Uhm....feel terrible posting this....

[Zhuge]

Well I have been searching for TLPD since March.

I've done 12 hours shifts in SP, I've done random fly bys.

I've missed Time Lost at least twice.

I've helped other ppl camp him twice - one successful, one not.

Today I get my laptop back.

I /w the other camper and ask if he was successful.

No he says, he's missed it twice.

I encourage him, head to SP for a lil looksy.

I'm sat at FL on the mountainside.

I see a dragon flap past me, I think 'Damn stacker'. But I was wrong....

The other camper was in FL. My macro informs my guildies what I've seen. I give chase.

Almost die from dismounting like a noob -.-

As he dies, a guildie /w me begging to know where I've seen him, but he's dead : /

I feel ill. I got what I wanted but I feel terrible. The other camper has done 24/7 camps, I haven't.

He doesn't believe me when I say I got him. I have to link the learned skill. He smiles and giefs hugs.

My new mount needs a name. I don't feel like naming him. FFS why I can't I be like that damn DK who ninja'd it from under me laughing .__.

I also feel shit cos I posted on MLT for others yet I get it after 15 minutes in the zone.

I'm so used to giving rare awesome stuff away it feels strange. If the other camper was in SP, I would have yelled at him to shift his butt. But I was alone except for 5 other hordes and unknown alliances. I was so scared, excited and confused.

Dunno what else to say really

Why do I feel like crap for finally getting something I've dreamed about :S

You put in your time; you're entitled to it as much as the others. You were the one in the zone at the time; sometimes it's just dumb luck.

Don't feel bad! Enjoy your mount. At least you have a timer for the others and there's one fewer person looking.

[Zhuge]

Thanks hun. I don't know why I feel like this. I mean, I've done my time in the snow. I've helped everyone I've come across. I think the guildie touched me more than anything. Someone told me he was only a kid, and he just missed Aeonaxx the other day. He's never actually camped for Time Lost, he just wants it (I guess like everyone else!) - my brother is the same.

Plus, I was gonna do a journal too -_- Oh well, guess that's life....

[Kalliope]

Heh, that's the dream, isn't it? To get these rare drops without doing the work for them....

Journals are overrated. They're helpful to the camper in that they give you something else to focus on while camping, but that's about it. See also: my Loque camp thread. xD It's not much; it was just something for me to do to keep myself awake for those 10 hours. So really, it's a good thing that you got lucky and didn't need to make one!

I got my timelost the very same way.
Enjoy him and relish in the fact that you got a beautiful drake
The others have a timer now, I know as a camper, I appreciate any timer that comes my way. ^^

[Zhuge]

Thanks guys, I feel better now I've calmed down. The other camper says he's cool with it as he knows I was out in SP months before he started. Also, if other poeple wanted it SO bad, wouldn't they have been out there sat staring into space or doing laps?

Was lucky I turned to see him right in the corner of my screen - I forgot to install NPC Scan again

Awesome!! congrats!! and hey if I was the other camper I would rather someone like you get him, then the idiot I had to deal with.

Like others have said enjoy your new mount..be happy that you don't have to see SP again..

[Zhuge]

Indd!

That is perhaps the only bonus, with 7 days straight for Skoll back in Wrath, and the months for Time Lost, I'm officially fed up of SP!

Ty everyone ^_^

[Atalanta]

You shouldn't feel bad about it, at all. You're helping people all the time as you said, so this is your WoW karma coming back for you - don't be sad about it. And you know what? It's just a game at the end of the day, you weren't malicious about getting it which is what matters. Grats for you! Enjoy your mount, he's yours now.

[Sasrei]

lol dont feel bad. Its all about RNG, heck I be still waiting for TLPD after months and months of camping, then going back casually to save my.. sanity (whats left of it ) But I did randomnly run into Aeonaxx after not camping at all, and just casually found the camel mount twice. So really its all about if its meant to be, its meant to be! *hugs*

I am starting to actually name the blue proto drake whelps, they are really cute.

[Meggers]

I understand how you feel, I've been working on my rare acheivements (Bloody rare..done! Frostbitten...almost) and I had to kill King Krush today...I felt so awful about it.

[Nili]

Wrong topic, Meggers? o.o

Actually, I have only King Krush and Aotona to do :S And I don't think I can do it >_> When I found Loque, I rehomed him like 5 times, then finally I told myself I needed him for the achieve...I had to call on a guildie who also needed Loque for the achieve I just couldn't bring myself to kill him!

grats, rng can be great or down right horrible.

[Zhuge]

Ty everyone for ur kind words

Yesterday when I rehomed another Terrorprene and finally Deth'tilac I decided I had deserved the Time Lost. I had been in SP months and seen/helped others all the time. I have rehomed countless rares these last 2 months - I have even camped for rares whilst the ppl who wanted them did other things ._. and I have given up rares I wanted to others when I could have had them.

Plus, if I didn't get him that night, none of the others who really wanted him would not have got to him in time (camper was in raid and guildie in Org).

He was mine, meant for me Time to be a lil selfish ^_^
