An alternative cross faction 'business' idea ...

Lol awesome. Great to read when experimental stuff like that actually works out. Amazing that people actually spend that much gold on a pet lol.

I always somewhat asumed people know how to use wowhead. But that seems far from the case. I always have a wowhead tab open in firefox on my second screen and search for anything i need to know. very helpful.

It is actually amazing how people copy behavior from other people. As a multiboxer you even have more 'influence' I noticed. Maybe because you have some 'coolness' status when people see 5 of you, i don't know. But a few simple harmless things i like to do now and then:

- find a word, and then use that for a few days in an ad in trade. My word was 'decent'. So I wrote in /2 now and then: (tank lf decent icc 25m pug, ... or ... ele shaman with decent dps lf decent icc 10 group, etc). After a couple of days you see how other people start to use 'decent' in their ads. Even raiding guilds were looking for 'decent raiders'. Not because that was 'me' and i'm so cool that used the word, just because they saw it in a certain context. (btw, i'm aware that the fact that i picked 'decent' as a word can be influenced by something else like a movie, a website i just saw, ...i.e. that its not my free choice either)
- I got me a travellers tundra mount today. It's been a while since i saw one in orgrimmar. More than half of my online time (if not more) i spend just standing in towns as i'm busy with work/whatever. So now i'm mounted on my travellers mount on main and 4 alts are around him on a bear. I can guarantee you that if i do this for a day or 2, more people will come to orgrimmar on their travellers tundra mount. Not saying more people will buy one, but the ones having it certainly will mount it more often. They might consider it a status symbol and since one is already doing it, they are fine to do it as well.
- I don't have many mounts, but if i decide to stand their on my mammoths i got from wg shards, you can be sure that more people will mount that one as well.
- equip the onyxian whelpling, ... more and more people will equip their companion as well. and because one will equip a rare on, another player has to top that

I like those silly little things where you try to play the mind of people without them realizing. It's basically how the whole GS hype works: people see others using it, and whenever they try to form a pug they use it as well, without thinking.
