Dear guild invite spammers:
( Snip snap )
P.S. Dear Dear_Gnome, does anybody actually RUN an invite-all-available-warm-bodies guild, or are they a member of one? Does the carpet bombing strategy of inviting actually work all that well in building some kind of cohesive community, or are the results just a glorified chat room filled with perk moochers? |

Dear first character,
( Little screenshot. )
Hi there! /o/
It's been a while.
When I was going through a 1-month layoff, my brother said, "You need to play WoW. You'd love it." I said I needed some real incentive to play a dumb online game, so he had me watch him play for a bit, and my jaw dropped to the floor to see other people running around.
"Are those PLAYERS?" I asked. "REALLY?" Shoar'nuff they were! I was amazed. And then he told me that in a month or so, when the next expansion came out (Burning Crusade), that there would be these cool new races, and one was a blue-skinned alien with horns.
"Horns?" I asked. "Like a steer? There better be hooves!"
He assured me that they had hooves. I was amazed. Wowed. Excited. Right before I was laid off, I ran out to buy BC.
And on the character creation screen, I got to pick a class. How do you pick, right? There were so many to choose from! There were shaman with their totems, druids, rogues, ugh. But I knew I had to be a draenei and I finally settled on you, First Character. I named you Kesia. And I took you out into the wilds of the Cenarion Circle server. I was the confused noob who couldn't figure out why the kitties kept getting mad at me and running away. At level 29, I was tired of playing alone. My coworkers and boss (I had rolled CC to play with them) were hardly on when I was, and so I moved you over to Lothar to play with my siblings. I had to rename you. I thought, "This name will never be taken, lolz," after trying 20 other names I wanted. (That is, of course, when the name is NOT taken and you end up with it!) So you became Candlelight. Then, years later, I was bored again, and I moved you to Bronzebeard to play with Daughters of the Alliance. I named you Kenyon after an old original character of mine. And then, I got bored, so I moved to Arathor, where I got the name Kesia back.
There you saw love and attention for a few months, but bored and tired of playing alone, again, I moved to Wyrmrest Accord--Horde. I had a lot of fun Horde-side, but I am not a Horde person. The races are fun, but they're not me, you know? I capped out two hunters, one an orc, one a blood elf, but it wasn't the same. I made my resto shaman my main.
I rolled alts Alliance-side also, but it wasn't until the other day that I thought, you know what? I'm moving you, First Character. I'm moving you to Wyrmrest Accord where you will be loved and played. So I did. I gave you the name Jenevieve because I suck at naming, and then I queued for dungeons. And topped DPS charts. And it was BACK. The love for my first-ever character.
I even transmogged your gear. I hope you like it. :3
Love,
Your Player, who is a draenei at heart always and forever!
PS. Other "first characters"-- I miss you. I loved playing you. I haven't forgotten my laughable first attempts and deaths questing with a mage (me) and warrior (my sister) combo. LOL. <3 Here's to hoping I get to play all of you, too, someday. |

Dear Firelands raid group,
Thank you all for coming and being supportive throughout the first run. We definitely learned a lot of the do's and don'ts of raiding. I want to that you all for your input and patience.
Though the raid was "interesting" and the afk/dissapearance of one of our raiders halted our raid, it was great to meet you all and have a ton of laughs.
For our next raid, I will definitely tell our GL that if he pulls out his hog while in the raid again, he will owe me and his deceased passenger 300g a piece.....like that will happen....
Again, thank you so much. As our first attempt at a raid I am not entirely disappointed. Though I do wish we were able to get farther, I am content with the knowledge I and some others have gained.
For those who joined us, I hope you will come with us again, perhaps next time we can all make the machine that is the raid group work together efficiently to succeed in the raid.
Again, I cannot thank you all enough.
~Your mentally exhausted yet very happy tank~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Warlock who leaned on her keyboard, pulled the boss, and wiped us all,
Epic hilarity. Thank you. You rock.
~Your amused tank~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edited to add funny moment from raid :D |

Kamizaka of Moon Guard... seriously? REALLY?
You weren't so much fail as inexplicably rude. Our tank was fine. He was -more- than fine. He was pulling at a level he was comfortable with, the wipe was my fault because I was distracted by an IM and thusly out of range to heal him.
Whining about him 'pulling too much' and 'being reckless' to the point where he dropped the group is why we have no good tanks at the higher levels. Being smart to me when I asked WTF your problem was earned you an /ignore. (For the record, we had one wipe in a mid 70s dungeon. Up until that point everything was -fine- the dps weren't even taking splash damage)
I really hope one day you have a rectal-stickectomy.

