Alliance to the right of them,
Alliance to the left of them,
Alliance in front of them,
Suff'ring blades from the shadows
Storm'd at with magical hell
Boldly they rode and well
Into the Molten Core
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the Requiem Forty.

Darkhoof entered Molten Core tonight. Many hours later left following Baron Geddon's demise. 5 bosses isn't a bad run for us.

The Earthfury Epaulets dropped but I was outbid by another Shaman. Sigh. All the DKP in the world won't help you win a roll.

Later Oddity recovered his body in the waters outside of Nesingwary's Camp in Stranglethorn Vale. He'd been left there by a trio from some Alliance guild, a warrior, a rogue, and some other such. On coming back, finding the surroundings empty, he proceeded to engage the young tigers and panthers for the first of the hunting quests. When all of a sudden along comes a 40 dwarf hunter. Sure enough if I were to wave I'd be ganked. If I ignored him I'd be ganked. Now I was on a tiger, and a panther caught wind oh him, and of a sudden this cat comes out of stealth to attack me. I allow some rage to be built up and then fear them. This cat flees and I kill the tiger. I'm in no mood for PvP so I move on into the jungle.

Well the Hunter proceeds to put a Hunter's Mark on me. So, I knew I'd shortly have a cat on my butt and he'd be firing arrows at me from afar. Sure enough, a concussive shot hit me. Then, oddly, he starts waving. I proceed to cut him down, landing an execute that drops him to the jungle floor.

If the Hunter's Mark was to get my attention, and the concussive shot merely to slow me so he could approach, and the wave a sincere indication of friendship, then I appear to have overreacted and for that I'd apologize.

But after the earlier ganking I'd gotten from the trio, and the Hunter's Mark is a slap in the face of an enemy, I was in no mood to die over the matter.

I hate Gank Nesingwary's.

You certainly didn't do that hunter wrong. Hunter's Mark in itself is a challenge, and the response should always be anticipatory counter-attack.

I've approached those of opposing factions with intent to show no harm before. As a rogue, I usually do it by unstealthing at a distance, waving, bowing, whatever, and sometimes walking backwards toward them.

Not sure why they run away anyway.

hah
