My wife's Warlock named HarryDotter is going to have to fight Arthas now...

You are a Panda there, not a Blood Elf. ;)

Codex Alera, by Jim Butcher. He also wrote the Dresden Files. I recommend both.
Hunger Games.


Oh as for a question:
Does anyone else think not listing your losses sort of ruins the point of the pet battles? The pandaring to people not feeling bad is dumb. It makes facing really good players difficult and it I do this, I would want to be facing those folks, not the person with 200 wins but a 10% win ratio.

Yes, I spelled it like that on purpose.

Pyro: he has a boy toddler. Probably around 2-3.
I made a suggestion once about lifting his butt up if he decides to start playing the "peeing on daddy's
face to watch him freak out is fun" game. And a lot of people got upset.

It still is the most effective way to end that game, neither of my boys did it again after they hit themselves with it.

Next time you have one created, look at it really closely and realize this: death rises up out of the ground, looks all impressive for a second, and then opens his cloak and flashes the lot of you.

Once you see it, you can never un-see it. Death is showing you his happy bits as you stand around wiggling your fingers to make your friends appear.

I miss loot reaver. A fight where the ranged were actually more penalized than the melee and threat generation mattered.

Gold sink: 50,000g.
Money bag mount. Only can be used by players < level 10. Only can be used in the city. 100% speed mount. That's right folks, your bank alt in the tuxedo can ride a BG of money around.

Upgraded for 500k to fly. Again only in the city.

Pet companions: Look like a thimble. A train, wheelbarrel, etc. none of these can be used in pet battles and are BoA. Cost astronomical amount of gold.

To be fair, there was a gnome in the Burning Crusade Cinematic. I you watch it again, look for when the undead Mage is attacked by Murlocs. He blows them all away with a fire nova thing.

There's a gnome rogue there. You have to look real hard for him.

Oh please. The Hirde doesn't blow up school busses. We wait till they are at home, comfy, and then drive them an their moms into the quillboars.

Oh wait...

;P

I agree 100%. It's a gold sink, a time waster and incredibly annoying. It is also an excuse to put horrible stats on gear for the class you know will use it and have the rather lame excuse "you can reforge it". Sorry, but when tier 12 is packed with the only secondary stat that isn't crap for a spec, and tier 13 has 2 pieces with it, someone dropped the ball. (look at enhance tier 13)

It's
Enchanting the gear, basically. If it did not cost a ton of gold EVERY TIME I got an upgrade, I'd almost be okay with it, but come on...
