Darkest

Did RBGS last night and got easy cap on my ally priest, my druid, but the horde side was harder. Took forever to get going, and lost miserably on all three maps. So, did not cap that char.

And Oromis told me he had a rogue named Darkest, and I finally found the entry for that (Wed Jul 20, 2011 8:15 pm)

Knew I remembered him from somewhere.

Sometimes I Have to be Mean

I posted on the guild forums that I did not want to raid next week. Dor needing on and winning a ring that someone else really could have used, after winning a thunder forged weapon and several other pieces is driving me up the wall. This is in addition to him screwing up constantly and enough is enough. I don’t like him as a co-heals and raiding is just pissing me off in this situation.

Cruc lead guild rbgs on Thurs and I know a few people were there that don’t pvp or don’t like pvp. We did win one though. I brought Shock with and he ended up asking if Fel was trolling. Why you ask? Well whenever a queue pops, or he dies and releases, he’ll lose connection and then can’t get back in for several minutes. This happened once and we had to 9m AB. Then it happened again and we had to 9m another. This does look a lot like trolling when after the 2nd try the person is still ‘damn ya’ll I didn’t get in AGAIN’. But when he asked to try a third time I had enough and said something in vent like “look you made us be down a man TWO TIMES already I think that’s plenty” and he said “fine I’ll just log”. I personally would be mortified if I did that once much less twice.

Shock left after 2 of them I think it was. Said our hunter was horrible, the rogue was just standing in one place and spamming fan of knives, no one was really calling out anything, etc. I know it’s supposed to be fun and losing for points but when it’s epic terrible it ruins it.

Lose to Cap

Ever since I looked up what “TL;DR” mean I thought holy shit, how stupid are people becoming? I can see TLDRing a book, for instance. But a small paragraph or two?

This has come to my attention pretty fiercely after using the oqueue add-ons, which is lovely in itself, by the way. I got 2200 cap on my ally priest and horde priest this week with it. But fuck, seriously.

The groups have labels on them, such as “losing for cap”. This typically also means “no vent” because we’re losing to get cap. Why do you need vent to lose? You don’t. Since the last time I did rbgs, which was some time ago, it was changed so that you can get points if you made effort. Such as capping a base in Gilneas, getting some carts in Mines, etc. Even if you don’t win, you may still make out with 100 cp. That’s not too bad. Wins are better of course, but can be more stressful.

The stupid people really abound in these though. They join and “so we’re going to try right?”. Well, it’s LOSING TO CAP. So, try enough to get points, but not trying to win. They leave because they want to win. L2R.

Or some are even labeled “Losing RBGs no vent”. They get in, ask if there is vent, when the leader says no they leave. Derp. I even joined one tonight where the priest I joined asked if I was leading. I said um no, I joined YOUR oqueue ‘lose to cap group’. “I didn’t even start one” they said. Siigh. And this is like, 2-3 people PER GROUP doing this.

Oondasta

We did ToT tues/thurs and got Council down and Tortos. Nothing dropped for me. Got nothing off Nalak and Alliance fails so hard on Oondasta repeatedly I don’t usually bother.

Bought my Tyrannical staff last night, after getting like 10 bg wins in one day. Ugh that was frustrating. Going to try to get 2200 cap every week with Oqueue now though, including on my druid, who I love to pvp with. Stealth is so awesome it’s not even funny.

You GIVE IT NAO

Been pvping a lot lately, so I have a few things to catch up on. Been doing 2’s with Shockblocker (enhance shaman) and 2 Tyrannical pieces so far with another this week if I ever cap. We did not do normal ToT again this week, only MV and ToES and LFR. I got a normal shoulder token and a new belt. I almost lost the shoulder token to the pug paladin but she let me have it. I honestly would have refused to give it up otherwise though. I’m tired of winning loot and having someone roll late and being asked to hand it over to a pug. NO.
