Sometimes I like to run like this


Phoebe: Well, I didn't get embarrassed running next to Miss (panting). But no, okay. No, no, I can see why running with me would be embarrassing to you. Yeah, okay. You're uptight.
Rachel: I-I am not uptight—Hey-hey-hey-oh-oh! Listen, I am not uptight, man.
Phoebe: That's okay Rachel. I'm not judging you; that's just who you are. Me. I'm more free y'know? I run like I did when I was a kid, cause that's the only way it's fun. Y'know, I mean didn’t you ever run so fast you thought your legs were gonna fall off? Y'know, like when you were like running towards the swings or running away from Satan? (Rachel looks confused) The neighbor's dog.


My little mage hit 85 last night, and rather than twink her to high heaven and start running heroics, I thought I'd take some of Shintar's advice and run some normal instances.

I must admit I'm rather lazy on my mage.. I  have Arcane Blast bound to left click, and Arcane Missiles bound to right click, and I just mouseover the tank's target, sit back, flail around happily and enjoy.  It's fun.. I don't care about optimising, I don't care about doing the most damage, I am just a bouncy gnome and enjoying it.

So yesterday, I got rather annoyed when out of nowhere this resto druid in my PUG started a running commentary on my playing and telling me everything I was doing wrong.
For instance *If you have more mana, you do more damage* - *What, really? because you know I'm totally incapable of reading the accompanying text to my abilities.*
This went on a while, and they eventually told me that their main is an Arcane Mage.  Right, well, mine is a resto druid, and I didn't pick you up on letting people die.

I should probably explain, that I started in a rather peeved frame of mind, as the tank pulled after I'd just started my mana cakes summon, and also that I was at the top of the damage meter.

But yes, I was playing lazily, and having fun doing it. 

I don't really have much of a point other than, as long as I'm not hurting anyone else, I will play how I fucking well like, and enjoy it.   So don't rain on my parade.

  2. I might have been a bit snippy, but I will not take anyone telling me how to play anymore :)

    I _love_ that episode of Friends.
    And I totally run like that.
