Ya, Warcraft login woes and servers crashing again.
If I can’t get into the game to interact with the asshats, it’s hard to write about the asshats. Although, I could probably make up any old shit and it would be just as (un)believable.
Goddamit, I was about to break into the Scarlet Monastery — a triumphant return, this time as a priest alt whose weapon and defense skills are at least 10 levels behind, thx powerlevel — and the servers start going down like a 5 dollar you-know-what.
Go figure. The weekend was quiet and relatively trouble-free; Monday night, everything goes to shit.
Unlike many of my fellow Warcraft players on the forums, I will not do any of the following:
1. Quit
2. Sue
3. Contact the Better Business Bureau
4. Call Blizzard on Tuesday, or
5. Post on the forums.
I’ll probably go do some work, but with a twist! If you know what I mean, and I think you do.
Remember that enchanter scam I was /boggling about a while ago? What I didn’t say was that the very same scamming enchanter changed his pitch a few days later, and he was running one of the premier casinos on my server.
Of course, anybody that had hung around Ironforge for longer than 5 minutes would know that this was no regulated State of Nevada-type house; his was more like the shell game in a back alley. And when the marks were far and few between, he decided that he was a dedicated rogue, begging for lockpick experience. (It’s complicated … just know that rogues had a hard time getting lockpick experience prior to the latest Game Enhancement Day unless other players would let the rogue actually POSSESS the locked item to perform the lockpickery. ya, scary and dangerous.)
In summation, this fuck had just about worked everything he could and had been reported about 56 BILLION times … and by that, I mean that everyone had reported him at least a couple times over. I, personally, had /reported his ass three times, and others in my guild as well. He hadn’t ripped me, but he was upsetting the noobs — who tend to spam alot, which upsets the delicate balance.
Tonight, my not-so noob alt was sailing through Ironforge, on the way to somewhere else, and motherfuck … there’s ScamsAlot again in Ironforge, running his bullshit (under the table, this time) casino. I could not believe it.
Do they ban ANYONE? I know they do the temp suspensions for attending in-game protests, and using class skills to split mobs, and for slaying everyone at the Ironforge Auction House (which still makes me laugh) with a class item, but are they nailing anyone that deserves it?
Just wondering. Because I think the answer is No.
