New Rules – 3/30/2010
New Rule – You’re not a pirate
I don’t know how this got started but it makes me roll my eyes every time I see it.
Ignore what the healer said about the ghoul by the way, that’s just silly talk.
No, instead focus on the top part. Really guys? You can’t type out even just one full word? “r” is all you can muster? Gosh it must be tough getting out of bed every day if you can’t strain your muscles any more than to type just one letter responses.
New Rule – Wrap up the blues
As I’ve said before and as Chastity says here, the whole blue dragonflight plotline is a pretty awkward piece of work. I suppose its just another case of Blizzard royally mucking up when it comes to storytelling but this is the first bit of that you find in this expansion. Later you’ll come to appreciate the odd sidetrack to kill Yogg-Saron and then at the end you’ll find that every quest and npc lied to you about the nature of the Lich King and everything that was set up as truth ended up being scrapped and tossed aside in favor of one of the most egregiously terrible pieces of plot that WoW has to offer.
What happened to the blue dragonflight? What happened to the Scarlet Onslaught? What happened to Malganis? What happened with Azjol-Nerub? Why was the Lich King plot so radically changed?
The Malygos plot line is a story that could have really gone places but was brushed over entirely for more “important” things like jousting and… more jousting. Could we stop doing that please? Thanks.
New Rule – Moar buffs faster nao!
Say what you want about the ICC zone buff but I love it and want more stacks of it forthwith! After you spend week after week flawlessly downing early bosses in any raid you start to get a little crazy. Its repetitive, there’s no danger, there’s no excitement, its just the same hoops to jump through on your way to new things. Bring on the buff so we can get to the parts everyone wants to do darnit!
The “r” thing totally confounded me as well. When LFG was first implemented, I could hardly believe that this was actually an acceptable way of letting someone know you were ready on other servers. I still quietly rage when I see it.

I’m afraid I’m an “r” player. I’ve found that if you actually take the time to type “ready” people genuinely do get impatient. Or just pull without you.
I really, really wish they’d make the early ICC bosses skippable. Marrowgar I can accept, Saurfang I can accept (but let us hordies skip the RP please?) but there’s no reason why the elevator to the next level is at the back of a freaking temple. That just makes no sense:
“Delivery of bile for the plagueworks”
“Excuse me, we’re in the middle of a service here!”
Similarly it would be nice if you got the option to skip the Gunship battle, saying something like “while I appreciate that these are our enemies, shouldn’t we be concentrating on fighting *the freaking Lich King”
