Great advice all around, Aro! It was pointed out to me that I overlooked the grammar/complete sentences/punctuation thing in my own impromptu "guide." I hope you all are able to find the raiders that you need!

Hell yes she does! That is awesome. I really can't wait for Transmogrification. It's going to be so fun to SEE how people imagine their characters to look.

This is a great article, and it's a fun thing to do as a sort of mindless grind! I leveled a druid this way sometime after Cataclysm launched (originally intended to be a Worgen, she ended up another Night Elf...) I enjoyed zipping around herbing and mining and questing and she didn't cost me any money, she only made it.

I read a bit of your discussion with Syl on the linked post! You know you DO have at least one 'known' out of guild server connection. ;) I'm usually pugging anyhow so I'm often game to queue up with someone. I found it took me a long while to make connections on MR (the dungeon finder launched just after we server-transferred there) but I've managed to do it slowly and gradually. It definitely takes a concerted effort now, whereas before LFD it just seemed to kind of happen naturally. :(

Ahh! The last time you did this I didn't feel I could ask for a muse because I'd only just started reading and it would've been too much like, "Hi, oh by the way can you do this thing for me?"

Now I feel I'm completely justified in taking advantage of your muse-y skills! ;)

This is a very interesting idea! I think the results will make for some good reading. I'd like to see what happens when you get to the DEHTA quests, for instance. Killing sentient beings to help those who can't defend themselves...? Since it's based on your personal ethics, I suppose I will have to wait and see how that plays out. Good luck, I'm looking forward to it!

I CAN'T HELP MYSELF, it's a problem. Seriously... Oh well, at least I don't take up too much system memory. :D

True, I was hyperbolizing quite a bit! I've equipped things on the spot - the first MH weapon upgrade Vid got from ICC was a no-brainer, even unenchanted it was a 251 versus her 232 and the haste alone made it worth it. For BoEs, the rule absolutely makes sense. For BoPs, well, at some point you have to trust that the people in the run wouldn't roll on things that they won't use, just for kicks.

I think it's a stupid rule, too. At the end of one of our alt runs last weekend, someone made a remark about a hunter alt's gemming. I inspected him - he'd been equipping "upgrades" as we went, the end result being that he had eight empty sockets, at least six pieces of ungemmed gear, and no meta gem or gem in his helmet. I can appreciate that the gear was "better" than what he'd had before in terms of ilevel, but the end result was poor DPS and a mishmash of unprepared gear that didn't do him any credit... as we were staring down the Lich King.

You have to use common sense with these things, and saying "You will wear it" doesn't seem very sensible to me.

Haha. I'd like to hear Alas' George Carlin impression. ;) About the rest - Well, what do I know? I have no evidence to the contrary, so it must be true...

Honestly Alas, I can really relate. Well, I usually err more on the side of snapping back when it's a car situation. But once I had almost the identical thing happen to me - some guy in a truck was turning left and I had the walk signal and he nearly ran me over. He yelled and gave ME the finger. I was shaking the whole rest of the way to my destination, and honestly that time I did nothing, mostly because I was too shaken.

I've also grit my teeth through sitting next to someone being rude (uncontrolled kids, extremely loud talkers, cell phones, etcetera). I should speak up but often don't. If you learn the secret, please let me know. And if I was ever being rude and someone called me on it I would be extremely apologetic, but I think many people tend to be more inclined to get defensive/aggressive in return, which is why I often don't speak up myself. I'm usually more inclined to remove myself from the situation if I can. My Mom and I once walked out of a movie (not a great one) because of a loud popcorn eater. My brother, on the other hand, in the same situation, leaned forward and said loudly, "Do you think you could possibly eat that any louder? I can still hear the movie a little bit."

I'd like to take him everywhere I need such statements, but I doubt I'll ever be able to utter them myself.
