What's a comaprison? Is that some sort of lockup for accident victims?

You are a Nazi.

I know racial slurs are a part of daily speech for many people. They're not for me though, nor most of the civilized parts of the world. Thankfully Blizzard and I are in agreement on this and I'm more than willing to help them mete out discipline for those who break this rule :)

Let me guess, OP. You're one of those idiots in the trade channel dropping N-bombs and talking about peoples' mothers.

too bad they didn't ban you outright.

at least you're not on my server.

I can't believe someone would have problems not doing anything for 3 hours. You're kidding right? You should get used to it since I get the impression that this will not be your last ban.

wow, what are you, like 12? Sad if you're older. Instead of playing WoW, read a book on proper grammar. Just reading your ridiculous vomit of a paragraph makes me want to kill myself.

i know what i said was a bit harsh, but reading your original post i was pretty disgusted. why do you think you need to police people on racial slurs? if they need to learn not to use them, video games aren't the place to be "taught a lesson" (double negative, i know but i am a bit lazy to fix it.) gimme a break... and the punctuation bit? you're pretty much asking to be stamped with "anal retentive" on your forehead.

all i am trying to do is defend my comment and maybe put it in perspective. i don't think you're a nazi nor do i use the word literally.

this is not a continuation of a flame war, nor am i trying to make more personal attacks against anyone, so please (don't) try to moderate (a non-existent problem) accordingly.

Not much makes me think less of a person than them being racist. I'm absolutely going to use the system in place the way it's intended. If you don't like it, follow the rules and you'll be just fine, or find a venue where it's allowed. There are white supremacist forums out there, find one and use all the slurs you want.

As far as having the spelling & grammar skills of a first grader, people need to pick up a goddamn book some time instead of watching some idiot get voted off the island by some other idiots, another idiot eating a slug or yet another idiot singing badly. Frankly I can't understand how anyone could find this the least bit entertaining, but I digress - the point is lack of reading leads to this "ur 2 b y wut" shit because people have no clue what the written word looks like.

In a medium where our only indication of another person is how they type, you bet your ass it's important. Humans instinctually judge each other based on whatever information is available. Only someone who types like that could convince themself otherwise.

Forget it. Yes, I spell at a 3rd grade level or above. This makes me both a grammar nazi and a professor of literature. Now go back to watching Fear Factor. Try not to slip on the banana peels or throw any poo at each other.

Haha I'm thinking three soon... but I'd need another monitor and video card for that... or just use my laptop instead. The decisions!! I mean the problem with my dynamic duo is that they don't support very good DPS overall. I mean my warrior and priest took a 5-man rare elite down to 50% before I messed up and died (accidentally dragged a potion down and overwrote my greater heal... I guess clicking isn't so good :(). I doubt I would've got that mob further than 40% though, he was smacking me hard (~1000 per hit) and I was running really low on mana as it was at 50% with just my warrior DPSing. Although, I think I kind of messed up since I was in Defensive Stance and I had no access to Mortal Strike in Defensive Stance at that time (it used to be on my top bar but I moved it down). But if I had some DPS with me, I bet he would've died ;).

I'm also tempted to roll a Night Elf Priest to replace my Dwarf. As funny as a decision as that sounds, if I want to do "solo" 2v2 PVP, there's no way I can afford to not use a night elf for its Shadowmeld ability. That'll simply give me much more ability to hide so my priest isn't a sitting duck from the start. It'd be a lot of work to level though.

Whoa whoa. Stop right there! Dwarf priests are the best race for priests -- PvE or PvP.

Stoneform (GG Blind), Desperate Prayer (free heal that can crit), and Fear Ward (lol 30s CD).

Oh no, that's definitely understood, the issue that really comes into play is being able to control both people at once and that's simply hard. My warrior is a Night Elf, and a huge advantage that Night Elves have is sitting in Shadowmeld until they want to strike (this was originally a hunter thing too, until they changed shadowmeld mechanics). The problem is, this would leave my priest out in the open. The only thing I could think to do would be to either use his poor priestly-self as bait or hide him in the starting area. It's not hard to throw heals while doing things, it is hard to actively move both players around while being on the same PC.

The one thing that annoyed me in WOW was when someone screwed up and did something bad, and you would always get the 1 jackass that would yell that they have reported such and such a person. Why do they feel the need to state that they have reported you? Just do it and let it go....

You guys are all ripping on this idiot for using racial slurs and poor grammar and lack of punctuation. Since that's all been covered... what about the fact that the guy can't go 3 freaking hours without WoW? How pathetic are you... 3 hours is like nothing... I mean that's not even worthy as a punishment, a minimal punishment should be a day or something... I mean I could easily find something else to do even for a day, let alone 3 hours. Even if I were locked in a room with no way out and nothing but myself and a PC I could find *something* to do for 3 measly hours.

You need help... if you can't go 3 hours without WoW, you are exactly the person who shouldn't be playing WoW.

Pathetic.
