Geo Says: Well, look at this. I was beginning to think that nobody was going to send in something for me to look at, but I guess I was wrong.

This story was sent in by Hotash, from the Frostmourne (US) realm. He has included his own commentary, which is below.

Hotash Says: We were at Queen Azshara, and had just wiped because nobody interrupted her. The tank starts raging, accusing me of not interrupting. Since I was the healer, I was kinda focusing on that.

Geo Says: I love how some people always ask this after a wipe.

Hotash Says: My friend who had tagged along quickly put him right, and that was that. At least until the last boss, when he demanded that I use Life Grip (Leap of Faith) to pull him to the Hourglass so that he could use it, rather than let me do it.

Geo Says: And that’s that. Seems to me like this guy needs to learn the difference between the icons for tank and healer. Maybe get an attitude adjustment as well.

Thanks for sending this in, Hotash! I really appreciate it.

Weeping Weetos

I was on Luxxoria, doing various things such as making Netherweave Bags and Disenchanting the crap my alts send, when I see a mage advertising portals. He’s asking for gold as payment, so I put out my own advertisement for free portals.

Nothing wrong with that, right? Weetos doesn’t seem to think so.

I meant ‘deal with it’ in a ‘sorry, but this is just business’ kind of way. Not a ‘fuck you, my portals are better’ kind of way.

No idea what brought that on.

So he’s a sore loser and a hypocrite. Go figure.

Nobody took me up on my offer of free portals, anyway. They probably thought I was trolling or some shit.

Pulling 101

I was tanking Hour of Twilight on Navitas. All had been going well, and we were at the second boss, Asira Dawnslayer. Anyone who has fought her will know she drops a Smoke Bomb every now and again, meaning the tank has to take her out of it so the DPS can attack her. This I did.

However, after we killed her, a Hunter named Projex started talking a load of shit, by claiming I wasn’t taking Asira out of the smoke…

I can say without a doubt that I was taking Asira out of her Smoke Bomb. I’ve always done it, so why would I stop now?

I’ll explain what I mean by this in a moment. I made a diagram.

Also, he wasn’t standing behind me. He’s just saying that he was in order to alleviate himself of any blame. At this point, we were fighting Murozond.

And that was it. We killed Murozond, I gave him this advice and left. Now I will explain what I think happened, using my little diagram…

As you can see, I am originally standing at the position marked by the orange 1. Asira drops a smoke bomb, so I pull her backwards out of it, thus ending up at position 2.

Projex, meanwhile, has ran from the green 1 to the green 2, however his LOS (indicated by the broken line) is blocked by the Smoke Bomb. So rather than move a few feet to his left/right, he decides to accuse me of not moving Asira.

It’s times like this I wish I could record videos. Sadly uploading them would be a huge strain on my Internet connection.

No matter, I’m fairly certain that I am right about my theory. As I said earlier, I always move Asira from the Smoke Bomb, so why would I suddenly stop doing it now?

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.

All Hail Conan, The Lord of Linen!

Oh my GOD, this new realm is SO DAMN QUIET! I’m so happy I am able to post an update. I’d move to another realm, but money is a bit tight just now. You know how it is.

Anyway, I was on Luxxoria, selling my stuff at the Auction House when I see a player named Conanthewarr (hereafter referred to as ‘Conan’ selling Linen Cloth at 4g a stack. Since I had twelve stacks of linen on the Auction house at 7g 50s each, I cancel all the auctions and put half of them back up at 2g each.

Conan promptly buys all four, so I put another four up, again at 2g a stack. This time, I advertise in Trade. What happens next is rather … pathetic.

You read that right, folks. He did indeed call me a ‘fag’ for undercutting him.

I didn’t really report him. I was actually hoping he’d panic. I was rather disappointed when he didn’t. But I’m right. I did get a three hour ban for telling someone to ‘fuck off and man up’ (or something along those lines). So by rights he’d get the same for calling me a ‘fag’.

I put him on ignore after this. Just to piss him off even more, I cancelled my Linen auctions (again), and put all eight stacks up at a 1 copper starting bid.

Conan didn’t take bid. However, when I checked a few hours later, I saw that several people had undercut him on cloth. I wonder how many of them got an angry whisper, or an angry in-game mail?

There are no rules against undercutting people on the Auction House. If there was, nobody would be able to make any money.

Which is something Conan really needs to learn.
