A WoW-related topic:

Listen up, little noobs. I am a nice person. I am nice to a fault. When people beg me for stuff, I give it to them because I sincerely hope that they will then become better little noobs, or that they will eventually pay me back for whatever favor or amount of gold I have given them!

And I've had pretty good luck with that so far. In my two-plus years of playing, I've been lending people stuff from the very beginning (I had a blessed childhood, never holding less than ten gold in my Change Purse of Awesome*), and I've never had a real problem with people not paying me back. I like to think it was because people are just good people, but really it was probably because they were just good enough to not take advantage of a sweet little femtroll huntard.

Anywho, this all has a point!

I have a, uhm, sorta kinda friend. He is a troll hunter that I met when leveling my shammy alt Tealla. He was in need of some serious help back then (and still does need help), so I was nice and helped him pick a pet and fix his spec up. Then (and this was my big mistake) I got on Gal and I ran him through RFC so I could teach him what drops were good for him and which weren't (STR gear is a no no!). Alrighty, cool, I made a new friend.

However, this was months ago! I expected him to grow up and forget all about the chick who helped him learn not to be an idiot. But nooooo. To this day I still get whispers from him asking me to run him through stuff and just telling me random things he's done. Omg you got a mount? Great, now stop bugging me.

What's worse is that I once again agreed to run him through something, this time SM. He was way too low, so I shouldn't have taken him, but a guildie needed to go, too, so fine, why not.

Do you know how many times he died? I just stopped trying.

After that was over I thought stuff would go back to normal. I logged and went on an alt to hide from him (seriously, isn't 3/4 wings of SM enough?!).

Apparently not, because the guildie I had helped dinged 70 the next week (yeah I am serious) and told me that the hunter had been bugging him every time he logged on for runs through stuff. And now when I log on he introduces his little friends to me. He's probably told them how nice I am and how willing I am to run noobs through stuff.

You'd think I'd learn my lesson, right?

Yesterday a level eleven orc warrior whispers me and asks me really nicely if I'd mind running him through RFC. I hesitate, but then he tells me that people say he's too low to be in their groups. Granted, he is too low. He can't go into LFG yet and he can't be summoned or use the summoning stone. But I've been there, you know? I've been healing RFC on Bloofish since he was level ten. I finally agree and he invites me to a group. There's a druid in the group, too, who turns out to be a really cool guy. I get on an alt to summon the druid and we beat RFC into a pulp.

After the run, they thank me profusely, and then let me go on my way. What is great is that I don't ever expect to hear back from them again. I helped them out, they were appreciative, now they'll leave me alone. How great is that?!

So, dear nooblings, I'd love to help you, lend you money, teach you how to play, tell you what addon makes my pet talk, or run you through an instance if I have time.

But please, treat me with respect afterwards. Thanks is all I need. I never need to hear from you again. I had fun while we were together, but enough is enough. Good luck, happy questing, see you when you are 70.

Some Coolness Some Badness

This weekend I got to go see this! Yes, the MLG thing! Cause my friend (a Night Elf resto druid)
was competing in it. It was awesome. I went with friends and had a really good time watching, even though the druid lost to SK and some other really great teams. I got to see Nielyo and Spoh. And omgsh their computers were getting something like 300 fps.

In other news Gal is 69, Nachos is 69, and S4 comes out a couple days after my birthday.

Also Horde WSG and AB and EotS in the 60-69 bracket sucks so hard right now. What happened? It's like, as soon as I level capped for that bracket people started sucking. Shammy and I were gonna do a quick round of WSG to get the daily done yesterday, but he bailed five minutes in and I ended up leading us through over an hour and a half of stalemate. It was about an hour of 1 - 1 with me and a really awesome mage on our D vs. their entire team on D. When our D broke (mage had gone North to see what he could do, so I was left with the noobs) Alliance scored. Then magefriend scored for us. Another half hour of 2 - 2 and finally our team zerged and got pummeled by their 9 hunters and 1 druid. That was my third try at WSG yesterday and we lost horrendously each time.

Today the daily is EotS, but the queues were so long I gave up and did AB. Another loss.

Also I gotta say that being a lowbie sucks. I have this low level rogue who was my second or third character on NZ after Gal. I really thought I'd delete her by now so she had almost no gear and no weapons. I had a random urge to play her, so I decided to do some RFC. Yeah, three really really bad RFCs in a row, with really really bad hunters and attitude-whore paladins and people leaving right in the middle of it all. Really it was a free-for-all since the tanks couldn't keep aggro and I was running all over the place after the mobs chasing the mages and locks around.

