    I use the term "gank" like people outside the game know what that means. Most people understand from context, but look at me funny for ganking the last pizza slice.

    FANTASTIC thread!
    Makes me feel happy to be a gamer! :)
    As of life I still see it as a pre-release Alpha build with disastrous balance issues. Even the grind is pointless if the rewards get patched to be unavailable again and again by the time I finish the quests. Not many players around having minds with sharpened trait but at least prosperous has some value...

    You can harvest it but only once every year :)
    Remember starting ESO, came to the moon sugar plantation and was disappointed I could not harvest all the plants.

    Fun fact though! The small khajiit house in on a moon sugar farm. It has a rare flower node right next to the house also one nodes in the field. This house pays for it self...

    I have a tendency to always look for the best spot to hide from a sniper, or the structure most easily defendable from a zombie attack.

    What are your gamer reflexes doing to your brain when out in the real world?

    I remember riding to work after a 12 hour PVP sesh and out the corner of my eye people would have blue D.C. or yellow A.D. icons on their heads.

    Figured it was a good time to step away for a couple of days after that.
    @Volrion , I think as long as you didn't try to take a 'keep' after arriving, you're fine. ;)

    Anyone else ever find themselves looking at their surroundings and wondering if they could pull of a roll dodge (without pulling every muscle in their body?) Or perhaps you've had a salesman approach you and expected him to give you a quest?

    Real life is slavery. Also, horrible in every single aspect. You can't even pick race or starting island. And since there is no magicka, no heal is possible. F**K real life, damn it to hell.

    We are really derailing this thread...

    So yeah I had a chance to go to a gun range this trip but turned it down. Whilst it would be interesting I will be honest in saying they kind of scare the crap out of me and I am not sure how comfortable I would feel in an environment where there are a lot of random people shooting guns.

    I have heard this too! However I have heard its buggy! Sometimes when using it your screen will go black and you will load back in in a bed naked next to another player! This can give you character unwanted viruses or rarely it will unlock the Baby DLC

    Well, I guess it's all in the interpretation. @puffytheslayer I didn't take "support role" to mean the monetary variety at all.
    There are many ways to be supportive to a fellow being, regardless of the elf-gender of either party. And some are just better at it than others.

    I 'support' my group mates all the time - doesn't automatically mean I give them gold or they are incapable.

    Perhaps those particular 'elf-girls' shouldn't be so quick to assume, since neither is more or less capable than the other.
