Won’t Somebody PLEASE think of the honor grind
May 4th, 2009
This screenshot pretty much sums up my Children’s Week battleground experience:
Whoever thought it was a good idea to encourage carebear retards into battlegrounds in the name of nerd points needs to be thrown in shark-infested water and shot repeatedly. If the sharks happen to have swine flu, I won’t complain.
EDIT: The WowInsider Commentary is pretty spot on, IMO.
EDIT2: And Scott Jennings says it even more eloquently.
Us carebears aren’t thrilled about it either. I went into that BG once, went to the center, picked up the flag, and didn’t get credit in the Achievement. As the unofficial Napoleon of the BG started screaming at me in chat, I realized that there was more I had to do. With no clue where to go, I dropped the flag and /afked out of the BG.
So as much as my presence irks the pvp crowd, I am seeing months of work toward the proto-drake go to waste. There is no way I’ll get that achievement.
I agree, they’re just poorly thought-out achievements. The WSG and EoTS ones especially so, since they typically result in your entire team doing the same thing, which does not work well in those battlegrounds.
I guess the only saving grace is that the opposing faction teams are mostly doing the same thing.
I lol’d
That’s so very nuke ready.
You have nukes in Warworld of Crafts right?
@pchow
I thought you would – we’re essentially being griefed by the developers, it’s exactly the kind of thing you’d appreciate!
@SCdF
Needs more World of Starcraft.
On the flip side, it makes it really easy to get them with so many clueless people running around.
Got all the achievements sans YM in ~2hours on my less than PvP ready shaman.
Also, your new spam plugin is 100% more obtrusive than Stefan’s =(
Is it really that obtrusive? All you have to do is enable javascript and you shouldn’t even notice it’s there, unless I somehow misconfigured it.
Beats a CAPTCHA imo.
I over-exaggerate of course.
My obscure point was, the other has a non-javascript fallback.
As an aside, I now run another anti-spam tool behind it, because while it is fine against comments it does nothing for trackbacks.
Epic.
From the ‘Hashcash’ website:
I agree that graceful degradation for people running noscript (or equivalent) would be desirable. It’s just one of those things I don’t care quite enough about since I don’t run that kind of addon myself.
I’ll try to solve the problem by continuing to post mindless garbage that you won’t feel compelled to respond to :>
