I'm not really much of a PvE guy--I do a LOT of battlegrounds and some arenas as well. But I'm not particularly /good/ at arenas, so about a year ago I was decided to try to get Seethe from FoS heroic because quite frankly there's nothing cooler than a warlock in Relentless gear carrying around a big badass sword. And boy did I get a big badass sword out of that single run of FoS.
Yes, the Battered Hilt dropped after running no more than, oh say 15-20 heroics on any character. The saddest WoW day of my life was when I replaced it with some stupid tentacle staff nonsense my first day of Cataclysm. Quel'Delar, Lens of the Mind now presides in its own bag in my bank.
Well, maybe it has something to do with the annoyingly formulaic approach to introducing the races with the tropes of prototypical "I am strong and stupid and spirited!" character juxtaposed with "Here's something profound, maybe the 'Brains over brawn' idea is actually true in a universe with FUCKING MAGIC AND GIGANTIC STEAMPUNK WAR MACHINES" character and the "Grah we're powerful and like fire" character. How about just add in a fire level and a water level and have players form parties to collect all 200 bananas!
I can't even begin to state all of my frustrations with this video. Though one of them is certainly the fact that nobody else sees them.
I joined the force about a week ago- according to the guy at orientation they hire about 85% of their temporary employees permanently, but I'm guessing that number might go down a bit this year considering the amount of hirees.
The best way to get a job there without some good credentials is to just spend some time getting to know the people who work there, making friends, and doing more than one application- like once every other month. They throw out ones that aren't recent enough.
