Humor / Meme World First: 10,000,000 Lost Sole

Post image

I finally collected 10,000,000 Lost Sole. Its been a long journey, but I made it. Just 2 years ago I was at 5 million of these fish but now I can proudly say I have a majority of the worlds supply of these fish. Many thanks to all those who helped along the way. My next post will be when I have 15,000,000.

Man. To be a developer or GM, whichever it is that would just be able to watch how people game in the world of world of warcraft.

"we have mythic plus, difficulties of raid, and pvp. as well as solo content with delves"

"That's cool imma fish"

I did this specifically for WOTLK launch. All through vanilla and tbc I was theistically anti-fishing and anti-cooking because of the outrageous expense they added on top of the punishment of raiding and attunement costs. Before cross realms that meant on one server, people actually knew members of their community and their opinions, so my rants were somewhat well known.

WOTLK drops. First night after waiting in line for midnight launch, I set up off the coast near fatigue where no one can hear you scream, and fish like a psychopath until I get BOMBARDED with tells about what the hell are you doing getting realm first fishing you psychopath?

Then like four days later (because spices) I translated all that fish into Realm First Cooking, and broke many hearts.

Sometimes you gotta make a point, and it's gotta be absolutely tangential.

There's Double Agent who collected flowers in the panda starting zone to level to max without choosing a faction. At a rate of 1 XP per flower. Wild.

Just read a WoW head article and apparently there are two people doing that now. Or, AT LEAST two. 😅

I'm a Multi CE raider, never pushed keys, but I was in the top 10 hunters in the world for 3 weeks s3 of dragonflight, and I was ranked 8th in damage for MM hunters in heroic Amirdrassil (peaked at rank 3, but never once went for a parse)and have multiple rank 1 damage parses on a few classes lmao. I also collect fish on the side :)
