			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Faction changing <a href="http://www.wow.com/2009/09/17/faction-changes-available-in-europe/" target="_blank">was activated</a> 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.</p>
<div id="attachment_316" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/undead2gnome.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-316" title="undead2gnome" src="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/undead2gnome-800x611.jpg" alt="undead2gnome" width="640" height="489" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;Thank you Gnome-o-matic(tm)!&quot;</p></div>
<p>So why would I want to make my beautiful hordie into a gnome?  Well since we don&#8217;t raid Ulduar anymore, and coliseum really doesn&#8217;t take very long to clear &#8211; I&#8217;m bored.  What better way to relieve boredom by :</p>
<ol>
<li>Leveling an alt, but on Alliance side which I have never done so a lot of the quests are new</li>
<li>Actually being able to level in BGs like Alterac Valley due to alliance winning 99% of them in the lower brackets</li>
</ol>
<p>Of course let&#8217;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&#8217;s alts like the dirty dogs they are.  And this is where <a href="http://www.carboniteaddon.com/" target="_blank">Carbonite</a> is very useful.</p>
<p>For those who don&#8217;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&#8217;s pretty popular with most of Apex &#8211; but usually only turned on when playing an alt.  It&#8217;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 &#8211; 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, <em>right?</em></p>
<p>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&#8217;s name is taken from a massively <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1099212/" target="_blank">emo vampire film</a>.  Secondly that I strongly suspect my death on the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DkfSRd04pA" target="_blank">Anub&#8217;arak 25 man heroic kill</a> (at ~8:37) to be his fault!</p>
<div id="attachment_324" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 622px"><a href="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tracking_alts.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-324 " title="tracking_alts" src="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tracking_alts.jpg" alt="tracking_alts" width="612" height="398" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Robert Pattinson‎ ain&#39;t gonna save you this time bitch!</p></div>
<p>And the inevitable result:</p>
<div id="attachment_320" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 323px"><a href="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/twilightsucks.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-320" title="twilightsucks" src="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/twilightsucks.jpg" alt="twilightsucks" width="313" height="295" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Twilight fucking sucks!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">The next target was to be the dps DK Slavik.  As some of you might have seen in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DkfSRd04pA" target="_blank">Anub&#8217;Arak video</a> at the very start while looking through Nos&#8217; PoV he whispered saying:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/slavik_anti_healer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-331" title="slavik_anti_healer" src="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/slavik_anti_healer.jpg" alt="slavik_anti_healer" width="462" height="59" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/slavik_doci_alt.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-332" title="slavik_doci_alt" src="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/slavik_doci_alt.jpg" alt="slavik_doci_alt" width="360" height="444" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just my luck he was spotted in AV a bit later, and I managed to find him defending a capped bunker.</p>
<div id="attachment_333" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 376px"><a href="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/healthis.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-333" title="healthis" src="http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/healthis.jpg" alt="healthis" width="366" height="487" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">HEAL THIS MOTHERFUCKER!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Turned out to be a pretty fun day <img src='http://www.cowslovescake.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
