Frenzied Frustration

Well, I'm convinced that RNG hates me...or that I'm just destined to lose rolls...

See...I went into Obsidian Sanctum last night on 10 man. The group wanted to do a 3 drake zerg. For any of you who don't know what this means, it means we defeat Sartharion with 3 drakes alive, completely ignoring the "mini bosses" and focusing our efforts solely on Sartharion. This means a guaranteed mount drop (on both 10 and 25 man). The Black Drake drops on 10 man and the Twilight Drake drops on 25 man.

We were successful in bringing him down. I rolled a 77 for the mount...and was beaten by our tank who had rolled a 99...grrrrrr! It's easy enough now that a lot of groups do it, so I'm going to keep trying to get into these groups. Eventually I'll get lucky, right? RIGHT?!

I can't really be upset about that, and I'm not, because I did get the Twilight Assist (10 man) achievement last night. I had gotten that achievement on 25 man recently. Conveniently lost that drake roll also. So I mean...I live to try another day, right?

I did some dailies and got a little gold last night and then decided I'd run Heroic: Magister's Terrace again in hopes of getting my paws on the Swift White Hawkstrider.

Did it drop?

Yes!

Did I get it?

No...

OMG WHY NOT?!?!

Because I took a guildie friend in with me to prevent the frequent deaths I meet at Kael'thas Sunstrider's hands...and he won the roll. I rolled 85 and he rolled 93.

Am I mad?

No.

Am I frustrated?

You could say that...

See, I've run that instance 40 times now, on heroic, waiting for the mount to drop. My guild mate has run with me now two or three times...so it was definitely frustrating to FINALLY see the mount drop and lose the roll.

So anyway, I am still listing it as 0/40 on my farming tracker on the side there because I didn't end up winning the mount.

I went into Zul'Gurub and beat the Bloodlord absolutely senseless in a wild burst of frenzied frustration. He had it coming. If he'd just drop the raptor we would be all set. I beat up Ghaz'ranka and the tiger boss guy again, with my guild mate there to help out. Nothing there either...so the farming continues. I will get these three mounts. I will also be smacking the smile off of Attumen's face tonight. I consider this his warning.
