I'm not much of a speaker, or a writer for that matter, however there is something I must address here today.
I am Horde. I am a shaman. But first and foremost I am a Troll. A blue skinned and proud mountain of a creature. When I say troll you probably think "Oh, Goddy! One of those reef smoking rasta thingies that sounds so funny, wonder if he can hit me with some Fadeleaf?". How is a serious career shammy like me gonna advance with an attitude like this?
This is what worries me, being troll is not the glamour life of lust filled copulation and reef smoking you might think. Most of my troll friends, who I will note mention by name, due to the overwhelming risk of endangering their career as solo-raiders and priests.
First off, you have no idea of the isolation one suffers from having to say things like: " Da spiritz ov PvPee be strong i yu mon", " Me can do preem heel fo yu, mon.". This is not a funny issue, it is a severe social handicap that makes interaction for us a major problem, oh the wipes! (FFS, oom is not an expression of delight over said fadeleaf)
Secondly, our posture. When I'm walking around I usually get the look: " Oh lordy, there one of those cool, reefing trolls and his beachy and layed back style of walking. He's cooler than Macgyver". Once again, do you have any idea of what carrying around a friggin 2h mace does to ones back? Not to mention the hundreds of miles we have to ride on our Raptors, bumpy as hell. It is not "Cool" walking around, dragging your nose in the Tauren-dung filled dirt of the Crossroads.
Third. The tusks. Not even remotely funny. Nothing worse than fighting and trying to gulp a potion only to smash it against your own face, getting that sticky mana juice in your eyes. Instant wipe. The tusks are also a major reason to before mentioned grammar issues.
I hope all you Moo-cows, gruntz and sissy Night elves out there will refrain from these simplifications of our Troll handicaps in the future. Please give us the respect and care we require to overcome these difficulties.
BTW, server is down.
