Children's Week Look Back

So being happy that I completed all the achieves for this holiday save the Vertan Nanny I decided to put together the horror stories I have heard about this week or maybe was the cause of. You may call my poking fun pure evil, but in the end does it really matter?

Cupcakes: When does buying a cupcake for 4g each ever make sense? I always find it hilarious when they buy the cupcakes or cakes then send you a mail complaining at how much it cost them. Did they expect me to feel bad and send them their gold back? I only did the thing that made the most sense to me. CoD them another Cupcake or Cake for double the amount they previously paid.

Utgarde Pinnacle: How people fail at this instance I have no idea. How people fail to take their orphan out and then have to do the instance all over again is nothing short of epic failure. 2 people in my daily did this I couldn't help but poking fun at them to no end. You did this instance for one purpose and messed it up. They weren't even from Ragnaros either...

School of Hard Knocks: You have all heard about people complaining about this on and on. Why it is so unfair and how it should be removed from the meta because everyone is working against one another in the Battlegrouns. Apparently all achievements should be as easy as getting a haircut. You have the standard complaining that people doing the achieve and then leaving the battleground. People just letting the flag carrier die in EOTS so they can pick it up and cap it. Although I much enjoyed the story about the mage that was putting Amplify magic on the flag carrier so they would die quicker. The one thing you need to remember is your pain entertains me.

So with that I will miss Children's Week. The constant complaining, the 30 minutes BG queues, the complaining, the comments about the size of my Willie, the complaining, asking why there is no Caverns of time portal in Dalaran, and yes of course the complaining.

The Orphan's Future

With Children's Week now here it is time to talk about something that I find rather interesting with Warcraft Lore. This has to do with the Burning Crusade Orphan quests, Salandria the blood elf orphan or Dornaa the Draenei orphan. Sure you go around doing all sorts of quests showing them the sights of Outland and of course their home capital cities. The quest that sparks the lore interest in me is the one where you go to the Caverns of Time. If you weren't paying attention the bronze dragon guards try to attack and kill your orphan. They are only stopped by Zaladormu who says

"she will not be punished for things she might do or fail to do in the future"

Also when you give them their dragon toy they say respectfully "Someday I plan to own a real one" and "One day I hope to be lucky enough to have a dragon as a friend".

So what does all this mean? Well it very well could be nothing, but I don't buy it. For me why would the bronze dragons attack them? They know something is going to happen they do of course live in time. So it would have to effect time in some way. This leads me to the conclusion that they are some how connected to the Infinite dragonflight in some respect. I guess we will all just have to see though.
