I need to hire a person to play World of Warcraft with me. This person must be at least a Rival+ in arena healing and be able to assist me in getting to arena rating of 2000+. You will need to be able to play at least 3hrs per day during the week and 5hrs over the weekend. You will also need to be able to play a DK to farm honor for items. You *MUST* be trustworthy, helpful, have vent WITH MIC, and not have an holy-then-tho attitude. I have a priest account but you may have to move your healer over to Eitrigg PVE. Must be able to start ASAP (like NOW)!
I honeslty don't know what to think about this job offer: whether to be amazed at someone so obsessed with wow (and yet so estranged from online friends) that they need to hire a healer, to regard it with a cynical "nice work if you can get it" attitude...or to gnashh my teeth because I no longer have a WoW account.
Looking For WOW ARENA Healer who can also play a DK... (mountain view)

no subject
2) Unless you are a PvP-obsessed player, you don't meet the MQs
3) Expect lots of hassle from the contract-writer. In order to make the requested rating, the employer would have to be really, really good as well, in which case, he'd have people courting him, not the other way around. So, he's basically trying to hire an NBA allstar for a 2 v 2 game against other NBA allstars. Think he's going to accept the blame when his not-quite-world-class skill is whats holding him back?
4) violates Blizzards Terms of Service.
5) I really wouldnt want to be the lawyer who gets hired when loserboy gets sued for failing to pay up...
