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.

Salary Capped

Been on my horde priest a lot, mostly pvping.  I got a  Tyran robe on my horde priest from winning bgs and last night I did 2’s with Sealgaer. Remember I use to do 2’s with Ultrabomber? Yeah.  Night and day.

It was more fun than running with Shock for some reason, I think because I prefer being partnered with a range.  He did a good job keeping in my LoS and providing a lot of peels as well.  I have a hard time doing that with melee for whatever reason. It’s nice to play with a hunter that doesn’t just let me try to tank everything with no help.  Was quite fun!

Last night I got an invite to a pvp guild by Oromis:

horde9

He mentioned that they would pull me in immediately since he already saw me heal in bgs when I was undergeared.  Hm.  I like the people in Frats guild, but I don’t think they are pvpers.  Not sure if I’ll switch though but it would be nice.  Might give it a shot and maybe get a little more rating than I’ve had before.

It Went Badly

Tried the new LFR, and we didn’t get anything down, but gosh Blizzard.  Oooooh, thanks for creeping up the creepiest mob this expansion some more.
