  • Apparently I piss off people easily... well, that goes both ways, bub.

    That is what World of Warcraft was.... or rather that is what I thought it was.... Apparently, when a person joins a party, raid or other function that he should inform the party members of his/her actions and anything and everything he/she has done in the last three months, filling out the proper forms in triplicate and coming into work on Saturday... Mmmm Kay? good...

    Either way I think that I may take a long break from the game...

    Here's the situation:
    The fact that I was in a 5 person group in BRD and queued up for Battle Grounds (which I have done in the past and nothing is wrong with that, BG's take one hell of a long time to get in...) we had just completed a quest of mine (my only one there) and then WSG Pops and I autojoin it. I try to tell my group about it but I've already been kicked from the party, two people have called me a ninja and already ignored my replies and have contacted my guild officier, who proceeds to chew me out while I'm still playing WSG... that I should either Farm while waiting for a Queue or just straight instance... I should be able to do both, just inform the people constantly of my actions...

    I tried in all honestly to apologize for the situation that happened. But I couldn't.

    The Solution:
    This is a game people. It is meant for many causal people to join together and have fun. People make mistakes. Live with it. Worse comes to worse don't group with that person. Yes, you could put them on ignore, but only use that as a last resort. 99% of the people are truly sorry, like myself... However, yes, there are those that are out there, you know the 1% that will ninja an item and say it was by accident and such... those you put on ignore...

    A better solution. Quit the game, save money and go work out, practise JJ, work on websites, anything but game.

    The sky is the sky. The ground is the ground and Work is still Work.

    Work has gotten a type bit busier... a tiny bit.. instead of 8 hours of WoW I got in about 5 or 6... yes I was shocked too but that's ok. I would prefer to be busy at work then playing. People say: "Where do you work? I want to work there..." Well if you insist... But if you have a higher paying job then mine, so be it I will most definitely take your job. Speaking of jobs, remember that one I applied to a few posts back. It was in the paper again :) Same job, same company better pay.. apparently the hiree that they got didn't pan out... Looks like Round 2 for me. We shall see.

    Quote of the day:

    Officier: "Don't you think about your actions?"

    Vx (In-game): (sarcasticly) "Yes, I do. I decide to wake up every morning and say to myself. Gee-whiz, what can I do to spoil the good name of my guild today? Hmm, I know, I'll leave a 5man for a battlegrounds. Or I'll Ninja Loot an item when everyone else got an item and didn't respond to my asking... or better yet, I'll just go to every single guild and call them a fucktard..." Do you see the absurdity of what you are asking me?

  • It's a bit disturbing, the more end-game you play, the more intense people get.  That's why we're capping our guild numbers at 20, tops.

  • Dude, and what's the malfunction with your GM?  He's supposed to be on your side.  Find another guild with sphincters that aren't so clenched.

  • Your guild sounds a little tightly-wound.  And overly obssessed about teh epix.
