Rant of the dayFollow

/rant on (as if you didn't know...)

Man, I don't know where to start...

Don't get me wrong, I like the new tutorial...

I am in the tutorial last night, almost to level 10. Was fun to do and I had done all the tasks save killing the big boss.

So I go down, get in the group that is *camping* this guy so I can get credit for the kill. My LDoN BP is better than the reward but I am just trying to finish up all the tasks.

The group consists of a couple level 10s, and 2 level 11s. Couple of these people have TEMP if you can believe it. I ask 'why'?. I am going with my level 10 Cleric buffs. Honestly you DO NOT NEED TEMP. With Light Healing I was able to keep the group healed (even the temped ones) and have 50% mana left after the 2 minutes it took to take the mob down. I am guessing they wanted the 10% haste item it drops THAT BADLY. One them was bemoaning the fact that his haste buff was fading!

I mean seriously, we could defeat this mob with 2 players, one a cleric, with self buffs or tutorial buffs only. 4 players with temp? And camping a tutorial mob to boot?

So then they all have to comment about their level 70 mains with 200 AA, I mean really, I am not impressed. You are in the tutorial for petes-sake. You are temped and hasted and are fighting a level 12 mob. I won't bore you with all the uber links I was seeing, but one of these people linked a Soulscream Belt. I felt embarassed only having 'twinked' myself with homemade LDoN crafted armor.

heh oh well...have a nice day...

/rant finished for now

To my understanding isn't haste capped at the level of your toon till level 20?

Alts my boy, alts...

We tag them so if something is up, we can put the call out via guild chat for them to quit fooling around in the tutorial and get on their mains heehee...

Edit: 'cause I can't type goodly

Same scenerio the group would not invite me and there were camping so everyone in the group got there little trinket I was Lv 9 ranger and had completed every task but this one. Wanted to complete at lv 9. ended up doing next morning with a 11 monk and 10 warrior I dinged to ten as he droped arrrgh!

I miss the old fashioned ways. When I started my main there was no tutorial, just a rusty sword, some food, and a tunic. Got myself to Freeport somehow and commenced killing rats. I remember how fun that was!

I have only once twinked a tutorial character and that was just a robe and weapon (wanted to start a Mage to get her high enough to make pet kits for my Shammy's dogdog and then let her sit without levelling her anyway). The rest were just to take a break and they were all on servers where I had no other characters at the time. It's fun to go back to having to do for yourself and even appreciate when someone gives you some hand me down equipment for your newbie char but it helps knowing what you can do and what will send you right back to your bind point lol. I have these baby characters on AB, Povar and Bristlebane so I can get myself lost but guildies can find me (inter-server tells) if they need me.
