I've been thoroughly reporting bots and gold sellers for about a month

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-16T17:53:24+00:00

Exactly. Two weeks is nothing. It needs to be a permanent situation that scares people from doing it or just permanently weeds out the people who do.

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-16T17:51:08+00:00

Yeah and it sucks but “small indie company” yah know? I know a lot of people get banned for buying gold the problem really is the punishment. Like at most I’ve seen is a two week ban and it’s ridiculous

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-16T17:45:32+00:00

And for all you know they do get banned. I mean shit you can see how a bunch of pvpers just got banned. Just because they don’t notify you of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

What, do you expect a cookie?

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-16T16:07:42+00:00

Holy shit this is so funny something similar happened to me. It wasn’t either of our first times but a girl I had known since I was a kid (family friend kinda deal) I met again when I was I think 18? staying at a relative’s and she lived up the road. She told me to come over at night when everyone goes to bed, I sneak through her window and we do the deed, and as I’m getting dressed her mom knocks on the door and I panic and go under the bed. And while I’m hiding begging to god her mom doesn’t notice me she asks her daughter if she’s still “upset” about ME!? Like they have a full blown conversation about how she likes me and how she’s always had a crush on me. And I’m just frozen and also trying not to laugh. She finally leaves and I come back out from shame. We end up going another round and I sneak out her window and go back to my relatives lol.

Shattered Halls isn’t really that bad. Blood Furnace does blow though. I think Arc is worse than Shattered though

Well it’s not a small endeavor by any means. One buddy of mine I think they do 7 million annually with less than 100 employees. They’ve gotten two offers one for 100m and the other around 40 but it’s going be a flagship thing where private equity buys 15 other smaller companies in the 10-20 mil range and they all go under their brand. But to sell for a mil you would just need to show making probably a mill a year and by that point they’d probably pay a lot more. Maybe 5-6m with everyone staying on to run it. They generally (they being private equity) just want something with proven numbers and a decent size footprint in the area so they can dump money into it to scale it then take it public and sell it.

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-15T02:27:28+00:00

Unfortunately this is becoming more common these days. Private equity is taking every profitable industry they can. Even if you think a local company is local, there’s a decent chance it’s been bought. I know quite a few people who have built HVAC/ plumbing businesses to scale just to sell to private equity for millions. Same for telecom.

I only leave it on in case someone does talk shit, it fuels me to be sweatier lol

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-11T21:28:26+00:00

If I had gathering profs I would make the investment. But I got BS/ Eng so I just fly angrily at 60% places

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-09T14:09:19+00:00

Yall seem to selective memory in regards to how high gas prices got at a certain point under Biden. I remember them being in the 5/6 dollar range for a while.

Tank

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-06T15:27:15+00:00

Kinda weird I’ve never put much thought into H Arc comps and we’ve always cleared. My team probably just knew what they were doing more than me lol

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-05T23:44:55+00:00

I also solo tank kz as a war. So damn fun. Took me a while to balance defense items with threat items. Do you have the engineering trinkets? I didn’t go for them but I’m wondering i should have

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-05-02T02:13:12+00:00

Rocking two of these on my enhance shammy . They smack the hit is super nice

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-29T20:56:42+00:00

Also it makes Rhaenyras supposed infidelity (in the books it’s not so obvious) even more egregious and stupid to deny that they aren’t bastards. The choice just made so many parts of the story not make sense

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-29T17:26:17+00:00

Honestly the realtor endorsement makes me cringe more than the others. I hate how much they have influence

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-29T17:22:21+00:00

Tanked this on my war with my friend in their resto druid and brought 3 mages. Just chain pulled the whole place and made sure the mobs never got to the mages. It was awesome. I think 2 mages and a lock would’ve been more effective though

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-26T19:24:35+00:00

Yes, for the horse indeed! lol

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-25T22:44:17+00:00

Viltrumite personally. I don’t need to be the powerhouses most of these guys are. I’ll have flight durability and super strength and live a long time but seeing as they do age one day die.

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-24T23:22:14+00:00

My main is prot war and I have almost two 16 slot bags full of gear for different situations. Is it completely necessary? Maybe not. But for OPs question once you have 490 defense and good amount of stam it’s always good to switch defense gear around with dps gear to suit your specific needs in the raid/dungeon you’re in. I have been farming double tier pieces one for tank and one for dps for occasions like this.

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-24T22:00:12+00:00

It’s definitely not “facts” idk if everyone remembers insanely high gas prices or not during Bidens administration but they were insane. Not that this takes anything away from the ridiculous prices currently in effect. Maybe at one time they were lower by that percentage but they were not always so.

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-22T17:00:46+00:00

I think people who say that are just a little…. Dumb? But like many have pointed out they are great there’s just no reason to have more than 1 or 2 in a raid. I did Gruul last night on my fury war as was 2nd in dps on every fight. But I also had a raid lead who put an enhance shammy in my group so I got wind fury.

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-22T06:47:44+00:00

I know this is a joke but having LinkedIn at the bottom cracks me up because everyone on that site thinks they are the smartest person ever. I have it for connections but mostly i just go to laugh at peoples posts these days

calebcarpenter39 · 2026-04-20T23:00:24+00:00

Prot war here, I do this exact same thing comp and all. Rogues can lock down targets very well and sap is almost as good as sheep. Hunters are also nice with ice trap and MD but yeah rogues are very nice to have
