While I agree that this trinket is annoying too - because it makes me dance and I don't want to - but I never thought of it as such a violation and involuntary action.<BR/><BR/>But honestly, the reason it annoys me most is that it's called the Piccolo of Flaming Fire, but the noise it makes is from a harp.

I completely agree that it is evil. I chose my race for reasons other than the dance. I hate the dances for most of my characters. At least with the disco ball a male human or male night elf looks reasonable. I never /dance with them and I don't care to have it used on me without having the opportunity to exact revenge by having the player arena flagged for using it. I suspect players with it would use it far less often if their characters were murdered each time they did.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069892977149020583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-91526825272528036812008-09-26T12:39:00.000+02:002008-09-26T12:39:00.000+02:00@Cynra: I think you're on to something there.

We had a more practical reason for this, however; many of the long-time raiders were on either poor connections or possessed antediluvian computers that could barely handle the zone in which we were much less watching forty people suddenly dance. It was a matter of raid survival.<BR/><BR/>One of the things that annoys me about it is that I am a roleplayer and I prefer to think that the vast majority of my actions are performed while in-character. For example, I'm almost ridiculously proud of the fact that my kal'dorei huntress has voluntarily danced <B>once</B> in her over three years of existence -- and then only with a number of troll women with whom she bonded for a period of time. Watching her dance, especially so mindless a dance that just doesn't portray her at all as I would like to, drives me bonkers.<BR/><BR/>The piccolo had use. It allowed you to prevent the ghostly citizens in Stratholm from attacking you without having to target each of them individually and hitting a /dance macro. Personally, I feel that it should remain there unless a situation definitely warrants it. And, most of the time, it won't.<BR/><BR/>I almost have to wonder if time spent within the game would help us determine why such a divide exists regarding the Piccolo of Flaming Fire. Most of the long-time players that I know dislike it. Players who joined either just before or after the release of The Burning Crusade seem to find it novel and new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-20912209822668148902008-09-25T20:05:00.000+02:002008-09-25T20:05:00.000+02:00PFFT.

I know very few people who own, and even fewer who use it. I do think it is funny on occasion when i does get used. It isnt like the spell makes you dance no stop like when mages could sheep you continously in PvP. <BR/><BR/>To me its one of those special little items that adds a little more flavor to the game. Like the items that transform you to the opposite faction or into and ogre. I think I may go ahead and get one.Darraxushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290390808933294129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-75819806999591660692008-09-25T15:49:00.000+02:002008-09-25T15:49:00.000+02:00@everyone:I obviously succeeded to stir up some em...@everyone:<BR/><BR/>I obviously succeeded to stir up some emotions with this rant.

I've never thought of other players as mosquitos, but now as I think of it I think it describes it perfectly.<BR/><BR/>@Eishen, Desdarii and other dance fans: I like to dance to! But I prefer if its volontary. I got myself that dancing bracer at the summer event and carry it all the time. It's fun to use when you're bored waiting for a raid to start for instance. But no one is forcing you.

Something like a car stepping in a rain pool and spraying water on the bus queue. It can help people realize they are in a world no only with her closest friends...and even make friends with the boy next to him while both are dancing annoyed :-)<BR/><BR/>And it doesn´t hurt anybody. You can allways stop dancing by touching a single key and walk and step.<BR/><BR/>I got one.

I must say though, I truly hope you're joking about the trinket. I mean sheesh! the thing has like a 5-yard radius, and it's not like you lose complete control - move 6 yards from the 'culprit' and bingo! It may well be irritating on occasion, but it's not really that big a deal. Your character is dancing, so what? On a lighter note, keep up the good work, I've nothing but admiration for someone that blogs so well in a language not their own. You do a masterful job.
