Not Another Whiner…

I was on Navitas, on my way to do yet another run in Heroic Sethekk Halls for the Raven Lord. Since I couldn’t get a portal, I had to use the portal to the Blasted Lands and fly via Hellfire Peninsula.

Once I got there, I saw that the Alliance were capturing the fortifications. So, I did what any self-respecting Horde would do and went to investigate. I found a couple of Level 60-odd Druids and promptly killed them both with a couple of quick Mangles.

I then Prowled and waited to see if they resurrected. Which they did. Twice. So I killed them both a total of three times at the Overlook alone.

One of them, Boomheal, was able to get on her mount and fly away. So I followed her, forgetting all about why I was actually there. I killed her one more time (after dying to an attempt to Claw her while she was in mid-air) and then went into Hellfire Ramparts to lose my PvP. I then had to go AFK for a while.

Once I got back, I found this waiting for me:

I knew this was Boomheal, as I didn’t chase the other Druid halfway across Hellfire Peninsula just to get a cheap kill. I tried to reply, but as you can see from the screenshot, Keepclear was offline.

So, I logged off Navitas, created a Human named ‘Complainmore’ and set Boomheal a few logic bombs.

Yeah, I showed her. When will people realise that flagging yourself for PvP is an invitation to die? If you can’t accept that, don’t do PvP. It’s simple, really.

Did I Kill You? Deal With It.

Geo Says: With Midsummer just begun, I was making my way around the zones honouring the Horde fires, and extinguishing the Alliance ones. Aim was with me, and he had to do the quest to sneak into the Twilight camp and gather intel.

I got there first and, since I thought nobody was around, I decided to kill the NPCs you are supposed to eavesdrop on. This atttracted the attention of a Worgen Druid named Windmor, who was stealthed behind me. He didn’t like the fact I had just killed the NPCs, even though they are on a quick respawn timer. So he proceeded to use emotes such as /laugh and /go. I tell him /no, and kill the NPCs again. This makes him flag himself for PvP. When I don’t take the bait, he uses his crab disguise.

While he’s using said disguise, I jump him. Aim also joins the fight, though Windmor kills him. However, he is weakened to the point where I kill him a few seconds later. I ressurect Aim and we heal up.

Aim Says: He only killed me because I forgot to stun him. If I did, I would have been able to heal up a bit. Oh well, live and learn. Or in this case, die and learn.

Geo Says: A few minutes later, Windmor ressurects. We take advantage of his weakened state to attack him again. This time, Aim lands the killing blow.

While waiting for him to ressurect again, I get a whisper from a Blood Elf Paladin named Tiriss. It turns out that this is Windmor’s Horde alt.

Basically, he’s upset that Aim and I killed him, and thinks it was an ‘unfair’ fight. I remind him that there are no rules in PvP, and he offers to change into his PvP spec and gear.

Aim Says: Sure, he killed me. But Geo killed him, so I don’t know why he’s being so smug. Plus, I got him back a few minutes later.

Geo Says: So I have ‘shitty tank talents’? Funny, they didn’t seem so shit when I was kicking your ass with them.

Aim Says: I whisper him as well and tell him that if he can’t take dying in PvP, he shouldn’t do PvP. It’s as simple as that.

Geo Says: I put him on ignore after this. A few minutes later, a Blood Elf Hunter joins us, also doing the quest. Together, we attack Windmor again, but since he was on a flying mount, he was able to get out of range.

Anyway, the lesson here is: If you do PvP, you will eventually die. And when you do, don’t cry about it. It won’t get you anywhere, and it makes you look pathetic.

Let’s just hope Windmor takes this lesson to heart.

Outdated Idiocy

I was watching some duels outside of Orgrimmar on Navitas. I was in my Restoration spec, so I was healing people when they’d finished their battles. During this time, I was challenged to a duel by a Warlock named Jahbless. DuelResponse declines it for me, but that doesn’t stop him challenging me three more times.

After the fourth challenge, I decide to tell him that he is wasting his time challenging me, when I clearly have an addon that is blocking it.

However, he replies in a way I wasn’t expecting…

He didn’t reply after this. Probably went away to grow up.

Swiftbow’s Revenge … NOT

Now that Navitas is a Tauren, I had to sneak through Stormwind in order to do a Stockades run for cloth. On my way out, I decide to kill a few NPCs, given that most of the Alliance players would have been in school.

I kill the gnomish toy vendor and those three mages who wander around talking about how to make a love potion. Naturally, that spawns a guard, so I kill him too.

