I end the blog and all of a sudden, the idiots start crawling out of the woodwork. I’ve got a few screenshots already, and am thinking of re-starting IoW, albeit with a severely reduced update schedule.
So, yeah. Keep an eye open.
It’s quite clear that I won’t be updating this any time soon, so I might as well call it a day and quit updating altogether.
Thanks for all your support!
Geo Says: I was levelling Navitas in Valley of the Four Winds when NPCScan picks up Nal’lak the Ripper. I attack him and promptly get killed by his Blade Flurry, then again by his Tornado. But that’s just me learning.
On the third attempt, I avoid these abilities. I’m using Thrash on him for the bleed effect and to lower his damage done. Thrash, as you know, is an AOE ability. There are no other mobs around, because I killed them all before attacking Nal’lak.
Suddenly, some cunt named Tinybelth runs past trailing a group of mobs behind him – straight into my next Thrash. Needless to say, they all start attacking me, and I am forced to use Shadowmeld to save my life.
Tinybelth must have attacked Nal’lak, because as soon as I used Shadowmeld, Nal’lak begins attacking him. That’s when it becomes obvious.
The cunt DELIBERATELY ran those mobs into my AOE so he could steal the rare from under my nose.
Aim Says: I was there to help Geo fight the rare, but Tinybelth had already stolen it by the time I got to him. I whispered the dick about it, and he practically admitted that he done it on purpose.
Geo Says: I call him out on his Cuntism, and he says he’s reporting me for harassment. You can FUCK RIGHT OFF with that shit, mate. You were the one who deliberately tried to get me killed so you could steal the rare.
If that’s not harassment in its own right, then I don’t know what is.
I’m sure you’ve all noticed the increased numbers of players running around in some zones? This is Blizzard’s new Cross Realm Zones (CRZ) feature. Put simply, it allows you to play with people from other realms in the game world.
Quite frankly, I fucking hate it. And here’s three reasons why:
1) Too many people doing the same quests.
With CRZ, many low level zones have had a population increase. This means you have more people competing with you for quest mobs and items. Aim and I were doing a quest in Swamp of Sorrows the other day – one that before CRZ would have taken us just five minutes to complete. We were waiting fifteen minutes for the mobs we needed to spawn.
If Blizzard are serious about CRZs, they should increase the spawn rates. That way, you don’t get a bunch of people standing around like idiots waiting on things to respawn.
2) Increased competition for gatherers.
Navitas is a Miner and a Herbalist by trade. But CRZ means she now finds herself competing with more people to get those all important nodes. With the release of Mists of Pandaria imminent, I’m doing a bit more farming. But naturally, CRZ makes it that little bit harder – and much more annoying.
3) Increased number of egomaniacs.
CRZ, at least on Shadowsong, has led to an increase in the number of people dueling outside Stormwind. And where there’s duels, there’s the occasional egomaniac boasting about beating someone. This was bad enough before CRZ came along. But now, it’s a hell of a lot worse. Thank fuck I have DuelResponse.
It’s for these three reasons that I think CRZ should only be limited to higher level zones, where the challenge is actually greater – or removed completely.
A lot of people are all for CRZ, but some of us, myself included, wish it would go back to how it was.
I’m done now, but I’ll leave you with this: These are my opinions, and I’m entitled to them. If you want to counter my argument, feel free. Just don’t be a dick about it.
This post doesn’t have any screenshots, because my Internet connection died as I was about to take some. But I don’t think they’re needed, because you should all know by now that I don’t make this shit up.
Anyway, I was on Luxxoria, doing some random Heroics. I got put into a Deadmines group and we got going. We had decent DPS (almost – Luxxoria’s gear sucks), so we blazed through the bosses in no time.
One of the other DPS, a Death Knight from the Sylvanas realm by the name of Imnotpatient, was Needing on everything he could.
When Vanessa VanCleef injected us with the Nightmare Elixir, we quickly made our way back to her. Unfortunately, I died in the Machine Nightmare. Those spinning lightning things always get me.
So, Imnotpatient decides to call me a noob. I tell him to fuck off, and re-enter the dungeon, only to die again when Vanessa blows up the ship. Imnotpatient has another go at me, and once again I tell him to fuck off.
I collect my body for the second time, and Imnotpatient dies. HA. Fucking KARMA, bitch. He tries to apologise to me for insulting me, but I’m not having it. He did it for no reason to begin with, so he can stick his apology.
Vanessa died, and we all went our seperate ways. The run wasn’t all bad though, I got a Corsair’s Overshirt and I even met another Brony.
But yeah, Imnotpatient. Next time you want to insult someone …
… don’t. Just. Fucking. Don’t.
