Introducing your writing staff

The n00b and the loot whore.

Last night I wiped the raid. In Mags, all buffed up and ready to go. Just needed the tanks in place.

I was anxious... I was keyed up... I was ready to go.

I played with my scroll wheel... and then disaster struck.

You see, my scroll wheel is a little different. Sure, you scroll it back and it moves the camera back; However, you scroll it forward and it starts my shot rotation macro.

Oops... yeah... I screwed the pooch on that one. In my defense I will say that I had not targeted the mob and that there is a a little quirk in the game right now where Hunter shot sequence macros are automatically picking up targets... but I knew about this little bug and still played with my scroll wheel.

As penance for my boneheaded move I will be paying a fine of 100 gold to the Guild Bank. And I think that anyone who pulls such a n00bish move as I did should consider a donation to the guild bank as a mea culpa.

As for my co-contributor, well all I know is that before I signed off he took all the loot from the High King, he probably ninja'ed all the stuff from Gruul too.

Edit: As for my ranking on the n00b scale... I would think it pretty high, but I will leave it to Legarius to decide my final fate.

I was hoping that "playing with your scroll wheel" and subsequently "shooting off a sequence of macros" was simply a metaphor for something else... sadly, I was there when the event occurred. It all just happened too quickly. And then it was over. I didn't get my "heal off" :( Calex

Jon, remember like 5 minutes ago when Bdub wiped, and I said a 9.4 on the scale... Well it is a good thing you talked me down on that one. What you did was twice as noobish. 9.554 on the scale. I only gave you that to leave room for more noobitity.
