Re: WoW toon pics

That's a very, very myopic view of dungeons. When was the last time you did dungeons, WotLK? Not trying to be demeaning at all, but 99% of the dungeon runs are smooth sailing with no drama or even talking between people.

I found it easy to use the dungeon finder for heroics and stuff. The Baddies-Arrogant people are all in LFR now.

The last dungeon I ran with a guild was a couple of years ago. Some of the member threw hissy fits because they couldn't get an item they wanted.

I did do a random dungeon a year ago, after I returned. Again their were players bitching over people using "need" over "greed" and threats of kicking were tossed around. The last few times I ran a dungeon, I passed on all the loot, and just ran it to complete quests. Hence why I dislike them.

At least doing battlegrounds, the only thing people grip about is your lack of hurting the opposing faction. But that's about the only bitching that ever went on.

And that's enough to make you avoid it? TBH, this sounds like extreme conflict avoidance.

I feel you Snake. It's possible that you're just not a mutliplayer type guy. But Immer's guild has a good atmosphere. People that help each other and aren't going to chew you out like the terrible Snuff does.

Obviously your decision, just a suggestion. There's a lot in this game that you miss by avoiding randoms and therefore having to do soloable content.

I pay to play, not fight other players. Fight other players over items, fight other players in duals or in battlegrounds. It's just me. lol.
Now if I can only find the export button on my armory app on my nexus 7.

The game is built around multiplayer teamwork - virtually everything you do is supposed to be done as a group which is why your avoidance of a group seems.... odd to us.

But play what you enjoy.

I'm the opposite of you. I simply will not play a single player game. Halo 4 dropped, I played 45 seconds (literally) of campaign so that I could get my XIM Edge working and then joined online servers.

I'm not a particularly social person, but this amount of adversity to conflict sounds unhealthy. You did two dungeons in the past two years, and people "fought" (you know you can ignore chat) over loot, so you avoid dungeons now?

Wow.

Try holding your finger on it and "copying" it. Then just e-mail it to yourself.

Another nice bonus if you run with guildies is that you earn gold for your guild (250g per run, up to 7 times a week).

I picture my guys as solo types.
Warlock, human. Who wants to hang out with a person that deals with death and decay? Plus he is studying herbs and grinding them into new and interesting formulas.
A Hunter dwarf that is a miner/engineer? He is to busy to be bothered with anyone else. Add to that searching for the next best pet.
A death knight, night elf. How much more creepy can you be, an undead creature running around. He is busy taking items apart for their rare elements and using those elements to enchant other items. So between being a living dead hero and a busy enchanter, why should he hang out with mere mortals?
Rogues, night elf. Pretty much like crowds to hide in, pick a few pockets, then stab someone in the kidney and leave. So to avoid trouble with guards and angry mods, he stays to the fields and woods stalking animals to hone his killing and skinning skills. Or he is at an inn in a dark corner making leather armor, sharpening his blades and apply a touch of poison to them.
Monks panda. I can see them enjoying a party and drinking. But my monk also likes making armor and mining. Also, after a while the host grows tired of a guest that drinks and eats more then his fair share.
Druid, Worgan. He is busy sniffing the grass and stalking his prey to enjoy the company of others. Besides, he has fleas and doesn't want them to spread to the pandas. He also is building his strength by mining and his knowledge of anatomy by skinning. Which occupies much of his time.
Warrior, female. After a day of fighting, spilling blood and sweat, a gal has to take care in getting clean. Then having to deal with unwanted advances from untoward males, may end up with more bloodshed. So she stays at home sewing and hitting the AH. Or she is out in the wilds, studying anatomy and how to remove skin with ease with her two handed broad sword.

Paladin draenei is a bit conflicted. He spends a lot of time praying as well as staring at ore to see what kind of gems he'll recover. Then he carefully cuts the gems and makes jewelery. With all that praying and precise work he has to do, can he afford to have twitchy nerves from drinking?

The one guild a few of my toons belong to is a "dead" guild. It has around 100 or so members, is a level 25 guild. But for the last 4 months only 16 or so toons are actually active. Heck, I was outta wow for 4 months, and was surprised to still be in the guild when I returned.
Currently one toon is exalted with the guild.
I have yet to figure out how to access guild perks.

Many of them are automatic/passive (ex: +% justice points/gold/honor earned).

The active ones, like mobile banking, can be found in your spellbook.

Dungeons aren't so bad anymore, I only run them for VP now.
Short of one of the super rare epics (and even then maybe not) there aren't any upgrades left for me in dungeons.

I'd bet there's alot of others like me that will just roll DE on all of the loot.

With backstory like that.. do you play on an RP server?

No. But I tend to create stories like that for most of the characters I have played in MMORPGs [well, the ones I've played for any length of time].
For example The Von Hammer clan of the catskills shard [server] in Ultima Online had a wide range of people. One of whom was a bard who could never seem to stay out of trouble. Between pinching the soft bottoms of the bar maids to accidentally mixing up element weaver's magic reagents [element weaver was a magic user]. how was poor innocent Jack to know that replacing the bloodmoss with fish oil would turn Weaver into a fish?
After all, he is just a handsome bard that the ladies love and adore, and whom the dragons dance to their death with.

The toons take on a life of their own in my head. I know I should seek help, but their voices provide comfort and support in a lonely harsh reality.

Snake, have you ever tried an RPPvP server? It sounds like it might be right up your alley. It sounds like you enjoy pvp and you definitely have an RP flavor to your game.

I play on Emerald Dream and like you, i play solo most of the time. I have a small group of RL friends that i arena with but other than that i spend most of my time doing world pvp which is abundant on Emerald Dream.

Most of the fun is that the world pvp is ad hoc and you can just jump in until it grows into a full scale zone war. Raid parties are formed for pvp but soloing is just as fun.

something to think about for a change of pace and from your post, it sounds like you would have a blast RP'ing.

I'm not a true "RP"er, nor am I strong in Pvper.


But I like creating a history for my toons and some events that they may have had fun in. Granted, if Jack is involved, things tend to go a little sideways.

For what ever reason, I haven't developed that type of attachment to my WOW chars.

But, I'll explore what you suggested. A give it a whirl.

I'm not a true RP'r either, dont really participate in the RP "events" that go on, really only if it involves pvp but i do emote alot lol.

Basically, Emerald Dream is an alternative if you're not too concerned with high end raiding and enjoy world/random pvp. people on the server are really into collecting mounts and transmorging. There is alot of gold to be made from selling unique armor/weapon skins.

again its just a laid back atmosphere on the server and all characters are welcome.
