I've recently been thinking a bit about how communication works in the real world as opposed to the alternative one that spawned these boards initially, and that so many people play now (or honestly, pick one). Or more precisely, how it does not work and how this hurts us.

I'm pretty horrible at personal nonverbal skills, and if you want to hear about why tough because this is not the place for that. It does however lead to a good deal of thought on the various signals people use...

Okay, last night I got ninja yanked into a group doing Morogrim and Hydross because we're on 'friendly' relations with their guild (two people in guild are officers of theirs). Both were bosses they've downed so no guilt on 'overpowering' content or anything.

It did through vague seeds of drunkeness, however, bring up a point. Given the option, and that my Hydross gear is pretty much 100% 'Of Protection' I farmed from the auctionhouse (except leggings which are T6 because I...

But seriously, bitching because you don't get a shadowpriest on a fight you can live without? Claiming that...

Well I'm nobody special, but god knows I talk a lot and memorize far too many facts than can possibly be good for me.

Currently I'm one of three MTs in a guild that killed Illidan some months behind anyone you'd know. I peruse the EJ forms with a moderately unhealthy obsession and a wpm that most people think I'm lying about. I am indeed a prot paladin, and god knows you'll hear about it enough, be it bitching about silences or the lack of a prot pally weapon (no, seriously, don't...
