counterintuitive, much like a mischievous monkey might deliberately make things difficult for no good reason.

In general, the term "monkeyfied" is used to describe any situation where someone or something has been intentionally made more complicated or difficult than necessary, often as a form of punishment or to make life harder for others.
