cooking-That +Sta food for petsFollow

That’s exactly how it works. You eat it and your pet gets the buff. So it doesn’t mater if your pet eats fungus or not.

Edit:


Sweetpea, my level 68 pink tallstrider, takes exception to that. And don’t say that too loudly around bats or turtles either.

With a quick use of the search function, you would have found Sporeling Snack. The comments under which specifically say that the food is eaten by the player to buff the pet, not fed directly to the pet.

It's not that you didn't know, it's that you couldn't figure it out, therefore Blizzard was somehow at fault. If you go through the quest descriptions, tons upon tons of comments under the description include things like, "I tried such and such and it didn't work...this $#@^% quest is bugged. GG Bliz." ...and in actual fact the quest is fine, just the person trying to do it was doing it wrong.

That's what bothers me...the attitude that, "I can't figure it out on my own, therefore someone else must have done something wrong." When I first tried to use Sporeling Snacks, I did the same thing you did. Considering that I was trying to feed to to a boar, and boars eat anything, I knew there had to be something amiss. Would it have been advisable for me to come here and blame Blizz for creating a pet food that apparently no pet in the game could eat because boars can eat anything and my boar can't eat it? No, I figured it out through a few seconds of experimentation. Another alternative would have been to come here and ask how to use it, without taking a shot at Blizzard for your inability to figure it out.

Wait, hang on. This is starting to get ridiculous. How many retards are going to be calling us "Seniors" (that gave me a solid rl chuckle) out because they get criticized for making a stupid post? Are these guys breeding? Are they somehow managing to find people of the opposite sex and actually get some? I refuse to believe this, and thus this post has ceased to exist.

(Or been Sub-Defaulted...)

I just don't get how many people are getting all butthurt about this stuff? I knew the Thottbot merger would ruin Allakhazam. All the retards that come from there, have now heard of our turfs.

Listen lad. You got pissed when you were called on your own lazyness, and **** poor attitude. You immediately lashed out against someone who not only gave you an answer to your problem, but also gave you a fairly good hint how these forums work. Namely:

1. Try to find out for yourself first.
How? Search box to your left. Tons of information down the sidebar. One of those: Professions. One of those: Cooking. Within Cooking: Sporeling Snacks! Easy, huh?
2. If you can't find out through searching, check the stickies in the relevant forums. Since this is a Hunter forum, not a cooking one, it is not relevant as such.
3. You have done all the above? Good! Make a post, stating your actions, and questions. Or merely an informational statement, if you feel like it. If you immediately assume you are right, and Blizzard/Allakhazam/Sticky/you bloody name it, is wrong, you show an attitude that isn't appropriate on any forum. Why? Because the chances of an entire database of gathered data and information being less accurate than your own perceptions and opinions... well, it is about the same as the chances of me waking up tomorrow with Willow, Jack Sparrow, Milla Jovovich and Vin Diesel after very exhausting orgy.

Xordon, who is a very decent fellow and a carebear to boot, took pity on you. He even linked you to a thread which showed what happened to people who can't take completely normal criticism. And you make fun of him? He was doing you a favor you ridiculous cumrag.

If you wish to be a poster here, drop the attitude. It will gain you nothing, until you have proven to be someone worthy of listening to. If you do nothing but spout venom as soon as someone directs some criticism at you, you don't even belong in society. Seriously, grow a thicker skin. It's amazing you aren't see-through.

Also, you realise that non of this downrating would have happened if you hadn't gotten all pissy in your second post. Your question was answered, In fairly good detail by two posters. AureliusSir simply made a fairly tame statement about not blaming blizzard, and for some reason you took that as a personal insult and started attacking him and calling him an arrogant l33t jerk, when in fact he is none of the above. Your rating had stayed at decent up to that point, so clearly no one actually found major fault with the initial post. Like north said, grow a freaking skin.

I think you were just looking for a fight here, and fabricating trouble where none existed. Feel free to wander over to wowhead, but they don't really have a forum, also their posts get downrated faster then a squirrel on speed. Only the best posts stay as it is a pure information site.

The whole thing about the OP blaming Blizzard for his own failure....totally the fault of American society. The last few generations have been raised so privileged that the mere notion of them doing anything wrong can never occur to them, and when their own ineptitude shines through their puny brains can only surmise that it is the fault of some other person or thing.

You see this every time some ****** who hurts themself sues the business they got hurt at (when it is their fault). Just the other day a woman in my store was pouring herself a cup of coffee, when she spilled it all over herself because she wasn't paying attention. And she immediately turned it onto us, the clerks, as though it were our fault. THEN she wanted the coffee for free. No f---ing way, LOL.

So yea, I was a little peeved too by the OP's comments, but not so much to start tearing into him the way others have. He or she is just a product of our society. Can't blame them.......

Or can you?

AureliusSir was a jerk in his first post in this thread, and most of the "Senior" posters that are backing up AurelisSir are being jerks as well. If you don't see the problem with his ENTIRELY unnecessary comment "The dumbest things in WoW are sitting behind the monitors of too many of its players." then you are willfully being a jerk. Besides, his entire post had a very snarky attitude, even if any other individual sentence was not all that bad in and of itself.

Having 3k+ posts doesn't make you better than anyone. Indeed, if anything it makes you both more knowledgeable and more responsible for what you say. I personally have over 3k posts on a number of boards on the internet, and when I see someone with only 37 posts on those boards I go out of my way to be helpful and friendly. That way the new people keep coming back, making the board stronger and more interesting, adding to the discussions, rather than leaving and making the board weak and boring.

If you have 3k posts and your immediate reaction to a simple question is to be a jerk then you have the problem, not the person asking the question, no matter how stupid the question may be to you. Especially since you don't HAVE to respond. If you are going to answer a question and be a jerk about it, or even just a bit snotty, then don't bother answering at all (and yes, this applies to the OP's response as well).

If he didn't get rated into oblivion he might think twice about doing it again, though you have to ask, has it ever changed anybody else's opinion?

I BLAME THEM FOR ME GETTING WHITE HAIR AT 20!!!!

Well... Lungs are alredy chewed to ****, chain smoking FTW!!!

Well...'cept Bill won't let me smoke at my desk... wait, no, I BLAME THE GOVERNER!!! Damn anti-smoking legislation...

Though you have to wonder whether the pure high output damage of MM is related to the pure high output of my Sulfer Farts...

Oh wait... No that was the eggs this morning.

Usually things go downhill for me when I am drinking and on my shammy supposed to be healing a 5 man somewere... Things start to distract me, and then... people die... and I get blamed...

My Response usually goes like: "Sorry, the bright colors from you exploding looked so beautiful it was hard to concentrate on anything else"
