Just look at that trinket from HoL. Lucky bastard<BR/><BR/>@Brierley - I feel you. You type in gchat "Congratz!" while you are cursing them out in real life lol.<BR/><BR/>@Syrana - <I>"Usually it's me and I thought it was because I have, um... because I'm a girl."</I><BR/><BR/>I lol'd and the Sonic Spear is a good one, I know a bunch of people that got pwned by the RNG gods. <BR/><BR/>@Ribeye - lol...F MAIDEN. I totally forgot about her. The only time she ever dropped my chain heal totem is when I was in there with my Paladin or Mage...DAMN THE RNG GODS!!<BR/><BR/>lolWTFspaghettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304180361553774455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-41645461562833386932009-02-05T02:35:00.000-06:002009-02-05T02:35:00.000-06:00Zul'Aman was so friggin terrible for variety of lo...Zul'Aman was so friggin terrible for variety of loot, I swear we'd run the place 2-3 times in a row and each boss would drop the same crap (oh look, mail chest from Jan'Alai *again*). I was probably 20 runs in before the stupid Life-Step Belt dropped for my Druid, and I never got the Mojo Mender's Mask either. RNG pwnd moment, while I was 2x / week farming for that, I ran one with the Pallytank and guess what dropped for one delighted Shaman? Suck it, Akil'zon.<BR/><BR/> I also had miserable luck with Maiden of Virtue, that bitch never coughed up my Chain Heal totem and I'm still bitter. I ran Kara enough on the Shammy to get within ~5k of Exalted, never even sniffed it.<BR/><BR/> My lastest case of RNG eating my balls is Naxx 25. My guild hasn't been running it as an organized event, so I stay up ridiculously late 2x / week and run it with the Aussie guild (oy! oy! oy!) on my server. As luck would have it, they only have one Shaman, so not much competition. Week 1, we cleared all of Spider + Plague, plus Patchy and Grobbulus. No Shaman loots. Week 2, same thing + Razuvious. This time, 2 drops and I horked the Leggings of the Undisturbed off Noth's lifeless corpse, but the only other thing to drop was the Helm off Heigan, which I was compelled to defer to the other Shammy - especially in light of the fact that the poor gal was still using the Helm of the Lightning Halls. Thank God every single boss drops Healing Plate and Heritage, though.<BR/><BR/> On the plus side, while I've had bad luck with Crimson / Emerald / Dark whelplings, I friggin OWN the Azure Whelplings. I think I've dropped about 7 to date, kept a few and gave the rest to friends - and never more than an hour farming for any of em.<BR/><BR/> Oh yeah, and another thing: for the entire duration of TBC, I didn't drop a single BOE epic, not even a stupid leatherworking pattern. I'm already ahead of that pace in WotLK, though as my Hyldnir dailies yielded the Signet of Edward the Odd a few weeks back. Banked it for teh Rogue, when I finally get off my butt and level her the last 4 to 80.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-28873113593614505262009-02-04T18:24:00.000-06:002009-02-04T18:24:00.000-06:00I like when I'm grouped with Sideshow and we greed...I like when I'm grouped with Sideshow and we greed roll on all greens/blues while questing (unless it's an actual upgrade) and we'll roll the SAME number. But somehow, Blizz makes a determination of who the winner will be.<BR/><BR/>Usually it's me and I thought it was because I have, um... because I'm a girl. But yesterday we both rolled 44's and Sideshow "won" it.<BR/><BR/>Oh, one other RNG memory. When my hunter used to be my main. Heh. A guildie ran Slabs at least 50 times trying to get the Sonic Spear.

I collect the little guys, or at least i would like too and I have been farming for the red one at least off and on for 2 years. <BR/><BR/> I was gifted an azure whelpling and on a Naxx run one of my guildies asked me where to get them. I gave them directions and on their third!! kill of a crimson whelpling there was the pet. Loud cheers and congratulations went up in Guild chat, and I was happy for them too...also terribly jealous and sure the god of RNG is laughing their head off.Brierleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853631640588040679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-84477255118003489482009-02-04T11:59:00.000-06:002009-02-04T11:59:00.000-06:00I must say that overall the rng gods have been goo...I must say that overall the rng gods have been good to me. There is that one caster we from mc that I never did get. After more than a year of mc once a week and only one dropped. I of course lost the roll.

I have had the same shitty luck with the Rat pet dropping fishing in the Dalaran sewers. I have fished about 5 hours at least with no luck. That is time I could have been farming other useless items :)Darraxushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290390808933294129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-1754664310433748582009-02-04T08:02:00.000-06:002009-02-04T08:02:00.000-06:00I think maybe I've got karma going for me. I Need ...I think maybe I've got karma going for me. I Need roll on things that I "need" and pass on everything else. I very rarely Greed roll. That dates back to my very first days of WoW. I didn't really understand how the system worked, so I just passed on everything I couldn't use.<BR/><BR/>As it turns out, my system has worked to my advantage. People are much more accepting of someone rolling Need after they've passed on the previous five rolls. Granted, the system is not perfect. When going after "The Hallowed," everybody and their brother is gonna Need roll on the achievement items.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-37209496238142893922009-02-04T07:43:00.000-06:002009-02-04T07:43:00.000-06:00@valdI don't know, but with the additions of DKs, ...@vald<BR/>I don't know, but with the additions of DKs, plate is definitely sought-after ALMOST as much as cloth.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of disaproportionate to those needing it, Leather drops are horrible!
