Aka 4k dps lock on festergut.
Its still favoritism, the person providing that ultimatum is being favored. Hopefully they're picking up their SO's slack in some capacity. Frankly, I don't do ultimatums I'd just assume PUG the spot that deal with those sorts of arm twisting talents.
You want me to bring them? Make me want to bring them.
We then lost a great female Resto Shaman because her boyfriend was being a jackass to a few people and wouldn't stop. So he got gkicked and she naturally left.
Hate: DCs on gunship meant we wiped twice. They "fixed" jumping over the side to your doom for fast wiping. You now get ported back to the ship. It wouldn't be so bad but for intentionally dieing as a prot paladin taking ages.
I think it's very reasonable for a couple to raid together, or not at all. However if one of that couple is terrible, I might also expect that couple to be excluded, regardless of how good the other person is.
Make sure he pops shield wall or else he's got a huge black dick and is a really bad player.
Alternatively, wait until an inhale to swap.
Back on topic:
Really really Hope: That there are 5 COD Primordial Saronite waiting in my mail box when I log on today. Momma needs a new pair of shoes.

I know how this goes. through BC and majority of Wrath. THe counter part could not beat any of the tanks in deeps...and we geared of 3 of said person's toons.
So speaking of dramamamamama:
Amused: sooo sometime ago I had once vented about a raid member that was pissed the world is against them. This person in their time raiding with us has done:
-Pulled a whole side in naxx25 because of some comment with costed us Immortal (2 weeks before the drake was removed). The week after he was sat out and we got immortal. That butt hurt him for a long time.
-left the guild...twice , threaten/whined too numerous times to count to leave the guild.
-Is always defensive or emo.
So now comes in Shadowmourn. As with the last lengedary weapon it went to the most benefical class that was also the longest standing member of the raid. Fair enough. So the first person it goes to is choosen (not him) This said member pulled emo for about 2 weeks but people ignored him and it blew over. Now I guess he has been planning to get the 2nd one, should also mention he never spoke with the RL about it first.
Somehow he caught a "rumor" that he wasn't gonna be second, freaked and left the raid Tues night and declined 10s invite (something he whined for so long to be a part of). So now he has his arms cross, stomping his feet and blaming it all on our RL, when they even admited that decision was never made for #2. I hope to god they jsut cut him loose, he maybe be good dps but he is not worth this effort....
So, um, after the two ragequits and all the emo, how did he get back in?
I'm 99% sure that the officers in my guild would laugh off just about any attempt to rejoin if we had a DPS pull that.
Jesus, you women always on about your shoes, even in video games.
Steam
Only the strong can help the weak.
My bad. I had totally forgotten about ZA and TK/SSC.
Nevertheless, you are a blessing to us and not a burden.
BTW I got a "free" primordial saronite from my hacking that I might part with if you need one. Because of my wedding in May my raiding opportunities are becoming pretty restricted so it's pretty unlikely that I'll be able to get enough to make the mail boots I would want.
What was funny about it is that he's like 16 or something and prior to the raid getting going he was calling the rest of us immature for doing the whole dickscockslol thing. We might have been talking about bear sex, too. I don't know.
He wont be going to anymore raids with us if I have any say about it. Which I do.
Yeah the RL is a bleeding heart, and loves his DPS. I use to be this guy's friend but I just couldn't handle the emotional drain that he is.
I am hoping that the discussion the RL and I had last night showed them the light to move on. Leaving emo kid behind. Because seriously, enough is enough.
Dear, you know said player is a dick.
Aside from his bull in raid he has no common decency for his fellow person unless what they are doing somehow benefits him.
Supporting case that he is a dick:
Said toons name is Sabin. We all know and love Sabin from Final Fantasy right? One day he is tagging along with a friend and I as Neyla is PL'ing our lowbies through some instance. Jokingly my friend says "Why don't you do a blitz attack or something?"
What does Sabin do? (Naughty language included)
And so was the day one of the people I enjoyed gaming with left Feathermoon
TL;DR:
Dude needs to quit eatting giant bowls of stupid-o's in the morning and realize the world revolves around the sun, not him.
Shouldn't you be a holy priest? I kid I kid.
People using gender to lower standards other people have to meet are silly geese and taking advantage of WoW's mostly young, naive and horny player base.
Hate: Grinding BG tokens for the "easy" ones. Especially WSG. *sigh* But the blue dragonhawk is so pwetty. -_-
They are the Boots of Kingly Upheaval. Big ol' plate boots, and they even have +hit on them, so that I don't miss when I put them up your ass*
I'll cut you. On the bottom of your feet, so every time you walk, you feel me cutting you.*
*Above posts are intended to be taken as humor.
WRONG! Every ICC boot looks like socks.
At least all the ones I've ever tried on in the dressing room. May just be caster stuff. I hate it.
And they didn't just walk back to the portal dropped by the NPCs why?
Guess who got the first 25man Saurfang trinket after being in the guild only a week and pulling like 7k dps?
Happy: Downed Prof Put before Team A could on icc10. The team I was on could be considered team D. Alts and such. It happened after the 25 man so the people in the group were still in cooperation mode or something. We went in and 1 shot him after 6 or 7 attempts the previous day.
Hate: Carnies.
I am going to stop bitching now..
Not a woman, but we had a highly geared rogue in the guild during the Molten Core days, but their damage was always terribly low. We'd link them to elitist jerks, other dps style sites, suggest rotations and give them a list of suggestions to improve, but it was rarely all that good, and we're talking full T2 with a Thunderfury in hand.
So we had another rogue player use that character for a run. Absolutely smoked everyone. We were all running our usual buffs and whatnot, and this guy just couldn't be touched.
Eventually you get to the point where, in this raiding day and age of enrage timers and things that need to die INSTANTLY, dead weight dps have to be dealt with in one way or another.
What did you do with him, and how did he get T-fury in the first place :P
Then he joined my crew, and met some people who actually know how to wreck shit.
They weren't bad people, they just weren't the kind of group who had a number of people that ran numbers and kept up to date on their class and mechanic info. There were people whom I got a pair of Cauterizing bands with on my Paladin because in a 40 man raid, nobody would spend any dkp on them, while they were in fact some pretty hot shit.
I believe he was with us through Vanilla raiding, but was unfortunately sat as a victim of the culls down to 25 man content in TBC.
Not a bad guy, just not a great rogue. Reasonably good, but not good enough.
You got a pair of Cauterizing Bands? Lucky, everybody wanted those in my old vanilla raid guild =(
On that note, I'm still waiting for my minor glyph of Sanctuary. Given how often a prot paladin has to greater blessing paladins with one thing and single bless herself with Sanc, it would be really really nice. Way more quality-of-life useful than the Might one.
Oh jesus this made me actually LOL at work. Cue the mental Benny Hill music.
Hate: When people say they got "hacked" but what they really mean is "I was using someone else's account and they took it back" or similar.
Huge Hate: Moving on Sunday, won't have cable/internet until the following Saturday. Originally it was even longer but I called and asked if anyone canceled. I'm going to do that every day now just in case something even earlier opens up. But ugh. I'm pretty sure I'm perfectly capable of plugging a modem into the wall, Time Warner. I promise if you just let me pick up the modem, things will be okay. I don't need you to do it for me.
I know I can get access to free wifi in NYC pretty easily, but the latest one I found is 11 p.m. and we raid until 12. And that's even assuming the connection at a Borders is good enough to bother raiding anything important. Why oh why couldn't the new wing open NEXT week...
Hate ^ 2: self-important geared people who like to talk shit in group chat if everyone in the group isnt doing 4k+ dps.
Yep. They don't let you anymore, apparently, at least not here. Or so customer service said when I argued about it. I read that it's because they were getting too many customer service calls from people fucking it up. So they think it's less costly somehow to have to send a guy out for every customer? Basically I'm punished cos other people fail. Bleh.
Best rule we ever had in one of my guilds: if you quit the guild for any reason whatsoever, you need to write a new application.
We got rid of some warrior with a "sorry, we're full on DPS warriors" after he emoquit.