Dear other people,
You chose your spec, and I've chosen mine. I honestly don't give a rat's ass if it's the "best" spec or not, it's the one I wanted to play and the one I will play.
No, I'm not going to switch specs to Demonology simply because you say it's better than Destruction. I like Destruction and find Demonology boring. Nor will I reroll, uninstall, or kill myself for not acquiescing to your demands.
Hey, shaman who kept yammering about kicking me because I'm Beast Mastery and not Survival! I almost wish I could see your face when you got kicked for not only being a nuisance but failing to do your job as a healer. Besides, I know you're just jealous of my pretty lazerkitty.
Yes, I know Unholy can do better DPS than Frost. Quit whispering me about it. I'm still pulling my weight, and in fact, my off-spec is Unholy. I just don't feel like using it right now. Don't get butthurt and shower me with abuse when I say so. We're still gogogoing through the dungeon quickly enough, I'm not holding you back.
I honestly don't care what spec anyone else is, with the exception of tanks and healers being in the proper specs for the job. Neither should you.
No love,
Me and all my alts. |

Dear Sesh... S... Sech... that one healer from LFR the other day from Hydraxis-US,
Look, dude. I'm a bear. I am very defensive about my tanking. I'm geared and I stack dodge and I love tanking and omgsomuchfun. I like being told when I make mistakes so I can fix them. I have all the stuff I ever need from LFR for MS and some 397 pieces from when my guild WAS doing DS. If you had inspected me, you would know this. I wouldn't mind, it might make me feel good! I was tanking LFR for a guildie so they didn't have to go alone. Fun times, right?
Nope.
You start yelling at us for not going fast enough on Morchok trash. ...yeah, okay. You have fun with that. Then we don't kill Morchok fast enough for your tastes, and afterward you have to spam ALL THE METERS.
Dude, you're a healer. Healer. HEALER.
Then you start insulting the TANKS. As if insulting the dps wasn't bad enough, I kinda wanted to just let the boss eat you. But that's okay, I didn't have to let him go, because YOU WENT BEAR AND STARTED TANKING ALL THE THINGS. IN HEALY GEAR.
...I kinda stared trying to figure out how in the world... this was happening. You kept taunting off of me. Protip: I cannot take aggro 100% off of you unless you stop taunting. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. I say something in raid chat and you have some nice pretty words for me, to which I respond nicely to let you know that you queued as heals, and I am a tank, and so I want to do my job but you're making it hard. You start chainpulling, still insulting me and the rest of the group (pretty sure by now we're on real other tank #2 or 3) and when the group catches on and tells you to cut it out, you yell at them more.
See, here's the thing - I made sure to try to avoid saying a rude thing to you, because when you awaken the viper's nest that is LFR, you need to have leverage on your side. You were being super rude, and so the vipers struck at you. When you realized you were going to be kicked, you pulled the boss after the last trash pack died. You hit the floor immediately. Someone rezzed you (DUDE, WHY) and then the tanks let the boss eat you again.
We downed Zon'ozz anyway. HAH.
We all kicked you and a ton of us reported you after you ran ahead to Yorsahj stuff and pulled him, wiping half the group - the rest of us stayed behind like raid chat was yelling, so only half died, including the new other tank, to whom we then had to explain the situation to. XD
I just want to know why someone would BOTHER griefing an LFR like that. How bored are you?! I mean, really?! D:
Really confused, but I made some new friends who I then tanked Fall for :D WHICH WAS THE MOST INTENSE FALL OF DEATHWING EVER. DDDDDD:
Never understanding random weird troll people of evil,

Dear Horde in my Battlegroup, in Isle of Conquest,
Y'all need to learn how to use a compass!
The Horde base is in the north, Alliance in the south. So when you burst out of the gates to try and get the Workshop, you're going south. When you call out East Gate, that means, while going south, you turn left.
I understand if you mean "Your East" but that's not the same as "Stage Left" and Right. Then again, not everyone is going to be facing the same direction as the person calling out what gate to hit. Some of us go to the Hangar, or the Refinery, but then again, I guess most of us are facing south anyways.
Maybe it's my fault since I have the little N on the top of my mini-map. But it can't be just me since I've seen so many games where our forces are hitting both east and west gates.
I swear Blizz named the gates as just "Alliance Gate" as a subtle way to troll groups. Maybe we just need a better system of communicating what gate exactly, cause this shit isn't working out.
West = Your East = Stage Left = Right = 3 O'clock
East = Your West = Stage Right = Left = 9 O'clock
I don't think that's gonna work either.
Also... what's the deal of getting the hangar if half of you are just going to jump into a base full of alliance? If everyone got on a gun and focused one gate, we'd take it down in 2-3 passes, without bombs or sieges. |
