Public Reactions? LOL!

[SonyUSA]

What sort of reactions do you usually get on first impression from other players when they see you?

75% of the time, I get "LOL!". 20% of the time is 'WTF', and the other 5% are random things, including 'reported' and comments about botting.

What about you guys?

I'd have to say it's 40% "LOL", 40% "WTF", 8% "Lol they all look alike, how'd you do that?", 1 % people interested, and 1% people bad mouthing.

What about the other 10%?

On Argent Dawn (EU) I would guess it is fairly evenly divided between:

• WTF / LOL
• Is that one player / how do you do that - if they ask nice, they get a nice/long explanation and a /dance
• Very nice / congrats - I do get some very complimentary whispers :thumbup:
• Bot! Reported! Lame! etc - they get a "Welcome to /ignoresville, population you!" in return

A few people have friended me and keep in touch, wave or even ask for help, which I'm perfectly happy to provide if it's my zone.

Had some days where it's all good and some where it's all bad... you never know what sort of day you're going to have.

hmm for me it's:

30% "lol"
20% "wtf"
40% "cool!" and "cool, how do you do that?"
5% reported

and then random stuff..

had one person say "5 shamans? How original! NOT!" to which I could only bring myself to reply.. "Shiet, thanks for telling me. I'm off to make some new characters in that case.."
I just don't get how they think originality fits into this.. There were pioneers, and now most of us are disciples. It's done for fun, noting more.

although when ppl ask me why does everyone use 4/5 shammies I normally reply "you mean besides them being the coolest class in WoW? :P" and then go into explaining the mechanics etc and how they really rule for boxing

so far I have to say my experiences have been 99% positive and ppl really interested in boxing. of course that changes when you go anywhere near a BG :S

I did a test with two draenei shamans to see how it all worked.

I had someone come up and rp with me.... did that for a while. Then I ran off... My alt character got whispered by this person asking why I was following my other character. Told her I was the same person and she thought it was cool.

I'm going to be multiboxing 3 existing 70's shortly - hunter, shaman and lock. It will be interesting to see if i am picked up as being a multiboxer. No synchronised totem dropping for me on these.

I will of course start levelling my 3 identical shamans and compare the reactions.

Thing is on the server I'm on you see such idiocy and lack of respect for others in Trade chat, general chat and battleground chat that I've long since learnt to ignore it. The morons are always the most vocal, and if you didn't think about the silent majority of people that are decent you might just want to give up on humanity

I won't deign to answer the stupid ones - However 3-5 /fart will get the message over I think.

I recall my first Warsong Gulch around level 17 (was alliance then, moved to Smolderthorn/Horde now). Some guy kept yelling for the shamans to spread out and heal people, which I told him I couldnt because i was controlling them all (others piped up and said the same thing). Near the end (of course we lost, alliance sucks :O) he goes "i hope that guy realizes what a stupid idea it was to do that in here". The end screen pops up and guess who has the most kills? XD

Edit: Oops not Warsong Gulch, I meant Arathi Basin

What about the other 10%?

I miss the other 10% because I get wife/kid(s) aggro or am off getting more coffee. 8)

[Oatboat]

50% WTF - 30 % Wow - 10% can i group with you - 5% get a life 5% i hope you like paying that much per month

On US-Mag I have yet to receive a negative comment, surely because The Zerg already has a widespread good reputation. Meanwhile when I originally rolled my group on Lothar I was slammed every day. Its been a refreshing change. I give all the credit to the the "Zergers" who have come before me.
