POST FROM INSOMNIA LAND: From Lowbie to Highbie Plus No Regrets
Up at 2:00 AM. I’ll be a walking undead by the time I get to the funeral. Might end up even deader than the deceased once the service is over.
I’ll just use this witching hour to reminisce about my days as a lowbie. I remember how my first set of toons were all troll hunters because I was too chicken to get close to the target (and I like trolls. I think they’re cool). I’d fire an arrow, then back up, back up, back up while firing away until I’m forced to ax them. Sure I died so many times…even got Remus and Cletus killed after I ordered them to charge into a mob of Razormanes while running away with 10% HP (Go, guys, finish them all! Yeah you’re only Lvl 5 and those f*ckers are Lvl 8 and above but no guts, no glory! ). But trolls have always worked best for me. Tried Alliance the first year and….never mind. I don’t want another round of hate mail (and death threats) from the Alliance people. I got a lot of flak for the anti-Alliance content in my Battlecry post .
I’ve been playing Horde since I abandoned my Alliance toons. IMHO, the Horde side has the most savage creatures. Which means more fun and challenge.
Which also means the three of us die more than we would like to, and the more we whined about our crappy armor and the cost of better ones (and how my leadership skills in instances suck).
As we leveled up and got pets to fight for us, we’d go back to the same places where we got our asses kicked and re-engage in combat with the critters who sliced and diced us when we were lowbies. Payback is a bitch.
As we reached highbie status and acquired better armor, the more broke we became. We got really cranky inside and outside the game. (Yeah, we were THAT affected) The straw that broke the camel’s back was when other players started acquiring mounts (courtesy of gold they purchased from RMT sites; we knew - they told us). And that’s when Cletus, Remus and I had an epiphany:
GRINDING IS SO GAY.
And that, folks, triggered the start of our WoW gold buying spree.
Only I lifted that spree to a career when I made it my business to review gold sellers. Life hasn’t been the same since the first review. I’ve gained notoriety and more enemies than Kim Jong-Il. But hey, at least I got my mounts and impressed the chicks in the game!
Life is good, but life in WoW is just SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Tried wowmine.com before I found this site….been more than 36 hours since I ordered. Lucky for me I was smart enough to order the smallest amount to test them out. Below is my last chat talk with their “live” support. Live is in quotes because I get the feeling “Tracy” was not an english speaker and the delay was him/her trying to use a translator program. It’s a funny chat nonetheless and I’m only out $7 but I’m still pissed.
Chat InformationDue to a sharp increase of our business, we are currently handling a significantly high volume of chat requests. As a result, waiting time may be longer than usual.The rolling banner on the right is sponsored by MMOMaven.com. Feel free to check it out while you’re waiting for the next available agent. Thank you for holding.
Chat InformationYou are now chatting with support agent ‘Tracy’
Chat InformationYour Issue ID for this chat is (edited out)
Tracy: Hi! ****. Welcome to the LiveChat Service!
Let me know how I can be of help while I’m pulling up your order details (if you have filled the pre-chat survey).
I am actually handling many customers at the same time for a prolong period. Response time is slower than usual. Just bear with me here. I will use Canned Responses (CR) to increase chat efficiency. Feel free to ask me to elaborate if you find the CR unfitting.
Tracy: HI
ME: me again
Tracy: IS there anything else i can do for you?
ME: like make more false promises?
ME: I don’t like the attitude personally.
Tracy: US Grizzly Hills A **** 105 ?
ME: lol you tacked on that extra 5 I see.
ME: will I be getting it in 5 minutes like the website promises?
Tracy: Sir just now i promise you you will get soon, and now we are hurrying up with your order
ME: but I’ve been hearing that for 36 hours. everyone tells me they are hurrying up with my order but somehow I get the feeling you just say that to all the customers so they stop bugging you.
Tracy: Usually we are quick.
ME: but….to be fair to you Tracy you promised me personally I would get my order so I will wait one more hour before I contact paypal to get my money back and file a fraud complaint with them.
Tracy: But these days we really have some difficulities
ME: and no you usually aren’t quick
ME: you don’t pay your farmers and all your reviews say it’s a scam and not to use wowmine.com
Tracy: We are terribly sorry for your waiting. But we are now working hard on it to make sure you can get it ASAP.
ME: it’s all false promises and double talk. I’m sick of hearing it, Tracy. I will wait one more hour though just for you cause you promised. then I’ll deal with paypal directly and the attorney general. thanks again for your time.
ME: lol you just cut and pasted that last response. I’ve seen it about 10 times now from 5 different people.
ME: you realize that says you weren’t working hard on my order before I came in here every hour to complain.
ME: see you in an hour tracy…..maybe not if you can make good on that promise to deliver my gold though. I sincerely hope this is the last time I have to come here. If you do get my gold in an hour I’ll come back just to personally apologize to you. How’s that sound?
ME: are you still there?
ME: HEY!
ME: don’t ignore me
Tracy: Yes
Tracy: I am listening toyou
ME: so how does that sound?
ME: you don’t know what I’m talking about do you, Tracy
Tracy: Sir you do not apologize to me. We will thank you very much for your great patience, if you may give us a little bitmore time
ME: yep you got one more hour. then I’ll go to paypal and forcefully get my money back.
ME: bye
Just like the time before this I got no goodbye from Tracy. I couldn’t believe the attitude I got from the start though lol “IS there something else I can do for you?”
Um yeah how about get my small ass order of 100 gold that I’ve been waiting 36 hours for! oh it’s 105 now. I feel so lucky to get an extra 5. I’ll never see any of it. I know this comment doesn’t fit the topic but I wanted to post it to the most current topic. Never use wowmine.com people…be smarter than I was.

@ Disgruntled - When the time I saw Madonna’s hot pic on Wowmine, I never trusted that site en–nee–mowr. LOL
Anyways, even though there are scam sites like wowmine, I still thank the RMT’s…they make my WoW-life more fun. :3
