I enjoyed the ending of the video, in which Wowcrendor addresses some meta issues with his videos. I hadn't really seen anyone complain about his endings, but I guess those complaints must have happened. I applaud Wowcrendor for his self-aware humor.

this actually sums up how i felt about most of the alts i rolled till... lemme think.
i hated all my alts till i rolled a shaman, then i hated all the alts i made till after patch 4 and made a warrior for fun, then a rogue, then a hunter.
and after a year of sitting around till he got re-made, my DK wound up being the most fun and became my primary character.
i STILL to this day can't get into leveling a priest, no matter what i do.

36 deleted Paladins (and counting) none past level 20.
12 deleted Mages. I now have a level 69 Mage gathering dust.
7 deleted Priests. Currently have a level 20 Priest gathering dust.
2 Max level and 1 level 40ish Warrior.
1 Max level and 1 level 74 Warlock.
1 Max level and 1 level 26 Shaman.
1 Max level and 1 level 39 Rogue.
1 Max level Druid, Death Knight, and Hunter.
I have the Alt-itis pretty bad.

natsumi:
yeah, you might want to look into altaholics anonymous :P
i set myself up a semi-strict 'no repeats' policy.
though i DO have two paladins, but one's going to be dedicated as holy and the other one tank/dps. the problem with a triple-role class. i will NOT duplicate druids. i'm meh on getting healed by them, and after sampling it, i do NOT want to heal as one.

Repeating is part of the fun!
That way you can have Horde and Alliance every class.
Me...I have four druids because each race makes a different looking kitty and I must be a kitty. XD
Warlocks are the class I can't seem to level. I have created and deleted about 10 of them.

I hate creating alts because I have to come up with a witty name for it. And when I do, it's usually already taken or requires 13 characters or something and I get so upset at it that I quit and go back to doing my mundane dailies.

lol...yeah.
Worst part about leveling alts is you get them all the way to the end game even doing holidays and randomly getting crazy lucky (aka - Aeonaxx) and then you think to yourself..."There is no way I'm going to gear up a non-main! That's more painful than leveling."
And then you start a new alt. -_-
The max level alt graveyard is a very big plot of land.

Totally agree. There is nothing more painful in this game than gearing a non-main. It was alright in Wrath. But now, if I have to do another troll heroic I just might end my life.
And this also what prevents me from leveling alts too. Every new level is a level closer to end-game...and closer to heroics..and then to troll heroics. The dread of knowing I will have to worry about end-game overpowers the enjoyment I get from leveling any alts.

Right. I think your name fits all your posts recently. You're acting like he's insulting us, when we only 'applaud' because, well, it's true.
zweitblom Oct 7th 2011 3:15PM
...and you are some low level Troll alt. Let me guess... some disgruntled druid with purplegreenpuke hair?

Poor ol' Billy!

Thats why blizzard needs to follow Diablo 3 trend and make it account bound , rep, achvs, mounts should be account bound , it is sad to think that after i hit level 85 i have to grind rep all over again with a bunch of factions for enchants and gear pieces sigh, not to mention cool stuff that you lost when u change your main, ohh how i miss my Kara mount that i had in my pally .

I love your insightful comments so much you have no idea.

Oh silly Wowcrendor, but you can change Tauren skin color for free! :D

That just made me want to roll an alt. :|
