What I Would Like to See From the Roleplaying Community

A lot of roleplayers have this automatic sense of defeat about them. Nothing is within their power to fix, or if it is, there’s no point in doing it. Why should they report people that break the rules? It could cause trouble, create fights, fracture the community!

You know what? So does bitching without action. So does being a dick to people without real cause. So does being a permanent Negative Ned or Nancy. So does the constant complaint that Roleplay is dead, woe is us, let’s all cry for the good ol’ days.

My fellow Roleplayers, grow some fucking spines. Instead of bitching about the state of RP, do something. Be in-character wherever you go. Roleplay with everybody you meet, whether it’s in instances, battlegrounds, at the auction house, while negotiating for various trade goods – even the most mundane thing, do it in-character. Start running events! Start posting roleplay threads to your realm’s or community’s forums! Start dragging your guild or friends into the cities and roleplaying in public!

Don’t just sit there and bitch about how you think Roleplay is dead, how there’s no roleplay out in the world of Warcraft and blah blah blah, wah wah wah, soooooob. For fuck’s sake, pull your heads out of your asses and take action.

Report griefers. Report the textspeak kids that are yelling about how gay some dude named Tacobull is. Inform people that they are on a roleplay realm and that there is a specific ruleset that applies. They rolled on a roleplaying realm, it’s our sandbox, they have to play by Blizzard’s rules, too.

What does this mean for non-roleplayers?

It means that, really, not much will change. Your /guild, custom and /whisper channels are still yours to do whatever you like with, and you can get away with being OOC in /say and /yell if you’re sneaky about it. “lol im guna get so wasted 2nite!!! xDDD” becomes “Haha, I’m so getting wasted tonight”. Of course, the character could also be based upon you.

If you’re going to roll on a roleplay realm, be prepared to follow Blizzard’s roleplaying guidelines. That’s it. No ifs, ands or buts – it’s official as per Blizzard.

Overall, Roleplaying Community, I’d like to see you stand up for yourself. I’d like to see you do less complaining and more acting. This is going to be fucking hilarious coming out of me, but I’d like to see less petty bullshit and more working together.

If Matojo can set up the occasional roleplaying event and show up to a weekly tavern every so often that’s held by a guild that dislikes her (and that she doesn’t particularly like, either), other roleplayers (that don’t hold the “OMG RP IZ DED” opinion) can put in a little effort, too.

Why I’m Opting In to RealID

First thing’s first: This is going to be rambly. I forgot my anti depressants at my parents’ house and am rather light-headed and nonsensical already – everybody’s affected differently. If I piss someone off, so be it.

So, there’s a lot of concern about privacy regarding RealID. I think y’all ought to read this post before continuing the incoherent rage and whining, first off, and secondly, I need y’all to think about social media.

If you’re signed on to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or any number of other social networking sites, your privacy is already out the window. Even if you’re careful about what you post. If you order pizza, your information is already out there. If you rent movies from your local grocery store, there’s another batch of people with your information. If you run your own website, finding out about you is as simple as doing a WHOIS of your domain (if you didn’t put your domain under a pseudonym or something).

Privacy on the internet is a myth. If you put information out there, you cannot take it back. No matter how paranoid you are, someone, some company, somewhere, has something on you.

Scary, huh?

If someone wants to find something out about you and they know what tools they need to do so, they can. If you race-changed and name-changed and then server-transferred a character to get away from someone, they can figure out where you went (there are WoW detective sites that actually track transfers and race changes). Pre-RealID WoW is no more private than post-RealID WoW.

I will be opting in to RealID because a) Most people already know my real name by now (Parasite Eve, sets people on fire, sings, there you go), b) I’m not afraid to tell people “Not right now, I’m busy”, c) I’m not afraid to simply not accept friend requests from people I don’t like.

If people take my behaviour personally, that’s their problem, not mine. I already have someone taking my snarkiness as a personal affront whenever it’s her hubby (who, by the by, can defend himself he’s an adult for fuck’s sake) that’s snarked after he acts like a fuckwad (hey, he’s a dick to other people sometimes, too, I figure he’s earned it). The best part is that afterward he doesn’t take it personally. Why should he? Why should anybody?

