Bored and not sure what to do? Well, if you're anything like Soulbreeze from the Pink Cupcake Brigade guild on Lightninghoof in World of Warcraft, you could always use that hard-earned knowledge of tradeskills to royally screw with the opposite faction. There again, you could mess with your own just for the fun of it! Today's One Shots shows off one such prank recently perpetrated by Soulbreeze, who writes in to explain the scene: "I have found the ultimate cure for in-game boredom in World of Warcraft: smoke flares! Usually I'll hassle the opposite faction's side of Dalaran with curtains of smoke flares, but this display is set up on the horde side. It requires engineering to make flares, but anyone can use them!" If you see these start popping up all over the place on your server, you'll know who started it!
Do you like pulling off pranks against the opposite faction -- or on your friends? If you've got a good prank planned, snap a screenshot of the ensuing aftermath and send it in to us here at oneshots@massively.com. Be sure to include your name, the name of the game, and a note about what happened! It could wind up being the next image we feature here on Massively.

I think that to people quite often in many games.
It's like nearly every time I log on a game, someone is standing around and broadcasting to everybody "I'm bored." I always think to myself "Log off the F-in' game and go do something else then if you're bored! Don't sit here online broadcasting to us that you're bored - are you so addicted you can't even log off when you're bored?" I really don't like hearing about them being "bored" anyway, it's a downer to log on to have fun and hear someone complaining about being bored (as if the game is boring, when it's really their play style of 16 hours a day game playing that makes them bored rather than the actual game).

It wasn't a prank, just something that amuses me to do when I'm waiting on a queue or chatting with someone. That's what I meant by 'bored'. Waiting on queues. Never liked dailies much so I do stuff like this sometimes. Or guzzle pygmy oil and chase gnomes around. Or eat a small feast and baby spice anyone that /laughs or /pets me. :D

I did this once to the bank door and declared the bank closed. A couple of others played along and acted like they kept getting lost in the smoke.
