Faction changing was activated on EU realms a few days ago, and I was bored the other night and thought it might be funny to faction change my lvl 66 alt rogue over to alliance and make him a gnome, so I did.

"Thank you Gnome-o-matic(tm)!"

So why would I want to make my beautiful hordie into a gnome?  Well since we don’t raid Ulduar anymore, and coliseum really doesn’t take very long to clear – I’m bored.  What better way to relieve boredom by :

1. Leveling an alt, but on Alliance side which I have never done so a lot of the quests are new
2. Actually being able to level in BGs like Alterac Valley due to alliance winning 99% of them in the lower brackets

Of course let’s not forget the massive fringe benefit (ok ok it was the main reason I did it) of being able to hunt down and kill guildie’s alts like the dirty dogs they are.  And this is where Carbonite is very useful.

For those who don’t know Carbonite is a leveling addon which provides quest objective tracking via a mini map, among a lot of other things. The map you get from Carbonite makes leveling a breeze so it’s pretty popular with most of Apex – but usually only turned on when playing an alt.  It’s a reasonably bloated addon with more useless features than I can list within this post, but is good for what I want to do because one of the bloat-features in this fat-ware is the ability to see any guildie who is running Carbonite on your map – anywhere in the game world.  This setting is by default turned on, and why not? Surely no one in your own guild would use your location information to your detriment, right?

I decided the first target should be Splirron, who is the other resto druid in Apex.  I felt like he should die for two main reasons really, number one being that his hunter alt’s name is taken from a massively emo vampire film.  Secondly that I strongly suspect my death on the Anub’arak 25 man heroic kill (at ~8:37) to be his fault!

Robert Pattinson‎ ain't gonna save you this time bitch!

And the inevitable result:

Twilight fucking sucks!

The next target was to be the dps DK Slavik.  As some of you might have seen in the Anub’Arak video at the very start while looking through Nos’ PoV he whispered saying:

Now I know that was just a joke but these crimes against healers cannot be tolerated without some kind of retribution.  A quick search of the guild roster shows me he has a Paladin alt called Doci.

Just my luck he was spotted in AV a bit later, and I managed to find him defending a capped bunker.

HEAL THIS MOTHERFUCKER!

Turned out to be a pretty fun day
