With Dustfire, I just Psychic Scream them and that gives me enough time to gather before they come back.<BR/><BR/><BR/>SarahNi<BR/><BR/>Enemies? Dang . . . I mean, I know how frustrating it can be with people camping bosses -- especially more than one group. I was in a group of five and there was another group of six (one of them just wasn't in the party), and then this lone hunter, and the HUNTER waited for the boss respawn and hit him first, so we had to help kill everything or die, and then wait for two more respawns (we got the extra guy in our group b/c Thes didn't have the quest). It was crazy. And I was priest, and offered to res anyone who needed it, so I ended up res-ing this one guy about 4 times.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Stealth FTW! No mob cleaning required."<BR/><BR/>Nice! Birdfall has tried to stealth-nab some quest items, but the murlocs kept noticing her.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275637177494490776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-44160983812959984642007-03-13T15:06:00.000-04:002007-03-13T15:06:00.000-04:00I also wanted to add that when I first read your h...I also wanted to add that when I first read your headline, I thought you were talking about those circumstances where you find it necessary to charge boldly into the midst of a crowd of baddies to obtain a certain quest item. (I frequently do this while soloing bosses with adds -- run in, kill the boss, loot his head or whatever, then book it out of there OR die and rez at the graveyard). That concept would fit your headline quite well, I think.Jon Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844700314444300514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-24000083331732748752007-03-13T12:55:00.000-04:002007-03-13T12:55:00.000-04:00GAH!

It's mostly you, B. The feeling of total, ecstatic exhilaration when you see a yellow dot, that is. In fact, it's one of our running jokes that you are a horder-gatherer. Nevari gave up mining JUST BECAUSE you were doing it. She knew she'd never get another piece of ore with you gleefully running off to gather anything in sight. Also... I don't recall this "clearing out the monsters" thing very well. I DO recall seeing you run toward me trailing two little green slugs, expecting you wanted help killing them, only to see you run RIGHT PAST ME toward a copper node. <_< I had to chase you down and kill them while you gathered. (By the way, this isn't a criticism to encourage you to change... we like it... it's funny... and we appreciate your... erm... enthusiasm). <BR/><BR/>As for "ninjas" - the <I>official</I> WoW slang for the persons you describe who "steal" mining/herbs - just remember that a lot of the people on this game ARE actually children. And people, in general, are greedy. People with total anonymity and total exemption from law are VERY greedy and VERY selfish. I haven't been able to pick an herb for the last 10 levels or so because I wasn't willing to delay the party to gather them at the lower levels. I need to spend a few hours running around the Barrens and picking Briarthorn and Mageroyal so I can start collecting the better stuff. It's irritating when someone "yoinks" my herbs, but I have something they don't - Gatherer *grin*. I can just go back to the place with 6 prime picking spots and camp if I'm really that desperate to get a certain herb.Jon Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844700314444300514noreply@blogger.com
