This is actually a true story. On launch night, we were a few hours in and realized that our Legendary-toting Boomkin was sitting in the Barrens somewhere fishing up Tasty Crapfish and Garbage Trout trying to get realm-first fishing, two of us were hanging out in starter zones furiously battling and taming new pets, and our infamous guild AH tycoon was expanding his financial empire with lucrative Pandaria ore/herb sales.
…not quite the BLOOD AND GLORY Horde you hear about, is it?
Garrosh would be so ashamed.
(THERE WERE PETS TO TAME, OKAY)
Speaking of GOLD, are you making mad bank off the veggies being grown each day at your farm? Are you stopping to fish in the pools of PROFIT that are scattered about Pandaria? Seriously, it’s never been easier to make some easy, low-effort cash in the game, and it’s awesome – and hilarious – to hear people excitedly talking about their bountiful carrot empires. I love this game.
The following phrase can often be heard on our Raidcall server:
‘Those pet battles are a little bit addictive …’
And I’m starting to see this in chat:
‘Must go to bed before I start any more pet battles’
I genuinely went to bed with a headache after too many pet battles the other night.. but damnit I got that Tiny Bog Beast!!
You forgot “bashing faces against loading screens”.. or was that just us in the EU? *sob* Let’s do a dungeon! They said. Yeah great idea! They said. Flajn erf nhadgan.
Hahaha I need more alts/plot spaces farming me those carrots! Pet battles have stolen at least 4 of my guildies *laser eyes at Ayms*
About 8 in the morning I got a whisper from a RealID friend:
“So I’m looking down my RealID list, and I see Jade Forest, Jade Forest, Jade Forest, Jade Forest, Jade Forest, Wetlands, Jade Forest. Wait. What?”
Me: “I’m doing pet battles”
Him: “oh, okay”
10 minutes later I get: “You know, this is pretty cool”
I think my main just wants to retire on her farm, with a few trips a week to Halfhill.
Actually, while I’ve made over 30,000 gold since launch, it hasn’t been from veggies and fish. Instead I’ve been selling the ever loving crap out of leather, and (since I get a ton and a half of it as a tailor) windwool. Plus I do a ton of dailies every day to get the various reps up, being a raider and all.
Think I saw half of my guild get achievements for pet battles days before anyone hit 90. BUT OMG TINY HARBINGERS OF DOOOOM, WHO CAN RESIST?
Also, I may be too attached to my farm produce… It was only yesterday when I literally had NO BAG SPACE LEFT ANYWHERE that I reluctantly caved and sold all them turnips. Although HOLYCASHCOW they go for a lot on the AH, I never knew before this /sheepishflail
nonono, selling jade lungfish and reef octopus! =)
I … may … have gotten my daughter addicted to pet battles, she who never had patience for companion pets… heh. (caged some of the ones I still had like nine of and gave them to her.)
It’s not surprising to hear people say on Twitter that this is the best x-pac so far. I just love the variety of things we can do this time ’round. So many things I want to do, so little time… I need some clones 😛
