Breakfast Topic: What won't you do?

It's a bit of a superstition that I developed after a beloved pet (a rabbit) died in real life shortly after I'd killed a rabbit in game. I should point out that I'm fully cognizant of the fact that my killing a digital rabbit in no way, shape or form actually harmed my real life bunny. It's simply not something I want to do ever since it happened. I don't want or need to believe in any sort of causal link to simply find it unpleasant to hear their little death screams in game.
I've gone so far as to kill a flagged player I had no interest in PvPing beforehand just because he killed a squirrel outside the Darkmoon Faire grounds.
I also generally won't gank lowbie players. If a toon isn't within at least 3 levels of me, it's just not sporting (as far as I'm concerned) and I don't see the point. I actually even rolled a horde toon on my old alliance server back in the days of Crossroads raids and geared him as best I could in BG gear just so I could attack my own guildmates (and let them know I was doing it) for raiding XR.
So now, how about you? What won't you do? Run lowbies through instances, twink, roll a warrior, what is that thing in game you're just never going to give a try?

You grind a year for a 30% flight increase? Talk about a very long shortcut.

My guildies spend a lot of time on the holiday achievements... I just don't find them entertaining.
I figure after I've killed Arthas on hard mode, gotten Gladiator in the Arenas, and leveled every class to 80, I'll think about holiday achievements. (None of these goals are particularly close.)

Jousting. Never again. I'll do the non-jousting dailies to grind up for the pets, but I am FINISHED with jousting.

I won't reply to people who whisper me asking for favours, what my professions are or whathaveyou if I don't know them.
Aedilhild Mar 5th 2010 9:59AM
I always respond, especially the panhandlers. It doesn't take much for them to break character.
[Character whispered]: can i have 5g?
[I whispered]: Nope!
[Character whispered]: &#*hole
[I whispered]: Heh. Deadbeat.
[Character whispered]: you know it ;]

If you have the time, do what I do to panhandlers. Give them the gold 1 Copper at a time. By the fifth copper they generally leave.