If I don’t want to spend time with you, I’ll tell you. If I want to be left alone, I’ll tell you. If I don’t want you knowing where my characters are at all times, you’ll know. Do I give a fuck if you know my e-mail address? No. I use the same e-mail address for everything. I don’t have the attention span to have a different fucking e-mail address for each little thing that I do.

And chances are, if I let you refer to me by my first name, I’ll happily let you stalk add me (that means you, people with my cell phone number).

You have more power with this thing than you think you do, but if your freak-out is lack of privacy, darlings? You’re on the internet. You’re already without privacy.

I hope Blizzard’s enjoying my chat records~

Matojo’s Adventures in DDO

So, while I wait to get my account back, I’ve been poking at a game I’ve been wanting to try for a while – Dungeons and Dragons Online.

The gameplay is interesting and some aspects are rather clunky compared to WoW, but it’s enough to keep me coming back. I mean, I’ve wanted more D&D experience for a while and since I can’t get into tabletop around here, I figured, why not? Maybe I’ll have to check out some of the other single player games, too (the Forgotten Realms versions, I guess that’s all that’s out there?).

For a newbie like me, working with the targeting system is a little unwieldy. It does operate on D&D rules and requires more movement to be effective than what WoW does. The skill/feat system is different, too, with some classes not having much in terms of buttons they can hit until much later in the game.

I have mixed feelings on the DDO Store that mainly stem from the idea of how difficult the information is to even find at first. Prices aren’t too bad for store points, but I dont’ know how earning them via the Favour system compares yet so I can’t comment that way. I have no problem paying for some game features (like Drow and Warforged).

My suggestions to anybody that tries to pick up the game are: Pay attention to tooltips, read the tooltips on your character sheet, pick up a little D&D info before you start and adjust the keyboard turning speed/mouse look speed before going too far – the starting values make movement slow, unwieldy and almost made me drop the game. Also? Don’t try to play the game in windowed mode – DDO’s windowed mode is horrible.

Also, Jesus Jumping Murphy do not start with a bard.

I’m not used to mob killing not contributing to experience, either, so THAT is a bizarre thing for me.

At the moment I’m running a Wizard (Tuhina Dawngarde), Rogue (Kerriganne Shadowfoot), Fighter (Erbin Warglaive), Paladin (Greenshanks) and Cleric (I forget, no seriously). I don’t have much rogue, paladin or cleric experience but I am a big fan of the wizard and fighter’s pewpew.

TL;DR – DDO, though clunky and it feels more like a single-player dungeon crawl than an MMO, is still interesting enough to keep my attention while I wait for my WoW account to come back. I MISS MY HARBIES. ;_;

The Druid, the RNG and the Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal

My Druid, Varkev, hit 80 on… Wednesday night, I think. Two respecs of his Resto tree and 3k gold down the tubes later, his resto gear was better than his feral gear and I decided to attempt healing a regular. That went well (despite my lack of trinket and several greens), then I found Je’Tze’s Bell on the Auction House for 750g, quickly nabbed the rest of the money I needed for that, aaand… Varkev had his trinket slots filled. I had enough emblems from my daily regulars during the leveling phase that I was able to afford an Idol of Flaring Growth, then a handful of heroics later, The Egg of Mortal Essence to replace that pesky green trinket.

I was shoved into Heroic ToC, flailing and cursing, only to find that I managed it pretty well and walked away with several delicious drops. Oh, and a feral helmet.

Though, I’m thinking I’ll drop the feral off-spec and go Resto/Boomkin.

Needless to say, I was pretty damned proud of my little druid once all was said and done. I logged off feeling damned good about the bugger.

Then I signed into my e-mail this morning to see a ‘password reset’ notice from Blizzard and I knew exactly what was going on.

To be honest, I figured I’d be hacked eventually. I didn’t get an authenticator ’cause I a) just didn’t care and b) didn’t’ want to spend the money. I’d also lose my brain if it wasn’t in my skull, so the chances of it going missing are pretty high. However, I do know what got me – the flash vulnerability from last week. If I had known about it last week, however, I would have updated ASAP.

So, totally my own fault.

The great part is that the hackers wouldn’t have been able to get much worth out of my accounts because, um, I didn’t really have much left over from enchanting and gemming Varkev’s new gear, ’cause I was lazy and hadn’t been working very hard to make more money. They stripped my 80s, but none of my alts that were below 80 and not my hunter.

