Pick the orbs… no one picking the orbs that’s why we always loose… whole enemy team winning with full centre domination ppl still say pick the orbs… Alliance never picks the orbs…

Kill the flag carrier

If you are Pandaren fly through and pick the flag first and fly back to base and cap it, test your luck… some ppl said that Monk with a smile… that monk… saw me flying to the extreme ahead of the group.

AV start of battle my monk we flying skateboarding from some hill and onto further on and so much freakin flying that I trippier skateboarded all the way so much further then the group it felt so cool… and no one even said anything because I’m so quick they didn’t see me. I’m serious mists of pandaria flying on AV and I was the only guy who’ve done it cause I was hardcore monk player back then… If you are monk always the rule is to do these things because you are the monk.

If a tank dies, it’s the healer’s fault.
If a healer dies, it’s the tank’s fault.
If a DPS dies, it’s their own damn fault.

If two moonkins meet, regardless of their faction, they most dance with each other.

RNG Hates you. Specifically you.

Everyone around you will get the loot you want because RNG is fair to them, but not you.

Somehow you managed to anger RNG by just rolling your toon into existence.

You are forever cursed to get AP from seals of fate, and titanforges on items that you can’t use or aren’t an upgrade.

That Invincible mount you have been farming for years? The new guy who rolled a gnome and is getting a carry from the guildy on his first run will get it.

Your item level will be 387…in Blue…because that one stupid trinket you can’t ever seem to get an upgrade for.

Valentines Day will kick you right in the Love Rocket.

It’s just how it is.

It’s a hunter weapon.

My unwritten rule is this:

If there is an herb that you can’t get without aggroing a mob, wait until someone else comes to get it, gets in to a fight with mob, run up to herb, get it, leave. (do not help other player kill mob, they will love you for this!)

Hopefully they kill it fast enough to get the herb as well… but if not, se la vie! :smiley:

I am just kidding people… sheesh! Don’t downvote me, don’t do it!!!

Are we talking old-school rules or new-school? So far I’ve seen old school; here are some of the new ones:

  • Tanks don’t make mistakes; tanks only die when their healers are scrubs.

  • If your spec can heal, you should queue into all matchmakers as a healer, even if you’re in your DPS spec. If Blizzard didn’t want you to do that, it wouldn’t be possible, right?

  • A DPS that maxes the meters is even more important than the tank and should get priority heals. Moving costs DPS, you scrub.

  • Your worth as a player is directly proportional to your gear score.

  • When the opposing side raid ganks solo players, that’s cowardly bull!@#$; when your side does it, it’s fair game.

  • If that really wanted your elite skills, they would’ve made sure to bring extra flasks and pots for you. Not your fault they failed to plan properly.

  • If that group wipes a timed instance once, it’s a clear indicator they are not worthy of your elite skills and shouldn’t have wasted your time. Leave immediately.

  • Everyone loves the party bomb. Everyone.

  • Players that insist on carrying another player aren’t dedicated to the game and should be avoided. So what if that’s their spouse or child? You let em know on the way out that bull!@#$ like that will not be tolerated and make sure you publicly insult the scrub player for being a baddie.

Wait, did I say new-school? This is the list from the dawn of WoW forward…

The first rule of Fight Club, you do not talk about Fight Club.

People were still jerks about this not even that long ago. I think it was MoP when I first started the craze of getting all of the spirit beasts and I was after Skoll. I had been after it for days and days, and had resorted to group hopping to a friends server to see if it was up there. Well I didn’t know when I asked for the invite that it was a hugely populated PvP server. I was hovering pretty high on my flying mount and another hunter was there that already had that particular pet. I was using the addon that gives you a loud sound and flashing screen for rares. Well that hunter landed and called his pet, which he named after the actual mob…which set off my addon, so I landed to go for the tame, because I was excited…and yeah he killed me faster than I knew what was happening. Fair is fair, but still a pretty jerky thing to do to another hunter!!!

And peel for yours! Can’t heal you when I’m CC’d or dead!

Also, don’t leave flags or towers undefended.

The first rule of combat is “Incoming fire has the right of way.” The damage we don’t take is the best kind of healing.

Help others that are in over their heads, even if they are part of the other faction, as behind the red or blue flags are fellow humans.

Buff when possible for the same reason as above.

Never forget that everyone started as a complete noob. Be forgiving and take some time to explain things as some of us take longer to get past our noobishness. I’m on year 13 and will let you know when it passes.

"Do not lust on Jaina until we need to break down the wall.

Please.

Please do not lust."

This is going to break a lot of fanbois’ hearts if they don’t raid. :laughing:
