    Default What is the deal with Pink Docents???

    What is the deal with Pink Docents? This is a serious question. Why are there so many in the game. Warforged are my favorite race to play. I come across a lot of docents along the way, and a disproportionate amount of them are pink. What the heck is up with this. Is everyone selling their pink ones and I am the one that gets stuck buying them? Do I always pull the pink ones out of chests? I play permadeath and the last month my new PD warforged have all had to run around in pink docents because that is all I seem to get.

    I know that some women play this game, and some of those women may play warforged. Most don't however, most women seem to prefer a fleshie race. So the percentage of warforged that are women that would like a pretty pink docent must be pretty small.

    Who is the docent designer for this game? A nine year old girl?? OR is the designer letting his little girl pick the color?

    AAAAARGGGGHHHHHH

    Dunno, Val. Bad dice rolls, maybe?


    edit:

    ...would you prefer a nice BLUE THONG docent?

    This is what someone in my guild did after seeing one of my docents. I look like a pimp, not a wizard. The one my WFed barbarian had on may have been worse, but at least Lessah wasn't around to screenshot that one.

    I'm not ROFLing at my puter. Honest.

    Don't have a screenie of it, but my female WF has the Tron docent in pink tracers. I could never wear it on my male char tho.

    All of my WF are male (why there's a difference I don't know anyway) and I am embarrassed for my 'Forged' when I pull one of these things. What's even worse is if he needs it, and has to run about looking like that until I get him a decent docent. Yes I'm female. No I don't like pink. Especially not on my WF. Bleah.

    /waits for Rowanheal to show up...

    I think all the pink might have of been at the request of Rowanheal she was petitioning the devs for more pink

    *walks around in her awesome Pink docent* Ahem... *gestures the the pinkness that is herself* Hello... you see this docent here? umm.. story behind this docent. It was the first docent I ever got that was pink... Now... I may be a girly forged... but you see... I HATE PINK. It's ugly! Call it Lightish red, all you like, but you're only lying to yourself. It's PINK puke.....gahhh
    but anyway... while wearing this atrocious colour... a nice young permadeather walked by..
    and he stared at me...
    and he laughed..
    and I cried on the inside..
    but karma was kind, you see.... not 1 minute after.. I received a tell from this young bright eyed adventurer... you see... he was laughing much to hard, in real life, at my ulgy taste in docents... and his laughter... well.. lets just say he didn't watch where he was going..
    he's dead now..
    he fell off a bridge.
    Apparently pink docents have the secret ability of 'Permadeath bane'. Pretty cool, huh?

    Lucky for you guys, people caste invisablity, barkskin, stone skin and camo on me whenever I dare to wear the dreaded docent-o-pink. ^_^

    Pink is definitely hot.

    It's especially awesome when you crush someone and they realize they got their head handed to them by someone wearing pink.

    THe abnormal amount of Pink in the game is totally Rowenheal's fault. Stop blaming Turbine for this one.

    I'll have to remember that. That is pretty funny.

    I found a cheap +1 Fearsome Docent a few months back that I bought cheap off of the AH. I quickly learned why it was so cheap. I swear it had 80's style legwarmers as part of the outfit. I put it right back on the AH.
