*yawn*
I've discovered in WoW it's almost as much fun to scare the Alliance than kill them.
Last night I was in an area (for those who know the game it was in STV, not far from Booty Bay) when I saw a suspicious looking "panther" on a hill, not moving, just staring at the path. Sure enough when I run my mouse over him it's a lv 32 Alliance.
Now the enemies in that area are lv 40-41 so there's no way a lone lv 32 would be fighting them. Therefore I knew he was up to two things:
1. That path he was staring hungrily at is one used by a lot of Horde in the low lv 30s to get to a camp of ours and thus he was going to jump any low level Horde that had to use that path to get to the camp.
2. He was going to wait for a higher level Horde (namely me since I needed to hunt the gorillas around there) to attack a enemy and then he would attack the Horde player from behind when they got low on health.
I was lv 38 at the time and knew there was no way he would attack me at full health (unless he was stupid but then I could easily kick his ass) but I didn't want to attack him because I didn't want to accidentally aggro any of the enemies around because being doubled teamed is bad for me when I'm battling enemies 4 levels higher than myself. But I needed him gone since I couldn't risk him attacking me while I was fighting other enemies.
So I run down the path pass him, pretending I didn't see him but making sure he saw me He did and went into his invisible mode to hide from me so I stop where I am. At this point I don't know if he's there or gone but my gut is telling me he was still there. So I run back the way I came when I suddenly heard the sound of someone in stealth mode ; I stop and quickly spot him on the path next to me, trying to slip away.
By now he knows I see him so he FREAKS out and runs off without even turning into his cheetah form, aggro'ing a lv 41 gorilla that starts attacking him and chasing him down. The place he decided to run to? Full of more lv 40-41 gorillas that he would have aggro'd!
I was laughing too hard to follow him to see if he died or not. I got to kill some Allies later though so it's all good.
A group of them was camping the place where we get all the hunts (raptor mastery, tiger mastery and panther mastery), so no Horde player could turn in their quests and recover their body. The Allies were high lv30s to mid lv40s so a group of us decided to get together and go to the rescue. We killed them, camped them, killed them again when they rez'ed and tired to get away, killed them again, camped them again and killed them for one final time before getting back to what we were doing.
I don't like camping players but I do it when the other guy deserved it. If the Allies had just raided the area, killed the Horde and left then we wouldn't have done it. But they had been doing it for about 10 minutes by the time we showed up to help.
When you're on a realm where the Horde:Alliance ratio is 3.3:1, it's not a wise idea to be an ass when you're greatly outnumbered.

I've been finding these past few chapters of TRC boring which is why I haven't been saying much.
I don't mind the chapters focusing on Sakura's wish but I really want them to get a move on.
Holic on the other hand I love but I know another break is coming up, which makes me less than excited for the series. I realize that they're probably doing this to have the two series end at the same time but instead of slowing down 'Holic they need to speed up TRC. Like in this last TRC chapter, half the chapter was again devoted to Sakura's wish; why couldn't they mention she'd lose her luck in one of the other many chapters where her wish to travel alone was brought up? That way the entire chapter could have been devoted to the Syaoran/Hikaru fight so it would end quicker.

Oh I know CLAMP needs breaks. I just get whining and bitter at times since X, Gohou Drug and 'Holic are all in the top 5 of my favourite CLAMP manga, so with the two on hiatus and 'Holic getting breaks I get left frustrated at times.
