I don’t need anything

Random rant for the day, people who play A LOT of alts in a rather serious fashion.

It’s nice when you are raiding with the same person and characters all the time for a number of reasons, but one of the perks is, when they win gear, you know they don’t need that piece again. So if it’s say, your glove tier token and they win it, you know the next one is yours (assuming no one else is on the token blah blah). But sometimes when a person has a character fully geared up, they don’t want to raid on that one any more. They want to bring another char of theirs that needs gear, so they are forever bringing something that NEEDS gear. That’s why I’d often say “I don’t need anything” when joining raids. I am bringing my skills and gear and not taking anything from anyone. Some people just like to be constantly on the take.

Anyway we raided last night and one shot the first two bosses. One shot! I was slightly miffed though, the gloves that Duriel got last time, dropped again. They should have just gone to me by default, but the new mage also wanted them. So when the spirit ring dropped off Feng, even though I rolled highest, I couldn’t get it. I think I only dropped 3 spots on the loot list, but still.

Spent a lot of time staring at the healing meters, and the pallies healing just feels wrong. Looks wrong. I don’t know. People have said he has poor reaction time and stuff too. Most of the fights are two healable, I’ve been told, and I’d much rather do it with Tree, the druid.

I picked up my bloodthirsty cape, enchanted it.

Then I went to tangle with Ladiesman, for fun, in TB. He could have killed me half a dozen times and I may have gotten close to killing him once, but, we were just playing.

Always wanted a blood elf ice sculpture!

I’ve played too much

Nov6

Logged in and our VOA 25 group I signed up for doesn’t appear to be going.

I queue up for random BGs and we lose Arathi, what else is new. I have a stupid paladin auto following me (AFing) as a ghost and repeatedly report him as afk, since this is a bot being a jerk and avoiding the auto afk kick.

I queue again and get EoTS. I die and get caught in the rez loop over and over. Then we lose. My healing is very low because Alliance never bothers to defend bases, so should I be defending I typically have no one TO heal.

Then WG pops and I go run that. People that want VOA groups but don’t run WG are lame, btw. The guild calendar said we’d be doing VOA 25, but instead nearly an hour later, with Cinor crying about it, they decide to do the weekly instead and I get passed over because I want to run WG instead, as was sort of planned. I’m kind of pissed. But hey I’m a healer I can get the weekly without guild help. Just as I’m done with WG they tell me they’ve filled my spot even though I said we’d be done shortly. They said they would run VOA after the weekly, which will be foolish because you need to set up or join the 25 man versions right after WG is won or you’ll never get it going. At least, IMO. Soooo they ran the weekly THEN set up a VOA 25. I’m glad I ran a WG win so people who didn’t bother could take advantage of VOA. /grumble

We do get that down however. I dislike healing with other disc priests unless we divide up who is bubbling what otherwise you waste time checking who already has the Weakened Soul debuff.

Then I run another BG and get Isle of Conquest, but we lose because we’re uncoordinated, totally. Got 49 honor out of it though.

I then run Arathi we which lose, but sort of under odd circumstances. A rogue gets me solo at LM, I call out for help and a DK, Dargon-Kael’thas (with the two dots over the O) comes up and saves me. We start a convo while I throw out Holy Nova to knock the rogue out of stealth should they still be around and he lays down whatever DK’s do, to do the same. And even with us both doing that, both standing around the flag, somehow the banner turns to Horde and they win. We gripe in PMs back and forth for a bit and they say they will miss me anytime from now on.

Yes, I’ve played way too much today. I run my daily dungeon with Maice and get Nexus AGAIN. I throw out some Holy Fire and Smites to keep myself awake. Then I call it a night!

Qeet is a loot ninja

Nov5

Ran a Trial of the Champion with guildies Yellowducky and Maice, and got Paletress as the challenger this time.

and she summoned Illidan Stormrage which I don’t think I’ve seen ever before.

We finish up that and the Black Knight with little trouble despite the classes still being a bit wacked.

I then run a WG and sort of fix the hp bars with the /console bloattest 1 command but they still go insane when they overlap. Or try to, they don’t actually overlap so the hp bars jostle around to find room so you may have an hp bar nowhere near the npc/mob. We win that though the Horde did get down the outer NW wall. A mage by the name of Rexe thanks me and says he never died thanks to my heals.

I then catch a VOA 10 because I figure I can use the messed up interface to heal at least 10 people with no problems. The RL says he wants to do a full clear and heads to the fire boss first, which no one ever does, so me and the other healer, and one tank start to head down to frost, and the rest go to fire, resulting in a total group wipe. Seriously, no one ever starts with fire. The fire boss goes badly, anyway.

We decide to just do frost and what do you know, the Reins of the Grand War Mammoth drop. The raid leader is really slow on the loot and it’s fairly clear what is going to happen. He lists the first two pieces of loot, then the war mammoth, then gives it to himself even though someone else rolled a 90 and drops party. That is called being a loot ninja. I call the guy, who is named Qeet a “real asshole” in trade chat.

He then mocks people by offering rides on the war mammoth, and I am highly irritated to have people say in chat that we “should have known” that would happen and “that’s what you get for running with a scrub paladin” etc etc. Because one should expect people to ninja highly desirable loot just because it is in fact highly desirable. Whatever. I was nowhere near the winning roll, but I am angry for the person who won that he screwed over. And I am mad at the people that say stupid crap like we should have known, etc etc. As far as I know EVERYONE pugs VOA, I haven’t had a VOA guild run in like 8 months.

So Qeet, you are a douche. I don’t care if people ‘expect’ that to be ninja’d either.

I log out.

Sassy Cat

Jan6

Ok first off, I want this cat as a pet.

so back to questing, the red dragon I saved is now flying about knocking Twlight Skyterrors out of the sky which I then take out on the ground.

She’s clearly PISSED. I mean, that much is obvious since she had been chained down in the midst of many other mangled red dragon bodies too. I also free elementals that turn friendly and attack enemies for me.
