For a moment I thought you were referring to the time when the server had just gone back up the first time after Moltdown (and not the 2nd time after everything had been wiped again) when
this happened (>ლ)
But yes, you're absolutely right, I did get carried by a paladin and honestly I did it mostly for the achievements (as I'm an achievement hunter), and maybe a little bit for the bragging rights as people always like to trashtalk me for playing arcane and because it's always funny to show those people that this braindead monkey has a higher arena rating than them (as those people also like to say that BGs don't matter and that arenas are the only thing that matters, and then only 3's matter, and then only retail 3's matter, and then nothing matters because it's just a game but we're still having this conversation because '**** you that's why' etc etc.) However, I probably still am the highest rated arcane mage with 2.4k as I doubt any other mage plays arcane seriously enough to get past 2.2k with it (or has such a nice pally-buddy to carry them), not that that means much considering the circumstances, but for the sake of my e-peen I like to believe I still am number juan ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
But yeah, obviously I'm just a troll who likes to play my class because I like the mechanics of it and I like to play BGs because I enjoy having an open map with objectives rather than just a box with pure PvP and mathematical equations of CD tracking and so on. I'm more of an RPG gamer, and since I'm playing on a laptop which can't handle any newer games that require more than a intergrated graphics card (it might also be funny to inform you that I'm also playing on a notepad with a half broken LMB instead of with a mouse) WoW will have to do! Also; I'm very good at it, at BG's. I'm not good at arenas though, and I don't want to be. I rarely ever find people who are good at arenas without being total *******s as people, and I don't want to be an *******, nor do I want to spend time with them.
One can say that "this doesn't matter" or "nobody cares about that" and make a bunch of excuses that are all very conflicting and confusing to protect ones ego, but at the end of the day I just enjoy doing what I'm doing and I don't feel the need to stick my e-peen down other peoples' throats to feel good about myself and it amuses me to try and deflate the ego of the people who do!
PS. You should be glad I'm not still up to my old
shenanigans, because then you'd really have your jimmies rustled!
