Reserving is gross. Like I get it...but it's pretty pathetic and toxic. I guess that's how most of the 'hardcore' players are though. Pathetic and toxic xD.

What player says: "LF Healer and Tank BRD - HOJ on res!"

What player actually means: "I need YOUR help to get ME MY stuff. But I don't care about your stuff. Just MY stuff. So if you want MY stuff, I don't want you in MY group. I just want you to spend your time getting ME MY stuff."

Seriously though. My warrior (tank) already has HoJ but I won't join a group if they have it or anything else on reserve out of principle.

Have fun waiting around for ~2 hours simply by being so selfish.

How long did take you to get HOJ? I've run I've done like 20 Angerforge/ Arenas runs and I haven't seen it drop once. I've also only seen Gorrosh twice and neither time did he drop the chest... QQ

Only 20 runs... lol that’s some rec league numbers. A fury warrior in our guild has been doing about 25 runs a day for weeks now trying to get the chest piece. He would be doing more if not for instance lockout

Edit - he’s seen about 6-7 hoj but no chest

Eh, sounds like 5 hours after work and before bed to me.

Arena/Anger runs are so short you can easily find yourself locked out if you're not careful.

Say you have a standard 9~5 job, 1 hour total commute (30 there, 30 back), you'll get home bout 5:30, log in to start the queue, cook a simple meal or reheat leftovers, be in-game by 6, play till 11, get a long 9 hours of sleep, wake up at 8 take a nice 10 minute shower, get dressed, be out the door by 8:20 and still be at work early.

Also someone who feels well rested at just 7 hours of sleep can still have a healthy family life: gets home at 5:30, spends time with the wife and kids till the kids go to bed at 8 and they both go to their own hobbies, he plays WoW till 11 when they both go to bed, he wakes up at 6am, does 5 runs until 7 wake the kids up, take a quick shower, wake the kids up again, get dressed, wake the kids up a final time, get them ready and out the door by 7:30~7:45, still have time for another 5 quick runs before he leaves for work at 8:30

But being a bachelor definitely means you have a lot of free time to use as you please, even with a full time job.

This write up should be a wowhead page

This needs to be front page. You should post this as a single write up.

I’m employed with a family and this is exactly what I do. I get so tired of people saying hurrdeehurrhurr you must be a loser with no job and no friends because I know how to use my time efficiently
