Sometimes You’re the Windshield
“Calling all those attuned for Kara! Emergency non-planned Kara run happening now! Who wants to go?”
“OHMEMEME!!” Sayeth BRK.
“Sorry, we’re already full.”
Awww, shucks. /sulk
Off to Netherwing to make leather and money…
Fifteen minutes later:
“Hey BRK, our boomkin has to split, family problem. Wanna come in for Moroes?”
“Summon my massive-DPS @ss and let’s get some!”
Moroes down and two Badges of Justice. Sweet.
Opera, Romulo and Julianne down and two Badges of Justice. Sweet.
About to start Curator and we check our bags. One Badge of Justice. Not sweet.
“Hello, Blizzard? I got hosed. I’m missing three BoJs. Can you help? Love, BRK” /send
Curator down, two BoJs. Sweet.
Aran down, two BoJs. Sweet.
“HEY BRK! GM Phizzle here. Heard you got hosed out of some BoJs?”
“Totally, Phizzle. We’ve done Moroes, Opera, Curator, and Aran, and I only have five BoJs in my bags.”
“Dude. That totally sucks. Does everybody else in your raid have the right number.”
“Yeah Phiz, and they’re mocking me for my non-BoJ’ed-ness.”
“Rude! We can’t have a hunter being mocked. Lemme escalate this.”
“You rock Phiz!”
“BRK, I know I rock, but appreciate the love. Last question, though: Could you have forgotten to loot those bosses? :p”
“Phizster, I totally could’ve forgotten to loot those bosses, except I didn’t. I know I didn’t. I’m a loser and I forget where I’m going sometimes, but I know I looted those guys.”
“My heart bleeds, man. I’m all over this. Escalation in progress. Anything else I can do for you?”
“Dude! Good Infernal drops on Prince, can ya work on that for us?”
“You know it. I’ll punt the Infernals to Goldshire for the next thirty minutes.”
“Sweet. Hasta!”
“Keep rockin’ it, BRK.”
Chess down, two more BoJs. Sweet.
Prince down, Infernals were cruel. Phiz was laughing at us, we know it. Three more BoJs. Sweet.
Warlock? Check. Mage? Check. Illhoof Time!
Illhoof down, two more BoJs. Sweet.
Everybody awake? How about Maiden?
Maiden down, two more BoJs. Sweet.
Attumen? Why not. Attumen down, a final BoJ. Sweet.
Fast-forward eighteen hours into the future, BRK checks his email:
“Dear BRK, heard about the hose-osity and the cruelty you suffered as a result of your lack of BoJs. Check your in-game mail, you’ll find three BoJs waiting for you. Kisses and Hugs, Taiono.”
58 + 3 = 61
Our new leggings are getting closer. Sweet.

Hahaha very nice read, i lol’d.
good luck on the leggings btw :p
Greetings, NE lvl 66 hunter - trollbane
Why can’t all GMs be like that? Why do some insist in pressing the “blame it on the add-ons” macro key?
Love the style of writing matey, brought a big smile to my dial.
Is it just me or are GM’s being more helpful lately.
Last week we had the raid leader mistakedly forward the T5 shoulder token to a warlock (who already had it) rather than our deserving fellow BM bretheren. Seemed to be a problem with Suicide Kings.
RL contacted a GM and was rewuested to get the Lock and Hunter to launch thier own tickets.
Forward 24 hours - hunter gets token in the mails - everybody happy.
Considering it was an addon that lead to the error I was very happy that we got the result we did - expected the old ‘add on’ excuse for not helping us uut, but no we recieved customer service - good one Bliz.
BTW massive haul BRK - gratz matey
Rhoran of Uther
Take off, Hoser!
Gave me a few good laughs.
hehe, I enjoyed that post. Nice to see you got your BoJs.
You seem like you know what you’re talking about. So! I was wondering…
Which are better?

OR
Rip-Flayer Leggings w/ 3 Delicate Livy Rubies (and the leg enchant, but that can be added to both)

Awesome story! Nice GM you had. Same thing happened to the warlock in our spontaneous kara raid last week, but the GM said that Maiden/Moroes were only supposed to drop one badge each anyway.
Glad to hear you got your’s!
Lucky you. Last week hubby ( a rogue ) finally had Malchazeen drop for him. Later, he goes to check is bags - gone! wtf! GMs are all “too bad, get over it”. And hubby is a very polite nice guy, so there wasn’t any attitude aggro or anything. Just GMS who are tossers.
Not to mention the GM who took all the gold from a guildie’s account, because hubby had given her 250g in the mail (hearing she was having trouble paying repairs), and it was considered too large to be a gift…
Yeah, around here you don’t put in tickets. It’s calling unwelcome attention to yourself.

since these cost the same have you considered them…
…less armor, less int but way more dmg unless the haste is too much for your rotation
You never fail to amuse me, BRK. Glad it all worked out!
Never tried and I have lost a couple of BoJ since TBC.
But its typically “this object is busy” thats eats badges. Once People have gone to the hassle of clicked yes to the do you want to loot a bop item they tend to assume it went into their bags.

We had loot issues on a couple runs in the past weeks, actually. First time the master looter’s connection died and we switched ML to the main healer. Next boss down and he can’t distribute any of the loot - all names are grayed out. Contacted a GM, explained the situation, and the two Big Bad Wolf drops are mailed to the recipients. Second time the master looter made a mistake and gave me the leather gloves the druid had won. Contacted GMs again and after the ML and me had both verified that the druid was the one meant to have them, my ticket was escalated and the next day the gloves had been removed from my bag and mailed to the very relieved druid.
Love to the GMs, man. So much love.
That was totally awesome read. I was laughing so hard it wasn’t funny reading it. Awesome sauce!
I think I developed diabetes after all those sweets!
I just got those Leggings and slapped some Nethercobra Cobra armor on them.
Its amazing when you can see a noticable DPS increase just from one peice of gear.
Absolutely amazing. The GMs on US-Alleria *NEVER* do that. They always give the “too bad, we can’t help you” speech.
