I hang left, but I don’t believe we’re talking about the same thing….Seriously, I don’t believe I RUN/WALK left or right habitually. I can confirm that I jump when running out of bad stuff ala puggingpally.

This is a rough one. For the most part I’m pretty good at being fluid, moving where I feel is best, I will usually tend to stick left, but mostly because I’ve always been a fan of ‘spread out’ and most players -seem- to go right.

As for getting characters confused, with 7 80′s now, 5 different classes, I’m pretty good at not mixing them up, though it does happen occasionally. Take for example last week:

Well last wek I was having a really bad day, a fever of 104, and all around terrible mood, so I tanked pugs on my bear, my bear is such a beautiful way to release frustrations, I then hopped onto my priest for a quick random for frost badgers before going back to bear. Well, I logged in, queued, waited 18 years while looking up some druid stuff, queue thing pops up, and I’m in autopilot, I charge in and swipe. my giant AGGRO thing in the middle disappears I run to the next group and swipe, almost immediately gianta ggro thing goes away, I run to the next group and swipe thinking ‘wow this is crazy dps’ finally teh tank goes ‘if you pull one more time I am waiting till I can kick you’ I stop……and realize I’m on my priest and the tank has just been pulling the aggro -off- me and he’s now sitting back there with 3 groups. I apologize profusely and behave the rest of the run.

My main is a tree with an 80 mage alt and I have tried to blink on the tree, or shift into a form on my mage, more times than I care to think of. It got so bad I had to rebind several keys so there would be no overlap between the two characters :-p

I jump up and down when I’m trying to run out of bad stuff on the ground, so that today my husband yelled “FAT BOOMKIN JUMPING!” when we were fighting Putricide and I was trying to get out of the malleable goo. I don’t know why, maybe it’s Mario syndrome, it makes me FEEL like I’m going to have more of a chance to get out of it on time.

I also try to blink when I am a druid, but I’ve keybound my cat/dash macro to the same key so that’s usually not disastrous so much as it is, “Oh, I am a cat now.”

50 odd kills of ony in classic. Allways in Group 1(front left) in tank group to supply auras, another 20 odd kills of Gruul where again the same applied probably did’nt help either.

Guess what if I zone into any single boss room, I am heading for the left no matter what.

I’m not consistent, but in D&D, and in single player RPGs, I will tend to go either all left or all right.

Whimsy.

My biggest thing is that I don’t HAVE an oh shit button.

We’ve a rule for pen and paper games on how to clear every room in the dungeon – “follow the left hand wall”. Almost every map will allow you to do this and get to all the areas eventually.

I still do it in games too, it just makes it so much easier to play, and also find your way back.

Even groups to the right, odd groups to the left!
