If that boss turned you off then you wouldn't have much cared for the rest of the end bosses, their heroic modes are much harder.

Well, I fucking hate retail because it is retail but I was particularly annoyed about this
But its okay, my manager approved my schedule requests to be given monday and thursday mornings.And nah, I almost exclusively work closing shifts unless it is truck day
I just joined a raiding guild with 2 ten man groups focusing on progression, and the group I'm part of I believe I'm the only hunter so I'll be enjoying this :3
I cannot wait for rated battlegrounds either, it'll give me a reason to PVP!

@ not just Krampus. I thought working at a job associated with retail made me a loser, but know I know how vast the realm of loserdom really is.

Nothing loserish about working in retail, it's the "damn real life interrupting my raids!" thing.

Haha, it isn't like real life is really interrupting my raiding because they understand I work retail, I just have an opportunity to become a core raider with them and I've been playing WoW for over 2 years now and just now have that shot so I kind of want to take it.
It isn't like requesting 2 morning shifts a week is such a big deal anyways

What you do in your free time with your own money is your own business, but you are limiting yourself to WoW girlfriends at this point. Not that you can't find love on WoW of course, I have a good friend who is totally serious with her WoW boyfriend.

Eh Mort & Val get it at least. With Yogg it wasn't so much the difficulty as the fight mechanics- especially as Affliction. Wiping and having to do phase 1 over and over again? Compound on that being the DKP officer? Yeah, way more stress than a game should bring. Life is much better not dedicating 3 hours a night 3-4 nights a week.

I like how mountain dwarfs get a +2 on saving throws vs. poison and petrification, and also the fact that they have 120' infra-vision.

Sounds like me in 2003. I had to join the Marines to break out of the RL mess that got me into. But I was a badass on Everquest doncha know.
That's Tom Brady for you. I'm considering joining the Ignore-athon but sometimes the stupidness of his posts can be amusing.
...as long as you have plans to stop working retail. As a career it's fucking horrible unless you can get promoted to management (and even then I don't find that particularly tempting).

Oh I see what you did there.
I used to play WoW, it consumed my life. I got lazy, I barely touched my guitar, I barely went out, I got fat, unfit and my girlfriend at the time hated me and especially hated the game. I stopped raiding when my guild was in Sunwell Plateau (Burning Crusade times). I was their Hunter class leader as well. One night after defeating Brutallus, I snapped and gave up the chance of the getting the Clutch of Demise and the Belt of the Forgotten Protector to the next hunter and I quit the game. I've never looked back since.
I then proceeded to start my band, worked more often to save up for guitar gear and other shit I wanted, tried to fix things with the girlfriend at the time (relationship was doomed anyway) and started getting way better grades at university. Quitting WoW was the best decision I have ever made.

I used to work at Target and there were kids and housewives lined up out the door before store opening the day the WoW expansion pack came out. One customer was a middle aged woman buying the WoW expansion pack and she told me all about how her whole family - husband, son, 9 year old daughter - all had level whatever characters. Jesus Christ.
I used to write http://www.wowdetox.com on the backs of people's receipts who bought WoW.
In college my good friend Jeff from Japanese class started being busy all the time. I'd talk to him in class and soon instead of having lunch together after class he'd be running home to play WoW. His 2 best friends on campus were also WoW addicts and they spiraled out of control and spent their whole weekends shut in. After about 2 years of this they quit together. It was lovely seeing them again.

Of course not, but there's no law against stating your opinions and experiences regarding said game either. It's just another unproductive hobby like watching movies or shopping.

Hell, WoW is great compared to shopping. It's an incredibly low cost hobby! Buy a new PC every few years which you probably do anyway and 15$ a month?
Also, that thought made me think of this:

Oh well, I never got fired. In retrospect if I ever worked at Target again (which probably won't happen) I wouldn't do stupid shit like that, but what's done is done.
And yeah the whole point of having a hobby is that you take time off being "productive" to do something you like, though plenty of people take "hobbies" and use them as moneymakers - violinists get paid to play at events/record albums, WoW players I'm not sure but there are probably star players like DDR or Guitar Hero players, even shoppers can sometimes land jobs as personal shoppers.
My hobbies are shopping and traveling, possibly two of the most expensive pasttimes on earth, so I'm in no rational position to criticize gamers. It's really only the severe addicts that I feel sorry for/disgusted by, and Our Lord in Heaven knows I'm no stranger to addictions.
That shopping picture speaks the truth, but for going to all the mall stores like that I'd estimate it would take 4-5 hours.
