WoW Petopia Community

Something that came to my attention recently is that a lot of people I've noticed on this forum seem to talk about little OCDs they have to do with WoW. So I thought I'd make a thread about it where you can tell others your OCDs if you wish or even just rant about them, since I know having a certain OCD can be very irritating at times. I'll start with some of mine.

I feel the need to clear out my hunter's stable a lot. I often change my mind on what kind of pets I want to have and I prefer to have a theme of some kind.

Wednesday is considered for me the 'refresh' day. That came about because that's the day that raids are reset and you can do everything again for the week, if you get what I mean. At first all this meant was me doing clear-outs of stables/bags/bank and to do my raids again but now it's turned into a full on, in real life clean-up day where I will also dust, hoover and generally clean my room. I'm a very tidy person in general anyway so my room is barely ever a mess at all but I sometimes like to move things about. It also helps that Wednesday is my day off from college, hehe.

If I'm going looking for a specific rare that NPC Scan will be able to pick up, the volume *needs* to be off. The sound of NPC Scan frightens me but I'm alright just seeing the alert pop up.

One of the bigger things (Which might annoy a few people lol.) is that, sometime in October, I quit WoW because I was really bored of it. I came back a few months later and I wanted to 'start again', so to say. So to do that I deleted all my current characters and started a brand new one, who is my main today. To keep myself entertained I wanted to get all the rare mounts I had once got back again. I still don't really know why exactly I felt the need to delete the characters, considering I even went to a new realm when I came back, I suppose I just did it to stop myself from just going back to them, playing them and getting bored quickly again. But here's the part that might annoy some of you. I only had one level 85 but she had loads of stuff including Time Lost, Aeonaxx and the Grey Riding Camel. She also had the Raven Lord, Vitreous Stone Drake, etc. Granted none of them were easy to get (Besides the camel but to be honest I didn't really care about that, I just came across the right figurine one day.) but I still felt like I wanted to get those mounts again over time. I also had a level 80 with Time Lost too but that was a spout of amazing luck so I wasn't too worried about deleting that character. It's a bizarre OCD I have which involves more than just WoW, the need to 'start again' since I can't think of a better word or name for it. When I want it to I like it to happen at the start of the week and it involves clearing out a lot of different things. It could be considered good but for me it gets pretty annoying. Luckily I haven't had that happen to me in WoW since then and I doubt it ever will, in fact the only urge I've ever got is to ask a GM to bring back my old level 85 but I know that if I do that I just won't play my current main anymore and I don't want that to happen.

I also like things to be 'tidy' in WoW, for example, if I start questing in one area I can't start another area until I've got the achievement for the quests there.

Less to do with WoW itself and more about this forum, my posts need to look 'pretty'. My avatar and signature also need to match.

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE NEVER PUT STUFF IN THE RIGHT TAB?!

Wow and I thought I was bad. xD But yeah, my bags/bank must also be very organised. Which is the reason I like using TukUI so much, it turns all your bags and bank space into one large one which makes organising *so* much easier, not to mention it makes the UI look tidier too and you can even set things however you like. (Although it becomes annoying when making alts, all the settings have to be the *exact* same on all characters haha.)

The emptier my bags are, the neater they look. Honestly. The normal things for me to have are, in the bottom left-hand corner, hearthstone, skinning knife and fishing pole. This means that anything I loot goes straight at the top. I'm not a raider anyway which normally means my bags are quite empty. My only professions are skinning and herbalism since I hate proper professions, urg they cost so much money to level up and always make everything a mess! I also don't raid apart from LFR once a week. Which brings me to another OCD I have in WoW - I have lists in notepad of what gear to get. Right now I have PvE gear and I *cannot* bring myself to move up a tier until one set is fully complete. Right now I've listed, in descending item slots for how they appear on the character sheet, all the gear I need to get from LFR. When I complete an item I fill in the space with 'DONE' instead. The only reason I want this gear is for transmogrification purposes. All my sets have to have matching items exactly and have to come from a proper set, right now I'm wearing the full set of level 70 PvP gear.

But really, if you want a tidy and clean and simple UI, look into getting TukUI. It's super easy to download and install and it's been the only UI I've used for at least two years now.

Same here as well! xD However, with ferocity, all exotic pets have to come first, starting with spirit beasts. I have such strange habits I didn't even realise.

I cant have talent specs with 1/2 points in a like 3/4/5 point bracket. I just cant do it, everything has to be filled in perfectly

I'm very OCD about my backpacks as well

Haha, my boyfriend is the same, never clears his bags or bank. I do it for him when I go over to his sometimes. xD

To be honest, anyone who walked straight into my room and took a quick look at it would probably call it messy. But if you look at it properly it's just busy and ridiculously organised. No, I don't have DVDs going from A-Z or anything, things are just neatly placed and clean since I dust a lot. But I do have a lot of stuff, I like plushes and figurines and they're everywhere.

Speaking about my DVDs though, they go from horror --> action/adventure --> 3D animated --> 2D animated --> TV shows. And of course within that there's companies, so all the Pixar films stay together, etc. It's pretty freaky to some but frankly I don't go through it and organise it every five minutes, I just decided that's how I wanted them when I moved in haha. Also I hate the typical things such as leaving DVDs/game discs out of their correct boxes, plates and glasses lying around, etc.

Nah that's not bad. I don't think I know many of those books anyway so I don't even know what kind of order they should be in. xD

And ooohh... Picture taking time! I wonder what everyone else thinks about my room.

Here's my bookshelf which is part of my desk, where I'm sitting now, in fact in the picture you can see Petopia on my computer. xD I'm not a huge reader so I don't have too many books really, some manga and some childhood favourites and whatnot. I'm currently reading The Hunger Games which is beside me, not my copy though, my sister's room is basically a library. xD

Sadly you can only see the top of my epic My Little Pony collection! (I'm a sad, sad 19 year old. u_u)



My DVDs and games and stuff. My Nintendo DS has a custom-made Pikachu skin on it, it's awesome. And my Xbox controller is a dick and I need a new one.



And just for the lulz, my epic awesome collection of Stitch! I have a friend at college nicknamed Stitch and he's jealous beyond belief of my collection. xD Also some dragons, rawr.
