I Watched Him Die

Questing in the cave north of Dolanaar on my level 9 druid last night. Doing my usual thing of buffing everyone with Thorns and Mark of the Wild.* One of the people I buffed, a level 8 Nelf hunter invited me to group, and I accepted. Then, I saw their name, which was offensive enough that I immediately dropped group and went about killing mobs until I reached Lord Melenas and his two grell sidekicks. I was standing there contemplating whether I really wanted to die in a cave when Mr. Inappropriate Name ran up and invited me again. I declined his group invite. Mr. Edgy then proceeded to pull, kiting the trio down the cave. I moved to an out of the way corner where I could shadowmeld and watch quietly. Edgy kited far enough that Melenas and the add he didn’t kill reset and ran back. He then ran up, invited me, I declined, and he pulled again. This time, Lord Melenas ate his face, and he died. I had a sensible chuckle and decided Melenas could wait another level or two.

RIP Edgy McEdgelord

Protip: sexual assuault isn’t funny in 2023.

  • Yeah, I buff people. I even wander around starting areas handing out bags and buff food. What can I say, I’m a carebear at heart.

I happen to use XX and XY pronouns myself. To each their own.

It’s okay. I watch people die all the time.

Like when people are in a race to get the boss tag after I did all the work killing the minions along the way. Then they want to invite when they’re nearly dead.

I simply assume they didn’t notice me.

Helps keep my blood pressure down.

I have seen some bad names on Defias.

I’d have let them die too.

Risk assessment is part of the game.

My HC partner got onto me for helping randos - cause if they died and I had tagged the mob, then it’ll be after me.

Situational awareness is key in all situations. Sounds like this Night Elf wasn’t aware of anything. But you where.

Also, shadowmeld is op and very under utilized.

I’m currently working at the Department of Redundancy Department, apparently.

Long story short - caves and big bad mobs = bad.

Don’t feel bad. The OP still says PIN Number and ATM Machine.

Guilty as charged.

I may be a snowflake, but I am a highly amused snowflake.

My favorite is one time I was riding struggle bus killing this one mob and these players just watching me fight em. Then when they realized I’m gonna win they wanna send an invite. Lol you’re not getting credit for watching me fight.

there are certain jokes that are funny, but this isn’t the medium for them.

And then every other low level in the cave stood up and clapped.

That druid’s name? Albert Einstein.
