		<description>I&#039;m Knocking on the door to 50 myself.
Build my own computers   (Duel core is less than 6 months old)
Play WOW
Game Admin on several FPS servers. 

So, I&#039;m busy.   :)

And yes, there ARE some sick sick people out there..   

My first ever guild back Pre-BC, and people would come to instances or Raids with ZERO FA. PVP extreme, so they didn&#039;t farm for mats, and never had any money for repairs, not to mention not having any Pots or Food buffs. (Too much trouble to level Cooking, or Fishing, or a Main Profession)        Why even GO on an instance run or raid if you can&#039;t afford it? 
Those are the same people who roll on EVERY drop. We&#039;ve all seen them. 

That&#039;s like going on a camping trip with the guys, but you show up in T-shirt and Shorts, and expect everyone else to feed you, house you, lend you clothes, and transport you there.  MUST be their charming personality.</description>

		<description>So anyway, thanks for preempting a great article I had written in my head about raid prep, BBB. ;) 

I kinda know where Game Dame&#039;s coming from, being closer to 60 than 50...and knowing more about computers than almost anyone else my age and most of those younger than I. (I hate going to Best Buy and knowing more than the salespeople.) (Or Circuit City, etc.)

Anyway...you can bet I&#039;ll be doing better gear checks now on Kara raids. Anything that is normally stored in the garage is NOT permitted.</description>

		<description>LOCK MY COFFIN AND SEAL IT AIRTIGHT OMFG.......

I would be absolutely mortified if someone dug up my/a friend/a family members coffin (and body).  FOR ANYTHING.  Unless it was legal issues that were actually important.

You are right, I couldn&#039;t care less about what people do in guild now.  Just show up and don&#039;t tell me what you do IRL!  

I think I also may make up a fake name for kicks...</description>

		<description>@Graimerin
I&#039;m over 40, and no way I&#039;m near finished with this game.

@BBB
Sorry, but in Oz we have a saying &quot;Only in America&quot;, this fits into that generalisation perfectly. 
No, I don&#039;t need links to articles about Snowtown, tyvm; we have our bizarre, but the good old US of A sets the bar high. No reflection on individuals, just with a population X times greater than our mere 21 million, there&#039;s bound to be more crazies.</description>

		<description>Game Dame, you must have assumed I was insulting everyone 40 and over.

Since I&#039;m mere months away from 40 myself, I would think most folks might agree that insulting everyone 40 and over wasn&#039;t really where I was going with that.

I was merely stating a fact, that many of my coworkers, in fact the majority of them that I work with on a daily basis in direct regards to issues concerning electronics, computers, and digital processes, are, to my certain knowledge, unaware of the very existence of the online world in which we live. 

I was trying to make a point that, on the other hand, people growing up today in this brave new world take all of these wonders for granted, and indeed with a certain amount of arrogance and an assumption that this is the way things have always been. Clearly, I did not spend enough time making that point.

It never occured to me folks would assume I was insulting an entire generation my own age. I didn&#039;t think about that aspect of how it could possibly be taken. My bad.</description>

		<description>one little tiny minor detail I wanted to point out regarding gem availability.
I don&#039;t know about honor hold, but the thrallmar inn does not have a vendor that sells precut green quality gems.  There is, however, a vendor that sells precut WHITE quality gems and also a trainer that sells the designs for cutting your own green quality gems if you are a jewelcrafter.  Not to mention the vendor with a couple better-than-green gems (but not quite as good as blue cuts) for hellfire peninsula pvp marks.  For metagems, there are the pvp vendors at stonebreaker/allerian who have a couple for just a few spirit shards from auchindoun bosses as well.  That said, even white gems are enormously better than nothing, and on the auction house, green quality gems are still pretty cheap, too, so there really is no good excuse not to have all your gem slots full.</description>
