THIS IS A PART OF A GAMEMASTERS JOB.
Why doesn't people understand this? It's a VIDEOGAME not a supermarket where you just have to point to where the butter is and then be done with it.

Wow, just wow. you people need a dose of fun in your life.
Customer Service is a very VERY stressful job, you can never win, you are always wrong, and you are every bad name/word in the book.
To take 5 minutes to respond to a joke question and relax could be a life saver, Go to a deparment story and hangout in the return section to see how much shit those people have to take everyday and compare it to the millions of tickets GMs get to see why questions like this is a needed break.
"Humility defeats pride, Master Yang has preached. Pride defeats man"
Problem isn't the GM. Problem is the OP.
There's nothing wrong with GMs having fun. The GM who answered my very first ticket turned me into a ninja. It was before I knew how to do that myself and so it was the coolest thing ever.
However, in this instance, the OP is wasting the GM's time with a question he knows is not legitimate. Nothing wrong with GMs having fun. There is definitely something wrong with people intentionally distracting them from their jobs though.
love it when take the time to answer such questions
All pointless questions make GM waste time, yes.
Workers find their happiness around them, you dont dictate how they should have that happiness.
I only made one ticket about people exploiting the game, i did some right click report ones that i dont count as tickets.
I dont report botters because i have no way to make sure it is one and i dont want to waste people's time in a ban that they dont deserve.
There are many cons to authenticators, they should not be a requirement. Blizzard security outside authenticators has improved lately anyway.
The OP ticket was irresponsible, and he is abusing the ticket system for personal joy, he is not better than a chat spammer, a corpse camper or a griefer of any kind.

I have no problem with the GM. The GM did nothing wrong, he replied to a ticket. The one that did something wrong was the one opening the pointless stupid ticket in the first place.

If your fun comes at the expense of someone else real problems not being attended, then yes, i will attack your fun.
I am tired of selfish people that think their enjoyment is above everything.
At their job? I never said the GM did wrong in replying, i even said that he did the right thing atrep´lying.
You should read the posts before replying. I have no issue whatsoever with the GM, the GM did nothing wrong, he provided a clever answer to a ticket.
The one doing the wrong here is the OP making the useless, stupid, pointless ticket in the first place.
People who make tickets like the OP are usually newer to the game, and wonder about certain things and may not know any better way to find out the answers to their questions. I am an old veteran, and I certainly want to foster a more friendly attitude towards these people who may still have curiousities about the game and for them WoW may still have a certain newness to it.
So I say, keep asking your questions. When I meet people in game with a newer and fresher perspective, it can often be refreshing to my own perspective. Takes a little bit of the jaded-ness away and makes me smile a bit.
A non-serious answer to a non-serious question. Which probably took 2 minutes to type.
I always ask for a GM joke when i am done with them, they have a whole set of them, this is my favorite "why don't warriors enchant their weapons with int? - because they don't want their weapon to be smarter then they are!"
If you don't believe me, next time you open a ticket, when they Finnish and say "is there anything else i can help you with today?" Respond with " can i have a famous GM joke please?". they never say no
If i was the GM and i saw that useless piece of garbage ticket, i would permaban you for wasting my time that i couldve used to help actual people in need.

I'm the guy who had to wait 4 days for a Gm to fix a bug that prevented me from logging onto my main, which for some reason could not log out. When i closed wow i could login with another character and i could see my main standing there.
And i had to wait 4 days to get it fixed, thanks in part to cunts like the OP flooding the ticket system with inane bullshit.
Thats who.
Now piss off and go smoke some weed you fuckin trashbag.
Mod Edit: No need for insults.

There are official forums for that.
I dont think the OP is a new player seeking info, its just a bored guy abusing a system for his own enjoyment.

For the tenth time i think, the GM is cool, the GM reply was perfect, the GM did nothing wrong.
The one that did something wrong is the OP by opening the pointless ticket in the first place.
Aawww, poor you and your first world problems. Ever thought that the GM saw your ticket and wasn't bothered with the same repetitive bullsh*t at that moment, and he just skipped your ticket for later answering? Can't blame him, customer support is one of the most undervalued jobs ever. I can't believe how narrow minded some people are that they start raging over non-game issue tickets. Grow some patience.
To OP and all you other worthless scrubs, who waste GM's time on stuff like this. I sincerely hope the worst happens to your accounts.
Think about it for a sec. If just 1% of all of us, thinks its innocent to spam shit like this to GM's and just 1% of us makes a pathetic ticket like that every month, that perhaps take just 5 mins to read and reply to. Thats 100.000 tickets a month or about 8.500 hours used. Lets now say art/content developers gets maybe 3-4 times the pay and then we're down to 10 fulltime content developers, working 10 hours a day, 20 days a month. What if its 2,3 or 5%?? So the next time youre about to open i new shitty ticket, so you and only you can sit and giggle about the answer for a few minutes, think about if its worth it.
Here are some numbers Blizzard gave us in 2009.
Now some support is always needed for the really serious cases (not my achievement is bugged or that dungeon boss i didnt need loot from, couldnt be looted bla bla). But just imagine what kinda game we could have if Blizz didnt feel the need to serve scrubs like OP and the rest of you and they could move the human resource part to development.Team size at Blizzard

While that GM's response was cute, my personal belief is that such playful musings might be better suited for blizzard Forums. That way, if you get a Blue response, it will pop up on the Blue Tracker and everyone can get their /chuckle.
However, I don't understand all of the vitriol in this thread. I seriously doubt this ticket is the reason your character was stuck an extra 5min because it fell through the map in a BG.
Which doesn't happen. Hell, if anything it's perhaps a couple thousand people who even think of making a ticket like that and even then I highly doubt they'd post one every month.
Seriously people, there's so much overreacting in this thread it's quite sickening.
And again! It's highly probable that a GM would answer this ticket during their spare time. Think of them what you may, they're generally quite professional folks (at least from my experience).
AND AGAIN! GMs often work on several tickets at the same time. This means that again claims of tickets spamming the queue and holding back others are grossly exaggerated.