And, yes. It's called autoshot. No, it's not a problem with your gun. Yes, you have control over it. Heal your own damn pet. No, hunters don't need strength more than any other stat. And no, I don't have any meat for you or ipwnnoobs.

Bloo's Blues

Meh so I been only leveling Gal, which is good. Or mostly, I have been running errands on her, lol. I also started PvPing with Zocks again, which feels so good! Even at 26 with super bad gear he kicks butt! And he loves kiting warriors.

This is my PvP kill order:

Night Elf hunters first.

Then warriors.

Then paladins (I love taking them down on Gal especially).

Then other hunters and druids.

Then squishies (i.e. mages and priests).

Then warlocks.

Then rogues.

Anyways, after quite a bit of PvPing on witty Gal and agile Zocks, I decided to level Bloofish, mostly cause my guild was bemoaning the lack of healers for Kara. They want a holy priest, so I volunteered.

Anywho, logged on as a level 4, immediately made friends with a warrior. We quested from 5 to 8 and had a lot of fun. It was pretty fast, even though it actually took like three hours (at least). I am loving Bloo very much. The only thing is that he makes me feel like such a lazy geek. It's that 400 pound 45-year-old woman syndrom. Maybe cause Gal and Zocks and even my belfs are all way more active and fit, and Bloo has other folks to fight for him. Who knows. Anyways, he is a skinny weakling, and we wish he was a girl, but we loves him anyways. His face is just too pretty.

O.M.G. Has No Meaning Like Lag

So I've got some stuff to talk about, or rather, frustrations to vent about. And then I have some technical stuff that I will talk about in the next post, more specifically, a lowbie instance run schedule for the rest of December. But I will get to that in a minute.

Well I was going to just not play this weekend so that I could study. I thought I would be able to resist if I played for an hour or so Saturday night....

So Z and I get in the car and go to a game place near school that we attend on occasion. They have really nice gaming PCs with all the works: leather swivel chairs, plasma screen tvs that ring the room, black-light, super mouses, and access to all the games you know and love.

We log in and decide to run Scarlet Monastery on Gal and Z's War Party alt, just for fun and some nice loot for him. Now, Z's alt is only twenty six or so, so he was still a little low for SM, which meant the aggro radius was a little crazy, but we cleared most of the Library up to the final boss. At that point he pulled the entire last chamber, but it was late anyways, so we camped and went home. No biggie. Died once. Was pretty fun. Made a gold or two to spend on ammo for a few days.

So today it turned out my thirst for WoW had not been sated. In fact, it had doubled. I log in around eleven and find myself at the summoning stone for SM. There's this little shaman orc standing there. I think he's probably afraid of the ally sitting next to him, so he's hovering next to the stone to look as if he has more henchmen coming.

He whispers me.

"Hey, want to party with me?"

Or something of the like. I hesitate, knowing I should be studying. Plus, what will I get out of it? I guess I can auction off whatever I get, but my inventory is full. Well that's a quick fix, too, so why not?

Against my better judgement I accept and tell him I need to run to UC. He's still quivering about the ally (who was actually rather nice), and wants to gank him.

Badly.

I just stand around, telling him I need to sell I need to sell!

Anyways, after about a half hour we hit up SM having killed two whole parties of allies and gained another party member. Nice druid, plays a tank as his main, but is a healer at heart. He knew his stuff, and it was very nice to see damage and threat metres at such a low level. Gotta appreciate the threat metre, especially. Plus he was a pet healer. How good can it get? I can't wait to party with him again. But I digress.

Anywho, we run Cathedral with no incidents really. We plan on running Library, but I actually do need to sell this time and stock up on ammo, so we all run to UC. This is where it gets hairy.

The lag gets so bad, it takes me a full hour to run errands in UC. Then, attempting to get off the elevator, it dc's me—FOUR TIMES! I mean, I knew I should have given up, but it was so frustrating! Plus it takes me at least ten minutes to log in each time—also frustrating.

It's lagging as I speak. It's going to take me forever to write this up!

Anyways, I finally survive UC and my peeps have abandoned me for whatever. The shammy hits me up later for a run through Armoury, that got a tad hairy, but we did it. Oh, there was some random hunter dude in the mix there, but dunno what happened to him.

So I wasted most of my much-needed studying time on Scarlet Monastery with lowbies. Great.

Which leads me to the conclusion that I should start charging.



Oh, and I forgot: I named my wolf upon the druid's suggestion of Sebastian, but then accidentally typed Sabastian. Story of my life.
