Board thread of the day...

[Rasix]

We can't have nice things.

You know what, with all of the large amounts of tradeskill items I've bought over the course of time, I could have easily fallen prey to this.   I've seen this though being attempted and have mentally put it in my mind to give every auction another look before I rapid fire hit the buyout button.  But you know, when you're buying 15 stacks of light leather, this 9.9 gold can look a lot like 9.9 silver.   This would be also very easy to run with a mule character. 

Anyhow, they say in the next patch money denominations will be more apparent in the auction house.  Now, if they'd only put up more and link the damn things already...

In other random news, I got these in Stratholme the other day.  Easily the gayest item ever in a mmorpg, solidified by the fact that they look like green speedos with short thigh length chaps.   I was one sexy troll for a bit.  Luckily the shaman set pants dropped 2 days later.

[Paelos]

That item is so queer-eye I think anyone wearing it should be flagged for PvP automatically.

[Llava]

It ought to proc the rump-shaking emote.

[schild]

Woollies of the Prancing Minstrel
Binds when picked up
Legs Mail
301 Armor
+10 Stamina
+12 Spirit
Requires Level 53
Passive: Increases your chance to assrape a corpse by 2%.

Those Blizzard people really do have a sick sense of humor.

[HaemishM]

MMOG players seem to go out of their way to prove this over and over and over.

There is no use trying to convince a scammer that they are a terrible person that should have been drowned in a bath tub before society was exposed to them.  The only thing left to do is plot revenge.

Get me Edmund Dantes!

No, no. You need Edmund BlackAdder.

[Train Wreck]

The original poster/scammer is in a guild called pVp.  Maybe RP servers really do manage to filter out certain levels of stupidity.

[HaemishM]

No, they really don't.

[Shockeye]

No, they really don't.

Stop talking about me!

Yep -- and us faggots wearing them WILL come after you and ream you so hard up the butt you'll be swallowing cock with your own shit on it.

However, on a lighter note, that shade of hunter green is SO 1988 no self respecting queer would wear it. I've already sent a note to the Blizzard design folks asking for black leather assless chaps instead. They said they're already working on it for our new Queer-only server, Dancing Queen.

I'm totally making Mr.Slave if they do.

He will, of course, have to be a hunter, so his pet can be:

Awesome.

Hey now, it's not a prison MMOG. Although I do think a prison MMOG would be really cool. Not for the ass-pounding though. Mostly because I'd get to shiv l337 morons.

[Riggswolfe]

I'd nominate this for thread of the day:

FOH favoritism

Not surprised at all and may not be as big a deal as it sounds but it is bad for PR

I'd much rather shank them.

[Murgos]

Tigole posted on a board that wasn't the offical boards!  Shoot him!  Drag him out in the street and have him drawn and quartered!

I read the thread, in it he basically says, "Were aware of the bugs and are working on it, have a nice day."

Meanwhile, how many devs post here?

The only people bothered by this are smacktards who shouldn't be allowed to post on the internet in the first place.

[Riggswolfe]

I've been stirring the pot a little in there. I'm not at all surprised FOH gets dev visitors and am not totally bothered by it. Maybe a wee bit but not enough to care other than tossing a few lit torches into the thread just for the hell of it. (Not like the thread is doing anything constructive anyway.)

[Train Wreck]

If anybody can go to their site and obtain the information, I don't see what the big deal is.

But I agree, throwing lit torches at the powder kegs a.k.a. the official WoW forums is always a nice thing to do to break the monotony of a slow day at work.

[Riggswolfe]

It's a mind numbing day at work as usual. That and I dislike FOH, they're a bunch of arrogant A-holes so it's fun to poke at them when I can do it safely. In this case I just dropped hints that all their high level raid successes are because a Dev told them how to do it and stood back and watched the fireworks.

Not like this would the be first game that accusation has ever been made in. That kind of stuff followed them throughout the EQ days, and I'm not entirely sure it was untrue.

[Threash]

Anyone else find it surprising and pretty retarded the tigole kept the same nick from his EQ days? specially if you remember his last name used to be "bitties"

[HaemishM]

Retarded, yes. Surprising, no. When you make your "name" off of being a little C mouthy asshole, you might as well use that name for all the perks it'll get you, including jobs.

[Merusk]

Because I hate you all..

Today's thread of the day.

[schild]

Today's thread of the day.

And the official name for people who post on the Warcraft boards is "fucktard."

I hate that place.

[Paelos]

Today's thread of the day.

I'm getting all verclempt. Talk amongst yourselves, I'll give you a topic. The WoW boards and the SWG boards are a sucking chest wound on rational discourse, discuss.

[Merusk]

What, this isn't rational discourse?:

"China has a fairly similar level of hardware and nearly twice the number of soldiers. Two and a half million zerglings and a billion+ drones to supply them is a force to be reckoned with. Especially since they have plenty of nukes."

I can guarantee you that the U.S.'s technology is vastly superior to china's and they could never get a nuke into the U.S. if they wanted...I dont think China has bulltes that you can program to a set destinantion that will dodge objects on the way( such as trees, etc...) and can blow up a tank or a railgun taht can shoot about 200 miles or longer im not sure and peirce an armored tank, but those are just 2 examples but i think you get my drift

Honestly, I think any board that invites mass numbers of youth to post on it is bound to be a cesspool of stupid, uninformed and unintelligible posts.  It's bad enough around here sometimes and most folks in these parts can at least be trusted in a room with a big red "do not press" button.

[Strazos]

God, I hate people that cry "SCAM!!" every time someone fucks up  within the economy.

"Oh My God!! I didn't bother to look and I got Ripped off, SCAM!!"

Tough Shit, pay attention next time.

The WoW boards are just about THE worst thing I have ever seen on teh intarweb. The argument about how English isn't the main language of the US is just sad.

"OMG, you can go to places in the Southwest and be screwed cause you don't know Spanish!!"

Yeah, ok. I've been there too, and ya know what? By and large, those kinds of neighborhoods are "poor" and made up of mostly "illegal aliens".

If it was up to me, some kind of functional use of English would be mandatory to living in this country, or using any kind of government functions.

[schild]

Not the best sentence I've ever seen on the board. But then, who am I to call someone politically incorrect.

[stray]

You're someone who understands how to read at least.

He's 3 for 3 on my scorecard. I wouldn't be all that hesitant to call it out.

[AOFanboi]

Parts of that thread are correct, though: There is no federal "de jure" language in the United States. There are enclaves of French, Chinese, German, Dutch, Norwegian, what have you. The bastardized English you use is just a de facto common language.

But as a whole? That thread is scary. It's almost like you want to stop playing MMORPGs to rid yourself of the association with those people.

[Mesozoic]

I used to think that WoW was a public service to draw all the idiots out of other games.  Then I started an alt in CoH.  Turns out that Cryptic is doing their part to entertain massive multiplayer motherfucking mongrels with the low-end game.
