Tonight I came pretty goddamn close to quitting WOW for good.
I'm in Tanaris, I'm running around helping Bud complete a quest, when this big turtle named Tooga spawns up. He has a quest. Strange. I go over and talk to him. He's lost! He can't find his wife Torta. He needs help getting to her, and asks me to lead him there. So I decide to do it. I start walking, all the way across Tanaris, fending off shit that tries to kill Tooga. He says things now and again. “I'm thirsty.” “Torta must be so worried!” I start to really feel for Tooga and Torta. Like, REALLY. I'm so excited to get them back together. After about 15 minutes of trekking, I'm about 200 yards away from Torta. I can just see her... Then a Troll Hunter named “Ak” just lays into me. I'm dead before I can do anything. He was 5 levels up on me. I'm laying there, dead, shocked... Tooga vanishes. The hunter laughs and laughs and cries mockingly.
I tried to go find Tooga, but Thottbot says he could respawn anywhere in Tanaris. There's no way I'd find him again. I could never unite Torta and Tooga.
I couldn't believe it. It may seems silly or sappy or childish, but I was seriously excited to get Torta and Tooga back together. I really wanted to complete the mission. And I think that Horde player knew what mission I was on, and ruined it on purpose, just cause he knew how much time I'd spent, and how upsetting it'd be. The fact that I'm trying to enjoy myself in a world where people are so utterly dedicated to ruining everyone else's time... That made me want to quit. I simply can't stand things that expose me to other human beings, and their petty, selfish, horrible nature.
I don't know what else to do, but blog it. To try to vent out some of the hate that some anonymous social infant felt the need to inject me with.
