Breakfast Topic: Your WoW newbie confessions
What's your WoW confession? I'm talking about newbie or embarrassing moments in WoW — I'm pretty sure we've all had those. Everyone was a noob once!
My confession used to center mostly around trying to tank without Righteous Fury on. But one confession that I really recall was early on in my WoW experience, around level 20, after two friends had boosted me through The Stockade. I got some gear from the boost runs and some more from quests, and once I'd got past the level of the mobs (sort of — I didn't know what an elite was), I thought I should be able to do it by myself. So in I went. And died. And thought I'd messed up, so went in again. And again. And again.
Growing ever more frustrated, I turned to my paladin-playing friend and vented about how I was awful at this game, at which point he gently told me that The Stockade was a thing called a dungeon and was designed for five people. D'oh!
I also remember when I'd become brave enough to queue for one of these dungeons and clicked tank as well as DPS. I had no idea what a tank was meant to do or how I should do it, and the group rightly raged at me. I didn't know how to leave a group, so I logged out. By the time I logged back in again, they'd booted me, thank God!
So, what noob moments stick in your mind? Any that you cringe at slightly, looking back?
