fixed it..thanks!

NM, I found the missing 5% before you had a chance to help out. Uhhh...good work

Ahhh there is that hammer I was talking about :)

Michael you are the reason why I stick with Intense Debate....pros outweight the cons. You and your team are insanely ontop of things like this and great about reaching out to the users. I think I'm 95% back to where I should be but will email you the details on whats missing.

You'd be surprised how often this post still gets comments lol. Look back on the dates when comments were posted and you'll see its still popular :).

Even if the post is out of date, the comments never are out of date and always welcome :).

Random is not random. I know this for a fact about the tool. I have had two 80's now that didn't run very many instances while leveling and certainly didn't run heroics.

The LFG tool took me to each of the dungeons before I saw a repeat on both characters. I'd bet a prized Kodo that achievements for Northrend Dungeon Hero and Northrend Dungeonmaster sky rocketed the day of the LFG tool being released and not a week later when you might have randomly hit all dungeons.

If the tool is scripted to guide you into those instances, why not force you into ones that people don't often do? Doesn't it feel like you get Halls of Stone alot too? That one is so annoying. Blizzard is practically forcing Occulus down our throats and trying to avoid the gag reflux with a chance at a mount dropping....its silly.

Easier or not, it is not the way the event is meant to be done. Even I'd call it an exploit.

Is it technically a WoW exploit? No. Developers have defined that as something that will get you banned. But you sure as hell are abusing the game scripting to give your self an advantage....thus I'd call it a exploit.

I ran it the first few days of the patch and never went back until the day before you posted this. On that run and ever run since I've been in groups using this method. I haven't noticed any aggro issues but still this method seems pretty weak sauce to me.

Wanting to enlist you to help his raid succeed I don't blame him for....linking loot at you was a bit over the top though. If you don't want to go you don't want to go.

Remember....he could have chosen any pug healer on the entire server as well. It wasn't your fault the raid fell apart. Don't bare the burden when there was dozens of other ppl who didn't step up to his invite either.

I think the route I'll be taking is Pugging where possible and generally making my self available to be taken when needed otherwise. Its why I'm rushing the last few levels on my shaman now. Then I'll have a healer in badge gear that can go to raids when needed so hopefully I'll get to play some class.

I more or less want to at least "see" all of these encounters before Cataclysm comes out. If I can beat Arthas in 10 or 25 man regular mode I'd be happy. I don't have to clear all of ICC in hard modes and get another mount to feel successful at the game.

"The Alt run is a guild disease. Once that starts the standbuys never get a run, because the guild will bring the player, not the classe... Thing is it will always be the same 25 players..."

This = truth

It's sad too because gearing up 35 players capable of a 25 man raid is so much more valuable. But there really isn't anything out side of ICC atm that I need because ToGC 25 man. And having to pug my way into good standing with my guild? That doesn't sound worth the effort honestly. By the time I get to that point then this game has become a chore for me and I don't want it to turn into work. I've worked hard enough all ready to get where I am and the thought of anymore will remove any enjoyment this game still gives me.

Glad you came to your senses and joined the best faction :-p

BTW how long did the transfer take? I've heard they have refined the process enough to where a server transfer can happen in like 20 mins (or is that character-account transfer.....)
