Elitists, Elitists Everywhere

I was doing Stonecore on my Rogue, Luxxor, with a random group. After we killed the first boss, a vote kick dialogue appears. The intended ‘kickee’ is one of the other DPS. The reason given was ‘SLACKER’.

The guy was doing 4.5k DPS, which isn’t bad for his class and level (83 Priest IIRC). So, I say ‘No’ to kicking him. Unfortunately, everyone else said ‘Yes’. So he was removed from the group.

I was a bit miffed by this, so I decide to ask how he was possibly slacking.

Considering the fact the hunter was doing over 10,000 DPS, it’s only natural his pet would have contributed to that amount. Clearly these two are yet another pair of elitists who think that everyone should be capable of doing massive DPS at Level 82/83/84 … and even more once they hit 85.

Breeg joined the party to replace the Priest they kicked. He promptly did 3.3k DPS, and stayed there. Way to go, Buniek and Sosickeh. And what’s this about ’4k its like boosting’? A quick Armory check showed me that Buniek’s primary talent is Balance. His DPS was crap at one point, so he has no right to complain.

And he’s only Level 84 – so he should shut up about boosting as well.

By this time, we had killed the second boss. I was quite happy with my 4.6k DPS (considering the fact I’d never levelled a Rogue past 20 until now). Buniek left the party after saying that he “wasn’t gonna boost me”. Proof then, that he’s an elitist.

OK, so Breeg obviously didn’t realise that I was defending his DPS and starts saying that I “scared the healer” with my “complaining”. He wasn’t there for the whole thing, so he should have kept his opinions to himself.

The group fell apart after this. The tank left, then I left.

I hate elitists. They can’t accept the fact that not everyone has been playing the game for as long as they have, and therefore can’t play their class as well as these pricks would expect them to. They also seem to forget that they too were in the same situation as these people at one point in time.

I know I keep going on about this, but it just annoys me so much. Anyway, that’s me done ranting. I’ll go and see what other elitist pricks I can find.

Swanning Around

Since I’ve not encountered any new idiots for a while, here’s an old story from the archives which I found using the WayBack Machine.

If you’ve read the Hall of Shame, you will have seen that Theladyswan challenged my level 47 Mage to a duel when she (Theladyswan) was a Level 65. Well, a month later, she decided to have another pop at me.

In that time, my Mage advanced THIRTY levels, while Theladyswan only managed ONE.

Anyway, this is what happened.


That’s pretty much it. My only regret is that I didn’t lay into her regarding her pitiful level advance. One level in a month? Even the most casual of casual players could do better than that! I guess she was too busy harassing people to level properly.

The Tightness, It Hurts!

While on Luxxoria, I saw someone in trade asking for a Mage. Given the fact Luxxoria is a Mage, I asked them what they needed. They wanted a portal to Dalaran. I tell them that I charge 10 gold for Dalaran portals, and he accepts. I try to invite them to a group, but they’re in one already.

I get invited to a group, and I realise its two people who have formed a raid group. They are Ashuga and Prumster.

Now, I don’t know about other Mages, but when it comes to portals, I charge per person. Not per group. So, after verifying that the portal is indeed for both of them, I tell them that it’ll cost them 10g each.

Oh dear, they don’t seem to like this. Mind you, I’ve always done this, and nobody else has complained.

Really, Prumster? Now that’s just immature. Oh well, they eventually got their portal, but I hope they were charged a lot more than the 20g I was asking for.

It could be said that by posting this, I too am immature. Well, no. I’m not. Without people like these two, I wouldn’t have anything to post.

Anyway, the more immature the player, the bigger the laugh you get from reading about them. :)

FFS, It Was A Bug!

UPDATE (April 24th 2012): I contacted Blizzard about this, and they told me that Divine Shield drops your aggro when used. This explains why Murozond attacked someone else when I used it. However, the tooltip for Divine Shield doesn’t mention the threat drop. So this post still stands, as that (to me) is still a bug.

I was doing End Time with Holiestcow, and my group was just about to engage Murozond. Before that, however, we had killed the two packs of Infinite Dragonkin in the area. The Hunter of the group, Groxxie, was a Leatherworker, so she kept asking people to loot their kills so she could skin them.

She asked the Mage of the group to loot his kill. Then she said ‘idiot’. By this time, I had started the fight with Murozond. I thought she was referring to the Mage for not looting the body, but just to be sure, I asked…

Oh, she was calling ME an idiot. Why? Because I started the encounter. Nobody told me to wait, so how attacking the boss when everyone was clearly ready makes me an idiot is a mystery.

A while later, we used the Hourglass. Everything was reset. Including, for some reason, Murozond’s hate table. He immediately started attacking the Death Knight in our group, Ferventi, who died.

Naturally, I got the blame.

I don’t know why this happened, but I can confirm that I did indeed have over 200% aggro on the boss. Because the same thing happened again the next time we used the hourglass. This time, Murozond went after Groxxie.

This screenshot proves my point. You can clearly see that Groxxie is the target, yet I have 247% threat. Groxxie didn’t use Distracting Shot, either.

My point is this. When something goes wrong in an instance, people are always quick to blame someone, such as the tank or healer. But in this case, it wasn’t my fault that Ferventi died. It was Blizzard’s.

I looked at a list of Murozond’s abilities, and not one of them mentioned resetting his hate list. So I believe that this is a bug.

Anyway, I hope that Groxxie and Ferventi see this and realise that they both owe me an apology. People really need to learn that not everything that happens is the tank’s fault, or the healer’s. Usually, the person complaining is the one responsible for the wipe, and they’re just trying to dispel blame onto some other poor sod.

If everyone just accepted responsibility for their own actions, this world could be a much better place to live in.

Okplz … GTFO

Once again, I was on Boltsalot healing another random PUG in Throne of the Tides. Before defeating Mindbender Ghur’sha, I said that I needed mana. Instead, the tank (Okplz) started the fight. Thankfully, Telluric Currents came to my aid once again, and I got through the battle without running out.

Afterwards, I sat down to replenish my mana. Unfortuately, the rest of the group decided to carry on towards Neptulon, fighting the Tainted Sentries and Unstable Corruptions along the way. Needless to say, without a healer, they all died.

If they had just WAITED a minute, they would have survived. When I get on at them for not waiting, this happens:

Oh look, he’s blaming ME for HIS mistake. This ought to be interesting.

Ooh! Ooh! He’s threatening to quit if I tell him the truth again! So, I do. >:)

Yes, the whole thing is hilarious. Your arrogance is hilarious. The fact you’re too stupid to see the facts is hilarious. Anyway, didn’t you say you’d leave if I said anything? … All talk and no action, this guy.

So if you’re just messing, where’s the apology you owe me? All I see is you failing to get the point.

No prizes for guessing who initiated THAT votekick. After this, I went to Outland and told Okplz about this blog. I hope he sees this and realises that I was right when I told him he shouldn’t have pissed me off.

I was going to blank out the names of the other group members, but then I realised something. Even though they knew that Okplz caused the wipe, they still voted to kick me out the group, rather than refuse it. So they can go fuck themselves as well, the fucking idiots.

So yeah, that’s that. There’s a lesson to be learned here. As I said to Okplz when I went to Outland:

Don’t start anything if you’re not prepared to face the consequences. BITCH.
