RE: EJ vs. Cheesecake.

I typed up my personal experience for The EJ versus Cheesecake Thread before I realized the login server was down. I can't post it, so here. Someone can copy and paste it later or something. If I wanted to wait for something in vain, I'd be in a BG queue.

Actually, I invited someone who was idling in org and converted to a raidgroup so I could check out the kitchen zone. I zoned in tonight just to see the place, since I'm busy tomorrow and won't get to raid with the full crew.

I found an improperly clipped ledge on the right side of the zone entrance which allowed me to run past the opening section and the Salad boss without any condiment agro at all. (I figured this was not intended, so I opened a petition immediately.) I got bored while waiting on a response, so I decided to agro the Hamburger boss and see what kind of damage he did.

To my surprise (lol...right), the Hamburger is currently bugged and isn't flagged properly or something. You can enslave him. He's the first good pet I've had since they nerfed the winterspring demons. Hamburger's a bloody awesome tank and has an AE slow called "Fatten". This enabled me to solo the entire kitchen without a problem on the way to the fridge. (Though I died 8 times to him when he broke at inopportune moments.)

Just before I attacked the Cheesecake, I finally got a response from a GM. Here's the chunk of that chatlog, for those interested:

<GM>Default whispers: Greetings, Slug. I am Game Master Default. I have read your petition regarding your Hamburger. Thank you for reporting this; I am very sorry that this is missing from your inventory.

To <GM>Default: I'm not missing a hamburger from my inventory. It's the boss in the BBQ pit just before the kitchen part of the instance. I found out that I can banish it, so I tried enslaving it.

<GM>Default whispers: I am very sorry to tell you this, Slug. Unfortunately, I am unable to grant this item to you. I apologize for the inconvenience you have incurred. Is there anything else I can help you with, Slug?

To <GM>Default: I'm not missing an item. I just soloed this entire 40-man zone with one of its bosses while waiting on a response to a petition I put in 6 hours ago. I skipped the whole salad bar without agro, too.

<GM>Default whispers: The salad bar encounter is currently functioning as intended. Is there anything else I can help you with, Slug?

To <GM>Default: You're allowed to skip the salad?

<GM>Default whispers: You do not have to finish the salad before moving to the BBQ pit. Is there anything else I can help you with, Slug?

To <GM>Default: Okay, that's cool, but you've still missed the point. I was able to enslave the hamburger boss and kill the entire instance by myself.

<GM>Default whispers: I am very sorry to tell you this, Slug. Unfortunately, I am unable to grant this item to you. I apologize for the inconvenience you have incurred. Is there anything else I can help you with, Slug?

To Wubwub: I think the GM I'm talking to is a robot.

To <GM>Default: Hamburger.

<GM>Default whispers: I am very sorry to tell you this, Slug. Unfortunately, I am unable to grant this item to you. I apologize for the inconvenience you have incurred. Is there anything else I can help you with, Slug?

To Wubwub: Well, this certainly explains a lot...

To <GM>Default: Probably not.

<GM>Default whispers: Well, if there is nothing else, let me thank you for your time and petition, Slug. Please feel free to let us know if you have any further issues. Enjoy your continuing adventures in the World of Warcraft!

Wubwub whispers: A robot?

To <GM>Default: Yep, thanks.

<GM>Default whispers: Your feedback is highly valued. For any comments or concerns about the quality of service provided by our Customer Support Staff, please e-mail wowgmfeedback-us@blizzard.com.

To <GM>Default: You bet.

<GM>Default whispers: Please submit a GM Ticket request if you need to speak with a GM.

To <GM>Default: But what about the hamburger boss?

<GM>Default whispers: Please submit a GM Ticket request if you need to speak with a GM.

To Wubwub: I think I broke it. Join up with me and zone in. We can duo the cheesecake and you can vendor the warrior loot it'll probably drop, cause I'm full of shards and gear already.

Wubwub whispers: Okay. Is it clear? Who did you go with?

Wubwub has joined the raid.
Randomguy has left the raid.

Wubwub: You were just in here with one guy?

Slug: Nah. He's idling in Org on the offchance he might get into a BG sometime today. I just needed him to form a raidgroup.

Wubwub: You soloed the whole kitchen?

Slug: I can enslave the hamburger boss and hamburger > salad. Took me about 6 hours, but it's clear all the way to the fridge, already. I'm making a fortune on gold splits.

Wubwub: This is going to get warlocks nerfed again, you know.

Slug sighs.

Wubwub: Maybe it'll drop you some good loot or something, at least.

Slug: The bratwurst dropped my T3 epic pants. I tried them, but they're still not really worth wearing over this lvl 60 green with only +dmg on it.

Slug: I

Slug has died.

Wubwub: Enslave broke?
Slug: Yeah, he resisted. Frostshock and earthbind kite him until I get back.
