Re: Stuff it took me awhile to figure out

I am sure everyone has a few of these. Here are a couple that I
am glad I didn't ask about on this forum.

For the longest time I could not figure out what the little red
dots on the casting buttons were. I would see them light up and
then go away. Was it mana? Cooldown? Finally a "lightbulb"
moment. Distance. If you were too far away you couldn't cast it.
Duh.

That one I figured out pretty quickly, but it was *months* before I found
out about the autorun feature. It changed my WoW life. It also took me
awhile to figure out 'growl' for my pet.

There's an awful lot of 'basic' information when one is a new player, and if
you have no rl friends who also play, you don't even realize there are
ginormous gaps in knowledge.


Also for some reason, I thought that the Shimmerscale Eels you
needed for "Rather Be Fishin" needed to be fished from that lake
near Shattrath. WHich I couldn't do because my fishing skill wasn't
high enough. I ventured into the lake one time for some other
reason and SAW eels swimming around and had my duh! moment of the
day. And Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole a few minutes later.

I have "equipped" things I was supposed to "use". (A quest in the Blasted
Lands springs to mind immediately.) And I actually opened a GM ticket for a
quest in Teldrassil when I was 'using' the wrong item for "Druid of the
Claw". I discovered my goof just as the GM contacted me. It taught me a
valuable lesson about reporting problems!
