Re: Rant Thread
We held the service today, with just 10 close family members present, and a great many people watching via webcast. It was moving and beautiful and I'm emotionally worn out.
The flowers were gorgeous. Mum really loved tulips (being Dutch and all) and the florist created this beautiful arrangement.
I'll include the reading I gave. When I was looking through possible poems and readings, this one really touched me:
No Death, No Fear - a story by Buddhist philosopher Thich Nhat Hanh
The day my mother died I wrote in my journal, "A serious misfortune of my life has arrived." I suffered for more than one year after the passing away of my mother. But one night I dreamed of my mother. I saw myself sitting with her, and we were having a wonderful talk. She looked young and beautiful, her hair flowing down. It was so pleasant to sit there and talk to her as if she had never died. When I woke up it was about two in the morning, and I felt very strongly that I had never lost my mother. The impression that my mother was still with me was very clear. I understood then that the idea of having lost my mother was just an idea. It was obvious in that moment that my mother is always alive in me.
I opened the door and went outside. Walking slowly in the moonlight through the rows of tea plants, I noticed my mother was still with me. She was the moonlight caressing me as she had done so often, very tender, very sweet... wonderful! Each time my feet touched the earth I knew my mother was there with me. I knew this body was not mine but a living continuation of my mother and my father and my grandparents and great-grandparents. Of all my ancestors. Those feet that I saw as "my" feet were actually "our" feet. Together my mother and I were leaving footprints in the damp soil.
From that moment on, the idea that I had lost my mother no longer existed. All I had to do was look at the palm of my hand, feel the breeze on my face or the earth under my feet to remember that my mother is always with me, available at any time.

Re: Rant Thread
IDK... lots of small stuff.. its just ughn
other rankt
I thought i wanted to start a tank for fun. I made a Deathknight.
It was ANYTHING but fun.
Tanks are required to know EVERYTHING. Every little shotcut, every little tactic, how to pull a lot at once, etc
I started at lvl 18 and got tossed into a BFA dungeon. I knew NOTHING of what to do, I just came back after a long WoW break and thought i could go slow and easy and learn.
NOT an option. Ppl yell at you, want you to pull a lot, demands you know what to do even though i NEVER tanked before.
I respecced to unholy after 2 dungeons. It was not fun. I play to have fun.
I soo get tanks are hard to come by. The demand on their shoulders are stupid. There need to be a learning curve somewhere. Not just drop me in the deep end and hope i dont drown..
For new tanks there should be an option to learn the ropes. Just something.
Because like this I am never touching the tanking again.

Re: Rant Thread
As for Elune, it is rather strange that she wasn't aware of everything happening. Either she isn't a Goddess in the true sense of the word, as in being omniscient, or it is a failure of Blizz's writing.
Yeah, tanking is very difficult to get into, especially if you are new to the game. Unfortunately, there isn't really a way for Blizz to have an experience where you learn the ropes. A lot of the stuff that you mentioned comes from experience and personal skill. You can't create a tutorial that shows you all of the shortcuts or how to pull a bunch or which mobs need to be LOS'd, etc. The only thing that I can really recommend is continuing to run dungeons as dps and, eventually, trying again once you have gone through the dungeons more and learn things like tactics and shortcuts.

Re: Rant Thread
I think you always have a choice. The way Elune talk seems like Tyrande did have a choice.. it just silly to me but most of the writing is
