| Scarlet Crusade |

I'm in Plaguelands right now, and just about to lose my mind... is there some quest you can do to at least get neutral with Scarlet Crusade? Because it's several times now that I've had three or four of them after me, all the time crying "we shall wipe evil from these lands" and merrily ignoring the zombies and skells in favor of whaling on the poor little draenei... it's enough to break a poor hunter's heart, it really is.

| Asking a guild to stop psting me about their dang raids. |

I'm on a server that has a very small horde population so the need for healers and tanks is rather huge. There's a guild on my server, I shall call "VC" that have been psting me (decent geared priest doing t5 content) every week (or twice a week) to be in their raids. I have always told them I can't and after a while I told them to not pst me anymore. Done and done.
It stopped for 2 weeks, but today I got whispered again.
I'm getting to the point that I will post a thread on the server forum to tell them to not pst me about their raids since: A) I don't want to "be honored" to join your raid B) I have my own guild's raids to attend C) PuG 25-mans (even Gruuls/Mags) tend to end up really really bad on my side of the server.
However, I don't want to post that thread so, how can I tactfully/politely tell this guild to leave me alone and make it so (since the first time didn't work out so well). I can't really /ignore since that would be rude.
Another note: Morogrim Tidewalker! Any advice on healing watery grave (since I'm going to put on doing that) and general advice for a healer on that fight?

| health/mana vs damage? |
[09 Jul 2008|12:02pm] |
I went through a few pages of the many shadow priest questions we've had of late (they've been very helpful) but couldn't find an answer to mine.
At this point I pretty much know what stats I'm supposed to go for but do I favour them over spell damage, or the other way around? I just got Nimboya's Mystical Staff that has more spell damage but less base stats than the dagger/off-hand combo I'm currently using, and I'm not sure which to choose. Or what to do next time I'm faced with a similar choice.
I'm soloing my way to 70, so this is purely for my own sake (i.e. no need to consider instancing and such). More damage obviously kills the mobs faster but is it dangerous to neglect my health while levelling? Or too painful to let my mana regen go down? One item doesn't make a big difference but all my gear combined will.
Should I just go for balance, so that if I pick the pew pew staff now, I'll get stats gear next time?

The simple fact is....I have NO luck in Battlegrounds, regardless of which faction I play on.
I have 3 Alliance 70s, 2 of which I've pvped with. I've only gotten one Honor system item each for both because I'd give up because I've grown tired of losing, losing, losing, losing and spending a lot of time waiting to be rezzed. So, I've decided to roll horde (on a different battlegroup) thinking I'd be on the winning side for once. My horde alt is in her forties and I've decided to start pvping. So, what happens in AB and WSG? A loss, a loss, a loss, etc. You get my drift?
I'm a solo player and it seems the only way to get shiny epics, welfare or not, at 70 is to pvp. If I'm constantly losing, my desire to pvp dwindles.

| Boomkin help please? |
[08 Jul 2008|09:40pm] |
So I have 2 druids on the same server... it's kinda a long story why, but I do. The first one is 70 and feral. The second one, I was originally levelling feral, but on a whim today, I've decided to respec her to balance to finish levelling, just for the heck of it. She's currently level 38.
But I don't know where to start. I picked up a talent spec from WoWWiki, and bought some new gear, since I can tell just by looking at my character sheet that I need to look for intellect, spirit and stamina at this point. But beyond that, I'm completely clueless. And there aren't any boomkins online right now in my guild.
Anybody want to help a clueless noob to the spec out, please? :) Spec advice, casting sequence, gear, etc. is all helpful.

Yes, 5 exclamation points.
Nothing in this game gets me more insane with rage than when someone ninja herbs trees in skettis that I just killed. NOTHING! (Might be because I am doing it on an under geared rogue rather than a lock, spriest, hunter, or druid) Not losing loot to others, not getting passed over for raids, not losing in arena, not getting ganked in bgs, nothing comes close.
It is all I can do not to unleash with a flurry of cussing and ranting. And luckily its usually not horde but when it is, Oh boy. Tonight I died because I got adds of water guys and a hunter standing by then got the kill, no biggie, I understand that. But then later I got the tag and the hunter came up and I have no idea how since I have it set on auto loot, I must have lagged or delayed one second, but they got the herb.
All I said was "you suck" "eff you" "youre stuck with me now" then followed them to the next tree, and then they offered to let me loot the next one they killed cause by gosh I was going to follow that b*tch and mad spam the herb the rest of the night in my furor. I was gonna sit by every tree and let it rot if they didnt loot it with me standing there. (I wasnt gonna get banned or warned over this but oh my goodness I wanted to GO OFF)
Feel free to tell me I am a moron and to get over it, or convince me its not a big deal, because I need anger management when it comes to trees. Or you can tell me what makes you totally nuts and angry, that would be cool too :)
phew, I feel a little better.

| SVT 44: Amy Moves In |

So in celebration of my graduation from college (\o/ commencement on Sunday!), I decided to do another recap since the one I did over my spring break was great fun - and amazingly, also about Amy. Uh, so this recap took a little bit longer for me to finish than I thought it would. >_> Sorry.
I have a confession to make. When I was reading these books as a little girl growing up in Nowhere, Iowa, I considered Amy the loser BFF of Liz. And I identified with that, and liked Amy. Now I just kind of like laughing at her. Anyway. I bring to you AMY MOVES IN.

