I know a loss when I see it

Dec26

Tried to get CP cap last night in random bgs but went 0/5 and gave up.

Then this morning did 0/2 on the mage then 0/1 on the priest finally got 1 win at Gilneas.

Half of these I just rage quit, there was just no point. When you see horde take the yellow gate within 1 min, it’s a loss, when you see the horde flag returned to their base and absolutely no alliance are in range to get it back with their full team escorting their fc it’s a loss, when they have 2 in gilneas and your team is split up all over the map, it’s a loss. I lose a lot, it’s easy to predict.

Case in point got into a SotA and horde took it in about 1.5 minutes, so just stood on the boat and waited to lose. Basically 5 demos rolled through all the gates, completely unmolested. Then won a TP where we destroyed them, so 1/2 there.

Janusz is quitting

Dec25

Janusz told me the other day that he was quitting until MoP.  I had already transferred my shaman back, but it’s not like I played with either person I transferred over to play with in the 3 months I was there anyway. At least we could have real id dungeoned or bg’d though.

Anyway, sigh.  People I know that pvp, never stay around.

Did my grinch run

and occasionally I run into people with cool transmogs like a person dual wielding Zin’rokh Destroyer of Worlds.  Or maybe it’s just normally two swords I dunno. Either way it was cool.

I go to Ironforge and play with my little ragdoll presents.

This is unrelated to my mage, but my shaman got a white polar bear mount from an exotic satchel, once again proving she’s the luckiest char I have right now.

I did a bunch of mining now that my JCer is back, and this is just so pretty to look at, especially in motion, in Deepholm.

Ran into Tierael, who I made friends with sometime back in Wrath, still in his old wrath gear, and helped him get that snowman achievement in Dalaran.

He seemed to remember me but said he doesn’t have time to play with work and stuff, and is still level 81 and in 265’s so has a lot of catching up to do.

Just Terrible

Dec22

Tried 3’s with Acks and his friend, but it went, fucking, terrible. TERRIBLE. We only won 2, because the other team logged in 1 person, and 2, respectively. Then I took an extra loss when they were dicking around fighting each other and left me to phase in by myself. Lost a few more, than the rogue inconceivably LEFT arena before it started to do god knows what leaving Acks and I to take another loss. Took another loss, and got an invite from Meanbaby for a raid and I told them guys I’m out. Without those two easy matches it would have been 7 straight losses, that’s just stupid shit at like, 200 rating. If they weren’t stupid fing losses I wouldn’t have been very upset but it was those 2 stupid losses plus Acks saying he had like, 200 resil.

This group, siiiigh. Facepalm. Three healers, three priests, 2 disc 1 holy. How does this keep happening? Lost the roll on the healing neck on the first boss (again), then won a roll on a mail healing belt boe, Belt of Ghostly Graces. For my SHAMAN. Hilarious, seriously, she’s gotten most of the loot so far one way or another.

We got the first boss down then spent the rest of the night failing on the bouncy ball guy. I brought in my shaman near the end for Hero, since we had a single attempt get to 1.5%, but every try after that barely got to 3rd phase. I really hate that fight.

Giving the Finger

Dec19

Ran the first 4 bosses in LFR on my mage and won Finger of Zon’ozz.  It’s a minor, minor upgrade, and I was going to give it to the next highest rolls but the priest who was second highest left, and I’m just not being nice to another mage I’m sorry.  Well, that and they all had the same wand as me already, so f’em. Lost rolls on my tier shoulders, legs, and helm. BH dropped no cloth at all.

Ran first 4 on my shaman, who I transferred back to Whisperwind today, and she won nothing in BH nor FLR.

Ran the last 4 with Relentless and got no loot, but 3 of the bosses dropped nothing for mages anyway. Siiigh.
