Breakfast Topic: Doncha hate it when...

by Mike Schramm Aug 5th 2008 at 8:00AM

...you're doing a collection quest and you don't understand why the widgets aren't dropping -- until you realize you're grinding in the wrong area?

And doncha hate it when you're just a few pulls away from finishing an instance when your main tank says, "Sorry guys, I've got to go, I didn't realize it was so late"?

And doncha hate it when you finally grab that last pig's spleen, turn around to head back to the quest hub -- and walk right into an elite who sends you back for a corpse run?

And doncha hate it when you go to turn in a quest after leaving an instance run... and then realize you left the quest item back on the last boss' corpse?

I mean doncha? What else do you hate in game?

Multiple spawn locations ftw.

Doncha hate when you are doing a quest and the drops never happen only to realize you are still in the raid group from last night.

Doncha hate when you are skilling up a gathering profession only to realize you maxed out and need to train the next level and the past hour gathering herb/ore/fish were for nothing.

I'm just sayin'

Doncha hate it when you run BRD on your rogue alt four nights in a row and General Angerforge drops the leggings three times and the chest piece on the fourth run when all you ever came to BRD for was the Lord General's Sword!!!! DROP IT ALREADY YOU STUPID FREAKING OLD DWARF!!!

oh, sorry.

Forgetting badges on that last boss...

...when you get ganked on an escort quest.

When you've just put stuff on the AH and do a search to check that you've undercut everybody else only to find someone else has undercut you while you were making the 20 auctions - didn't even get a chance to leave the AH!!

Settle in for a nice long period of playing time and then realise the servers are down for Maintenance.

I hate it in BGs when team mates cry out for healing, but always seem to ignore the enemy attackers trying to take out the healers. /sigh

Don't you hate it when you were so full of life, thinking that you are going to be at least a good player in WoW and you go off on your own to do your quests and enjoy the content, only to have wave after wave of gankers kill you again and again and again, causing you to have resentment for the game and question yourself as to why you are paying $15 a month when you cannot even play the game?

Don't you hate it how you are trying to get one item from a faction but you have to go through the same dungeon again and again and again tto the point where you know every strategy with any combination of group classes, just to gain rep with them, even though you did every quest they have in existence (excluding the repeatable quests) and that only took you 50% or 75% on Friendly?

Don't you hate how you are not allowed to enjoy the content, even though you love the story but you do not have the strongest gear and you have a family, work, and/or school so you cannot devote the time to raid until 4am, thus you miss out on the gear to progress and actually be a part/watch the rejection of Kil'jaeden and the only way to enjoy this content is to watch other people do it through videos, without you spending 15$ a month to actually try to be part of it?

1. Play on a PvE server
2. What faction are you talking about?
3. Come back for WotLK

1) I am not QQing about playing a PvP Server that I would turn around and go to a PvE Server. I just want to come home after work and school, sit down and enjoy leveling my lv 40 mage without having to contend against 20 geared out lv 70s, because there is a difference between PvP and Harassment.

2) I am thinking in my head the Cenarion Expedition Rep where I have to go through Steamvaults again and again and again just to get Exalted with them so I can have My Major Nature Resistance potion Recipe

3) And I will!

I hate it when stupid people make stupid mistakes in-game that they could have avoided if they weren't too lazy to read, and then whine about it in a public venue that I happen to peruse.

Karl Aug 5th 2008 9:26AM

I'm sure we all feel your agony. I'll call the police snipers to take out the guy with the gun to your head forcing you to read this soul-scarring topic! Stay strong, mook!

Doncha hate it when people QQ about QQ?

Even worse: doncha hate it when people who are too full of themselves to have a sense of humor deride those of us who do?

Making self-deprecating, humorous banter about stuff is called "having a good attitude" about life.

Lev M. Aug 5th 2008 10:34AM

peruse: examine or consider with attention and in detail;
It does NOT mean to browse quickly through something :P (though commonly misused as such)

shoemanchris Aug 5th 2008 9:23AM

doncha hate random whispers from lower level non-guildies wanting you to boost them around DM/SF/Whatever, while you are trying to focus on the the trash before Loot Reaver!

Doncha hate when, after a night of repair bills, you leave the raid party to grind some girlfriend rep... and they finally put down the new boss next run!

Ditto raid group/questing, ditto dailies/no quest, ditto ditto ditto

Easy to see why we are all addicted, /sigh
