World of Warcraft sighting...

[Lingering Grin]

Holy crap, they exist in virtual reality too!!!

Also... I can't believe this WORKED!!!

First some background for the non-WoW player:

-- Every Inn has a mailbox outside of it.
-- Unless you're in a major city, mailboxes are ONLY outside of Inns.
-- We were NOT in a major city.
-- This person was NOT a new player.


So, here I am, chilling next to a mailbox minding my own business, now this mailbox is next to a HUGE tent, in fact it's the largest structure in the outpost... it's also the Inn.
(For the WoW players: I was in Garadar)


So this SP (Stupid Player ) comes riding up on their horse and asks:

SP says, "Is there an Inn around here?"

My reply:

You glance at the Mailbox (I did an emote )

You say, "No."


and then she RIDES AWAY!!!

I think about 50% of the player base qualifies as a Susky Customer of some sort. I've noticed in WotLK though, that some of the 'inns' are small tents, big enough for one person to realistally stand in. Like the ones in Stars Rest. And some of the mailboxes have different models now, so if you don't see the mail cursor when you mouse over it, you have no clue that it's supposed to be a mailbox. Like the one in the Argent Stand that looks like it was the target of a mail bomb or something. But I've seen Garadar, and it's pretty big (though I don't really know, I'm an Ally =P), there's no way it wouldn't have an inn, and that's in Nagrand (?) where people still have normal looking mailboxes.

I had a Tauren once, in BC, ninja herb one of the huge trees in Skettis right out from under me. The loot screen flashed just long enough for me to see the Black Lotus I would have gotten, which went for 30 something gold then. He laughed and ran off with his sweet lootz, I turned auto loot on. Really, people, you want tons of herbs, go kill your own insane murderous tree.

There are no words. NONE.

Okay, there are a lot of words. A whole lotta words.

And some describe this perfectly.

But none I can think of.

Probably in Swedish, though.

Maybe they bought the character?
People still do that right? I haven't played in over year.

[repsac]

The last time I went there, I got my Death Knight butt attacked. Then again I am the wrong faction.

You want to see suckiness? Read their customer service forums sometime. My particular favorite was the guy last week who got the game for christmas, upgraded, then turned around and payed a power level company to level him. After he got perma banned, he actually had the nerve to threaten to sue blizzard.

[Chromatix]

See, that's another reason I like EVE. There is no "power levelling", because skills are acquired by the passage of time rather than by grinding.

Of course, you do still have to earn currency (ISK) to make it in the game. People do buy ISK from farmers. The farmers are a big problem, but it's much easier to spot a character who's bought ISK but doesn't have the skills or nous to back it up.

[Calud]

Haha, I could tell you WoW stories, you wouldn't believe it. Gotta write them down some day.

(This was before WoW had all the fancy services to pretty much change anything you like)

"Can you change my rogue into a troll?"
-"Well, sure, here you go... you are a troll rogue now..."
He was a troll rogue to begin with...

"Can you change my appearance? I modeled my character after my grandfather, but he died two days ago."
Wait... you modeled your character after your grandfather? You do realize you have an UNDEAD WARRIOR there, right?

"Can you change my name? I named my character after my dog, but my dog died a week ago!"
-"Sure Shadowkiller/Imbakiller/Deathshadow, here is your namechange... not.

Also, most awesome name for a Tauren:

Tschernobull.

Funny notices are also always welcome... internal stuff like...

Raidgroup killed Onyxia, but she had the nerve not to drop her beloved questitem (her head is the questitem) so the GM of course wrote down:

Onyxia didn't give head!


And many more

Oh boy - that takes me back to the time when I was a moderator on a MUD. One of the zones had a quest chain whereby a citadel was under attack and you had to kill the pirates attacking. If you killed the chief and took his head to the general defending, you got an extra rewards.

Complaint from player.

"I gave head to the general and he didn't give me anything."

We couldn't type straight for ages.

not to mention the SCs who beg .... and then try to threaten you for not donating. tho that woudl be it's own thread really

[Talon]

Ugh, some of the posters at the WoW support forums are real pieces of work.

Back when I was still hooked, there was the usual incessant whine of complaints about downed servers and gameplay-changing updates. But this one poster actually had the gall to post this:

"I pay your salary, therefore I have the right to insult you (Blizzard employees)."

The nerve of some people. Or should I say, the nerve of some people when they're protected by anonymity.

From my experience all MMOs and their boards have their fair share of EWs and fucktards. WoW just seems worse 'cos 5% of 10 million is a lot bigger than 5% of 250K (CoX player meself)

[Dawnchaser]

There are several people in my guild who seem to be regulars with Blizz's customer service and/or tech support. They are constantly bragging about bitching Blizz out for something or other, how someone got mad at a GM for not doing what he wanted and swore and then put the GM on ignore, and other such stupidities.

These people have issues...and a lot of them work customer service. Sigh.

Having just gotten hooked on the WoW... thanks to a friend who owns a sweet compy...

The best thing to ever happen to me, a just barely level 13 Dwarvish Hunt in Loch Modan, was some guy wandering up as I stared off into the Loch, with a dead Crocolich of to my side...
In chat:
Him: "Wooooot! Croc tears!"
Me: /me blinks. "Croc tears? Quest related?"
Him: "Yup. Hey, you want to duel?"
Me: look at his level 29 whatever the hell it was, then my level 13 ass... and turn away from staring at the Loch, and wander away a bit, only to get the Duel pop up right over my head. I click deny and move on, only to hear the whining of a power levelling newb, "Awww, why not?"
Me: /ignore PLN

Friend's roommate gets to hear my comments, and wanders over to look over my shoulder, and chuckles heartily at the sequence of events leading to my eventual decision to ignore everyone in Azeroth (Not Cyrodiil... that's Oblivion!)
