Quel'thetards

This is WoW oriented. While you may enjoy reading it, you probably will not fully understand it unless you play the game.
***DISCLAIMER***

This is the new term I am now (not so affectionately) referring to members of the Quel'Thalas realm on World of Warcraft as.

My realm (Llane) is part of the battlegroup "Vindication". As such, when we queue up for a random dungeon or heroic, we are grouped with people from other realms within our battlegroup. Sadly, our battlegroup seems to have been assigned the unsavory task of hosting 3 realms from "Latin America": Ragnaros, Drakkari, and Quel'Thalas.

While QT is being picked on exclusively in this name -- I feel the term is to be deemed viable for members of all three realms.

Over the last month or two, I have noticed that there seems to be an increasingly large amount of these guys running around in our random dungeons, finding a way to make the "language barrier" nearly impossible to deal with. In a game where communication is key, especially between tank and healer, I often notice the frustration that spawns from these folks having no idea what to do, how to communicate, or which way to best handle situations that arise.

Before any accusations are thrown -- I'd like to point out that I am married to a very beautiful, very smart, South American woman....however, the significant difference between her and these asshats: SHE SPEAKS GOOD ENGLISH!

Why we were selected as the battlegroup to continuously pound our heads on our keyboards in frustration, I may never know....but do me a solid, if you're in a group and one of these Quel'Thetards is tanking or healing for you ---- make the world a better place and /votekick him. (Unless you are able to speak spanish...in which case you should explain to him that he should have rolled a Warlock.....it's much easier to faceroll.)
