Q: You lie, I saw you loot omg Nerdrage
A: After looking in detail I must admit I got 79s looted from somewhere...no idea how that happened, I only grouped a couple of times to help people maybe someone looted something during that time...spank me silly and replace that no loot with 'looted less than 1gold' please and apologies to all the nerds.

The no loot part was meant to be no looting silver not 'not opening the loot window. I was asked many times by people to open the loot on beast so that these people could skin them. Since beasts dont have silver on them I may have looted some here and there but the point of the 'No loot' was no money looted not 'no looting'...which then became 'looted less than 1G' since I made a mistake somewhere.

Q: Why the hell?
A: Why not, I stopped raiding for a year and decided to play for fun when I wanted. Playing the permadeath game opens a totally new world of warcraft, you should try it really its much more captivating and risky.

Q: Can I pay you to add links to my products, you have popular videos
A: Not interested in money, I have more than I need already. youtube asked many months if I wanted to make partner and I said no...sorry but this channel will stay ads free.

Q: no gold? how did you afford repairs?
A: no looting gold not no gold. I got money from my main.

Q: Was it worth it?
A: For all the nerdrage that this generated it could not have been a better 2009 Christmas present. Thanks Boubouille.


Q: What addons did you use you cheater
A: Addons used:
Auctioneer
Chatsounds
Dominos
Equipcompare
Experitia
Forte
Fubar
InformantParrot
Pitbull
Quartz
Wim
XP timer
Xparky
Vadesdelca's XPGetter

Q: How long did it take?
A: 3 tries, 4 months on last one and 10 days 12 hours

Q: What's next?
A: I am going back to hardcore raiding in Jan so you can see move cool videos soon and I am doing something similar on a pvp server, different goals, different race/class/faction but still totally WTF material.

Haters gonna hate... made it to 85

Quick progress update. I am doing something similar on a pvp server but much much harder. And when I mean harder I mean when I am done they will have to delete the class and redo it from scratch.

Can't say much besides I have been at it for about 4 months and had to restart several times due to issues with how Blizzard gives auto quest completions at level 20 and 40 for receiving riding mail notices. I am trying this new one on 3 different servers so I basically have 2 backups if one dies.

that song doesnt go with this video

[lemonsoon]

@kessler360 that is because you do not know the origin of the song. Ever played Portal?
