As some of you might know, I have returned to the dark side (aka World of Warcraft) recently. Mostly because of the lack of quality MMORPG titles out there. I simply gave up on F2P games (for the time being) and decided to go back to a title where I know I can have fun. It wasn't a hard decision, just something that I put off for a long time.
Unfortunately, the 6 month lay-off I had didn't not improve things for the server I had my lvl 70 hunter (fine fine... I am a huntard), as it was as desolated as ever. I remember that the first day I logged in after my long absence into Orgimmar, it was like... empty. Except for a few people on the chat channel bickering away, I did not see even a single player character running around. I logged out and back into my other toon on an Oceanic server, and had a blast with some really old friends. I even started an alliance hunter just for kicks, but I soon got tired of it and went back to my old lvl 70 hunter.
Because of the low population, I don't get to run instances a lot, and so I resorted to PVP to relieve my boredom. Then I realized that my equipment had become what many would call subpar. Looking at all the super well equiped ppl, and I almost couldn't put a dent in their shiny armor. I almost gave up, until I discovered something new. I realised, that if I cannot beat them, and since I can't join them, I would have to annoy them... >:D
I realised that since my gear is not so good, I might as well find a new way to help my team win. It started with something small, like dropping Frost traps all over the place, but later I discovered new ways. In AV I would run in and out of the crowds, wing clipping everyone, using arcane torrent to interrupt any sort of casting, and generally distract them from whatever at hand. Then they will turn to kill me. And since I am a mail wearing hunter that stacks stamina, they would have some trouble killing me, giving my team mates time to take them out.
Normally I would only do that when I am running out of mana, but sometimes I would go insane and charge in, dropping traps and generally distracting ppl, slowing them down. And I do get a lot of satisfaction from it, when people start realizing what I was doing and once they see me running towards them, they drop everything they are doing to kill me. To some extent, I even think that being annoying is more fun than playing properly. I don't wanna be the guy that takes you down in a matter of seconds. I wanna be the irritating mosquito that keeps flying around your ear, and every time you think you are rid of me, I'll be back around you buzzing away! Muwahahaha!
Some of you at this point might be swearing and cursing at me for not being a team player, but I don't care. I decide how I want to play. Don't get me wrong, I like to know opinions and advice of others but one must understand that I am in no way obliged to follow them. I take them with a pinch of salt, and decide for myself what I would do. I love to experiment for different ways to do the same thing and honestly not everyone feels comfortable or like what I am doing.
Excuse me, but I'm not a clown nor a politician. I don't need everyone to love, and support whatever I do. For those of you who do, I thank you and I totally appreciate your support, but for those of you who don't, well I think you would be happy to know that I don't give a damn about you either.
Just wait till I get my full season 1 set. I will then be annoying, and hard to kill >:D
P.S If you can tell which server I am from, and the name of my character, I shall give you er... some surprise gift thing... in game of course! >_>a
Plenty of clues already!
