Sometimes I like to run like this
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.

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