				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Geo Says:</strong></span> I was levelling Navitas in Valley of the Four Winds when NPCScan picks up Nal&#8217;lak the Ripper. I attack him and promptly get killed by his Blade Flurry, then again by his Tornado. But that&#8217;s just me learning.</p>
<p>On the third attempt, I avoid these abilities. I&#8217;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&#8217;lak.</p>
<p>Suddenly, some cunt named Tinybelth runs past trailing a group of mobs behind him &#8211; straight into my next Thrash. Needless to say, they all start attacking me, and I am forced to use Shadowmeld to save my life.</p>
<p>Tinybelth must have attacked Nal&#8217;lak, because as soon as I used Shadowmeld, Nal&#8217;lak begins attacking him. That&#8217;s when it becomes obvious.</p>
<p>The cunt DELIBERATELY ran those mobs into my AOE so he could steal the rare from under my nose.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Aim Says:</strong></span> 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.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Geo Says:</strong></span> I call him out on his Cuntism, and he says he&#8217;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.</p>
<p>If that&#8217;s not harassment in its own right, then I don&#8217;t know what is.</p>

		<title>Why CRZ Has Got To Go</title>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve all noticed the increased numbers of players running around in some zones?  This is Blizzard&#8217;s new <a href="http://eu.battle.net/wow/en-gb/blog/4394326" target="_blank">Cross Realm Zones</a> (CRZ) feature. Put simply, it allows you to play with people from other realms in the game world.</p>
<p>Quite frankly, I fucking hate it. And here&#8217;s three reasons why:</p>
<p><strong>1) Too many people doing the same quests.</strong></p>
<p>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 &#8211; one that before CRZ would have taken us just five minutes to complete. <em>We were waiting fifteen minutes for the mobs we needed to spawn.</em></p>
<p>If Blizzard are serious about CRZs, they should increase the spawn rates. That way, you don&#8217;t get a bunch of people standing around like idiots waiting on things to respawn.</p>
<p><strong>2) Increased competition for gatherers. </strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;m doing a bit more farming. But naturally, CRZ makes it that little bit harder &#8211; and much more annoying.</p>
<p><strong>3) Increased number of egomaniacs.</strong></p>
<p>CRZ, at least on Shadowsong, has led to an increase in the number of people dueling outside Stormwind. And where there&#8217;s duels, there&#8217;s the occasional egomaniac boasting about beating someone. This was bad enough before CRZ came along. But now, it&#8217;s a hell of a lot worse. Thank fuck I have DuelResponse.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s for these three reasons that I think CRZ should only be limited to higher level zones, where the challenge is actually greater &#8211; or removed completely.</p>
<p>A lot of people are all for CRZ, but some of us, myself included, wish it would go back to how it was.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m done now, but I&#8217;ll leave you with this: These are my opinions, and I&#8217;m entitled to them. If you want to counter my argument, feel free. Just don&#8217;t be a dick about it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post doesn&#8217;t have any screenshots, because my Internet connection died as I was about to take some. But I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re needed, because you should all know by now that I don&#8217;t make this shit up.</p>
<p>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 &#8211; Luxxoria&#8217;s gear sucks), so we blazed through the bosses in no time.</p>
<p>One of the other DPS, a Death Knight from the Sylvanas realm by the name of Imnotpatient, was Needing on everything he could.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;m not having it. He did it for no reason to begin with, so he can stick his apology.</p>
<p>Vanessa died, and we all went our seperate ways. The run wasn&#8217;t <em>all</em> bad though, I got a Corsair&#8217;s Overshirt and I even met another Brony.</p>
<p>But yeah, Imnotpatient. Next time you want to insult someone &#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; don&#8217;t. Just. Fucking. Don&#8217;t.</p>