Derp Derp.

Aw well, I think that’s Djehuty telling me to take a break.

Thanks to Khydann for the screenies of my characters popping in and out of /tbdf, and for reporting the accounts – also, for letting me know and confirming my suspicions. ♥

A Taste, Just a Taste!

Last night, my friend Roshanar the Original Tauren Pally (on his Blood Elf paladin, mind) put out the call for bodies for the raid weekly, Razorscale.

Twenty-five man Razorscale.

It would be with Bad Moon Rising’s GROWL raid group, which includes Tchann and some other Harbingers and random people from the Roleplay community. I reluctantly offered my undergeared self in Mage form, warning that I wasn’t geared for 25-mans. “That’s okay!” I was told, as everyone else was overgeared anyway. So, I hopped to Kombeya and headed out.

It was my first time gunning for a Demolisher, and it was nice to have more to do than just shoot boxes, towers and giants. I kinda liked the whole hooking fuel thing, and Flame Leviathan dropped very quickly. I love watching motorcycles zoom about, too. Then, we gathered together to face Razorscale. Some in-character dialogue was exchanged, I actually remembered to use Focus Magic on somebody (another mage), and I blizzarded dwarves and pewpewed the dragon like I was supposed to (and I didn’t die in fire!).

In the end, I got a new hat. Kombeya has two blues left before she’s clad entirely in purples!

Really, the whole thing was easier than I thought it would be. BMR’s raid leader was very clear, everybody was really nice (and there was no drama from the one crazy person in raid) and overall it was a pleasant experience, even if I was a bit shy about taking any loot. xD

If I can get into the occasional raid for shiggles, awesome. It’s still not going to be my focus, but poking at this content every so often with people that are patient and in it for the fun, not progression, has been great. Unfortunately there’s the issue of scheduling.

This also leads me to consider my gearing options. Right now, my 80s are Matojo (Warrior), Bellerona (Warlock), Kombeya (Mage), Kinuka (Hunter), Dybo (Rogue), Gahiji (Death Knight) and Grindal (Priest). I most enjoy DPSing as a Warlock and Death Knight (though watching mage crits is about as thrilling as warlock crits), and then I have the Warrior for tanking and Priest for healing (eventually I’ll have a Druid and Shaman).

For PuGs, my poor priest needs more regen and stronger bubbles. Matojo just needs to keep generating insane rage and more threat. The other two? DAMAGE DAMAGE DAMAGE.

I think I’m on the road to  going back to gearing my toons again.

Being Different Ain’t Bad If You’re Not An Idiot

Every time I read comments on WoW.com’s Resto Shaman column (I would help the author hide a body, so if that doesn’t tell you my opinion on him, you’re fucking dense) I’m reminded that I wanted to write this particular article.

I strongly believe that, though there are Things We Should Not Do Because They Are Not Beneficial (e.g. stacking spirit as a Shaman) and there are Things That Have Been Proven To Work Very Well And Are Optimal, there’s also the path of slightly more resistance – the Things That Work, Are Not Optimal, But Can Make A Difference In The Hands Of The Right Player (or: TTWANObCMaDitRP). So that’s the “Should Nots”, “Should Dos” and “Can Dos”.

The “Should Nots”, a.k.a. the WTF-U-Doin’s, are things that have been proven to be lacking in effectiveness or that show a lack of understanding of one’s class and game mechanics. They are the things that leave most people shaking their heads, such as the priests that skip Meditation but gem for MP5 (you say you aren’t having mana issues, but you… gem as if you’re having mana issues and skip the talent that can make a difference), or the dual-wielding Death Knights that do not take the Dual Wield improvements available in the Frost tree. The people who make these decisions consistently perform below average in every situation.

The “Should Dos”, the “Tried and Trues” and the “Cookie-Cutters” are things that have been tested to death and proven to be effective. Certain specs that perform very well, stat weights that are considered the best for particular classes/specs/roles, boss strategies that are ideal. In this category are raid tanks that stack stamina, for example, or Resto shamans that favour haste.

