#*&^ AFK'ers

*Pissy Post* Why do people go AFK in battlegrounds? Just so they can soak up honor and leech off everyone else. It really pisses me off. You know what would be awesome? If I could do some type of Matrix’ish computer warp from my house to the house of people going AFK in AV’s. A tale of Amazingness: John Doe is sitting there in his room(Probably watching Baywatch getting his jollies….to David Hasslehoff), letting a macro occasionally hit the jump bar for him so he doesn’t log out of wow or get booted from his AV Game. Mr.Doe is so enthralled by the half naked men(Im pretty sure all AFK’ers are gay) he doesn’t see my Uber cool computer warp trick as I materialize in his room. I instantly start beating the crap out of his computer until it is an unrecognizable heap of sparking rubble. The whole time John is screaming like a bitch and must be knocked unconscious with his own keyboard. On my way out of his room I pause to check out a scene of Pamela Anderson running down the beach, then head down stairs. I guess I would probably swing by the living room to make out with John Doe’s Mom before heading to the airport to catch my flight home. I hate AFK’ers much more than this but I tried to make my tale as PG-13 as I could, My first draft was much worse which included the use of bodily fluids. Seriously though, over the weekend having 10-15 people AFK per AV was normal(See screenshots). I know horde have the same problem as alliance so it’s not necessarily that the AFK’ers are causing losses it’s just the fact that they are piggybacking on my honor grind, and that’s crap. I don’t want to run AV for hours and hours over and over again but I do so I can get the gear to use in Arena’s. Why should John Doe get to sit there and not do anything and get the bonus honor? I hope blizzard finds a way to strip people of their honor points if they were AFK the whole battle. Here is my favorite screen shot I took of AV this weekend. Almost EVERYONE was AFK , notice there is 4 of us going on offense. I can’t remember…..but im almost positive we didn’t win that one. Repair Bill for AV this weekend. 13g

Spend 120g Just to make gold?

Thursday 08/23/07: *This is a pissy post* Last night I wanted to make some cash so I can afford some nice enchants for the weapons I had gotten the previous night. Right now im sitting on about 150 gold. (I still owe Krawl 100g, I haven’t forgotten about you) I want to put a "Mongoose" enchant on my tanking weapon and “Savagery” on the DPS axe I got. Roughly these enchants will cost me about 300-350 gold a piece. I log on and the guild isn’t running anything so I set out to do some quests for cash(as Prot Spec). I really hate the idea of having to spend 60 gold on a respect to fury just so I can quest. If I repec to fury sure I can kill things much much faster but then I have to complete 3-4 quests just to make up the money for the respec in the first place. Then I have to make enough to respec back to prot so I can tank effectively in raids, so that’s another 2-3 quests. If I keep switching back and forth every week that’s 7-8 quests I have to do just to make up the difference of the respecs. I decided not to respec and see how the night goes. Prot spec means I do absolutely no damage, I mean it’s embarrassing. Here is a screen shot of the damage I do verse a level 66 mob duel wielding the two new weapons I had gotten. Even my executes are pathetic, at level 60 with an arms build I was getting executes between 4-6k regularly in MC. How did last night go for me? I completed 3 quests, which took all night because it takes forever for me to kill one mob. I run into trouble when I get a pat on me, since im prot I hardly take any damage but since I can’t hardly kill anything they get to hit on me forever. Am I not paying attention and that’s why im getting multiple mobs on me? No im constantly trying to keep away from multiple mobs, the problem is im there so long I get respawns! I died a few times causing myself a 22gold repair bill. Turning in the 3 completed quests plus vendoring the junk earned me about 40 gold for the night. Questing for a few hours for 18 gold = not worth it. I guess this weekend ill try the respec route, at least that way I can enjoy some BG’s and Arena’s before I have to go back to prot. Repair bill for the night: 22 gold
