The 7 Steps of Backpedaling Denial

Jun16

Ran into Styxz, a rogue I first met in Crossroads. We dueled, I killed him repeatedly (Barn got in on it too). We gave him some tips—gear, gems, keybinds—but his coping process? Priceless.

Step 1:  Disbelief

Wow, can’t believe I just died to you.

Step 2:  Denial

I was lagging, I keep lagging.

Step 3:  Anger

You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?  This is probably the only time you can 1v1 anyone, isn’t it?

Step 4:  Bargaining

Hang on I’m going to change specs, then I’ll kill you just wait.

Step 5:  Guilt

I’m a clicker

Step 6: Depression

Ahh I can’t do this! I set up a keybind but I keep hitting the wrong skills!

Step 7: Acceptance and Hope

I’m going to practice this, and when I get better you’ll be dead faster than a raccoon on a highway at rush hour.

(No, I am not making this up)

Speaking of, prior to that I killed a druid who was stealthed in Halaa (yes 90), then killed a 90 DK, then killed a 90 hunter.  The other day I also killed a 90 warlock with a 90 holy paladin, some 6-7 times until they logged.  No lie.   They wouldn’t stop attacking Eastpoint Tower low level npcs!

I also killed a 90 hunter, and druid at a the Hellfire stadium tower prior to that.  Being rude to someone trying to help you out, isn’t very cool.

Don’t Tell Me What to Do

Jun13

For some reason dps think they can tell healers what to do in a battleground.  I’d prefer it if I didn’t have to guard a base with someone, but I will if it’s repeatedly getting hit and my healing keeps it defended.  I’m not your bitch, I’ll heal how I see fit.

This one, another player is telling others to kick me, because I was at FRR with a druid for a little bit.

I ran Heroic 25m Firelands with Barn and Traps (pretty funny hunter) the other day, and got these shoulders.  Now I regret not picking up the dagger weapon for when I get the heroic Alysrazor’s Razor, which has purple flames.

CHICKENS!  The roosters I dipped in the water to cool them down.  Randy Roosters! WoWScrnShot_060614_141648WoWScrnShot_060314_160953

And Wrathion would be a little more awe-inspiring if he didn’t look like a whelp.

 

Old Comments I Found

Jun11

There’s been a ton of discussion on the forums lately about boosted, or otherwise ‘lazy’ players coming into BGs in particular with green gear, unenchanted, ungemmed, etc.  I randomly came across this screenshot I took back when Scuba and Frostrated were talking about how they do “just fine dps” not bothering with any of that.

He took his hunter, Hunar, out of my Ally guild last week though. Good riddance, what a terrible person.

Queues have been wacky

Jun10

I banged out enough CP for my weapons the other day, by chaining some rbgs.  But Alliance random bg queues have been really random lately.  I waited 13 mins to randomly get into an IoC today, it went on for 30 mins or so and we lost.  Then I got a Twin Peaks where we were farmed at the GY from the START. I just left.   Then headed out to Outlands to kill a DK and warlock a few times with this warrior.

He did a little trick where he used a hearthstone, then cancelled it and shadowmelded, to look like he left.
