Close Calls

[DarkTemplar24]

I'm pretty interested in some close calls that other people have had. I'll start out with a few.

While out of the house, I get an HonorBuddy message that says "Your character has disconnected from the game!" on my iPhone, which is immediately followed by "You have a new email from: Blizzard Entertainment." Turns out, I DC'd due to loss of internet connection, and the email was one of the fake/phising emails. PHEW!

Running a question profile, while babysitting, my character randomly begins dying. I thought for sure it was a GM bot testing me. Come to find out via reading the general chat, the certain mob is bugged and randomly kills with nothing in the combat log! PHEW!

Anyone else have some heart pounding moments while botting?

Not really a heart pounding close call but once looked over only to see my character and probably 5-6 others all following the same path pretty much right on top of each other. Had a little jump in the heart rate as thats pretty clear botting, then a little bit of joy knowing they were using a profile I put up at Cata launch.

Then one time while botting there was a Tauren gathering herbs in the same area as me (not a bot). Seen him around before and since they are pretty OP when gathering, I switched over to a horde alt to ask how much longer he was going to be there. Switched over, and before I could type anything was disconnected. Tried to log back in with the notice the account was locked, and email shortly afterwards about botting. Quickly wrote a email asking why I was locked, that I had just switched over to talk to a Horde when I was disconnected. Next day it was overturned. Bit of luck I guess with the switching as it probably gave some credit to me not "botting" and with writing the ticket so quickly when it happen.
