Breakfast Topic: Sorry about your nerf

I like Trixter's "silly idea" over on WoW Ladies. She says she came home the other day to a boyfriend bummed out by the Curse of Tongues nerf, and wished she had a greeting card for the occasion. Something, we'd guess, like "Sorry about your nerf. Hope you pwn soon." Funny. Which got us thinking: what other kinds of greeting cards might come in handy for WoW players?"It's a proto-drake! Congrats on your new mount!"
"Our condolences on your recent ninja attack. Here's wishing you all the best loot in the future."
"Thanks for all your help with the raid-leading! You're the best!"
"Will you BEE our Tank?" (And there's a picture of a bee on it.)
Ok, so those aren't that great. But what other ideas might Hallmark be interested in if they were designing a new line of greeting cards for you to give out to fellow players afflicted by what happens in Azeroth?

The 80th Ding would be for level 81 , so a "Congratz on having the next xpac before the rest of us"-card might be an idea ;-)
"Get moonwell soon" for tailors with the right spec that where attacked by a deathknight
And of course a "FIRST"-card would be in order for all to useless first-posters ... preferably something with dismemberment or something on that one.

The "FIRST" card would be like those cards that hold money, but it would be anthrax instead.

To Twinks on battlegrounds:
Wish you weren't here.
Axolotl Feb 12th 2009 8:15AM
To tanks and healers: "Wish you where here"
Neyssa Feb 12th 2009 8:19AM
Wish you were tank/healer
to all the fury warriors, dps deathknights, shadowpriests, etc.

To all the mages, warlocks, huntards and rogues:
CONGRATULATIONS!! You have just locked yourself into the same role, playstyle, and general utility for the forseeable future. You had better get to knowing your class very well or it will be REALLY embarrassing when fury warriors, dps DK's, ret pallies, boomkins, enhance/ele shammies, kitties, shadow priests, and various NPC's beat you on the dps meters AND provide more utility. GOOD LUCK!

tom, good point about the role - but Im fairly satisfied topping the meters as a demo lock, thx for the concern.
Neyssa Feb 12th 2009 8:11AM
Welcome to Northrend! Fight global warming (and melting :)
Its a (Blood elf paladin) girl! Congratulation on your new alt :)

"Sorry about the spirit nerf, I hope for a speedy holy pally lvling"

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Less QQ
More pew-pew.

:D
That made me smile.

For a pilote that just got his permit: AMAGADROFLCOPTER
For a student that failed a year because of playing WOW too extensively: L2P-TIME NOOB
For a rogue that is evasion-capped: "I missed you"
Asphyxior Feb 12th 2009 9:48AM
I just wish you a good-old, plain:
"Happy Burstday"
McKree Feb 12th 2009 8:45AM
I can see it now:
Hand-made Italian paper, with deep-maroon velvet stitching of a bottle of red wine, accompanied by a golden piece of cheese, underneath that, in perfect Kurrent writing, embossed with 24-carat plate gold, the words "Reroll, IMO" for all those people whining about Warriors, Priests and Shamans DPSing while playing a Mage, Rogue and Blood Deathknight on the same account.
But since that's pretty redundant, the only other thing I can think of is "Get sunwell soon" for all those new servers who have to unlock the raid content...or is that auto-open? IDK.

Oh my God, it even has a watermark.
Tythian Feb 12th 2009 2:00PM
Thats not a watermark... it's a stain from the Mage tears.
Todd Feb 12th 2009 8:58AM
"Will you BE our Tank?"
Why not, instead of a bee, have a Blood Elf.
MechChef Feb 12th 2009 8:59AM
Outside: You make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
Inside: Thx for the mage-table.
Felipe Fidelix Feb 12th 2009 9:08AM
Dude... this was one of the MOST funny post i have ever seen.
L.O.L

I couldn't think of anything more absurd. Condolence gestures for misfortune in a video game... people are getting out of touch.
