SoW Casters UNITE!Follow

That is taken out of context though. Yes, he may have sounded like an *** at that moment, to that guy, and to you if you take it as an isolated incident, but he had been dealing with that type of behavior already for an extended amount of time. You could say it was just the straw that broke the camels back. It happens to everyone. Something annoys you and you take it in stride, until finally you've had enough, regardless of if it was the same person.

He didn't say he wouldn't buff them. He asked them to hold on a minute. You know what happens if my kids keep pestering me for something after I tell them to hold on a minute? They sure as hell don't get what they wanted, I can tell you that. That's what it boils down to here in most cases I think. Most people don't mind people that act like polite, consciencious adults. If you're acting like a little whining brat, you grate on peoples nerves.

Here's my suggestion for all those people out there that HAVE to beg for SoW.... ask a ranger! I can speak from personal experience, I LOVED passing out SoW with my ranger. It made him feel wanted! I bet if you ask a ranger for SoW, he'll throw every buff on you that he can without even asking if you want them. Everybody wanted 1 or 2 buffs from him all the time, everything else the druid could do better, so when a newb asked for SoW, I was there to cast it. So, pump up those rangers egos a little, make them feel wanted, ask THEM for a SoW.

You know I read through these boards and actually found an old topic that has happened since day one of this game and after 6 mos or so brought it back to the fornt to see if opinions had changed.

The amount of single line obnoxious flames and attitudes is ridiculous. I will state my opinion and rehash old ideas and you can keep your hole shut or you can talk newer alla's members and let them know so all the damn noob's can learn!

Hey Can I get a SOW PLEASE!!!!

Shup, you. Necroposting is considered bad form around here. If you want an opinion, start a new thread.

See? Even you can learn to respect your betters.

No it's not wrong, it's just that you seem to imply that Dot is obliged to buff people when certainly he's not.

No matter how polite they are, buffing someone is by choice, politeness helps, but remember by asking you are giving the person you ask a choice and so must accept all possible answers. Otherwise you're telling.

Close but no cigar.

These two were actively hunting the mobs near the Mino mine. They saw me pull up and probably /who and saw I was a druid and asked for sow. Well sorry, Sow was not memmed, I was just about to launch my attack.

Oh no, can't do that. Can't be a jerk and say, 'hang on a sec'. No, I have to unmemm a needed spell, mem SoW, AND damage shield, oh and they probably needed skin too, heck throw a STR on us and our pets while you are at it...

Mob in question was maybe one or two levels lower than me, heals itself, and I would have used more than half my mana to defeat it. No I did not have any mana to spare. So your ten seconds just turned into 5 minutes. Oops, my own buffs just ran out, gotta med and rebuff...make that 10 minutes.

Sorry bub. If they were patient I would have done ALL that, but they were not so "too bad so sad". What it boils down to is NO you dont deserve SoW or any buff "just because" and if you pester me you just earned a /ignore.

This thread is now officially sentient and can continue to live of it's own volition.

Also, I was feeling a bit left out that I was the only person that's posted at Alla's in the last five years that hadn't chimed in here...

Prime examples of why necroposting is teh lose...

/applaud Dothammer.
It's not everyone who gets a shot at immortality :-)

With over 6,400 posts, you've proven that you're willing to reply to just about any post, regardless of when or why. I'm really not sure why this is such a bug up your greaves. I can't imagine why it bothers you or anyone else to revive a thread, as long as the post is topical. Ironically, if they did start another thread as you suggested, they would have inevitably been set upon by the Duplicate Thread ****'s.

Unless you have your sights set on the 10,000 mark, just exercise your right to ignore.

1 sow? 10 seconds? Maybe.

No, there were two of them with a pet each. I was not about to set up a buffing station for 2 characters who were getting along just fine without my buffs.

I did not come to an out of the way place to buff people. I came for my own purpose. If I buff you it is my choice and your lucky day.

Lets experiment and you other casters tell me if I am exagerating. By the way I did not have any clarity or even breeze.

Test:
I unmemm a spell, and memm SoW. I have to wait for SoW to refresh before I can cast. Now, cast and refresh SoW 4 times, don't want to be a jerk and not give everybody SoW. Ok, while I am waiting to recast SoW I save time and mem Damage Shield. Remember he wanted that for his pet. Oh, make that 2 pets I forgot. Hmm there is a refresh time on DS as well...Dang another spell gem needs to be rememmed... Skin has an even longer refresh and takes a good chunk of mana to boot. Oh, forgot STR too...

Ok now I have to rememm the original spells, and med up. Oh no, my own buffs just wore off. Dang, rememm buffs, wait for refresh, buff self...OMG! OOM! Yes it does take 5 minutes or *gasp* longer to go from OOM to FM. Yes I would be OOM if I did the above.

And the above scenario would take at LEAST 10 minutes to achieve and get back to square 1. If you doubt me, ask any buff class person.
