Dire Maul Fun – Any Challengers?
So I’ve been playing with Sony Vegas a little bit more, and I’m getting the hang of putting together videos and stuff to share with you guys. I plan to upload a few more in future to share the methods I used for various parts of ‘Insane in the Membrane’ farming. Stuff like the best places to pickpocket heavy junkboxes for Ravenholdt rep, and more ratchet/dm steamwheedle rep farming.
I don’t normally pull like this doing my runs, I just happened to be close to reaching the five instances/hour cap and had a few minutes to kill so I thought I’d see what I could do. I’m very curious to find out if any other classes can beat this, I suspect possibly a Paladin would be the only real competition out there but I’m not sure they could put out enough DPS to take them down fast enough. Ah well, prove me wrong!

As part of my routine each morning while I’m logging in to check my auctions on one monitor I’ll check out whats new on YouTube. Yesterday I noticed a new comment on my [Druid Thunderfury] video:
I have to say that, contrary to having any negative reaction, I find this kind of behaviour fascinating! Let’s take a step back and try to figure it out – what is he actually angry about? why would a person react like that upon learning about my achievement?
Initially I suspected it was a standard primitive ape ego trying to sour grapes soothe itself. I got the achievement, he wanted it and didnt have it, so my getting it must suck right? I mean why else should me completing an achievement mean anything to him otherwise?
Seeking answers I checked out his YouTube Profile. His last video upload was back in October 2009 and just so happened to be titled “Thunderfury – Blessed Blade of the Windseeker”. The description reading “One of my mates finally got the blade from combinding two legendary items from MC, and some Elementium Bars. – Enjoy”
Ah ha! So is that the answer? That he holds his friend’s Thunderfury achievement in such high regard that my having previously done it – on a druid no less – is an affront to his friend’s hard work?
“You cannot strengthen one by weakening another; and you cannot add to the stature of a dwarf by cutting off the leg of a giant.” -Benjamin Franklin Fairless
Certain people are always going to achieve for the sake of it. If there’s a reputation bar to fill up then people are going to do it. I saw that I could get an achievement for getting a useless shiny sword and so I went after it – I’ve done more for less in the past :-)
Let me know what your thoughts on this are! and what have your experiences with people like this been like?
