Aaand...the idiocy race is off again, as another World Event starts

[Gadzooks]

LOL. Not crying, I'm laughing at how many players logged on this morning and are fighting each other, camping NPCs to get cards and such.

I love this event, as a MB team can ring each other if heartbroken, and throw arrows and rose petals at each other.

Ironforge was'nt too bad, for grabbing guards, but Stormwind was completely ridiculous - players on epic mounts are grabbing NPCs as other players are standing there trying to talk to them. The griefing and bad manners are nothing new, which is why I skip these events, or just do them late at night, towards the end, when they've all gotten their achievements and moved on.

It's amazing how badly players treat each other, nothing brings out the worst in them than these events. That's why I just make popcorn and sit back and laugh at them fighting like little kids in a playpen.

I once did a quest in Azeroth and had a dude shout at me for stealing his loot on his server and demanding I gave him back all the drops I had found.

Ha, ha.

But no, he meant it.


Idiocy and WoW go well together.

I'm a party pooper. I tend not to do these events unless it is either really interesting, something that takes very little time, or benefits me in some way. I tagged as many elders as I could for the Lunar event because I did a lot of boosting and the rep could come in handy (total of 5625 rep if you get them all, not counting any human bonus).

I tried a little bit of this in SW this morning, but once I go turn in the last part of the quest chain, then I'm not going to bother anymore. I did very little for the Christmas event, as well.

eeeh

which event?

eeeh

which event?

"Love is in the Air" event.... for Valentine's Day.

You know, it's soon the day of the year we all have to be nice to eachother. (Valentines.)

I hate valentines tbh. Would rather be nice to each other 364 days a year, and assing one day we all hate eachother instead.

All these celebrations and special days and mothersday, fathersday, valentines, tons of other stuff. Seriously, all a load of hypocritical bullshit!

But ofcourse for saying that I'm suddenly Mr. bad guy. :<
Bitter taste of irony. :P

All the chicks go for the rebels. Just don't shower anymore and put on clothes that haven't been washed in about a week, and you could be a TV star these days.

I'm very fond of my cleanliness, however. O_o

My 2 female gnomes should totally do "Love's In The Air". They exchanged Christmas presents too! Albeit a little late...

I agree with you that we should honor the sentiments that these holidays represent year round, but I don't see that the holidays themselves are hypocritical or bad (unless you consider how a lot of them are kind of pushed on us by retailers and we're not "doing it right" unless we're spending money or whatever). Treating your mother/father/loved one/gradpappy/pet/mailman/whatever well year round and having one particular day in which you honor them doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. I mean I think most of us appreciate the contributions that folks like Martin Luther King or the soldiers that fight for us make to us, and when we think of them we are usually glad, but having one day to kind of remind us of what they did and their sacrifices and honoring that doesn't detract from our thankfulness for the rest of the year. (at least for me anyways, I'm scatter brained and a little reminder never hurt me any)

but yeah, I agree with you that though if we had to choose between the two, I'd go with being nice to those individuals year round also. I just dont think the two have to be mutually exclusive.
