That was also pure awesome ;)

65 things you need to know

that stirred up quite a bit of crap about me not tipping for enchants, because it’s just a single button click (and I had alts with full enchanting).

I chose the title and the list format because it’s easy to digest and I’ve gotten A LOT of feedback on it. My natural style of writing is massively long wall-of-text, and I haven’t gotten a lot of positive feedback (or any, now that I think of it) on that, at least from the common player. My goal is to make my blog enjoyable and constructive for a broad type of reader-base, and if it means lists, “catchy” titles, and cutting down on the college vocabulary words, I will.

I apologize if it annoys you or that you read too deeply into my title. Regardless, the “10 ways..” blogs were annoying even to myself, and I even made a note during my last one that it was indeed my last.

If I wanted to respond to you snarkily, I’d do it directly. Actually I think you’re a good writer and I like your blog.

But, I have some issues with the notion that either my guild leaders should love me (if I’m a guildie) or that my guildies should (if I’m a guild leader) and that the way to accomplish it is by making a doormat of myself.

Maybe it’s not what you intended, but when I read these types of posts, it’s with the shadow of the 1950s ‘how to please your husband’ books leering over my shoulder.

He logged on once in the middle of an Archimonde attempt. The entire guild was in Mount Hyjal, trying oh-so hard not to die in a fire, and suddenly there was this:

[Guild][Him]: Hey guys, sorry I’m late. Only three hours this time though, haha!
[Guild][Him]: So how’s it going in there?

(two seconds later)

[Guild][Him]: Fine, I guess I’ll just go play on my Alliance server then. See ya whenever.
[Him] has logged off.

He logs in when we’re doing something (raid, PvP, heroic etc), says “hi” over guild chat and then has a huge hissy fit when no one says hi back.

Look, if you want a lightspeed response, come onto vent. I don’t have time to *type* while I’m healing and raid leading and not standing int he fire and reading strats off the laptop screen and listening to the hockey game and talking to a potential recruit over whispers.

Sorry, the post hit a little close to home for me, didn’t mean to *RAGE* all over the place :)

But since the two rarely come together, anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved.”
-Machiavelli

^True story, as far as I’m concerned, for guild/raid leading.
