Atalanta/Shansa's Mount Journal (FINALLY)

[Atalanta]

Wow. I come back here from peoples requests, and I see a handful of people who have never spoken a word to me on here, calling me lame or agreeing with that comment.

Just to clarify for those of you who clearly didn't read my post properly:

"The reason is simple, I don't like being ignored. Not on something that's meant to be social, like a forum. It's not just in this thread either, but in other topics. I don't feel a part of this place anymore, so I'm not going to continue coming here. Not even really expecting anyone to read this/care."

Of course I understood people can't comment in this thread every time I post with 'oohhhh' and 'ahhh' but in other topics I've made or commented in before, people just generally blanked me. Just so you know, I've RAN and been a part of several types of forums before so I know what a community spirit is, and this place has a couple of people who are actually nice to others and happy for them. I've seen here time and time again peoples jealous remarks or flaring up an argument because someone got something that they didn't. I'm angry and upset for people who are ignored here, not just for myself. Also, what's the point of a mount journal if you don't have people with the same interest giving you the kick in the ass to carry on, no matter how down you are about never seeing it/taming it/killing it? I don't blame people for being so bleh here about the rares they don't see, they've got little to no encouragement from anyone. Like, a couple of people actually care.

My post wasn't to cause any drama or bitching from people, but I suppose I expected nothing less tbh. Half of you I've never seen on this forum before and you jump on the bandwagon to put me to shame. +1 internet for you guys, whatever makes you feel awesome for the day.

Zhuge you're awesome. You too Nili! <3

Kuraine was also wanting me to come back, but I don't see why I should when I've seen some of these responses. Will still think about it, for the couple who matter.

[Royi]

That said, can we please move on now? This subject has been thoroughly exhausted.

Lock thread? (esp with Atalanta's last response ~ just was a post to encourage more argumentative responses)

[Nili]

Um, no. She wasn't posting to encourage more arguements. I think the girl has a right to defend herself while all these people who didn't know her, didn't speak a word with her before thought they could judge her. I think Atalanta should come back and I think she should continue with her journal.

[Royi]

I just think that when someone gets upset about a "lack of posting" on their forum topics, resorting to "screw you all, i thought you cared, i hate it here" shouldn't be a viable and warranted reaction

How exactly is that argumentative? I'm sorry, but I was brought up right to defend myself, especially when people get it wrong about me. Your comment about the sig/av thing, um, I had a signature and avatar and that didn't make a single bit of difference. Again, I've never seen you speak a word to me on here but you're another person whose jumped on the bandwagon.

It's only argumentative if you take it that way and respond, so maybe don't? I want to thank the people who actually defended me and care. I want to ask where exactly I said 'screw you all' - but I won't, cos I didn't want this to be an argument.

Royi: If you wanted to be helpful, you could have just reported the thread for locking, rather than fan the flames again. Atalanta was merely responding to the buildup of posts, not inciting more arguing.

Nili, Atalanta: Don't take the bait.

Thank you.

[Atalanta]

Thank you Kalli, and I'm sorry if my posts came off as argumentative. It really wasn't meant to be like that. I only came back here because as I said, a couple of people wanted me back. I was shocked to see the responses in here, and only replied to defend myself. I wouldn't call anyone lame for being upset about something, but each to their own I suppose.

[Royi]

[comment about the sig/av thing, um, I had a signature and avatar and that didn't make a single bit of difference

That wasn't a dig or anything, just a forum tip

I'm not baiting anything, after seeing Redith get flamed for "trolling" I thought I would respond.

In fact I believe I'm taking your bait here unfortuately, so I'll just stop typing mid senten...

[Nili]

yeah.....anyways...

Atalanta, you still going after TLPD? Vyragosa still being evil?
I think you should continue this journal, gave me something to read while I was camping. <3

Actually I couldn't sleep early this morning, so I got up and had an itch to check storm peaks. I left Atalanta there after doing Headless Horseman and who do I see when I log in...

