OMG yer MMR

Ran RBGs with Yoshimara again last night, which took a good hour to form up. Then Dirtydk, who sounds like he’s 13 wouldn’t stop crying about how my mmr was low. Yeah sorry it was 0 last week and went to about 1300 in one night, and that’s the last time I did it. Our server doesn’t exactly run those often. They wanted people 1700+. We won EoTS, AB, and a WSG and I hit 1600 and got the Knight title. I must have heard bitching about my mmr and exactly how much it changed each fight 5x. In EotS Dirty also commented how I kept dying repeatedly. Yes, when you run to a base with 6 of the other team who actually know how to pvp, they will pound me into the ground and without peels I will die pretty instantly.

After that we lost a WSG when the dps failed to do much damage at all to the EFC (was watching via focus) even though 4 of their team cc’d me and the pally healer real hard and killed our FC. There was much “are you kidding me?” like there’s much you can do with chain stuns/fears, Emfh on CD, and the FC in a smoke bomb. We then went on to get 3 capped in Gilneas, I think a few people weren’t on vent and not calling anything was most of the reason we lost, and half the raid raged and cursed and left, laying all the blame on the raid leader, like they shouldn’t be looking around at the situation and making their own decisions. I do feel stupid that I was at LH with a warlock, and I SHOULD HAVE stayed, but they told me to go, then LH got capped shortly after. Sigh.

After that I got picked up for a heroic 25m LK kill and got my token, so I have the pretty heroic sanctified alcolye robes now, was very happy about that. I brought my set with just to prove I wasn’t wasting a token, since you MUST have the 10.5 version to even use the tokens. I prefer how tokens in wrath worked; you can choose what item to upgrade and it’s not set as a head, gloves, etc piece.

Dude stfu

Ran DS last night on my shaman, could not get Blackhorn down, and the annoying pally was with us. I think he just likes to hear himself talk, even after it’s been said, many times that the only alchemist is Lila on her alt, he asks if we have an alchemist, then asks if anyone has conc pots, which we’ve never had, then hearths to the AH and buys some. He’s also one of the first healers in as long as I can remember who insists on a role check even though he SHOULD know what everyone is doing, then asks for the main tank even though we know that’s always Cinor. On the 3rd boss last night he started randomly asking how to do mouse over macros and asked Shift to paste it in vent, but of course we were like, could you do this SOME OTHER TIME please????

For what feels like the 3rd week in a row, no loot dropped I could even roll on.

AngelicGuard

We did Spine last night and got it, tried Madness but it didn’t work out.  I found it a little amusing that Angelic, who everyone basically dislikes a bit, didn’t have a flask, food, didn’t have conc pots he kept asking for, and did not even have repair money. This is important for later.

Last night I got in on a group led by that pain in the ass paladin, Angelicguard.  He made me go to the clocktower for inspection even though we’ve ran together before, and I’m in 4pc t13 and 392 ilevel. We wiped once when Angelic wiped us because he went “white screen” wiped again when the priest died and it was unrecoverable from a healing stand point, then we took a break for 8 minutes that stretched into around 30 while he brought in his friend a DK, then punted the guy the second Lila logged in.  He’s crushing on her hard, I thought it was pretty funny.

During this Angelic was offering to buy a flask from someone, and pay for the mats for a cauldron.  It’s like whoa wait, you were 100% broke last night, what happened?  It was good to get it down, and I ended up respec’ing to take Telluric Currents because this guy was like omg its so op omg and then kept commenting on how, because of him, I kept up my mp so well. I think that had more to do with dropping mana tide every platform and people not taking unnecessary damage, but whatever.  This guy seems like a control freak, repeatedly saying things like “don’t you dare open that chest” or “don’t do hero until I say” over and over, etc. Then after saying we’d never bring him again, Lila invited him and all his alts to guild. Sigh. Jynx is gonna love that.

Why so bad?

A lot of times in randoms if I see someone doing terrible dps I’ll pull up their armory and see what’s up. I can kind of see not enchanting gear when you know you will replace it soon (outside of raiding). I don’t understand leaving gem sockets bare, when the crap gems are better than nothing and cost like 5g each. Today I inspected a ret pally with NO GLYPHS, besides the usual no enchants and no gems. Not a single one. How the hell do you get up to level 85 and not bother looking up, AT SOME POINT, what glyphs to use?

RBGs

Did not get the Love Rocket on any of my 3 chars this year. Siiigh.

Got picked up for RBGs last night by Ilikeanimals and per typical groups, it took about an hour to get going and we lost very badly on AB. It took forever to reform, this time Ilike left and Yoshimara took over leading.  We went on to win like, 5 in a row before we quit around midnight. I went from 0 rating since I hadn’t done any yet this season to 1150.  I’d like to hit 1700 since my last highest was 1600.  That of course got me cap, which is nice because I was wondering who the hell I was gonna cap with this week.
