As much as I like WoW, sometimes I really hate it, too. Like when you breathe a sigh of relief at a narrowly achieved quest and turn to get the hell out of dodge only to realize that some schmuck is yelling and calling you a bitch because you didn’t notice that he was talking at all, nevermind to you.

Seriously, who watches the chat panel while they’re in a fight? I mean, do people do that? How do their charas not die? I can’t even keep mine from running into shit if I pay attention to the chat panel. And I was in a tower full of warlocks, all of whom had voidwalkers, and who kept running behind me while I was trying to fight them, and the VWs seemed like they were multiplying and kept surrounding me, and its fucking to see around them, and I don’t care if I’m 10 levels over them, when they mob me like that, I tend to get my ass kicked. And during all this, I’m supposed to watch the chat panel? And in the midst of trying to figure out which nearby baddie has the lowest HP so I can kill him and even the odds a little and hey, maybe not die myself, I’m supposed to take time to find out what that green swirl was, and then, if its good, take further time to type? And I’m a bitch if I don’t? I’m completely responsible for random other players now?

And seriously, “Simb,” whoever you are, I’m sorry if people like to fuck you over and then singsong that “its just a game,” but honestly, I had no idea you wanted anything, or were talking to me. And thanks for the heal, since that’s apparently what that was. But the thing is — it really is JUST A GAME. And if you really need people to always pay attention when you talk and are gonna get screaming-pissed when people just don’t have the time or thought or notice or whatever to thank you, then this game probably isn’t for you. In fact, life is probably not for you. Calm down, take a deep breath, and remember: Don’t take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive, anyway.
