Ziarre's Vitreous Stone Drake Hunt - Success!

[Ziarre]

Figure I'm probably spamming the magic luck thread more than enough by now, so I'll put most of my new posts regarding this (that aren't pleas for luck) in this thread so that they can be skipped over if desired.

I've killed Slabhide 203 times as of this post. That I've counted. Most of them within the past few days - I've barely left Deepholm. I'm starting to think someone somewhere has it out for me, because not only am I reaching truly rediculous kill numbers...I think the damn thing has gotten me suspended. They neglected to send me an email so I don't know, but it's the only thing I've done in WoW in the past week or two that could possibly be misinterpreted as anything illegitimate.

So, I'll post this and dump a few amusing screenshots I've taken so far while I wait for Account Administration to get to my ticket and/or for my account to unsuspend.

Edit: Account unlocked! Back to the grindstone.

Did you get your account unlocked?

[Ziarre]

I just found out it was locked a couple of hours ago, so I'm waiting for the ticket to be seen and hoping it was just a 3-hour suspension. :c

[Meggers]

Hmm, here's hoping it is something that can be reversed and not on a permanent record deal.

[Lupis]

Ack! How did they find you suspension worthy? That's odd.
And oh man, 203 kills? x.x You are one patient woman.

[Ziarre]

Probably because most of those 203 kills were made in the last few days. I got in a groove at first, and now it's just sheer stubborn refusal to give up.

They got back to me pretty quickly, and my account's now unlocked! With a stern warning that if I DO bot, that the result of an appeal won't be the same. XD

[ShootsAlot]

Sounds like the same issues I got with the Drake of the North wind now. It refuses to drop even after 318 kills and I'm still going.

[Ziarre]

It's got to drop eventually, with persistence. While RNG is a cruel and fickle thing, the more runs I tally up, the more RNG's cousin probability is on my side.

Posting here cause I'm super interested in this. Recently it seems people have been unlucky with the two Cataclysm dungeon drakes...

[Ziarre]

I checked Wowhead comments and people have commented on having obtained it as soon as two days ago, so I think it's probably RNG being a meaniehead.

Most certainly. RNG is a bitch.

[Ziarre]

Sweet, sweet freedom! Kill number 217 finally gave up the goods.

[Snowy]

Woo congrats! I demand mount screenshots! (And honestly? That was pretty inspiring. I wanna go hunt for my own Vitreous now.)

[Ziarre]

I may or may not have done a Braveheart style 'FREEDOM' yell in guild chat when I saw purple in the loot window. While I knew I could leave at any time, I wanted to stop on my terms.

[Meggers]

Hotness. Killed Anzu again today for time ?? and maly/ony. XD They're still being poops. (At least I have the azure to make me happy)

200+ kills is pretty mind boggling though.

[Lupis]

FINALLY! Man that took way too long. Congrats!
