So I hit level 10 and was frustrated that I still didnt have a stinkin' wand yet. You know, a nice
Lesser Magic Wand that even a half-blind, one legged Troll rolling a gimped Discipline Priest could afford? Anyway, we dont have things like that in our auction house. In fact, the last time I checked we had three wands for sale ranging from level 27 to 50. Also, my enchanting level is way to low to make one yet. I suppose I could have begged a guildie to make me one but wheres the story in that?
So, I decided to try out my new
auction house relay team (AHRT) and see if I could bring a wand back from that cesspool of a Horde homeland they call Orgrimarr. Since I already had a spy planted in the Orgrimarr auction house, it was a simple of matter of subtle espionage in trying to acquire a shiny new wand. (note - I altered my name to protect my spies identity)
[Alliance Spy]: begging for a [Lesser Magic Wand] for my main. I swear I'm not an Alliance spy. Why would you even think that. PST
The bait was set. Now it was time to see if an unsuspecting Horde would answer the call. Sure enough a Horde took the bait a few seconds later.
[Alynis] whispers: [Lesser Magic Wand]
To [Alynis]: I need on for my new warlock. I got nothing but gratitude
[Alynis] whispers: lol are you lvl 5
Uh oh, I think he suspects a trap. Time to lay on the espionage skills
To [Alynis]: no this is just my gold mule. its for my warlock
To [Alynis]: at the bank near the AH
Sometime while I was waiting, a Troll that smelled like wet feet and halibut asked me to sign his guild charter. Not wanting to blow my cover, I signed it for him. I also needed him to get away from me. Stink!
Anyhoots, a minute later my prey arrived with a brand new wand.
It smells funny, but I got the goods. Now to get it to my relay in one piece. Once again, my crazy spy training took over as I made my way through a sea of stinky death and destruction.
Smooth as butter. They bought it hook, line, and sinker. You can tell from their response.
Mission accomplished! AHRT worked like a champ and I'm now the proud owner of a new magic wand, that I have almost out leveled. But hey, it's all mine.
I learned quite a bit about the Horde opposition during my stay with them. For one, they need to bathe more. For two, they have an ingrained hatred of the Alliance and are willing to help each other out in order to destroy us. It's a common bond of brotherhood forged by hatred. Weird, I know.
