Once you hit 70 in World of Warcraft the game changes. What was once a game of wonderous variety becomes one of grinding...grinding faction, grinding pvp, grinding instances to get drops...grinding, grinding, grinding. You earn rewards by doing tedious amounts of work. This picture was taken while I was grinding reputation. The mission: fly around this tree village until you spot a prisoner, free them, and escort them to the ground killing everything you see. You can do this mission once a day, and within seconds of you doing it, he will spawn in a cage somewhere else so the mission can be done by others. Exciting, right? Anyways, the mission can't be done until you are 70, and since it is one of very few repeatable missions to grind reputation with the Skyguard, everyone does it everyday. Lines form at the spawn points on busy days.
Anyways, I had been flying around doing a related mission when I saw the prisoner and no one around. I popped down, cleared the area, and was about to start when this guy hovered for a second nearby. I started to send a tell asking if he wanted to join (the quest can be done as a group quest), but he flew away so I erased my message and started the escort. A couple of minutes later, he flew back and, well, this is the dialogue. It was not as if I had swooped in at the last second before he started and took it, but you would never know by the way he acted. The last line is where I finished it.
