I hate it when they arrive to serve you, and they are laughing. Well, giggling. Obviously something has happened that has tickled them, but do they share… no. Do they stop laughing and respect the customer… no. Do they continue to snigger and forget all the please and thankyou’s that I expect… yes they do that!
The course of action:Ignore them, carry on about you business (getting your card/cash out), and then under your breath as you walk away… “fag”.
What you want to do:Ask the clerk what he’s laughing about, when he just giggles and says “nothing” you punch him in the throat, grab him by his head, drag him over the counter, throw him into the confectionary display, stand him back up, kidney punch - kidney punch…… KIDNEY PUNCH, throw him through the window, pull him by the hair to the petrol pump, and fill him up with as much fuel as it takes for his eyes to pop out. Then ask him again, what was so funny.
Whoah, repressed anger!!!!
But I do so hate giggling petrol station clerks…. grrrr.
Eye of the Storm
It was bonus honor weekend for Eye of the Storm, and I had 15 minutes before I was going to log and decided to drop in and see what it was all about - as its the only BG I haven’t tried yet.
I’m not sure I understood really what was going on. There was a flag, a couple of rooms, and alot of mass carnage - which was enjoyable. I held my own, used a lot of Bestial Wrath, targetted priests and busy mages, and threw in quite a bit of steady shot > arcane shot > steady shot and it was pretty effective.
I got to drop a few traps on chasers, and generally be a pain in the ass… but I got to the end and thought to myself “what was the goal?”
The admition of a guy who just spent 15 minutes chasing people around and shooting arrows when perhaps at least some of the time could have been spent realised the objective and help staving the overwhelming defeat!
Good fun though, but I do think its time to review strategies for battleground and stop focus’ing explicitily on just dropped fools!

Addon: Rating Buster
How do people survive without it? Install this addon, and when you hover over a piece of gear - along with all the information from the item and auctioneer (if you have it installed) comes a break down of how this piece of kit affects your stats compared to the equivalent piece of whatever you’re wearing. If its better you get positive green numbers - if its worse you get negative red. What could be simpler! You can even confiure it to show you the specific stats you’re interested in (for me normally Health (stam), Crit (agility and crit rating), Mana (intellect).
So if I have my Hunting Spear on (its enchanted with a +25 agility as well as its already awesome crit strike rating), and hover over the Sonic Spear I can see that it pwns most of my stats except for crit. Which is minor. So is it a good investment? Yeah sure. Its an upgrade.
Now take this example and consider everytime you nervously hover over the Buyout button on a new piece of kit.
“It ‘looks’ like it should improve my agility over that other bow I have equiped, but I might lose damage because this one has a crit strike increase. Shouldn’t be much though….er, er…. DAMMIT AUCTION HOUSE HAVE MY GOLD I MUST KNOW!!!”.
Then the agony of:
“OH C’MON!!! - its killed my crit rating and the agility increase is nothing!! waaahhhhh” /wrists
Not with rating buster! Its got the info on hover, and you can make an informed decision based on math not gut feeling (or even worse, writting everything down and calculating it, and blah blah *math=snore*
And what’s better than finding a bit of kit in the wild and getting the all clear from rating buster that you can equip it immediately and it will boost your stats…
.. nothing.