Sadly, all this death attracted the attention of Swiftbow, who was flying overhead. Naturally, since it was me, he felt the need to attack, as did some Level 70 Mage called Marian (I hate it when low levels do that).

As I am about to attack Swiftbow, Officer Pomeroy – a Level 85 Elite guard – starts attacking me as well. Given that I had lost some health fighting the first guard, I was weak. Not to mention promptly killed.

I accepted a graveyard res, and hearthed back to Orgrimmar. All the time, I was expecting Swiftbow to log on to (or even create) a Horde character and gloat about killing me.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Swifty, but you DIDN’T.

As you can see from my Combat Log, it was Pomeroy who landed the killing blow. I know this because of the Overkill figure. He obviously hit me for more health than I had, which meant that I died.

So it looks like Swiftbow … wasn’t swift enough.

False Accusations III

This incident happened on May 29th, 2012. I didn’t have time to type it up until now, as I have been on a First Aid course for the last couple of days.

This is a two-author story. If a screenshot only has one set of commentary underneath it, then it’s from Geo, as this happened on one of his characters.

I was in Goldshire on Navitas, getting smashed. As you know, when you get tipsy, drunk or smashed on booze, everyone nearby knows about it. So imagine my surprise a Worgen Hunter named Swiftbow decides to use this information to launch an unprovoked verbal assault against me.

Aim Says: I had literally just logged in when I saw this guy start his crap. At first I thought Geo had done a random with Swiftbow (who we will now refer to as ‘Swift’), but when I saw him ask ‘Who are you?’ I realised that this wasn’t the case. So, I stepped in to defend Geo. After all, he’d do the same for me … I hope.

Geo Says: This was the second time I had been falsely accused of something in a week. I was gobsmacked, to say the least. Rather than stick him on ignore, I decided to stick around and see where this went.

Geo Says: Either he’s a kid who refers to his mum as his ‘Mrs’ (for whatever reason), or he’s an adult who doesn’t know how to turn off the Mature Language Filter. I certainly didn’t mouth off at said ‘Mrs’, but I’ll mouth off at this guy for making up stories.

Aim Says: He’s accusing Geo of mouthing off … by doing it himself. Hypocrite.

Notice how he’s not presenting his evidence? I lost count of how many times I asked him to present it to me.

Aim Says: I realise now that he never answered my question.

Geo Says: Logs can be faked.

Aim Says: Ataxiaqt … we’ll  get back to him later.

Geo Says: Ataxiaqt (hereafter referred to as ‘Ataxia’) butted in and told us all to ‘shut the fuck up and take it to whisper’. When Aim suggested he use /ignore, Ataxia called him an ‘ignorant n****r’. I reported him for this, and the offending chat was removed from my chat log. That’s why you can’t see it.

Why did I even take this screenshot? Oh yeah, to show the ‘Complaint Registered’ message. Now you can be sure I reported someone. But at least Swiftbow had shut up.

Geo Says: Damn, I guess not.

Aim Says: Am I right, or am I right?

Yeah, and I’m still waiting on that proof, mate.

I decided to kill myself to sober up quicker. Once again, I bring up the ‘no evidence’ argument. Once again, Swift ignores it.

Aim Says: He’s only making himself look like an idiot. Accusing Geo of insulting his ‘Mrs’, and yet here he is, calling Geo names.

Geo Says: Aim is right. I hardly ever go to Goldshire, so if I had insulted his ‘Mrs’, I would have still been in Stormwind.

I finally decide that I’ve had enough of this bullshit and decide to offer one final argument in my own defence. An argument which, I hope, will shut him up.

Naviitas. Navvitas, Navitaas, Navitass, Navtas … the list goes on. ‘Navtas’ is especially easy to confuse with ‘Navitas’, as you can hardly see the ‘i’ on ‘Navitas’.

A few minutes after I present this argument, ‘lol’ is the only reply I’ve received from Swift. I take this to mean that he’s either put me on ignore, or he has run out of insults. I’m going to assume the latter.

And that’s that. However, I’m not done yet. Remember Ataxia?

Well, after this was done, he was still spouting crap at Aim. He had already contacted Aim from two different characters. He then denied this when Aim asked him about it. I didn’t bother taking screenshots, as the only words Ataxia seemed to have in his vocabulary were ‘ignorant’, ‘faggot’ and ‘dick’.

Anyway, I’m done now. I hope Swift sees this and realises how much of a dickhead he was to me. And even if he does present evidence, I’m 99% sure it will have been fabricated.

Because any fool can create a character.
