Thursday night, I’m in Stormwind, and I get a /whisper “Hello fellow Tampanian.” Now if that doesn’t get your attention in-game, nothing will. A few exchanges later, I find out it’s a guy who reads my blog almost every day, and I even guessed which of the 2 companies he works for because of the SiteMeter logs. It was pretty cool. He put up a blog so he could join our bloggers’ guild. His toon is Gnomicidal, and we’ll give him props up on the link list when he gets some game content going for this toon. Glad to have you on board.
I logged in Saturday morning and started to grind to get some levels in before our guild run. I hit level 17 in Redridge and 18 during the run.
Backtracking a bit, I was in Redridge on Friday and noticed a Call To Arms post about a mage wanting to go to DM, so I answered with my lvl, class, and interest in going. I joined his group, and 3 seconds later, he said, “nm, I’m going to do BGs instead,” and left the group… of 2. So there I am on a grif to Westfall for nothing. I get there and decided to take out some gnolls to finish my paws quest, and he invites me and, lo, there is a lvl 27 warrior in the group. Hot ding dog, I started running for Moonbrook. I met up with the warrior and we ran in to start killing. Here is where it gets good.
We get aรย /whisper from the mage saying to wait until he got done with the BGs to go in. I mouse over his profile and saw that he was in WSG. Smithey replied that we were just going to clear the way to the instance. I made out pretty good on the loot and greens. He said he was the guy’s guildie and that this was a 5th request to help him out. After Smithey told him twice that he only had a few minutes before quitting on the mage, I told the idiot to be more considerate of this group and hearth out and get his butt down here. A minute or so later, he left the group, so I asked Smithey if he wanted to continue, and he said he was so pissed, he wanted to take it out on the elites in the instance. I was all for that. We killed the goblin shredder and into the spiral goblin room before he decided to get on with his life. That was sure fun, because I actually had to heal him and he had to rip agg back off me when I would crit heal on him.
Back to Saturday, we had a bit of a hiccup in forming the group. There were 6 of us online; less than 2 groups, but more than we could take in. It became quite the “hmmm…what do we do to be fair” discussion.
More in the morning.
