Even had the number “1” quest in it. Thanks Q ---

I’m not entirely sure, the comment I read seemed to insinuate that vote kicks don’t work at all on the PTR. ---

So 4.3 is a patch, right? Not an X-pack? Thanks Q ---

Yes, 4.3 is a patch. Expansions have names rather than numbers. ---

Just making sure I understand X-packs: I don’t have to buy it right away, but if I want to see any of the “Mists” stuff, I should? Is that right? Thanks Q ---

You actually never have to buy it, as long as you don’t mind not being able to play a pandaren or see the new areas or be able to advance Wolkie to lvl 90. ---

Yeah, okay. I’m buyin’ it, then, **jay**! (You knew I would, right?:)) Also, I haven’t mentioned it yet, but The Headless Horseman? (He was there when I FIRST started playing 4 years ago, I think it was?). I love to hear his voice and I always call him Sir Yellsalot! 🙂 I also need to get back to my DK, now that I have the game a little more understood! He’s in Cairne, btw! Thanks Q PS: Can’t do “A lot to lose” today. I didn’t log out in time after the 25 bomb hits and I ain’t flyin’ way back over there today! 🙂 ---

Shit. I’ve lost that yellow arrow that shows me which way to fly. Can’t click on the quest and then see that tiny map anymore. ---

[http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/fuckedupmap.jpg](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/fuckedupmap.jpg) THIS is what I’m talking about. I’m supposed to gather 4 hycacinths to give to that lady, but I don’t have that yellow arrow anymore, so I’m flying around and around and can’t find where those flowers are because all I get when I click the min-map is a picture of the land, and no fucking arrow. I checked for updates for QH and there aren’t any. Tom tom had one and I updated, but that didn’t help either. Also (this is on Curse) Gartherer had an update, and I did that one too, but so far, no big yellow taxi. Thanks! Q ---

And here’s that “Acquire Banner” quest I’ve been telling y’all about. Look at what it says to do and then look at where I am: Stormwind City. [![](https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/bannershit.jpg) ](https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/bannershit.jpg) I have run the cursor/mouse over everything but my own dick, but I can’t find any banners.

> [@jayjay](#): > > The hyacinths are around the base of the dam just west of Dalaran in Northrend. I know where they are, but without that arrow helping me, and them (the hyacynths) showing up right next to the dam (they don’t and they used to), I have no clue as to where to go, **jay**. Q ETA: All I have now is a big green arrow showing me where to turn the flowers IN, but if I don’t have them, I don’t complete the quest, and this has been going on ever since I signed on today. Guess I better start another ticket. Also, all the add-ons are okay. ---

If you’re not getting sparklies for them and you’re getting a green turn-in arrow, check your bags carefully. You may have gathered them for a prior time when they were the daily and forgotten to turn them in then. So they’d still be in your bags, the ones by the dam won’t be sparkling, and you’d be getting the turn-in arrow instead of the gather-stuff arrow. Since they’re a quest item, their icon in your bag will have a yellow border, which makes it a little easier to find them if they’re there. ---

You act like you were just born tonight Face down in a Orgrimmar but feeling all right So who does your Tank belong to today? Baby, you don’t say nothing to me since WoW came your way The Trolls in the Group thinking, “who is this Tauren dude?” But they don’t think nothing when they’re needing on blues You look so careless when they’re shooting that bow Don’t you know Tanks are heroes when their rage bars aren’t low Tell me you’re trying to cure a seven-year ache See what else your Broken Armor can take The boys say, “when is he gonna give us some Loot” The Mages say, “god I hope he gets the argo soon” Everybody’s talking but you don’t hear a thing You’re still up in BRD on your downhill swing The Guild is empty, why don’t you come around? Baby, what is so great about taking an elite down? Spending your gold to be someone you’re not You say you’re looking for something you might’ve forgot Don’t bother calling to say you’re leaving WoW alone 'Cause there’s a Quest on every corner when you’re trying to get home Just tell 'em you’re trying to cure a seven-year ache See what else your Broken Armor can take The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some Loot The Mages say, “god I hope he gets the agro soon” Tell me you’re trying to cure a seven-year ache See what else your Broken Armor can take The boys say, “when is he gonna give us some Loot” The Mages say, “god I hope he gets the agro soon” ---

I logged in with my Burning Dog Legion main toon, Kalathan, last night, and got invited by Rottingbird to join his guild on another Firelands non-heroic 10-man raid (I’d run with them Thursday before last). We were also joined by Makig from the BDL. Had a fabulous time, and an excellent run. We made it all the way through with no wipes, and managed to take down Ragnaros on the second try. I know Makig picked up at least one upgrade, and I really cleaned up. I got the[Skullstealer Greataxe](http://www.wowhead.com/item=71014)from Shannox, the [Breastplate of Shifting Visions](http://www.wowhead.com/item=71344) from Staghelm, and finally the[Helm of the Firey Conqueror](http://www.wowhead.com/item=71675) token dropped from Ragnaros himself. 🙂 ---
