I want my MGT.

In Uncategorized on August 2, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Like most of you I did my time grinding Shattered Sun Offensive reputation. It isn’t much fun for a protection warrior, even in DPS gear. I heard that if you are really leet you’d just run Magister’s Terrace over and over again for reputation, ideally on heroic mode for the extra reputation, badges, and loot. So I wrote a little parody about it. Here’s a link to the video for the original song. This isn’t my first Dire Straits song parody.

Badges for Nothing

Now look at them raiders
That’s the way you do it
You get your rep running MGT
That ain’t grinding
That’s the way you do it
Badges for nothin and the loot’s for free
Now that ain’t grinding
That’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys are leet
Maybe get an upgrade for your mainhand weapon
Maybe get an upgrade for your feet

We gotta kill these Dawnblade Blood Elfs
Grinding nagas to get their keys
We gotta bomb these Legion forces
We gotta bomb for these NPCs

See the hardcore raider with the epics and the title
Yeah buddy, he runs for fun
That hardcore raider got his own hawkstrider
That hardcore raider he’s “…of the Shattered Sun”

We gotta kill these Dawnblade Blood Elfs
Grinding nagas to get their keys
We gotta bomb the Legion forces
We gotta bomb for these NPCs

I shoulda learned to make mooncloth
I shoulda learned how to mine some rocks
Look at that healer, she’s got it going in the portal
Man we could have some HoTs
And I’m out here…what’s that? Karazhan raiding?
But I’m out killing naga and freeing murloc slaves
Oh that ain’t grinding
That’s the way you do it
Get your badges for nothing and the loot’s for free

We gotta kill these Dawnblade Blood Elfs
Grinding nags to get their keys
We gotta bomb the Legion forces
We gotta bomb for these NPCs

Now that ain’t grinding
You get your rep running MGT
That ain’t grinding
That’s the way you do it
Badges for nothin and the loot’s for free
