I got a funny story about Tink the necro.
Early PoP Mercuria, a LoS bard, was swarm kiting those werewolf things in PoN (nightstalkers? I forget) and had repeatedly trained Tink the necro's group.
Now it was getting pretty close to raid time so Mercuria had vacated the area by the time the GM showed up. Now the funny coincidence happened to be that our raid was in that zone in nightmare (honestly been so long I dont remember the zones or the gods name in that zone TT i think). So I was beelining for the raid, and as usual, not really paying any attention nor caring what I agroed while I traveled.
I passed Tinks group, and paused for a moment since i was mildly curious why a GM was there, then I realized I couldnt actually stand still for too long or I would be creamed because by then I had a healthy bunch of mobs trailing me. So I went on my merry way. I was sort of in a rush, it is very hard to boot people from trade channel and cause the general sort of havock I was fond of when I used to play, while running.
I zoned into the new zone, and was promtly sent a tell "Greetings! GM soandso here. I regret to inform you that you have just recieved a warning on your account for intentional training. Have a nice day!"
I replied "I didn't know passwording trade channel was considered training"
I then questioned the GM a bit, and she figured that I was the bard repeatedly training Tink the necros group, since she witnessed me with a train of mobs behind me, and stopped in front of that said group.
I then sent a tell to Tink the necro, asking him/or her to please inform the GM that I was not the one who had been training them for the past few hours. The reply I recieved was not unexpected:
"An LoS bard has been training us, you are an LoS bard, thats good enough for me"
I shrugged it off, I mean, hell I was due a warning. I had previously done uncountable trains, ninja looted, KS'd, gated mobs, messed with others(and my own guilds) raids that I really had it coming whether I was guilty of this particular incident or not.
I never made an issue. The only reason I figured I would post was I wanted to make sure one of my brethen got the credit due them. I would never try to mislead anyone into thinking I was anything other than what I am, an immature shallow jackass, and Tink the necro deserves full credit for the title of shallow. I really dont appreciate all these people posting how great a person Tink the necro is, I mean if people did that to me I would hope someone would set things straight!~
