Gaming Procrastination...

[silverthorne]

If you know me, you know I'm good at putting things off until the very last minute and then trying to get it all done in two hours, like whoa. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes not, but it's an annoying little trait I have that I'm not always successful at overcoming.



Then there's the related trait of 'I can mess around as much as I want, because it's just for fun and maybe I just don't wanna do it'. Which honestly doesn't sound quite so bad as the first, until you realize that the second half of that particulatr thought process is usually followed by 'but you can't do anything else until you finish this one first'.

Which tends to shoot me in the foot, since that means not only do I not finish the first thing, I don't do anything else, either. Which means I and up doing a whole lot of nothing.

Well, I'm at that point with my main on WoW.

She's been at level 50 for a month and half now. I started backtracking to do low level quests just to clear areas and get a little extra rep, and also because most of what's on her 'to do' list is dungeons (one red level, one yellow, a couple of greens and a few greys), and we all know how I feel about PuGs. :P Add to that the part of my brain that says 'no more until you finish these', the fact that I'd like to get her to 60 before I go play with the 'baby' Ari on the other server, and I'm pretty much spending my WoW time wandering around the wilds doing not much of anything ATM, since the wilds I do know about are mostly 'low level' for me now.

I need a kickstart. And possibly an idea of where to go to munch mobs to get all my current dungeons to grey so I can get them off the list...or, something.

What makes it worse is that I have a few other alts I'd like to play as well, but again, the little general in my head goes 'uh uh, finish this one first'. :/

Any suggestions?

*nods* I think the whole reason why I was trying to clear areas was so that I didn't have to backtrack later, especially since my fav spot is actually the Tarren Mill area, but at this point there's not much for me to do there other than skinning. *Woe* (Although I am there at this moment because I'm trying to get enough heavy leather gathered to help get my leatherworking up to 225).

I actually have a few yellow and one red Un'Goro quests, and like I said above, I did okay with the one I actually finished, as long as I didn't get too hasty and draw aggro. I also have that one quest journal you can pick up from a kill that I need to find the NPC for. That elite Dino going through the area kinda scares me, though. Espeically since, unlike most elite mobs I've seen up to now, he's 'red' and not 'yellow' when you mouse over him. :/

As far as actual goals I want ATM (Other than, get to level 60), both are mount related. I want the tiger and the ...oh crap, I forgot what they're called--the horse things with the ram horns--so bad, I can taste it. :/

If I remember correctly, you want a talbuk. :)

The tiger is going to be a more difficult proposition for you, since you're Horde and most of the saber kitties are night elf racial mounts. However, never fear, one does drop out of an instance - sadly, a raid instance - ZG. But being a level 60 raid, you'll see people run it from time to time either for the mount or for the achievement.

Hehehe. Muhahaha. This is but a preview of what lies ahead. Wait until you find yourself jumping in Hellfire Penninsula every time you hear a metallic whine and the ground shakes...At least you can actually see the level of the T-rexes, unlike the Fel Reaver at level 60...Or the Storm Giant in Howling Fjord at level 70...

...muhahaha. Welcome to living levelling hazards.
