A few weeks ago at level 35 Gnometosser is making the trek from TM to Hammerfall and I run by a 31 warrior near the Alliance base you pass on the way. He was very close to his base so I just kept going. A minute later I’m fighting a 37 ogre for a kill quest when a ?? human warrior named Smartypant comes up behind me. Smartypant attacks and his 31 friend is there to watch the show. Anyway, I ice trap Smartypant the ?? and attack the 31 (leaving my pet on the ogre which was probably an error – should have sent him after the 31). Anyway, when the 31 realizes he’s not just a spectator he uses intercept to get to melee. He should have run.

 

He reaches me at about half life. I pop deterrence and wait for counter attack to become available. I get range again and he is at 25% life. He starts running but he should have done that a long time ago. Ice trap breaks and the ?? starts beating on me but I kill the 31 with about 500 health left – 25%. I face the ?? but of course don’t last much longer.

 

I think I won this encounter and it was certainly the best time I’ve ever had getting ganked by a ??. But after I die Smartypant starts doing his emotes: “no way; ain’t gonna happen” etc. I don’t know because I can’t see the world through Alliance eyes, but did he think he won? I mean a ?? should be able to keep his friend alive when they go ganking together, right?

 

IMO smartypant is full of fail although he may be proud of it…
