Low Tolerance for the annoying

Minor rant session:
I'm finding more and more I'm getting easily annoyed with stupid people in game. Maybe not stupid people, just people in general. I know this is a social game but I enjoy playing by myself. Very few on my friends list I get excited to talk to or play with. Because they have boundaries maybe? It's just WoW talk when conversation does happen.
I've never been kicked from a guild, until sometime last week. I left many, and I've always contributed more then my share to anything from guild runs, to donating to the guild banks. I usually help guilds level and then I take my leave. I never ninja guild banks, I never disrespect anyone in the guild, I never troll trade and give the guild a bad name. Getting booted from a guild annoyed the shit out of me! Why did I get kicked, because I added the GM to FB and didn't respond to his PM in a timely manner? come the fuck on! seriously? I've calmed down since then, but still that dinged my perfect "no guild boot" streak. Dammit! About a day before I was booted however, I was planning on leaving. I very generously donate to the guild bank for the guild members, and for the GM to buy bank tabs for the guild, NOT for the GM to take out gold for personal use. But then again maybe I don't know the whole story. Maybe gold was used to buy mats, food, pots for the members? yeah, that's very unlikely. since you DON'T use GB gold for that!!! members make the shit and deposit it. gold is used for repairs, and pots and food mats when they start raiding. That annoyed me and trust me as much as I'm aware of my RL money I'm always aware of what happens to in game gold. Yes it was no longer mine once it got deposited, but that's not the point. But w/e it's done and over with.
So my plans for the new guild. Low level guild. I will help lvl this guild and stay in it for the perks. I will not be social, I will not donate to the GB, I will not help level guild members, I will just log on, do my dailies, run my dungeons and shut my mouth. Shit I don't even know the name of the guild I'm in now. That's how much I don't give a crap anymore.
I know there's more I wanna add but can't think of anything more right now.

Everyone gets a Scythe!!!!

Was going to make an entry here explaining my next Holiday event task, and last night I get a whisper asking about my Frostscythe mog. So I figured to get this out now before Saturday, Well I planned to post it on Friday Anywhos....
Ok so This Saturday starts the Midsummer Fire Festival. The Holiday Boss is Frost Lord Ahune. The daily prize is the Satchel of Chilled Goods.

Unless they changed it this year, the drop rate for the Frostscythe to be in the bag is 1.4% I had originally gotten it several years ago but deleted it before Transmog was out. Last year, or the year prior (I can't remember) I HAD to get it back on Deadskully. I think it took me all the way up to the last days of the event too.
So according to this calendar, I have 15 days to run this on all my caster classes that can wield staves.
I KNOW I want to get all my 90 locks to have one. Especially Alliance Deadskully and Hyjal Babyskully. I might come across the problem I had with The Valentines Boss. Everyone running their alts and my noob toons can't pick up the slack. Meh We'll see what happens. Who knows, I might always be lucky and get good groups.

So I will be running this boss 9 times a day. Well 10 if they drop something better for Deadskully, which I highly doubt.
I also don't know if the stats went up from last year's Scythe drop so it might be better then what I currently have my 90s using.
Unless I push hard, I don't think I can get Skullysdead another 20 levels before Saturday. I'm sure I will get her maxed before the event is over, but just not when it starts.
Just realized I will probably see more people with MY scythe mogged... crap!

Warforged Nightmare

Alright so of course the day this mount came out I needed to get it.
It looks so awesome! It's so pretty when it flies. The red ember gasses streaking behind it.
I want to make a "Deadskully's Adventures" story about it, but I'd need screenshots of inside Siege of Orgrimmar raid 3rd or 4th wing.  Somewhere that it looks like something is being constructed for battle, Warforged, if you will. I'm thinking the rooms with the trash before you get to Malkorok or before the Spoils or shit even Thok. I'm terribly lazy to sit in que for half an hour to an hour just to get in and get out. Actually there is some gear in there I could use. Maybe like 2 pieces max. Well I could be sitting in que right now come to think of it. /sigh
I've been leveling my Alexstrasza lock so I really haven't been on Deadskully much. Ugh! 
WoW stories > leveling ANOTHER lock :-P
I might decide to do it tomorrow.
The crappy thing about this mount is that after you learn it, it sends all your toons a Hitching Post. This allows members in your party to click it and for 20 minutes, when they mount up all their mounts become Warforged Nightmares So you can have a stampede of them running around. Sooo really, if a group of people that always play together wanted the mount but don't want to spend the money for it, just one person needs to buy it and then, everyone else can reap the benefits. I don't like it, but then again, I'm not Blizzard and I'm not the one losing out on money. I guess this is a way to get people to play with their friends more which has been their ultimate plan. In that case, well done Blizz.

A Mother's Concern

My mom is so funny.... Because I post WoW Screenshots on my facebook regularly, the times when I don't post any, she gets concerned. Not that I'm dead or anything just that I'm happy when I'm gaming. I'm happy when I'm playing WoW. So if she doesn't see any screenshots or WoW Blog posts linked on my FB feed then she gets worried.
My daily routine consists of work, home, WoW, eat, sleep... and get up the next day and do it all over again. The highlight of my day is when I'm gaming.
Sadly this is all by my own choice. Friends ask if I wanna go out and I always kindly decline. Why? Because I have ingame dailies (CDs, quests, farm, auctions, etc.) that need to get done. That is the actions of a sad addict, that quite possibly might need help but refuses to change her ways. I don't deny I have a problem, I know I do. But it's not life threatening(I go to work, I eat, I sleep) so it's all good... It's just 'Social life' threatening. Although, in an MMO you can still make friends and chat with people etc.... I rarely do. People don't believe me when I say I have limited friends on my friends list. limited like less then 10 people. The ones that aren't active I delete off. Not like I need to make room for others but I just delete them off. But seriously, If I was more social ingame technically I would still have a social life, but I'm not.
So I can see why my Mom gets concerned about my mental well being. To be honest, sometimes I do as well.

