There aren’t a whole lot of guildies in the right level range at the moment, unfortunately.
Yeah, I noticed that. Everybody stop levelling so fast! Or, level faster!
What we should have done was have everyone roll a new toon at the beginning, reserved for these runs. Except that was over a year ago and there has been turnover in the guild since then. Oh well – if we can’t get a group by 9:00 tonight, maybe Mordrin and I will go back and do Wailing Caverns - somehow we missed that achievement when we were levelling. Need the Stockades, too, but Mordrin is askaird of the run thrugh SW.
Hey, Nahren can always come along if you don’t mind a level 72 with you. 
I am sorry I leveled out of range so quickly, but damn if the Druid just isn’t so much fun. And while I’ve got a Warrior and a Mage waiting in the wings, I’m honestly not sure I can stomach classic WoW again without heirlooms to speed things up. So right now I’m prioritizing getting to the Argent Tournament with Nahren.
I’d love to come help on my farming DK, but Wednesday is a raid night for me.
Yeah, I was in BB the other day on my lvl 45 draenei warrior, looking for Horde toons to put pumpkin heads on*, and the place was a ghost town. I only saw two other players total, both Alliance.
I have an idea for a “sort of” solution for the BB situation, which is to take a lvl 80 toon and locate the Bloodsail NPC who hands out these quests, and just kill him over and over so he can’t offer the quest, and people can’t get their stupid hat. Anybody know where to find the guy? I know it won’t stop them from getting their rep since that’s received when they actually make the kills, but …
- Since I couldn’t find any Hordies in BB, I went to Ratchet, where I managed to tag a blood elf, an orc, and a tauren. All I needed then were a troll and an undead, so I decided to go to Orgrimmar. This could have easily turned into the kind of situation I got into when I did the same thing with my lvl 80 human pally back during Noble Garden**, but fortunately it didn’t. I rode close to Org and spotted a low-level troll outside the gates. I edged closer, but aggroed a guard I hadn’t seen, who hit me from behind. Fortunately, I was still mounted, so I was able to ride away without getting killed or triggering my PvP flag. Rode back (other side of the road this time), and tagged the troll with a pumpkin. Troll ran up to me, for whatever reason, so I /waved at him. Then with perfect timing, an undead rogue galloped past, and I tagged him too for the achievement.
** The Noble Garden incident with my pally is still one of the funniest things that’s ever happened to me in the game. I was trying to finish the Shake Your Bunny-Maker achievement for putting bunny ears on lvl 18 female toons, and the only one I had left to do was a female orc. (Hmm. I just checked and I guess I wasn’t quite lvl 80 yet; Noble Garden was late April/early May, and I hit 80 on June 2.) Anyway, I parked myself outside the main gate of Org and waited. And waited. And waited. I stayed out of the guards’ aggro range, but there was a pair of high-70s Hordies standing nearby keeping an eye on me, apparently waiting for me to do something stupid (which, of course, I had no intention of doing). I’ll note here that I was unarmed and unarmored. Instead, I was wearing my Elegant Dress and carrying my bouquet of Spring Flowers.
There also happened to be a level 40-something human loitering nearby. I assume she was also looking for somebody to bunny. Unfortunately, she did wander too close to the guards, and was promptly stomped into paste. And so, being a good-hearted paladin, I clicked on her corpse and began to cast Redemption (paladin resurrection spell) … and yeah, that was all for me. My PvP flag flew, those two high-level Hordies pounced, and now there were two human corpses in front of Org :smack:
Since I hadn’t seen a single female orc this whole time, I just rezzed at the graveyard and went home. I finally got the achievement in August, when I bunnied a female orc in Dalaran.
Careful you must be. Once you start down the griefing path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
w00t! My lvl 80 human paladin, Eilyssana, is now The Bread Winner!
Geez, where did it all go?
Hah! That’s what you get for being all helpful. 
Sounds kind of like what happened to me, only I needed a Tauren. So I camped out at the Crossroads. I spent some time running through the town, too, and although I didn’t hit anything, apparently I was standing in there long enough to flag me. And since I was wearing my Noblegarden outfit instead of any of my regular gear, the Hordies who’d been panting for me to flag jumped me and killed me.
Unfortunately for them, they had to learn the hard way that an 80 with “Twilight Vanquisher” floating over her head is probably better geared than they are. Especially problematic is when that Prot War has a Resto Druid friend in the area. I rezzed at a distance, threw my tanking set back on, and proceeded to chase down and corpse-camp the foolish kids who screwed with me when all I wanted was my &%#$ achievement.
Who, me, vindictive?
IME, hookers and booze. YMMV. (Seriously, try to never look at your income totals… it will just make you cry when you think of all the things you could have bought if you’d budgeted better.)
dancing female draenei in Goldshire?
Actually, it occurred to me after I posted that the almost 6000g in my vanity guild’s bank came from my 80, and she’s also carrying almost 4000g on her person. So most of what she’s spent was earned via looting, mining, and selling other crap on the AH.
Lessee … she’s looted 3439g and change …
Ah, here we go: Total Gold Acquired: 32326g, 88s, 48c.
So while i have almost 10k on hand, I’ve still managed to spend, one way or another, more than 22k.
4 guild bank tabs
All riding/flying skills purchased before the recent price drops.
Paid something like 1200g for my Titansteel Destroyer, and probably dropped another 2-3k on other crafted armor pieces.
ETA: I’ll also note that that “total gold acquired” doesn’t take into account the gold I had to spend to acquire it. Like trying to top off Tailoring by making those top-end level 80 purple robes. Sure, I can sell them on the AH for ~900g, but the mats to make them cost me almost that much, sometimes more.
Oh noes! :eek: Come back up yet?
Well, of course he is! He’s got one of the best as his in-game guru!
(Finally got the multi-quite thing figgered out!

No, I’ve been at work all day. I DO have a lead that points to the power supply, but won’t know if just unplugging it and letting it rest a while will fix it or if I have to buy a new one and replace it until I get home. Or if it’s not the power supply after all. That would be what we call a “worst-case scenario”. nods
jayjay?
Don’t know how fast it would be for WoW, but I have Dell Dim 3K just sitting here gathering dust if it would help? Be glad to ship it to you as a gift?
At least you could cannibalize the power supply (or I could cannibalize it for you), if it would work, that is.
Can you tell I don’t know much about computers?
Wife is the “guru” about that!

I’m going to do some research over the weekend, and I’ll figure out if that would work out and let you know. Thank you for offering, either way!
Woot. You may now call me Twilight Vanquisher Tacoloco!
NP… Just let me know!
Thanks

Quick thought from last night’s alt instance: wow, Dire Maul West is a hell of a lot harder than DM East.
I just sent this PM to the co-GMs of our guild. I’m more than moderately frustrated at the generally lax attitude some folks take toward raiding. I’m not a “hardcore” raider, but I had hoped that people would at least be serious about the time they’re actually raiding.
We have people who always show up late for raids, people who will AFK without warning, people who show up for raids unprepared with no reagents, pots and/or flasks.
We used this on the regular anubarak encounter and it makes it almost trivial.
IMHO, as a healer, managing the scarabs and their debuffs is the secret to clearing anub regular mode.
My guild used to do have a lot of server firsts before the core of the guild (like 10 people) left to join some uberguild (before my time, I think they left right after WOTLK) on some other server and my understanding is that they used to wipe more than 100 times a week during progression. That was back when you had 40 people in a raid so the raidwide cost was relatively high. These days most of the wiping is done on the 10 man version so it is a bit cheaper.
BS+JC is godly for everyone. I have JC but I can’t be bothered to level up BS because it is just too painful gathering all the mats.
