Battlegrounds Are Serious Business

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Mizzle and I got ready for our weekly raid on Thursdays just like we always do, but a lot of people were out of town, getting married, or in other ways unable to make the raid, so we ended up calling it before it started and queued up for some battlegrounds.

After earning something like 60 EOTS tokens in only a couple of hours, I get this lovely whisper:

A GM whispers Lolotov

Naturally, as you can clearly see by my double-question-mark inquiry, this raised huge WTFs over my head. Recently I’ve been moving a lot of gold between accounts to level my jewelcrafting and I have bought a few patterns. I was concerned that I got flagged or something for that, but I didn’t. I immediately alt-tabbed and checked my account’s email and saw nothing. I fired up a ticket in-game to ask about this and finished out the round in EOTS. Blizzard’s awesome ticketing system provided the very unhelpful ‘Wait time unknown’ message and I went to the bank to drop off my BG tokens. I checked my mail, expecting some auction returns and got a notice about the same thing, but this time from ‘Customer Support’ which pretty much sealed the deal and led me to believe that no one was trying to trick me or anything like that. I checked my account email again and the message had finally showed up. I present in all it’s glory, my first ever World Of Warcraft warning:

Please adjust the tightness of your crotch.

If you can’t make it out, I was basically reported for saying this: ‘thortok your dick is on too tight’ (as the BG Leader, no less! :D).

Thortok was some clown in one of the EOTS matches that was whining about who-knows-what and basically being of no help to the team. he started giving everyone shit and I started lashing out again (in true Alliance fashion, as I understand it). Anyway, I embarassed him or something and he reported me for harassment. We’re playing  fantasy game where we KILL other beings repeatedly for HONOR, but me telling him that his dick was on too tight just finally crossed that line into inappropriate territory in this ‘Teen’ rated game.

Can you imagine being the GM that has to read reports like this? How absolutely stupid.

I closed out the night with 95 EOTS tokens and earned ~6500 honor from EOTS. Not bad considering AV is the one to grind for honor.
