As I said before, I’m really enjoying the cross-server PVP battlegrounds in Warcraft. It’s not so much the fast and furious queues as the constant arguments. I was even ditching guild raids for a time so I could PVP — while on the DKP waiting list mind you — and watch some more x-server arguments.

Sometimes, the x-server battlegroup mates will come to our realm forums to continue the arguments or to share screenshots of us losing a battleground miserably. I really wonder what’s the purpose of that — we’re not running around saying we never lose … far from it. We sometimes lose in a most spectacular way. I recall at least two times on Friday night when our server PVP raid could not hold the Arathi Basin stables for love nor money. Certainly, Arathi Basin can be won by the Alliance without the stables, but it’s a point of pride with me.

Speaking of Friday night and that server PVP raid group, I was ninja invited into the raid by a guildmate and I, in turn, ninja invited Raidleader into the raid. Immediately, we noticed that BabbleOn (she of prior weeks’ story — Part I and Part II) was leading this PVP hoe-down. It was hard to miss — she kept spamming her own Ventrilo information for people to join.

(Ya. No fucking way.)

Anyhow, we were having a conversation in /bg chat about some assbag shaman that wanted to die by our hands, repeatedly, when she said something like: what in the hell are you guys talking about? She must have looked at the raid roster because then she said: Oh. People on my ignore list are in here.

I just love gaming moments like that. We left soon after because more guildmates wanted to join in and she had a waitlist for the raid or some bullshit, and also … we were laughing so hard about the ignore list and the new titles she granted us (Raidleader the Fucker and Foton the Asshole), that we were completely useless for PVP.

I was really hoping that she’d scream (or ALL CAPS) “I’ll fucking kill you” because that’s a personal gaming goal of mine — to have someone scream “I’ll fucking kill you” and mean it — but no luck on that. I truly believe I came close this time, however.

Anyways, I’ve been collecting some x-server screenies to share:

That was one guy yelling at another guy who didn’t tap the flag in Arathi Basin. Seems to me that “useless/worthless prick” is a very underrated insult. I’m going to add this to my regular rotation of PVP insults directed towards teammates.

Here’s another guy upset about the quality of healing in the PVP battlegrounds but he really fell short on his insult. I have a feeling that kids nowadays don’t even blink when their parents get divorced. Isn’t it more like “what took you guys so long?” rather than “GOD NO!! WHY?? WHY?? Is it me? It’s me, isn’t it?”
