I Need to Rethink My Identity Crisis

Wowee zowee, it's almost been a year since I last cared. After seeing a few small changes already made to WoW and hearing of changes in store, I'm back. After looking at the posts on here it occurred to me: having an "armorless" rogue with BoA extras was like having a lightsaber that can only cut through things weaker than titanium. After some serious* evaluation I've decided to start again, but with some changes this time. New way of doing things:

• Druid
• No armor or other equippables (rings, trinkets, etc.)
• No buying or selling from players or NPCs.**
• Not even going to learn healing spells, or anything that isn't a cat form attack.
• No looting.
• Cat form exclusively.

That last one is the only one really tearing me apart, but it was just too easy on Batty. My plan is to craft my own bags and such, and fund my professions and class skills from quest reward cash exclusively. I'm staying from healing spells because I do want this to be super challenging but I'm also sticking to cat form exclusively just because I started this as a rogue and gave up. Considering not getting mounts or flight form just to stick with staying in cat form 24/7 (except when teleporting, hearthstoning, or dying). One thing that is staying the same is I'm doing this on a PvP server (might as well go all the way, if I'm going all the way).

Though, I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to go back to WoW. So I ended up making a mockup of this character in a trial account. Luckily it turns out you only need level 8 for cat form (I thought it was 20) so that wasn't so bad. I ended up having to leave Mulgore since they wanted me to learn another spell for a quest and decided the Undercity would be the way to go.

Apparently it's Halloween there.


I was even lucky enough to get a Sinister Squashling from my first bag!

Of course my second bag made me realize it wasn't luck.

After finally getting to level 8 I thought up the "no buying or selling" thing. Really adds meaning to the word "rogue" despite this being a druid. I toyed with the idea of only using emotes to communicate but that didn't last long. Fffff I'm tired so I'll just dump the rest of the pictures and call it a night.


It seems bukkits do not go transparent with their ghostly holders.

Decapitated that horseman.

I offer plenty of legroom and two cup holders.


Glad to see I'm not the only weirdo on this server.

UUUUUNNG.