[[Insert blue troll face]]

I swear to God they nerfed the drop rate of the Horsemans mount. Last year, there was about 50 people on my old realm running around with one. This year, you barely see anyone. I've done it every day on four characters and got diddly squat this year. Same goes for Karazhan every week. I'd really love that for Ata though, not my Druid so much. Trolls look weird on horses...

[Royi]

GL on TLPD though. Is your plan just sitting ontop of Frozen Lake?

Has there been any sightings under 6 hours from the last spawn? I was always curious if people had a first hand account on lower spawn timers since Cata

Possibly accurate - at the very least, I can confirm I've only seen one drop this year....and it was on one of the chars I already have it on!

I never witnessed any Vyra spawns or TLPD spawns under 6 hours myself, I saw 6 hours exactly a few times (not many) my spawns were between 9-12 hours...except the day that I found the Time Lost I didn't see Vyra for almost 2 days doesn't mean she didn't spawn though..she just probably never had the chance to get to me...

To not cause any more trouble with some peeps on here:-

GL with ur mount hun I haven't ever spoken to you outside of this thread, but I wish you the best of luck as a community member should

[Pent]

I wish you all the luck on any thing you are looking for.... be it in game or in real life.

I actually quit WoW for several months because I went 4+ months straight camping the Green Madexx, and when I came back I promised myself that I wouldn't camp him and I have yet to spend more than 5-10min in Uldum at a time.

I have ran into a new problem now though... I am scared to take any of my characters to Uldum because I am afraid I will see the Green Madexx and not be able to log over fast enough... I need to go there for archeology on my DK and I am very scared...

On a side note about being seen on a forum... if I look back and see every forum thread that I have started on this forum and other forums that have no replies...I would probably go and necro up the threads just for fun. I wouldn't take what people say on this forum (or any forum) to heart. Most forums are a way to express what you are feeling and what you have accomplished... almost like a blog or a diary/journal. If others reply then awesome, and if they don't... meh... most of the replies on my topics have been against what I have to say anyway.. or they semi-agree with me.

I have never had a need for others to congratulate me or wish me luck... if I get lucky I am pretty sure it had nothing to do with someone on a forum wishing me luck.

Maybe I am way too cynical.

(Wish me luck on a Green Madexx tame on a fly-by)

Still looking for him from time to time Pent?

Only during fly-bys... mainly for Halloween stuff recently... never camping. Been back for almost two months and have yet to see any Madexx spawn.

I can't even get any of the new pets because I feel like I am not prepared or I think I am going to lose the tame because of someone killing my tame... plus.. i just don't like the Firelands that much and the ones not in the Firelands just seem "meh" to me. I want new and exciting stuff to get... everything looks the same to me now. I am having a hard time wanting anything new because it seems that I have seen them all before and doing certain tricks or whatever to tame each one doesn't seem fun to me. (talking mainly about the dark purple spider doing deathstrike or whatever... it just seems that taking that much time to tame something only to have it kill you accidentally or someone else killing it while you do it just seems lame.

Im not a troll I just play one on WoW
sorry had to

[Snowy]

Glad to see you somewhat-returned Atalanta. I hope you stay. <3

Mount journals like this give me something interesting to read every now and again anyway, and I can't wait to see your reaction when you get TLPD!

[Atalanta]

Thanks Chao.

I camped last night for like, 3 or 4 hours and nothing happened. I kept myself busy with drawing something for Nili though. <3
I ended up calling it quits after the fourth hour because some other Hunter there was whispering me every five minutes asking me if anything spawned. I kept trying to reassure him/her that I'll tell them if I see anything. Didn't seem to stop them asking me though, literally every 5 minutes. ._.

I'm still looking for the Camel on Shansa (my main) but I've only found like, 7 or so fakes. I've just left it cached... is that a good idea? I'm really not sure, but at least If my scanner goes off I'll know for sure it's the real one...
