Over the holidays, one of the buds announced that he was ready to train as an Artisan Enchanter, the final segment to maxing the enchantment profession.
I was immediately suspicious. Other than expecting a “congrats” or some such, why was he telling us this? Because he sure didn’t word it like, “good news fellas, I can finally enchant your shit in a worthwhile way instead of those crapass enchantments I was giving you before” … it was more like “hey, I need to train artisan now” *insert uncomfortable pause in the conversation*.
And how I hoped my only commitment in this latest project would be tossing some gold his way.
Turns out his enchanter trainer is buried in the middle of an instance, lousy with elite mobs of our level. Ain’t that fucking great.
I was so sure he was mistaken, in fact, that I checked the web myself to make sure he didn’t have his facts confused. That kind of evil genius is EQ-type bullshit … which I might call Sony-type bullshit, but to be fair, EQ’s bullshit preceded Sony’s involvement by many months.
