Its not fun collecting them anymore :\

I see, but sometimes with a hobby it's only a lull into the collecting until you want to do it again. Perhaps save them for a while longer, just to make sure and that way you don't regret getting rid of any that were hard to come by.

Well, day 1 of the convention was fun. I got over my convention anxiety (since this was my first one) pretty quick. They didn't have any signs...so while I factually knew I was in the correct place, I had NO IDEA where to go. All I had to do was follow the big bearded dude dressed as Fluttershy (wings and all) to find the check in area, lol. This is a much smaller con than bronycon (900-1200 people max, only around 30 vendor tables). I didn't really find anything to buy, so my wallet is safe for the time being. I still think the funniest thing I saw there (besides the big bearded dude dressed as Fluttershy), was another dude dressed as a Jedi. Robes, light saber, and all. Carrying a Tempest plushie on his shoulder. There were also absolutely ZERO kids there, I didn't see anyone that looked under 20. Sadly, most of the neat activities seemed to be later in the evening or at night, so I couldn't go (I have to work tomorrow, and can't go back until after 4pm on Sunday when I get off work). I'll get to see the closing ceremonies and take part in the final raffle at least.

I'm hoping to go to Bronycon next year...shouldn't be too much of a problem. I view this con as me dipping my toes into the water, before jumping into the deep end of the pool (Bronycon).

900 people is still about 890 more people than needed to start giving me anxiety.

Eh, that's not fair. I think I'd be ok in a crowd of like-minded people, but when I'm at work and there's a lot of customers on my aisle, or I'm at my brother's house and he's got a few people over, then it comes.

Sounds like you had some fun, glad to hear it.

It wasn't Sylvanas. Fake News. Make Azeroth Great Again!

And somehow my step-brother only got 20 hours community service with a felony charge for that crack he bought, but they haven't noticed the probation violation yet which might land him in jail.

Still fucking stupid that criminals get off scott free like this.

BFA looks like it will be a good expansion, but I don't think I'm coming back. I just can't waste that much time on games anymore.

BFA is pulling me back in mostly because of the story, I really want to know what happens with this one.

[BloodyAngel12]

BFA is calling me back too.

Don't get me wrong. I want to see where the story goes. And I'll follow it. But I can do that with Youtube videos, rather than throwing huge numbers of hours playing a game.

But where is the fun in that?

And that's understandable. I haven't really been playing since October, after my guild of 9 years disbanded, but with the game incoming and there most likely being less constant stuff that needs to be done compared to Legion I think it's time to go back.

wait what? BFA looks awful. Aside from World PvP Fanatics most people i've seen agree that it will be filler material at best

for me it's the opposite.. first time in 12 years of playing that i don't feel any drive to continue playing

Can you still get the argus heroic kill quest mount?

How much are they charging for a boost for it?

For real money I paid $15, only because that's about what I think mounts are worth for, but I didn't go shopping much for it.
