I'm going to /slap the next GNB that does this. IT'S NOT CUTE OR FUNNY!!

I do it cause I like using my CDs. That and It does give the healer - IF they are GOOD- time to let loose for 8 seconds. Despite some of my post on here I DO like helping my party out.

It wouldn't be safe for me to share the secrets of what I have done in this game, maybe over discord. Word of warning, make sure to never leave a chat trail.

I abandon everything I'm doing in game (be it trials, maps, dungeons) if I see or hear a flash of lightning IRL.
Dat phobia of mine too stronk.
It probably seems rude though "Gotta go, thunderstorm" *poofs*

It is a wise fear.
Had my PC fried TWICE (in the same year!) from trying to squeeze "just 10 more minutes" when it seemed it won't be storming immediately for the next half an hour.
Until BAM! suddenly loud thunder scared the hell out of me and KO'd my computer.
Two empty wallets later, I have learnt my lesson.

There are sockets that come with overvoltage protection

Yup. I have them now thanks to the expensive experience.
I still make it a habit to shut everything down because (1) it's a good safety precaution (2) I've been scarred for life.

Genuinely curious, where are u living, how can this happen?
I remember when I was a kid 25 years ago, we feared something like that could happen so my family used to turn everything electric off vut I can't imagine something like that happening to me now - maybe the storms where I live are just too weak lol

I live in South East Asia. The weather can change drastically from where I am from. It could be scorching hot in the morning then raining in the evening. I have read that our standard for "heavy rain" qualifies as storm in other parts of the world. So it might be possible our storms are somewhat stronger than what you're familiar with.

The people on the "What things annoy you?" thread will hate me for it, but... I love jumping around, instead of walking normally, both on foot and mounted. It's a bad habit that reoccurs here and there back from the WoW days with sommersaulting Night Elves . Whenever I move from A to B I do it while jumping xD.