The “Can Dos”, the “Red-Headed Stepchildren”, the “Ugly Ducklings”, these are the stats, specs and strategies that people know work for certain situations but are often derided for not being the norm. They’re the non-ICC tanks that look for avoidance stats over stamina, the Shamans that hunt for crit and spellpower, the Death Knight tank that switches a few points around to fit their style that may seem a little odd but turn out to be highly beneficial (Blood tanks nabbing all the oh shit buttons, maybe). They may not be what’s recommended by Elitist Jerks, but they work despite this – maybe in spite of it. They seem to succeed purely to watch the elitist types nerdrage.

I sincerely believe that, in WoW, we should do what we find fun. For some, it’s min-maxing. For others, RP. Some like to PvP. Others like a little of everything – nothing is exclusive. There are several of us that like to try new things, that realize that if an encounter was only meant to be beaten one way and one way only, no other methods would work.

You can fight Ingvar in his first phase with him facing toward the party, heal through all the AoE damage and succeed. You can also turn him away from the party, move when he’s about to do his thing, and succeed with less hardship. If you like, you can play Ghoul Rhoulette and have the Token Death Knight summon their Ghoul Posse – and still manage to clear.

There’s more than one way to succeed and to get what you want out of whatever you’re doing.

With that said, this isn’t a way to defend crappy specs or gear choices. “This is my play style” does not work when you are talking about a strength-stacking hunter or a death knight that wears Spellpower plate. This does not give one license to defend their 71 points in one tree, even, because that style of spec is highly ineffective (Blizzard has stated as much before, they built the trees the way they did to encourage people to select skills from multiple skill sets). It’s one thing to spec or gear, gem or enchant in a way that deviates slightly from the norm but still uses stats and talents that are beneficial to the class, and another to just do what one wants willy-nilly with no reasoning whatsoever to back it up.

In summary: Just because Elitist Jerks doesn’t spout the virtues of a particular stat weight, spec, strategy or play style (that has proven to work and, in the case of stats, actually benefits the class) doesn’t mean it’s utter shit. EJ is not the be all and end all of everything WoW.

Tanking: More Than Just Having Things Hit You OR If You Don’t Know Shit, STOP TALKING

“Okay fine, I admit it, I don’t know anything about tanking.”
“Now you get it!”

Yesterday I was home from work. I wasn’t feeling very well, in part due to drama from the night before (where I got to play moderator again – not something I wanted to do, but I was the only one around at the time that could) but mostly because my body has decided to be a jerk lately (no, it’s not my time of month, thanks for asking). The topic of Death Knight Tanking came up, and guys, I totally learned something.

I’ve had it wrong all along!

Frost? Totally has defense-boosting talents that make it the tank spec and it is not in the party’s best interests for the tank to use their survival-related cooldowns. You’re wasting runes on Vampiric Blood, Rune Tap and other related skills!

Well, consider me schooled.

Gawsh, to think I had it wrong all this time. It’s amazing my party didn’t die with my thoughtless use of these health-boosting, survival-based talents. Why, the loss of threat generation must have nearly wiped us countless times!

Okay, serious business time. Let me put this in bold type for you:

Tanking is not just about pissing off monsters.

Tanking is not just about pissing off monsters.

Tanking is not just about pissing off monsters.

Is that clear?

Okay, good.

What is your job as a tank?

1. Out-threat your DPS and healer.
2. Keep yourself alive.
3. Keep your party alive.

What does this mean?

As a tank, you have to be the one and only thing the mobs concentrate on. They have to hate you. On top of that, you have several skills, several cooldowns, devoted to one of the following:

• Temporary total health boost
• Temporary damage reduction
• Instant % health recovery
• Temporary armor or avoidance boost

It is your job to use them, to love them and to love your healer by loving those skills. By doing everything in your power to help your healer keep you alive, you save your party from death.

But Matojo, it’s the healer’s job to keep me alive!

It’s also the healer’s job to keep him/herself and three other people from death.

Believe it or not, running instances and raiding are about teamwork. DPS prevent nasties from reaching healers or from hitting the boss and causing them to heal back to full, or they interrupt casts, or they aid in adding to your, the tank’s, threat – some provide buffs. Healers keep the party alive and provide buffs. Tanks sometimes provide buffs and distract mobs. The other part of the teamwork scene, for the tanks, is helping to make things easier for the healer which, in turn, helps make their mana pools last longer. No mana, no heals, and if you’re being wailed on like whoa and not doing anything about it, that mana isn’t going to last long.

