Yeah, I've been meaning to say something but first I had to *do*
something worth posting about lol. All I've done this week is farm
rares on IoT for valor: 5.5k at the reset, so I'll finally finish
Wrathion's test this week and be onto looking for a group for Change
of Command... wonder how long that one will take lol :-P

Only other thing of note to mention for me is a new low in character
naming that I saw last night... "Dieniggerdie", is surely not
acceptable in anyone's mind, so I'm hoping that players gets a ban in
addition to the rename they're pretty safe to receive very soon (I
reported him and I'd be surprised if I was alone...)

Omg, 20 attempts, eek. Makes me glad I'm still slacking and not even
done the 2nd one yet :-P Intending to get to it this week, we'll see,
problem for me is, because groups are usually rubbish at the end of a
week, if I don't get it done the first few days it has to wait till he
next reset, and usually I'm busy on other stuff the first few days,
hopefully I'll get round to it this time.

Yikes, sounds a bit offbalance then, two too easy and one probably a
bit too hard, oh well. At least you got him in the end! Hopefully by
the time I get around to it it'll be much faster but I'll make sure to
set aside a big chunk of time...
