Go me. Though I only had 8g on me, I needed 40g to buy a mount + training.<br \/>\nSo I went to a &#8216;reliable&#8217; source I&#8217;ve been with before; tusongold.com.<br \/>\nLet me tell you guys something. I do NOT like having to do this! Because;<br \/>\n1. It&#8217;s against the ToU(Terms of Use) of Blizzard to buy, and especially sell gold.<br \/>\n2. It&#8217;s pathetic having to pay for something you can get yourself, if you would just use a little effort and learn to love farming instances for the rest of your life.<br \/>\n3. &#8230; I can&#8217;t come up with 40g on my own?? It&#8217;s only 40g! Wtf!? Blizzard expects you to be rolling in dough at this level.<br \/>\n4. These idiots can barley speak English. It&#8217;s like &#8220;Ok u buy gold from me&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Here I have told countless gold beggars to &#8220;quest and you&#8217;ll get the money&#8221;, and I&#8217;m faced with the same predicament. Yeah. The irony. But at least I don&#8217;t beg for money! No sir! &#8230; I pay someone to give me it.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s pathetic to say the least. My determination to do everything that&#8217;s legally possible to get it just floats out the door, when I see an easy way out by paying. No suffering.<br \/>\nI guess because of the trials I&#8217;ve had on Benie, that I don&#8217;t want to experience it again.<\/p>\n<p>To make a long, and I mean a <strong>long<\/strong> story, short, I paid for the gold, waited several hours, had to explain to the idiot what a fucking &#8220;PM&#8221; was instead of call me to let me know(seriously, how long has he been in business, and he doesn&#8217;t know what a PM is?!), and got it. So now I have the mount.<br \/>\nThis means I can finally go to Desolace and quest, right? Wrong&#8230; apparently I fucked up as I was trying to level him. This was obvious when I got on my Tauren Shaman(no, not the Level 51 I used to have, he&#8217;s a 31), and saw he has yet to do the quests that I&#8217;ve done as my Hunter.<br \/>\nSpeaking of my Shaman, I used him to go to Org and get someone to get my Hunter into my Horde guild; &#8220;I Dont Join Guilds&#8221;. This name is the original guild name I had when I leveled Benie up, but it was after I had the guild; &#8220;The Human Spirit&#8221;. That was my first ever fake guild.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to my Tauren Hunter. I&#8217;m faced with a dilemma. I&#8217;ll have to level up somewhere else than Desolace, and it pisses me off that I didn&#8217;t think of questing in Ashenvale when I had the chance, helping myself even further. But I wanted to stay in The Barrens. Now it&#8217;s too late.<br \/>\nSo far though, it seems I&#8217;m focused to go to Hillsbrad Foothills. I dinged to Level 31 there, but now it&#8217;s telling me to go to the Arathi Highlands. And that&#8217;s too high for me right now. It&#8217;s the same level as Desolace &#8212; 30-40, with the Level 40&#8217;s near the border between the two zones I mentioned above, Hillsbrad Foothills and Arathi Highlands.<\/p>\n<p>As I was leveling on my Hunter, a got a PM from a guy who goes by &#8220;Paul&#8221; from tusongold.com&#8217;s Customer Service, asking me questions about who&#8217;s my main and what servers do I play on. I questioned why is he asking me these questions, and he didn&#8217;t have an answer, then he asked me how can tusongold.com be improved, due to the ordeal I had with them.<br \/>\nI explained that PMing ingame should be an alternative from calling by phone, and to fix the damn errors I had when trying to login to my account there. They act like &#8216;we didn&#8217;t even know about this until you told us&#8217;&#8230;<br \/>\nHe then said he could help me out the next time I need gold, by getting it to me quickly, and also giving me bonus gold. So I guess that would be good.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhat-related news, I decided to hop on Benie for awhile and take my Nether Drake(who I named &#8220;Drago&#8221;. I refuse to say the source of it) for a spin around Northrend, and did some spying on two Horde towns, checking them out and seeing what they might look like once my Horde char gets there&#8230; IF he gets there.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m damn surprised I managed to even get Benie up from a little Level 1, to what he is now. I wish I could go back in time to see how I did it. But I figure I probably did every instance possible for my level, unlike my Horde char. Another bad mistake on his part.<br \/>\nHere I&#8217;m thinking &#8220;surly the soloable quests alone will be enough to get my level up. It worked for my Druid of getting him from 70 to 80&#8221;. So far this thought seems to be flawed.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why I don&#8217;t want to do instances? I&#8217;m an impatient little twerp! I&#8217;m sick and tired of spamming &#8220;LFG (instance abbreviation here)&#8221;, waiting for hours in a capital city, for an instance that no one seems to care about.<br \/>\nI feel it&#8217;s pointless to even look for a group anymore, due to &#8220;Let me go get my main and I&#8217;ll run you through, he&#8217;s an 80&#8221;, or we start filling a group of people the level of the instance, then we&#8217;re waiting for a Tank or a Healer and some guys think of leaving, and then we get a high level joining us, 1-hit killing everything in the instance and taking our XP\/kills away, making it pointless to even shoot.<br \/>\nBlizzard should nerf it where you HAVE to be within a certain level range to be in a group for an instance, to make it fair for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Example, I as Benie try to help this low level group though an instance. I should get a message saying &#8220;You&#8217;re too high to be in this group. Solo it yourself and let them get someone their level!&#8221;<br \/>\nOf course that does have some unfairness. Say like another example, I try to run my alt through an instance, and it won&#8217;t let me because I&#8217;m too high.<br \/>\nWow. I just defeated my own suggestion. That&#8217;s sad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Tauren Hunter has hit Level 30 today! Go me. Though I only had 8g on me, I needed 40g to buy a mount + training.