Those cooldowns help make you last longer in battle, which helps your healer last longer, and helps keep your party alive.

But Matojo! I waste valuable runes/rage/mana on those cooldowns! I need those resources for threat!

As a Death Knight, by the time I’ve started my diseases, dropped Death and Decay and had some crits from Howling Blast/Icy Touch/Frost Strike, I’m generating well over 40k threat per second. On longer fights, it’s more. This is usually at least 38k or more threat per second above my DPSers.

The fact is, if you cannot spare a cooldown to save your ass for fear of losing threat, there is something wrong with what you are doing. It could be your rotation. It could be your gear. It could be your spec (shitty specs do equal shitty threat, but shitty specs are also the product of shitty players and therefore point to more problems). You could be in the wrong presence, stance or you forgot righteous fury again (Paladins? As long as RF is up, you sneeze and LO! there is threat).

The Teal Deer: One, tanking is not just about holding threat, it’s also about using all the tools that are available to you to succeed. Two, if you spec like this to tank* it’s obvious you have not done any research on tanking as your particular class/spec – so please, stop acting like you know what you’re on about.

* Before anyone brings up Gahiji’s current blood spec, yes, I know it’s not optimal for group tanking. It’s meant for soloing instances and level 60 raids, and it’s in the process of being tweaked. If it’s successful, you lot will be the second to know!

Matojo Still Thinks It’s Hip to be Square (Weekly Rambling)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmyeah.

I’m going to see Huey Lewis and the News in New York state on July 9, which means the potential for meeting one of my fellow WoW bloggers and which also means trying to figure out this passport and hotel thing. Do I stay in Niagara Falls NY, Ontario, or retreat to Buffalo? Decisions, decisions. Yes, I’m driving. Yes, I’m taking my laptop. No, the cat stays at home.

Sorry, Simon.

In WoW I am in one of those spots where I’m not quite sure of my goals, I’m just coasting. I’ve been slowly getting back into public RP and RPing a little more than I was, which is always a good thing. I have found a priest that makes me think I’m actually a good priest (her spec is a clusterfuck and she gems for MP5) and I successfully healed the Hateful Strike tank on Patchwerk – but it’s still Patchwerk. I know I can heal parts of Naxx, however, because I have healed through Ranged Horseman Duty before. That was interesting and occasionally panic-inducing because I have a hard time remembering to heal myself.

Because paying attention to your own health bar is hard.

What, it is.

I don’t really consider tanking Patchwerk to be an indication of one’s tanking prowess. I mean, it’s one mob with no tricks, sorta akin to tanking most heroic bosses. I bet I could do it, even, and I’m not particularly awesome (though Gahiji, with buffs, is up to 35kish HP). Yes, yes, thank you friends and guildies, I know you think I am. I really need to get back into tanking, though, and become awesome so I can put some of these “look at me I am amaaazing” people in their places.

Reading somebody saying they can’t believe there are tanks that are better than them when there… is nothing particularly special about them is rather, um, fascinating. Really. Don’t get a big head about being a tank, please, you make the rest of us look bad when you do that. Especially when I vaguely remember my mage’s frost spec nearly overtaking at least one of these big-headed tanks on the threat meters.

A frost mage should not have been doing that before the slight buffs that they received, thank you. No. Really.

Anyway, I race-changed my Orc Death Knight to a Blood Elf Death Knight and the other BE DK into a Tauren Male, who, ICly, sounds a lot like this guy in my head. This doesn’t fit a Tauren, thanks muses, it really doesn’t.  At first I thought the Tauren Warrior that accompanies this dude sounded like Abby from NCIS, but now I’m not so sure. Too cranky. Then again, I’d be cranky if I had to finish off my mentor after a bad fight in the Plaguelands, too. The weekend was spent leveling this new Tauren’s skinning and mining which meant bashing my head against the living room wall until I could no longer feel anything.

I’ve also found that I’d love to play Afsan, the character that appeared in Taashiki’s story, but I don’t want to start yet another hunter. Ojore, my warrior, is pretty… well, I think I only hold onto him because I feel sorry for him. That’s about it. The character doesn’t have much going for him unless I put him into the Coldblood Blitz, where he’d at least have people he could fight for. The thought of Kinuka being a warrior is pretty interesting, though (bouncebounce)… thankfully, her adoration for her Devilsaur overrides any desire for Kinuka to become a warrior. Thus, the alt stable stops shifting…

… For now.