4th 90 lock and new Affliction lock

I decided to make this all one post, because I'm feeling lazy. 
This post about my lock hitting 90 is extremely late, BUT SSaDay page was up to date when I hit 90. Hyjal is full on 90s again!!!
So anywhos, my 4th 90 lock, I did indeed stick with Destro all the way through. I'm having issues with Destro AoE I need to figure that shit out.

5th lock I'm gonna lvl is my Bloodelf Lock on Alexstrasza, she is 56 right now and unfortunatly I started her off as Affliction BUUUUTTTTT, killing shit was going so fuckin slow. I knew that was gonna happen. I had dual spec'd her before from Demo to Aff. 
 So I just switch back to Demo. Things are dying much quicker. But I am terribly disappointed at myself that I couldn't just suck it up and stick with Affliction.

Gamer Chick Rant

(This post was moved from my "Random Topics" page. It deals with WoW and I did add in the description that posts on there won't deal with WoW directly. Although this doesn't only specifically pertain to WoW, it is included so I made the decision to move it. Originally posted: 5/27/14)

Most likely this post will make me sound like a bitter old hag, but idgaf.
Nothing annoys me more then girls who play this game (or any game for that matter) that need to make it known to EVERYONE that they are the fairer gender. They know they will attract the male attention.
I correct people for the most part, but I never was one to be all like "hey Im a girl, show me attention"
True "Girl Gamers" don't care if people know they are female or not. They go about their business and kick as much ass as possible.
Trust me I'm no prude, I just enjoy my game for it being just that... a game. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I do jump in silly boarderline pervy conversations. But the difference here is I will do it with my guild or friends in my party chat and we know its for fun. Not in trade in front of people I've never spoken to before just to get the boys all riled up.
If I join a guild and people ask, I tell them. Or as I get used to people, I'll say something. But for the most part I tend to use the general "hun" when referring to people. Typing out their names takes longer and sometimes I myself don't know if they're a chick or a dude. But years of use, I got to know that that is a give away on if I'm a girl, a gay male, or an sweet old man. LOLz
The following Trade Chat screenshot was annoying the living shit out of me. Here is where cranky OLD Skully came out. There was more to the conversation, but I was taking screenshots of loot in my bag and looked at them and saw I got bits of the conversation captured.

Girls (probably dudes IRL) fishing for attention = Sad. The trolls that sit in trade and have conversations that frankly noone else cares to see. Fricken get out of Org and do something. Or whisper and have conversations that way, oh no I'm sorry, we were trolling for male attention.

I never understood what trolling people in game ever did for anyone. I hope they are ugly douchebags irl, because the smack they try to talk really shows it.  To troll someone, to try to get under people's skins because they think it fun and funny has no point what-so-ever. Just to make people laugh at the person they're trolling and they think the troll is sooo cool with his witless comments. I would looove to see that troll try to shit talk people in person. Um yeah, probably won't go over so well. All that person is good for is running his mouth in his mama's basement, hiding behind his monitor and keyboard. And yes when I say "his" im referring to both genders. Trolls are everywhere.

Oh well I didn't really stay on the topic.... again,  and I went back to fill in gaps so might not make sense, meh. And I did indeed make myself sound like a bitter... old... hag. lol

Almost 90!!! Yeah, yeah another Lock.

I will make another post after this lock hits 90. Hyjal is once again going to be maxed out with 90 toons. Depends on how lazy I am, it might happen within the next few days. This will be my 4th 90 lock. I made a post when I started her saying I was going to be taking it slow and reading quests and watching cut scenes, etc. But that quickly lost it's appeal.
I was desperate for another 90 and my patience wasn't as strong as I thought it was going to be. Since I have 3 other Undead Warlocks that I leveled I figured I'd be willing to enjoy the lore and read quests and help every NPC I could. Nope, didn't happen obviously.
It's alright, next time.lol... maybe
Destro is an easy spec to pick up on quick imo. Although I'm not 90 yet, I know I don't have all the abilities, but at this point in leveling, it seemed that I have less useful spells then Demo.
I use Dominos UI for my action bars and on Deadskully It's pretty much filled. Well ok, I take that back. It's filled with alot of spells yes, but a lot of it is just crap. Macros, mounts, profs, etc. I'm so used to Demo that I tend to look on my bars for some Demo specific spells and realize it ain't there!!! how fail. :-p
For a bit I started to get used to Destro that I was seriously contemplating switching Deadskully to Destro just to try it out.
 BUT stat priority is different and I don't feel like wasting the gold to re-gem, reforge, and re-enchant all my gear only to realize that, Um yeah, this ain't so great. There's still a lot more in Destro I need to learn so I will definitely hold off on that.
I have a choice between 2 locks that I will be willing to level next, HOWEVER!!! one is an Alliance on Lothar, Pixxiskully and the other is Horde on Alexstrasza, Skullysdead . I Would prefer to level a Horde on Lothar Because my Horde toons on there have gold, But it's like Hyjal, full on toons, so I can't make another toon unless I delete one. :-( Alexstrasza has my other 90 Lock, Babyskully (II), but not as much gold on that server. I'm so torn I tell you. Also, with the success of me steering away from Demo for a whole leveling process, I think I will try to make my next lock Affliction. I did go through half of LK as Affliction and I liked it, but I know just like the other specs, everything has changed since then. So this will be another learning experience. I will be a very well rounded Warlock player soon enough. :-P
And just in case anyone is thinking "why more locks??" shut it! I knew someone with 9 Hunters and another person with 7 Pallys... yeah I ain't looking too bad now huh!... for now. muahahaha!
