Small WoW Geek Tantrum
For anyone that doesn't play World of Warcraft, there are these stupid quests you can do everyday at max level to get some cash. They are called dailies, and most people hate them, but need the cash. One set of them, known as the Skettis, has an escort quest. It can respawn after someone else has done it.

Enter Flenn. Flenn was being all helpful and trying to get a group together for this escort daily. He took his little time, and advertised on general (a chat a lot of 70s turn off as it's mostly annoying spam), had some people together, and even killed all the mobs around the escort quest. He was ready to escort the hell out of this quest, and he was nice enough to even start a group for! What a wonderful team player.

But then, a big meanie named Draeno from Second to None (one of the larger raiding guilds) came and took the escort quest before poor little Flenn could start the quest or message him if he would like to group. So, Flenn and his party had to wait a full ten minutes!!!! for the quest to respawn.

Now, this kind of shit happens all the time. You clear mobs around your herb to pick them, and someone snaked it while you were fighting. Someone killed the elite monster you needed for your quest. This is the minor stuff that most people shrug off and go about their day, especially as half the time such slights are unintentional. It's just a part of the game. If someone is really mad, they contact a guild officer from the guild the person that irked them belongs to. That's pretty much standard WoW etiquette.

But, apparently, Flenn was hurt so badly by the big meanie that he had to post a complaint on the WoW forums, where a bunch of asshole trolls live.

I'm still not quite sure what he was expecting

It's small, but destined to keep going, as Flenn tirelessly responds to just about every post, assuming he's very, very, clever, and in doing so, feeds the trolls who are thinking this is Christmas.

(But, really, he doesn't care).

In the interest of full disclosure, I am in this wank in a minor cameo, and am biased (being in Second to None, not that I know the big meanie). However, I only posted twice, and am not planning to post more. I'm pretty sure I'm not the big star wanker in there, especially in the light that I'm not funny enough. If it needs to be moved to i_wank, then by all means, that's where it should go.
