Griefers in LFR

Nov6

Tried LFR on my pally, won a belt and someone gave me dps shoulders later on, but that wasn’t the fun part.

During Fall of Deathwing there was a priest by the name of Healuranus from Stormrage who appeared to be trying to jump off the edge in Ultraxion.  I think I said something about it, not realizing what they were trying to do at the time.  During the boat I made a comment that priests are ‘douches’ which they told me to take back and I refused on the grounds that I have a priest.  And in pvp, I’m quite a bit of a jerk, no lie.  Nothing outside of skill mechanics, but tearing off pally wings, mage ice block, hero, pally bubble, MCIng people off edges, is all somewhat jerky,. but fun and it helps my team win. Anyway.

On Spine they demanded I ‘take it back’ and I said no make me, and they threatened to then throw me off the edge if I did not. I said no and go ahead what do I care.  Being dead and carried is ok with me.  He dragged me off the edge and I died.

Then continued on to threaten the other priest with being thrown off the edge if they didn’t hand over the crown token they won.  They did not so they were tossed over the side, only the priest was able to get back up and dragged Heal down, but he didn’t die either and got back up.  I was rezzed at some point and that priest threatened to throw the tanks to their deaths if I didn’t recant my bit about douche priests. I commented that it was difficult to take back a comment about a priest being a douche when said priest has shown without a doubt that they are an epic douchebag.

So, the tank was dragged to  his death.  We completed that fight anyway, but were unable to kick the guy when he started Madness when no one was ready, and dragged at least 2 other people off the edge before we wiped and kicked.  He was reported by some people and I did one.  It didn’t bother me per se, being carried dead to a kill is fine, but you shouldn’t be allowed to get away with that behavior.

Anyway we went on to wipe on Madness 3x before I gave up.

That priest for the record, had no glyphs, no enchants, was gemmed with green quality cata gems, no belt buckle, and ilevel 380.  I don’t think any random person I armory is ever geared correctly.

I don’t need anything

Oct31

Random rant for the day, people who play A LOT of alts in a rather serious fashion.

It’s nice when you are raiding with the same person and characters all the time for a number of reasons, but one of the perks is, when they win gear, you know they don’t need that piece again. So if it’s say, your glove tier token and they win it, you know the next one is yours (assuming no one else is on the token blah blah). But sometimes when a person has a character fully geared up, they don’t want to raid on that one any more. They want to bring another char of theirs that needs gear, so they are forever bringing something that NEEDS gear. That’s why I’d often say “I don’t need anything” when joining raids. I am bringing my skills and gear and not taking anything from anyone. Some people just like to be constantly on the take.

Anyway we raided last night and one shot the first two bosses. One shot! I was slightly miffed though, the gloves that Duriel got last time, dropped again. They should have just gone to me by default, but the new mage also wanted them. So when the spirit ring dropped off Feng, even though I rolled highest, I couldn’t get it. I think I only dropped 3 spots on the loot list, but still.

Spent a lot of time staring at the healing meters, and the pallies healing just feels wrong. Looks wrong. I don’t know. People have said he has poor reaction time and stuff too. Most of the fights are two healable, I’ve been told, and I’d much rather do it with Tree, the druid.

Progression /s

We raided last night, but at 9pm we were still missing a dps.  Both Iocane and Stout were unavailable.  So, we started late, then failed on the Stone Guardians over and over.  Yes, I know, progression. I outhealed both the druid and paladin most of the attempts which was strange because disc is so weak right now.  Dor, the pally, had top heals of stuff like Beacon, Holy Light, and Illuminated Healing.  Now I haven’t healed on my pally in a while, but that struck me as odd.

Progression.

The other OTHER kind of raiding.

And yeah, my heals were TERRIBLE that shot because I was chained to melee and could barely cast a thing I had to move so much. Did ok when I was chained to Onenight tho, I don’t get it.   Oh and yeah, Nilvana was prot, and he outhealed me.  Go fig.

LFR doesn’t count

Oct23

Lately people have been linking me their Mogu’shan Vaults raid achievement showing they have 3 bosses down. I know full well it’s LFR and ask “it’s LFR isn’t it?”.

Guys. LFR is not impressive. Leonz did that to me yesterday and I told him anyone can get LFR and he said I was ‘mean’. Well ok but linking LFR is like linking a heroic dungeon achievement; everyone has it, and it’s not a big deal.

Mogu’shan Vaults

Oct18

We raided Wednesday, and got the first boss in Mogu’shan Vaults down.  We made good progression on the second but at 12 we hadn’t gotten it and I voted to not do one try, I lost, we did one try, and that was it.

I missed Thursday completely since I had PRK laser surgery on my left eye that day, and totally didn’t want to be sitting in front of a computer. I guess they got Feng down that night though.
