Shared Topic: True Confessions

Over at Blog Azeroth Forums this week's shared topic idea was brought to you by Mataoka of Sugar & Blood blog. It is a very interesting topic where you can actually confess one thing you have done while playing WoW. Some may have more than just one confession, some it is actually embarassing to tell but well see how mine goes.

Matty asks: What is one thing, just one thing, you did that was pretty awful in Azeroth, that you wish you could get some kind of redemption or forgiveness for, or even just get off your chest?

Day 14: This upsets Me (Time is ticking You know!)

Hi guys, another day for 20 days WoW Blogging challenge by Saga at Spellbound. Today, I will share some bad experiences mostly in game that upsets me. I sometimes rant these things in twitter and some real life issues like living in a 3rd floor apartment and laundry room is in 1st floor without any elevator, you actually have to use the stairs yea that upsets me that kind of thing. But whatever I say there its only limited to 140characters. So now that I have the whole page to share without any limitation so here goes, hope you can relate to this.

In game what upsets me are common things like if I am leveling and I need an item for the quest, here you are trying to get into the item while killing a mob. and then suddenly someone appears from no where grabs the item! Hello Mister!? that was mine! hate it and that upsets me so bad. also when you try to cast your spell on the mob that you targetted and someone took it from you they damage more and instead it was your kill you didn't get credit because someone took it. of all the mobs in the area why took mine?? just upsets me, your in a good mood to quest and kill stuff it just ruins it when that happens it is really upsetting. I know I shouldn't be upset with these things because everyone will say it's just a game, but guess what you work your butt off and try to level and quest. Time is ticking its not like my time i spent in WoW was borrowed right? so there! of course sometimes you have the right to get upset on some things.

In raiding, I know that it could be difficult at times especially when forming a raid group and not everyone is online. It's already passed the raid time, invites was supposed to be 6pm and then everyone start to logged in at 7-8pm, it upsets me because you commit to raid and signed up for specific time and why even bother to sign up if your not logging on time? unless you notify the officer ahead of time or at least 2hours prior the raid time then it will be okay, but wasting other's people time just to wait for you is really not a good call. I also dislike players who prepare there consumables on raiding time, unless you already have mats in your bag and you can do these while waiting for others inside the zone, but still I recommend to prepare these things ahead of time.

Players who raid or even just running a 5 man dungeons should know every boss fights right? I think you should. at least some basics idea how the fight goes because seriously even before patch and running PTR's can help you study these things. there is no excuse why you wouldn't know the fights. I can totally understand if your just a 10yrs old kid who just relieved to play your Dad's toon. but not knowing the basic mechanics of the fight is just ridiculous of course whoever knows the fight had to explain it, this actually happened to me most of the time in 5 man dungeons. 

It just wonders me how the hell did you level without running a non-heroic dungeon to heroics without even knowing the fights, especially with Zul'aman and Zul'gurub these raid dungeon existed before 4.1 patch released at least you should know by now how the fight goes especially for those who actually started in Burning Crusade. In raids like when to move out of fire? seriously? you can't move your ass and end up dead, WTF are you doing? not only your wasting other players time, wiping in raid is too much and just slows down the progression. I know I may sound like a bitch but guess what thats fact. Time is ticking you know! You don't want the raid leader to keep telling you what to do during raids, you have to be prepared and know the fights so it will be a successful run.

Also, The GM Ticket upsets me big time. Not only does the service is so damn slow but cmon Blizzard you should hire more technical support, your earning millions of money to develop and create this game. We deserved to be answered faster and not wait 24-48 hours just to reply in 1 damn ticket. It is upsetting, but there is nothing you can do after submitting the ticket you either get replied in game sent to your in game inbox, or email, rarely now a days do I actually get replied to talk to a GM in game. Especially if it's an issue being hacked or gears. So Blizzard try to at hire more please that will really help reply whatever concerns or problems we having in game.

Anyway, I think you guys get the point these are things that mostly upsets me in game. It's hard to deal with players who are idiots and very inconsiderate of other players play time also voicing out your concern and problems in game to a Game Master. The clock represents That Time is Gold and we don't want to waste that because other than just playing the game we also have real lives to take care of.

Day 11: My Bad Habits and Flaws

Hi guys, another day for 20 days WoW Blogging challenge over at Spellbound. Today its about my Bad habits and flaws. My understanding on this will be either real life or in game, so I will go ahead and share both. So far though my bad habits and flaws are polished. I managed to be more organized, I also learned a lot from my Psych class about my personality.

In Real Life...

1. One of my bad habits was playing World of Warcraft too much instead of going out and be more sociable. My boyfriend always ask what my plans for the day? and I hate to say I'm raiding, besides raiding and playing I also just go to work too. but I try and spend more time with the people around me now. I know I was a baddie, I was too addicted in playing the game, so yea the big word is "Limitation".
2. I tend to get disorganized some times but at least not most of the time. I'm working on it and I am actually doing pretty good.
3. If I have to study for an exam at school, I tend to study 2days before the exam date its a bad habit, But for me whatever I read just 2days or day before the exam I do better because all the information I read about will still be in my head. I do read in advance but not as often as I used too, especially now I have a bad eye sight. and still getting used of wearing my glasses since I just got it like 2 months ago. but I am trying myself to be successful in what I do, and the results are great.

In Game...

1. I sometimes forget to use my cooldowns. but I am working on it now since I just played shadow priest after Cataclysm has released, I still yet a lot to learn how to play my class for sure.
2. Doing dailies is not a problem but sometimes I have a habit to ignore it, instead of hey! its extra profit you should do it! I know but probably I just easily get bored doing it soemtimes, but since I still have a goal to actually grind reputation from classic expansion then yea gotta work on that.
3. I am not perfect and yes I have my flaws, but that doesn't mean I am stupid and don't know how to admit my mistakes. especially in raiding if I know I fcked up then I tell the officer in whisper and I rather sit out or recieved constructive criticisms and try to fix it.

So far these are all I can think of, all of these bad habits or flaws I am working on it. It is hard to change someone's personality immediately but working on it step by step will also help, never rush and just take a deep breath too. If you missed my other Days Saga of 20 days of Wow Blogging Challenge over at Spellbound. Thanks guys and Have a good one!

Revisited Ulduar and It was Fun!

Hi guys, Today's Dailies and Achievements... as usual I finished all the daily reputation today, including cooking, fishing except I still have to run a few dungeons, but can't really dedicate all my time today in WoW because tomorrow I have my finals at school... been studying alright! Anyway, since it is obvious with my title what achievements I gotten this week it is from Ulduar 10 man. I raided with Vagrants guild this week to help them with their guild rep. and since they are running 10 man Ulduar might as well join since I needed a few achievements to complete the Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 player) achievement. So we managed to clear the bosses up until Yogg-Saron did a few times but it was getting late and we start to keep wiping and One Light Achievement is not a joke unless people know what they are doing. Anyway, here are some screenshot of achievements I got last night.

Still it was fun, revisiting the place bring back old memories when I used to run it in 25 mans with Eternal Sacrifice guild in Khaz Modan. We will finish the achievement on Monday hopefully I will finally get my Rusted Proto-Drake! Have a good one guys!