Not much to it. It's Amy there in the middle (with a cast on her arm! The mystery will be solved, I promise), with... I always thought it was Liz to her left (our right) giving her a very uncertain looking grin, but I think it might be Jess. o_O Lila is there on Amy's right looking like she wants to jump her, and then devour her. If Lila Fowler was looking at me like that, it would put the fear of god into me.
Strangely, Amy Moves In is also the title of a book by Marilyn Sachs about a Jewish family living in the Bronx in the 1940s. Something tells me that there is more literary value to that one than to this.

| Of add-ons and pissy WSG players |
[08 Jul 2008|09:15pm] |
I am admittedly an an add-on noob. Recently I had to purge my add-on folder, which of course messed up my UI. It was never genius to begin with, so I decided to take the opportunity to both restore only the add-ons I found useful, and to make it a little more fun then it has been. So, I had some questions:
Also, the other day I was in WSG on my priest, and ran across one of those players that I like to think of as "the martyr" of the game. You know, the ones that whine and bitch about how everyone else but them are "nubs" and need to "L2play", and put down everyone else to reassure and comfort their Epeen. Occasionally another player will chime in with agreement just to make themselves feel better, which is just as bad....
So, ladies, have any annoying BG experiences you'd care to share? Those are always good for a chuckle, you know, once the seething has subsided :D.

I've noticed a lot of tour photos taken by members of this community over at this myspace. You have to add the page in order to see the album, but if you add it and tell the page owner which photos are yours, they'll credit you. :) I know this has been a bit of a bother for some members lately and wanted to let everyone know so that they can be properly credited for their pictures.

| the age old gear questions :) |
[08 Jul 2008|11:08pm] |
I'm a 70 NE Resto Druid. After quitting several times, I decided to come back to my old character and start raiding again. (always loved it) I've recently switched to Resto (was originally feral spec) for my own purposes (I like tree form :3) and for guild purposes. I have to say I'm enjoying Druid Healing, however, I've hit a snag.
Heroics and Kara require me to have a lot of bonus healing, or at least I've been told by everyone that was the case. I keep getting told different numbers (1200/1400/ect) by various sources....However, the problem is I've been trying to raise my bonus healing as much as I can (invested in expensive gems to socket my armor, the + healing weapon enchant and such.) but I can only seem to push the 1000 mark (barely). I'm itching to do Heroics, but everyone tells me I need better gear for it...its starting to get on my nerves. >< So my questions to fellow healers and druids are:
- Just exactly what stats should I be paying attention to? - What sort of gear do you recommend from the normal instances, if any? Rep gear as well, I'm willing to grind it to get what I need. - What do you recommend my bonus healing be at (I've mostly been told the numbers by non-healing jobs....so I wanted to confirm.)?
I was able to get in as a healer for a sort of pug Kara run (some guildies and some strangers) and was lucky enough to get some gear there already, if you have suggestions on anything I should aim for, please recommend. :) I get so confused trying to figure out what stat is better than what. ><
My armory sheet is here , the normal healing weapon I use is Serpentcrest Light-Staff with +100 healing enchant. The one I have on there I got in that Kara run I mentioned, I took it since no one really wanted it...:)
Hopefully I can finally get some confirmation on my questions. ><
Thanks Ladies! :)

| New Job, New WW Goal, New Outlook |

Hey, everyone. I'm sure I'm known around here as that girl who starts over constantly...OK well probably not, but that's who I am. Heh. Bottom line...I need some encouragement. I'm pretty close to hitting my highest weight again and I really want to snap out of it and get to goal. I keep making up excuses not to do WW right...not enough time to go to the gym, candy lying around the office, etc...and as a result have gained back most of the weight I lost when I did WW.
I joined LA Fitness this past weekend and have been three times so far. I have made a new goal date of 10/29. I plan on holding a Halloween party this year and want to look awesome in a cute costume, so I'm hoping this will drive me to stay on track! I'm going to weigh in tomorrow, but I'm pretty certain these are how my stats look as of now:
Height: 5'4" Highest Weight: 152 Lowest Weight: 127.5 Current Weight: 144 Goal Weight: 120
I really want to hit my goals and stick with it this time. If I can lose 1.5 lbs. per week I've got it in the bag. Wish me luck - I need you guys! <3

So, the post on charter signing got me thinking. You fine ladies helped me get a guild going not too long ago, and I wanted to thank you for your help once again! On top of that, I believe Adalekiel would love to thank you for your help, and show you what you helped make!
 (If that's too large for some reason, I'll LJ cut it. I think it's a reasonable size.)
Full shot: http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3146/wowscrnshot061708025255fh8.jpg Outside her store: http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6498/wowscrnshot061708031503xj4.jpg
Thanks again. Adalekiel loves her new shop, and has many wonderful (in-character) customers!!
