Crafting is Hard

Apr26

On Wed we wiped all night on the heads boss even with 4 healers. Dor died a bunch to the same mechanic at the end too, the ice beam things. Sigh.

And this hasn’t happened in a while but I remember why I never respond to requests in trade for crafting. This hunter wanted a tailor with the imbued netherweave bag pattern. Why you’d want that bag with frostweave, embersilk so easily available, I don’t know, but I figured maybe they just had all the mats and figured why not.

So I switched to my mage and linked the rec. Like clockwork they replied that the had the silk and some bolts. The bags take more than that. The imbued bolts require dust, the bags require planar stuff. They were like “so can you make a few?”. I said you actually have to HAVE the mats, to make the bags. They asked me to link the imbued bolt and I did, then asked how to make the planar essence. I said it was from DEing and after a while they stopped responding and I logged back to my druid.

Then I see “looking for someone who can make imbued netherweave bags I have all the mats”. I replied “2 mins ago you didn’t”. They stopped spamming trade after that. I don’t get how crafting is THAT HARD.

I met a new warrior, whose name escapes me at the moment, when I was being sassy in trade chat. We talked for a while and they said they don’t pvp and hate it, but needed wins in Kotmogu and Silvershard. We added as friends. It took maybe 5 tries to get Kotmogu, but we ran SSM for at least 2 hours and did not get one win. The best part was one of the battles everyone just chilled at the starting point, then the next one after it was clear we were going to lose, I started dancing after respawning. Some hunter said to report me afk and I said “go ahead I don’t give a shit we lose this 100% of the time anyway”. I got called a ‘dick’ and thrown out. Oh well.

Being a Loot Whore

Apr24

Ran ToT last night but didn’t start until after 10 because Angie was late, but she told us about that, and Ran logged off prior to raid and never came back. We had to wait around for a pug. We cleared up to Tortos but the only thing that dropped I could roll on was a spirit ring, which Dor won and kept. Even though 1) he’s won at least 3-4 pieces already including a weapon and I’ve gotten 1 and 2) Alyis’s monk has 2 rings 489 and 476.

Lose to Cap

Apr22

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

Apr20

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

Apr13

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.
