Did arena today with Ladiesman’s alliance rogue, and we went 4-1 which was enough to get me cap for the week. Our only loss was a rshaman/DK match which, whatever I’d rather just log tbh.

Sometimes we win
It was Lag
It seems like this patch, more than any other I’ve noticed, people are coming into the new dungeons completely and ridiculously under geared. People with equipped ilevel 340, wearing mostly pvp blues, or a bunch of 316 pve blues. Today I even had a ret pally with NO glyphs, no gems, no enchants, and a mismash of blues and some epics, pulling 8k in Well of Eternity. The first boss took twice as long as usual and the Dk tank pointed out that the second one might not go well. I heaped a bit of abuse on the pally who said nothing the entire time, and we figured him/her as a bot and kicked them.
The hunter was in almost all pvp blues also doing 8k dps but was blaming it on “lag”. During the last fight in Well I pointed out that they died straight away to fire, and that their gear sucked ass, so lag was probably less of their issue than they figured. I got the usual “dude relax I’m trying to gear up” stuff. Well everyone wants to gear up, but what those people are doing is called “being carried”. I pounded out regular dungeons and bgs on my poorly geared shaman to swap out all my crap gear for at least 3 pc t12 and related pve epics. But dps have it a lot easier since you can do bad and be carried by the healer and tanks. A badly geared healer, just gets kicked out.
Rogue Luck
Today was AWFUL in the bg department, I think I went like 3/20. Of course it went faster because I would just rage quit on a clearly losing bg instead of wasting 20 mins just losing, and I don’t need the honor.
Later that night I ran into Ladiesman and his little rogue group of Yomomma and another one I forget, and we tangled a bunch after the battle since they were griefing people. Then apparently the rogue luck rubbed off, and went on to win a few bgs.
Satchels = Bad Groups
Did LFR today with a group of 9 other guildies.
went well, didn’t win anything again.
After that got addicted to running dungeons with the Exotic Satchel but it seems that usually ties me in with truly horrible groups. The first one had 3 people from the same server all doing about 8k dps. The Sylvanas fight took 6 minutes (normal is 2-3) and she was on her like, 4th round of ghoul chains. The mage from another server was doing 20k, arcane. The tank I could excuse but the rest, damn. I inspected the feral druid and they were rocking questing greens, non heroic blues, and not a single item enchanted or gemmed. We somehow managed to get her down, but the next one was Tyrande and there was no way in HELL I was going to do that boss for 10+ minutes and I told them a satchel wasn’t worth running with such bads and left.
The next group was another bad one, and it’s funny how many times I get killed by someone trying to avoid the trash before Baine. We had to use every last hourglass at the last boss too but made it. Was the satchel worth it though? No. Like someone in guild said though, it’s sort of addicting to get those satchels, and like trying to win the lottery. Usually you just end up with a worthless piece of paper.
