I read dear_gnome, reasonable quality rants and a reminder that in general my realm is one of the better ones out there in the EU.  A lower level of moronic behaviour and reasonably nice people, the same is true for most of the battlegroup.  However since 4.0.3a has dropped I have noticed what I can…
