One of the things that has kept me continuously interested in WoW for almost 2 years is how many different things one can do to keep the throws of boredom away. The only time I have ever been fed up with playing was when I was in the middle of a level and had nothing to do to get to the next level but grind. That really sucks, but only if your single-minded goal is getting to the next level.
I consider myself to be an intellectual gamer. By that, I mean that even when I’m relaxing by playing a game, I’m not brain-dead. I am constantly figuring out better ways to play, new things to do, and basically trying to know everything possible about the game. Some people just play to have fun, but for me playing with intent is fun.
Here are some of the many things I have done to stay on top of my game:
- Game mechanics
- Instances
- Quests
- Professions
- Auction Hall profiteering
- Powerleveling
- Guild-leading
- Blogging about WoW
- Giving in to my inner alt-aholic
- Trying both PvP and PvE
Right now, Huntr is at 50 and getting bored with Tanaris, so he’s camping out Humar the Pridelord again and will move to Blasted Lands to try a shot at Grubber (I think that’s his name). I hear he has a 36-48 hour respawn, but at least he has a limited range, too.
The powerleveling is wearing me down because of the lack of content to my posts lately. So… I’m making it official:
Would any of you, my dear, fine readers, mind if I stopped my powerleveling at level 50 and we’ll just know that I can get to 50 really fast and have huge kahonas for not running instances for 50 levels? Man, I missed SM, RFD, and Maradon. That makes me somewhat sad, and I don’t want to miss out on BRD or UBRS/LBRS.
sweet its fine with me ๐
Hey i’m ok with it if your ok with it. Which one is grubber is he the giant ogre down towards the south.
Heh heh, no silly. You can’t tame ogres. He’s a boar up South of the Alliance post in the North. Between there and the unkillable dude that you whack forever.

Woohoo no more Jaines carp pimpin. I do think that if you had the time to dedicate that you could get the same time as Jaine no problem. It would just take practice just like it did him. No doubt the end times were after many attempts and failures, we only see the juicey innards of the times played.
I am 600g away form a epic flyer,mount and training, then i can start the grind for neatherdrake for dragon. If I can get all the chores needed done this weekend i might be able to knock out that by monday. Definatly i will have an epic by next weekend. 600g in one week is cake, in 3 days…..a little bit of a challenge.
Deadr is sitting on almost 700g and my Velen toons have almost 200g, after Huntr spent 90g a few levels back on his mount.
New post up…now you can bask in the glory of my PVP crapiness.
Oh I thought you were camoing a rare to kill not tame my bad.
