Must be bots, no one is this bad

Feb28

Spent some time fishing up at least 50 eels in TB, and random fish for myself, and Shipwreck debris pools.  I love those pools.

Later I ran into Ladiesman and helped transfer some stuff on the AH.

This was just a cuddly looking /afk placement while waiting on the AH money to come through.

Ran some battlegrounds and we did awful beyond belief, and I really think everyone must be afk or botting because I have a hard time believing anyone plays that stupid.  I decided to gear up my mage for pvp, since I have no desire to do giant queues to gear up for PVE.  I ran some arena with the rogue on the alliance side, and won 5 games.  Some of them weren’t pretty, but I am a little rusty on the mage, and still wearing mostly tailoring entry level pvp items.

After that we ran some battlegrounds and I got at least one win.  It’s going to be a hard grind for gear as alliance, that’s for sure.

Rocket in my.. wait what

Feb27

Yesterday ran a bunch of bgs, and won, 2 I think.  Ran a few with Ladiesman’s alliance rogue, and he got the achievement for capturing a flag.  There was a lot of yelling by a druid saying they had more healing than anyone, and I snapped that I ran the flag with 3 carriers so far and didn’t see them once, so shut up.  Later I was brought in to heal when Leonz had to go for Cho’gall, and got to third phase a few times but it got called around midnight.

Did arena with Pauldie, did quite well though the first fight I went down so fast, I’m not even sure what happened.  Maxed out the points quickly with wins, and got my Vicious robe.  After that ran a TB which we won, but totally didn’t feel like doing the TB dailies.  I bought  a trinket, the drake, the horse, and totally not up for more dailies right now.

This just made me laugh:

And I’m a little confused as to why holy healers go into chakra for Sanctuary in  battlegrounds. You light up like a xmas tree, for one thing, and you lose stun if in anything but chastise, which is probably unlikely anyone is using. Shrug!  I make good use of that, repeatedly, and since I didn’t take archangel, I have no reason to go into a chakra.  Plus, I don’t like being highlighted as a healer more than I need to be.  I noticed this in the last TB fight too.

After the battle, we go back on the boat and sit down.  So, this was a little funny actually, I didn’t die the whole TB battle before this, and I went up to South Spire to wait out my flagged status.  Well we were messing around trying to kill each other but not really, since I have nothing to kill a rogue anyway, when a disc priest comes up on the fight.  They start assisting me so naturally I have to behave myself and start really stunning/fearing, and I save the disc priest from almost death by throwing a Guardian Spirit at the right time.  We chase back over the bridge, where a hunter and a mage horde, I think, join in and try to kill me.  I survive to the guards but at that point, after about 5 mins of fighting I go OOM and die, but the guards kill both horde.

We got back to being civil about it on the boat XD

And later I get to try Jan’s new ROCKET!

Then the Atramedes fight did not go so well, we started out around 9 trying to find people, had people new to the fight, new to their spec, etc.  We did not get it.

EotS went.. well?

Feb25

Lot of pvp today, 2 wins, tons of losses, like horrible, horrible, what the hell are you guys doing losses.  I seriously am starting to think Alliance just logs in and walks away from battlegrounds.   No one can play that bad, unless it was purposeful.  Seriously!!

Though I did one EotS and paired up with a rogue named Dblkick and together we beat down all the horde that straggled into Blood Elf Tower. I was impressed.  I run far far too many battles where I run up on someone, heal and assist on the fight, and they run away the second the horde turns on me (yes, paladin Drum, looking at you).

Got down how to jump from the hill between Alliance camps in TB to the boat, and ended up spending like, 2 hours there chatting with Ladiesman, going back and forth on how to say things in broken Orcish and made it readable in common and vice versa.  I had wanted to test this before, but, we did it today, and it seems you have to break up words smaller for it to make sense.  Like Aa bc t r k might mean something but come out like I lo ve y ou.

At night, since I can’t raid tomorrow, I spent all night pvping and maxed honor for the second time today.  I was going to queue for a random but pugging it pretty much sucks, so I don’t.  I went and bought the spectral Baradins mount too, even if I prefer to ride my cat.

Playing with my rogue

Feb24

Did the majority of my TB dailies today with Leonz, and ran a few battles, most of which went horrible wrong.  People yelling things like “hold hold” when we had 2 bases, and absolutely no one at the 3rd, like they don’t know how to read the map.  I comment about such and receive at least one “lol” in a pm from someone, and giggle over our failsauceness with Peejay, a paladin I ran dailies with the other day.

I figure out how to hop onto the boat like Ladiesman does and, after repeatedly stunning him, mid air on his bike, take some practice shots.   Could never seem to get one when I did it in the heat of the moment (and yes you stay stunned, in the air!)

Later I do a few bgs, and get a HORRIBLE AV where no one appears to know how to do anything, I run up to Tower Point by myself and dance with what else, a blood elf paladin for so long he starts /wave-ing back to me.  A DK joins me and we fight for like 5 minutes with no one else showing up.  Eventually a third alliance shows up and we kill the guy, but we get rushed by horde and cleared out of the tower.  Lose that miserably.

The next one was Strand, and 3 people including myself tell people what to do, and we do it, and win.  I decide not to push my luck and just stop for now.

Crushing Defeats in Tol Barad

Feb24

Yesterday we had some crushing defeats at TB, but one win so I got the pvp dailies done. Also ran a few bgs but the only win was a sweep in EotS, which shocked all involved. 4 bases and 1600 points, couldn’t believe it.

At night I ran with the second group again and we got down the golem bosses, but wiped repeatedly on Maloriak, and spent a good deal of time just standing around figuring out who needed to do what. The tank went offline in the middle of a very good attempt, and never came back. We brought in Dpunisher, who I see in TB a lot, for one attempt, but after that several of us had to go. It would be helpful for new people demanding to be in raids to experience a full night of wipe attempts, on multiple nights, to understand EXACTLY why you can’t just throw a group together and succeed.
