WoW: Fun and Frustration
Mark, with his 17 Mage, went into the battleground (BG) with Mike and my 19 Hunter and Rogue for the first time Monday. Man it was fun. I’m not sure he enjoyed it, but he’s polite enough to pretend. It was different with three of us working together even if we did it poorly these first few times. Mike is getting good and, though I’m not, I’m twinked to high heaven. With the Mage’s stuff it felt like we had potential.
Sheeping people will get you some determined attention, as Mark learned a few times. Also, at 17, he was THE target of choice. We couldn’t quite get his attackers dead fast enough to save him most of the time. He did well though, coming in middle, score wise, on all three BG we ran. We also did some good work running the flag and hunting their flag carrier.
Mark has given up on his old account. Blizzard refuses to respond to his emails. We pretend it doesn’t matter, but it does. He’s been playing that account since release and now it’s all gone. While Mike and I still have all our toons, many of them are effectively dead as well as they exist only to play with Mark’s characters.
I feel like a chump continuing to give Blizzard money. I’ve put a lot of thought into what we could do instead of playing WoW. There is nothing. What chumps we are. Tomorrow is Alaska day. Not everybody celebrates that fact, I do. Maybe I’ll re-visit the list of potential candidates. Even if we only canceled our accounts for a month we’d be making a statement. I’m sure they would miss the $45 and get their act together.
