WoWhead is an interesting resource and I have enjoyed going through it. It is not 100% as I still have trouble with a few quests despite their information. One of those is taking the package to Lake Mohan. I have no idea how to get there, even after reading their explanation.
The aspects of strategy they show and the level of group tactics are something I have not found. I do, however, have someone who answers my questions when she is online. Whiteplague is an elf rogue. She talked me into dueling with her. I was pissed and just stood there without doing anything. Then I explained my feelings about duels. She then challenged again and let me whomp her. At the time, I was 1 lvl below her, 25 to her 26. Now, I’m a shade away from lvl 30 and she’s still at 26.
Adem is another I like playing with. He is in a timezone two hours later than Eastern US. I have no idea where that puts him. He made me some really cool armor as a gift.
I read the manual and I still miss things. I kept thinking that I had to get patterns before I started making stuff out of leather. Then I learned that I had gotten the basic patterns with my apprenticeship. Now, I’m grinding certain areas to make up for lost time.
There is no real sense of community that I have found so far on world of warcraft. So far I have only found a single person that I liked playing with.
Most of the time, no one stops to think. I was kicked out of a group I was in briefly because they decided that I was not committed enough, maybe even a pansy or something. The leader was a lvl 42, I am sitting at 27, and there was an 18 lvl paladin and a 17 lvl something or other. They went into a very confusing dungeon, doing the usual heedless rush and getting killed. The farther down into the dungeon you get, the more difficult and annoying it is to get your body back. I suggested that the lvl 18 and lvl 17 ought to try something easier and got shafted as a result.
I’m a bad person for addressing the obvious.
The lvl 18 was with a different lvl 23 priest, and they could not figure out how to get the mine quest, and they almost decided not to go after the Defias Messenger. Without getting the messenger and the traitor quests, you come to a deadend on the main storyline. I showed them where to do both of those.
Another couple of folks I ran with briefly were gripping about the zombie plague, yet they kept rushing headlong into the towns without first checking them out along the edges. And I was a bad person for suggesting that they slow down.
Another point that no one wished to listen to was that no one was getting any points on the mine. Why?
Well according to the rule book, if the leader is too many lvls above the rest, they only get points when she/he scores a monster on their own lvl. There is a five level rule.
Which makes me wonder if anyone but me bothers to read the bloody rules.
It’s my birthday and I’m frustrated.
I finally ended up with a key quest that I could not do solo. It requires bodyguarding this traitor to the secret entrance to the hideout. Now, I have wiped out that town three or four times. I have gone all the way to the end of the mine and back without dying. But can I bodyguard the damned traitor? No. I can’t keep him alive that long and I don’t get the next quest until I can.
I put up a group wanted sign. I’m not happy about it. I prefer doing things solo. However, I’m stuck.
And to top it all off, WoW is offline until 2PM my time so I can’t go back and see if I have any takers on it.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, RAINGODS!
