Some Scenario Insight

Finally pulled myself away from all the Borderlands 2 streams to get Theramore Tabard Farming going back in WoW. The long queue time hasn't been bothering me as I find other things to do. Each toon has needed some clearing up both in inventory and bank along with dropping lingering quests to fill up with dailies. 

When the priest got into the Scenario I quickly discovered that there's no Vote Kick. I'm sure all the griefers instantly realized and enjoy this as here was my first time grouping with one: Drovosek-Scarlet Crusade. He couldn't have been AFK as I believe there are no longer LUA means of accepting queues. But he just sat there. The entire time. Was hoping that since he didn't collect a banner at the end he wouldn't get credit but no dice. He bugged out after the boomkin and I did all the work. Fucking brilliant design Blizzard.

Naturally I wanted to take advantage of this griefer-friendly environment so I loaded up the second account. Here's where I made another discovery. This was the first time I queue'd for the scenario on that account and the queue popped instantly. I suppose that makes marketing sense. Give everyone ultra-priority if they don't have the achievement on the license yet. But this sneak plus the population cap they are enforcing makes the queue times insane.

I felt bad letting my hunter sit there at the docks until I tabbed back to my priest where that warrior was doing the same. Karmic balance. Another fun fact: after thirty minutes of queue time the display stops showing the god-awful estimate. Clever!
