The new 2.1 patch reporting feature has made it easier to report people, but yeah, the spammers started this new trend.

Here is a recent thread on the wow forums by a blizzard employee about the group spam in particular.

Not sure if it will help anything though. Luckily I haven't gotten hit with this yet.

Try a mod called Spam Me Not

It works pretty well for blocking the spam, and also recently added a group invite block option.

Dis isn't going to quit over this anyway - he is way too addicted.

[Sparrowhawk]

Addiction I can understand. I only played for 2 weeks and I feel withdrawal being not able to play.

I don't have easy access to store that sells games, but in three weeks I am in a city large enough that I can buy what I need, just not sure what I would need to buy.

When I started playing a bought a $1.99 trial version of the game which made me download the game before I could play.

Now if I want to actually start playing again, I don't know what I need to buy.

I would guess that I need the card to access the game (as I have stated before I don't want to use my credit card to buy the game online), but what version of the game do I buy so that it can do a proper install? (or do I need to do this still?)

I've seen various names for the game but I don't know which is which, the only one I recognize is Burning Crusade which I know from reading is the expansion pack and I don't need that for a while yet.

So while I have a couple weeks to figure it out, can anyone offer tips as to what I should buy or need to buy in order to play?

yea I'm addicted. I deleted my night elf druid and started a tauren one.

I just don't like night elfs. sorry. Yeah a druid is a druid, the gameplay is the same.

Both have racial abilities you can't use while in shapeshift form. oh well. And I'm not even a herbalist.

trying to download the mod right now..

disregard: i found it

[Sparrowhawk]

Do you care to provide a list of your characters? (and anyone else who cares to provide the same would be appreciated). The fact that you deleted a character suggests that you have the maximum number, and I know you have made reference to the various classes before, but where are you at right now in terms of # of characters and levels?

I'll start:

Sparrowhawk
Night Elf Druid Level 19


Having never played anything else I lack the comparison to understand why you don't like Night Elves.

If I started a new character I think it would either be an Undead Priest of an Orc Hunter.

Blood Elf Paladin 39 (almost 40)
Tauren Druid 26
Tauren Warrior 22
Orc Hunter 18
Tauren Shaman 14
Undead Priest 9

Heh here's an approximate list of the toons I played - gone now of course. And I'm only including the highest level of each class.

60 Female Tauren Druid (PvP)
60 Male Troll Warrior (PvE)
59 Female Troll Rogue (PvP)
47 Male Orc Warlock (PvE)
44 Male Troll Shaman (PvE, my first toon)
42 Female Human Mage (PvP)
34 Male Forsaken Priest (PvP)
~32 Female Dwarf Hunter (PvP)
~10 Male Human Paladin (RP)

I also rolled a bunch of other toons, overwhelming Trolls or (female) Nightelves whom never made it far above 20 (some of the lowest level classes above were the ones I played the most toons of - for instance I only ever played 1 shaman and 1 warlock but I rolled quite a few hunters).

You'll probably notice a near-overwhelming horde-bias (with much love for trolls) and near indifference to toon gender with perhaps (more than?) a hint of perverseness, I mean honestly how often do you see a female dwarf?
(When playing my female dwarf someone offered me 1g for a lapdance, that comes #2 in my WoW WTF moments)

[Dis]

okay I must not have put the addon in the right folder (though I did put it in the folder marked add ons). I can't get spam me not to work. Any ideas?

do i put it in the wow main folder?

[Dis]

I deleted a 30 night elf druid, a 16 human paladin, and a 26 dwarf priest. I didn't see myself playing these characters and I wanted all my horde one one server and alliance on another server. I didn't like having both on the same server.

FYI you can have a maximum of 8 characters per server. But as far as I know there's no limit to how many toons you can have.

Shua hao (spelling is wrong, but close enough) server:
64 male Orc Hunter. BM spec
31 male Tauren Shaman
16 male Tauren Druid
26 female Blood elf warlock
23 female Blood elf rogue
17 female undead mage
10 male troll hunter (just messing around with him, don't plan any serious play with him)

Alleria server:
13 female Dranei Paladin
24 female Dranei Warrior

as you can see the only alliance race I like are dranei. I don't like the others for some reason. I guess I like beast races .

1g for a lap dance for a dwarf woman. OMFG!!! editing my post to show genders.

I especially like blood elf females. I love their cry sound. I make her cry all the time. And I love the joke about the undead and murlocs.

so for anyone on those servers I can provide help if needed. I have a wide variety of toons to choose from. Although only one really high level.

[Dis]

oh and I blow away that paladin in dps. That dps meter had to be wrong.

We partied for some group quests in the marshlands in outlands.

He's even a protection spec too, and still couldn't hold aggro. I had to hold back to prevent from pulling aggro. Granted I'm a little higher level than him now, but still. I had to turn growl back on for my pet. This still cuased a few weird problems as aggro was shifting between my pet and him. But it was a good thing for that elite in the pools of aggronar. He hit hard, and really got the paladin and my pet to low hitpoints (we had no healer).

I think I'm holding my own despite having very little blue equipement. I'm still on all greens.

granted not everyone plays paladins the best. I beat a 12 paladin with my 10 druid yesterday in a duel. The guy had no clue how to shield himself and heal. . I don't even think he used his seals and judgements. He just swung his sword at me. . roll a warrior buddy. And I'm not that good at playing a druid. I got pwnd by a hunter later in the day.

Pallies are hard to play, IMO. If you don't sequence your stuff right, you're not building enough threat. You have to really understand what builds on what, which cool downs to keep on top of, etc.

Further to that, they just absolutely get robbed in PvP. I don't duel, period - it's a waste of time. I used to get killed by Ally 2-3 levels lower than me, though I'm managing better now.

I think part of my problem is that I didn't grow up playing fast-paced frenetic games with constant movement - I see players dueling or PvP fighting and they're practically hopping and dancing around each other like they're on speed - no way I can do that - I just don't have that kind of motor control.

The number one problem that I have faced as a Paladin in pve is that players expect you to tank as a warrior.

I don't think Paladins are the best tanks, but it requires the group to understand how Pally tanking differs from Warrior tanking.

And that seems a bit too much to ask of most groups most of the time.
