With the advent of previous Arena items going up for sale at your friendly neighborhood Honor vendor, PvP Battlegrounds are once again in full swing. This is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because you can almost always find a fight when you want one. A curse, because all the assholes come crawling out of the woodwork.
When I say "assholes", I'm not talking about the Mace-specced rogue that keeps pummeling you into dust, or the warlock that fear-kited you while his felhunter chewed on your testicles. I'm talking about the people on your own team that refuse to do anything but whine. These include Doomsayers ("omg just lose we get honor faster you can't win against teh premade nubs!!1!"), Armchair Generals ("inc fr omg nubs theyr takin fr come defend it! omg u guyz why did you come to fr now be is got no defense, gg!"), and Instructors ("fuckin nub i dont care wat ur spec iz u need to heal me when i'm gettin raped bai seven droods!").
These people fill me with such impotent hatred that I want to snap my keyboard in half with my teeth. Had I a lightsaber at hand, I would become a member of the Sith in short order, for not even Vader could stand against my endless rage. There are some nights that I actually log off for hours just to cool down, for fear of breaking my monitor should my fist lash out of its own accord in an attempt to reciprocate the considerable mental anguish inflicted upon me by Omgbubblehearthlol.
However, I really, really want that main-hand fist weapon for my shaman. So, I needed to figure out a way to release this anger in a way that won't get me injured/killed/arrested.
Here are some of the results.
- Be a dick right back. Fuck it. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Tell Mr. Leetdood exactly what you think of him and his seemingly limitless supply of poor advice. Be creative if you've the time/inclination. Humor is a plus, as other members of your team will often congratulate you for making them laugh. After all, they've had to listen to him blabber on as well.
- Play the echo game. Repeat everything Leetdood says. Everything. When he finally gets annoyed and asks why you're doing it, say "Yeah, it's annoying listening to an asshole talk, isn't it?" He might get the hint. If not, you've still insulted him. Either way, you win.
- Translate. Turn Leetdood's blathering semi-speech into a flowery Victorian diatribe. It'll give you something to do while waiting to respawn.
- Corpse camp. If all else fails, make an alt on his server, level it to 70, and proceed to corpse camp him until the End of Days.
If nothing else, this might keep you entertained.

huh, I don't have any problems with those types anymore. If I do see one I know that, A) no one is going to listen to him, so I just ignore him.
B) Looking at the combat log is more informative.
I usually keep the combat log and regular chat in two seperate windows, so that I can watch both.
I used to do that, but click turning got more difficult when I kept clicking on the chat window.
I'll have to try the "repeat all he says"...lol. That sounds like the most fun. Or just go all role play on his ass..."Forsooth, yon druid has your trotters in his hands! Abandon all hope!"
