No kitten torturing and not crying about it per-se,  just was getting 
frustrated by griefing as I was so close to getting my cloak I could 
almost taste it, and I don't have a lot of playing time, to have a bunch 
of numb-nuts in their Mom's basement mucking up my night...  lol :)

It's why I play on a PvE realm...If I was into PvP, that would be 
another issue.  I could see those fights being absolutely laughably 
*insane* on a PvP realm - holy crap!  rofl!!  The lag must also be 
incredible!

But downing those bosses while having a huge PvP battle at the same time 
must be incredibly satisfying - Enough where I would yell an audible 
"YES!!"...   I do PvP occasionally - just not that great at it on dps 
(ok on heals) and like to keep the PvE/PvP separate from each other...   :)