Varkev is going after The Seeker as a title. Just 2500 quests to go!

Cranky Matojo is Cranky

Normally I am pretty patient with people (shut up, Kaphik) and willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Well, people that don’t spout hate language/misogyny, gem for mp5 and/or wander through life with their head lodged firmly up their arse.

Oh, wait.

My guild has picked up somebody that takes everything that I hate about wow_ladies and sticks it into a single, annoying human being. Making a big deal of being female? Check. Misogyny and misandry? Check.  Insistence on hand-holding when attempting to figure out a new spec (right down to asking what each and every talent does)? Yep. Constantly asking for help? Yeeeah.

Fuck me with a rusty pike.

Maybe I have been spoiled by my guild’s relative sanity and its female population’s lack of the stereotypical and idiotic. I mean, I rarely complain about the guild and I haven’t had such an issue with a guild member in a very long time, so this must be A Big Deal.

I knew this person was a bad fit when their response to a tale about two Blood Elf priests being jackasses in a pug was, “Ooooh, gai boiz, how CUTE!”

That’s right, folks. All Blood Elves are gay males. Let’s forget that the characters were later mentioned as being female – I bet that suddenly stopped being cute for that person. Lesbians, after all, aren’t nearly as adorable as gay dudes, right?

I just … whatisthisIdon’teven. For the second time in what, three years, I’m going to have to add a Harbinger to my ignore list.

I have seriously never seen the stereotypical gamer grrrl outside of wow_ladies and I don’t like this and I want them to go away. Make it stooooooop.

In other news, apparently girls ask a lot of questions and are bad at WoW. DID YOU HEAR THAT, MERI, WE ARE BAD AT WOW AND WE ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS. HOW DO I MINE FOR FISH, GUYS.

THE HATRED OF A THOUSAND RAGING NERDS

HEY. HEY HATERS. HEY.

There has been a case, on my server, of some Orc players taking every possible opportunity to talk about how they hate Blood Elves and wish they weren’t part of the Horde, as well as sharing their opinion that the wee elves should be removed from the game.

For the record, I think the guys that have been spewing this shit are fucking idiots.

Hatred of a particular race or faction on the part of the player just doesn’t make any fucking sense – and neither does judging a player based upon what they play.

It’s to the point where I am, unfortunately, beginning to wonder what the correlation between playing an Orc and being an unpleasant asshole actually is, then I stop and realize that isn’t fair to the cool people that I know that occasionally play Orcs (hell, even I have one – Mikome has just barely dodged the chopping block). Frankly, I’m a little embarrassed by the jerks on behalf of the non-jerks.

I do not understand people that claim to hate any particular race in a game, or any particular faction. Did Blood Elves kill your father? Did the Alliance take your lunch money? I mean, I understand why characters may hate on elves – but their players? Is it a case of being unable to separate the self from the toon?

I think it’s a case of Nerd Rage or something.

Nobody has to like everything – I don’t like human dudes, have you seen their fucking upper lip when they don’t have facial hair? – but it really isn’t logical to hate on pixels or the people that play them. “I don’t like Night Elves” is fine. “I hate Night Elves and anybody that plays one is [Insert Insult Here]” is not, and anybody that honestly believes that is a fuckwad.

Playing a particular race or faction does not make anyone inferior.

Read that line. Re-read it. Memorize it. Beat it into your skull.

Guess what? Some of my best in-game and Blogging friends have Blood Elf or Alliance mains. You may know some of them. They are awesome people. There are other awesome people in the same boat that I have not linked and, guess what? Their choice of race and/or faction does not make them any less awesome.

My server is lucky to have some of the best, in my biased opinion, Blood Elf roleplayers ever. They have deep, interesting backstories that have developed and continue to develop over the years and months since BC. They have fun roleplaying and killing shit, they are amazing people on an OOC level and they, like me, roll their eyes when the obligatory daily “I hate Blood Elves” pops into /tbdf.

Yes, there are some Blood Elf character concepts that make me roll my eyes and sigh – but the things that some players do does not make the race suck.

I am sick of Blood Elf hate. I am sick of race and faction hate in general. Fucking stop it. It’s tiring. It doesn’t make sense.

STFU, haters.
