Again, yesterday I just ran the one random heroic on my main. Ever run with somebody whose head you’d like to just hold underwater, let them up for a breath of air, then right back in the water again? Not because of poor play, but just because they’re insanely annoying? I ended up in a group with a male draenei shaman who kept up a steady stream of /silly and /laugh emotes (dear Og, the male draenei laugh has got to be one of the most grating sounds in the game) all the way through H:UK, mixed up with repeated wiseass jabs at the tank’s “bad” gear (Say what? Um, UK is like the easiest dungeon in NR, and the tank’s GearScore was over 4600. STFU and play, dude :rolleyes: ) I considered initiating a vote-to-kick on the guy, but the tank was doing a pretty good job of just ignoring him and doing his job so I figured “let’s just get through here and I won’t have to listen to this idiot any longer”.
Spent the rest of the day playing my mage, Svelexi, again. My druid healer, druid tank, and priest friends were on and I got them to come help her with normal UK so I could get my quests done in there (I didn’t want another 20-minute wait for a random group). Except after we grouped up whoever queued us accidentally selected UP instead of UK. But, oh well, as long as we’re here … We finished up UP, even though I didn’t have any quests there, then re-queued for UK. Once that was done and I’d handed in all the quests, I said, “So … who’s up for Drak’Tharon Keep?” where I also had quests, and so we went and got that one done too.
Best part is, Svelexi started the day in all greens and finished in mostly blues, thanks to quest rewards and some nice drops. Best bits were the Robes of Novos and the Stable Master’s Breeches.
It also turned out my friends and several of their guildmates had left their guild and formed a new one. They finally gave up, a while back, trying to persuade me/my paladin to join their old guild (I kept refusing - my “vanity” guild is called <Order of The Rik>, and I said, “The guild is named after me - my main ought to be in it!” Also, I couldn’t figure out how to make a different toon the Guild Master
) But after we finished UK they convinced me to join their new guild with my mage. So Svelexi left <Order of The Rik> and joined <Obliterated>.
I had a bit of a /facepalm moment a while later. I asked my druid friend in guild chat if she’d heard the rumor that, in Cataclysm, it’s going to be revealed that Elune is a Naaru (I saw a screenshot of a Naaru named E’lune in the temple in Darnassus). And one of the other guild members — another night elf … druid, level 75— said, “Who’s Elune?” :dubious: :smack: This, kids, is what you get by leveling through the RDF.
Anyhoo … my mage dinged 78. Two levels to my 3rd 80
