Just a random thought:

Few of you know the horror, the 'Oh crap I'm done' feeling of being a small, mustached Dwarven priest and having a gargantuan Taurne in big spikey plate mail coming towards you with a hammer as big as you are. It's frightening.

What scares you?

A group of skulls riding down on me, while I'm alone. Usual from one of the guilds that I know has camped me and mine in the past.

Nothing in game scares me. In RL, it's birds. I saw the movie "The Birds" too early in life.

What I'm disgusted with in game is another matter entirely. When I'm not feeling well but want to play the game (this particular moment, I am on muscle relaxers because my neck muscles are so spasmed from doing too many surgeries at work that I can't turn my head) so I go waaaaaaaay out in the middle of nowhere so I can be left alone and play my toon in peace....and I still get ganked.

I can be playing the game in the middle of the morning on a weekday when the population is next to nil, ride out to some REMOTE area so I can be left alone and just enjoy killing mobs (not even out in the open but in a corner way on the edge of the world and hidden by mountains and trees) with my hunter and my Kittsu cheetah, and within five minutes, I still get ganked.

I'm really getting bored with the inability to just play. I don't even fight back anymore. This morning someone green to me came up to me and ganked me while I was half health and I didn't even bother to fight. I feigned death and logged off. Just...sick...of...it.

Ugh, I know how that goes. I haven't leveld in at least a week. It's been solong since I've even gotten experience. I spend too much time in bloody Ironforge. =\

Well I know on the days you're describing its not possible, but a nice place to level is an instance, good gear, good gold (if you dont wipe) and if you're moving fast enough nice rate of XP

An instance requires getting into a group. When I'm having days like this, being in a group is the last thing I want or need to do. Good advice, but just doesn't work for me. If everybody wipes because I fell asleep on the pain meds at my keyboard, well that makes me a huge loser and a detriment to my group.

Also, most of the time when I'm just wanting to go off and do some quiet grinding, it's after a very long day taking care of very needy patients at work and I just want to get away from people, ya know? Those are also times when after a long day, I don't have two or three hours to spend getting in a group and completing an instance. I only get an hour and a half, maybe two hours max at night to play.

And I don't really mean to be whiney about this. It's a PVP server, I should expect to get ganked. It's just getting a little old when I want peace and quiet and respect and instead I get someone's e-peen shoved up my ass.

I used to really love PVP. Now I'm really starting to hate it, obviously since I don't even fight back anymore. I just sit my character down and log off. My corpse is sitting right now somewhere in Winterspring. I didn't even bother retrieving it. People aren't doing anything wrong in ganking me. It's what the server is for. I'm just not happy in it anymore.

One thing you might try doing is going to an instance you're obviously too high in level for...a hunter as high as you should have no trouble doing -anything- solo in SM or lower. Not to mention it's a great way to grab some spare cash. :)

I dearly know what you're talking about, though. I was grinding on Bloodsail pirates last night in a desperate attempt to hit 40. I needed one more kill and an orc shaman wandered up to me. I was like OH COME ON NO WAY...but he just danced with me and moved on. I was so thankful for that.

I was following you around last night, then paid that orc to go mess with you. XD

;)

Let's pray for everyone's continued liveliness that you are kidding, Zust. *smiles sweetly*

Danlily,
If you're on during the day and having problems and I'm on as well, just give me a yell. My work schedule is kinda weird most of the time, so I try to do my herbing/fishing/bandage farming during the day when no one else is around, and generally would welcome a distraction *grin*

Mortica doesn't attack first except in BG's, but she'll defend people trying to do stuff all day long if it's needed.

*hugs*

Thanks Mortica. I'll probably try to do some grinding on Thursday. I'll be home cu my dog is having surgery on Tuesday so I'm taking Wednesday and Thursday off. (Wednesday is my usual day off but it's also my day to play EQ2 with my daughter and her husband)

Danlily, if I'm on you know you can contact me too. I'd gladly hang out with you, and tell any Alliance that comes around to lay off my friend. AND it would be IC!!!

Hehe

I remember going to ZG and ran across Cly stealthed and Danlily, I forget who it was, but they started to attack you guys, told them to leave you alone and we left. :)

Yea, I remember that Pistos. That was pretty cool of you *hugs*. And thanks to all of you for the offers. *group hugs*

*hugs* Do you have any high level 60 friends? Maybe they can tag along with you and help you. rogues help a lot.


And where is it you are trying do your questing or grinding at in wintersprings or wherever. Maybe I can help, and I might be able to bring Spronkle/Streyth with me. lol Being 60 and guildless, sucks. I always have time to help others.

Yea, I do, and Clys is 60. However, part of my frustration is the fact that I can't go anywhere without a "babysitter". Kinda hard to feel the part of a bad-ass huntress when you have to have a babysitter everywhere ya go. I like being independant. When Bloodelves come out, I hope they have rogues, because I'm not going to play another character on a pvp server that doesn't have any stealth capabilities. I'd try druid but just can't feel sexy playing a tauren, and if my toon isn't sexy, I'm not playing her.

Female trolls are the best I think, but hey nothing wrong with a babysitter... just rp you can just say your close companions or something. :D
