The Only Time (Thus Far) I’ve Rage-logged

Aug22

Tonight we were supposed to do an ‘alt’ raid but I was really wanting to just not raid at all. That being said I really wish people would tell me about the status of the group before I join. If this is going to be “we’re bringing people who haven’t played in 9 months, are still ilevel 377 etc” then I’ll just pass.

To make things worse, the original gm, Spicecakes, made it extra annoying by repeatedly exclaiming over how bad they were doing. Like “wow I didn’t have a raid frame set up!” “Wow my gear is BAD!” “omg can I bring the cutest paladin ever!” “afk sorry I have to restart the game who knew this error would require restarting!”

Just fucking on and on and on. I nearly pulled my connection out in rage.

The only thing that made it tolerable is that Angiecakes gets irritated as the same thing as me and we just bitched to each other a lot. They say Angie is a girl, but I don’t think so personally. But if so that’s cool and we can easily be like, BFF’s and gay stuff like that.

Anyway on Ultraxion 3 people die to fading light or whatever, tank got rezzed, then another person died, so we were down Spice’s pally healer (not that it mattered) plus 2 dps. At 1% we wiped because a tank didn’t taunt or whatever it is they are supposed to do and we all died. At 1%.

AT ONE PERCENT.

I closed vent, dropped party, said “Guys it’s too late to be wiping on normals I’m out” and logged.

I have a very, very small “I won’t heal you” list

Aug6

Did a TB on my mage today, and had the bonus of adding a new person to my “I will not heal” list.

There were only about 5 of us and someone asked who would come with them to WV. I said I would and I was followed by a holy paladin named Lightbringr. We hit WV and there was a hunter and a resto shaman, so I focus’d on the resto shaman, but even attempting to CS, fire blast stun, deep freeze, spell steal everything, I was not able to end the shamans life solo. This is not even remotely surprising, I don’t know of any class that can 1v1 a healer and WV being “LoS city” doesn’t help either.

Anyway another warrior showed up, Clankamon I believe, and we still could not kill this shaman. the paladin started berating us, asked if we “bought” our RBG rating (my mage has 0 RBG rating) and PM’d me to “delete yer toon” and blocked me. I switched to Ocyla and had a stupid conversation about how I should have poly’d the shaman and I just gave up and logged.

That “Soulprince” type

Jun15

The Subzero pally I met on my mage seems to totally fit that “Soulprince” category I have mentioned before. There’s never a “hi how are you?” or anything just “hey we need a healer for Gruuls lair, Naxx, Hor, CoS, PoS etc”. The last two times I said no but occasionally we have sort of silly conversations like

him: wanna heal naxx?

me: no

him: we’re full just need healers

me: no

him: oops lol just filled sorry

Um, yeah I said no, I didn’t want to go anyway.

Been adding friends to my list left and right lately thanks to pvp in WG/TB. Picked up Iocane who was a rogue who helped kill a horde being irritating on our docks, Misery another rogue who also has a paladin (Damnesia/Crucifixion) they pvp a lot with, and a priest whose name escapes me at the moment (edit: Sassyhooves). If I remember right both Iocane and the priest are both female too.

In TB I’ve been following around Cann from VoW because he seems really good at the fire mage pvp. Plus once I came running to his rescue after a battle, after mind visioning where he was and caught him just before a death. Oddly enough depending on who is at TB, I don’t always get a warm reception. We had one today where there were around 5 horde at Slags for a good 8 minutes and other than a DK running in once in a while, no one ever came to help. We had 0/3 bases with 2 minutes left, and no one was at slags nor WV. I said “we’re going to lose like this” and got the usualy stupid “if you think that way why are you here?” (obviously I’m trying to make us win, duh) and “don’t be a negative nancy”.

There is nothing negative about looking at a map and determining we probably don’t have what it takes to win it. Especially when no one is moving out of ICG and still aren’t taking it. I was told I should leave the raid, I was like seriously? Two people confirmed it so I left (Marvel and Mysterea). Was kind of amusing.

9 minutes later or so they did end up taking it, but geez.

Mages are Douchbags

Apr15

I don’t know why mages are typically the douchiest players I’ve ever met. Ran a new dungeon with Essaac (druid, I’m not talking about him it was a pug mage) today who just turned 85 and is naturally doing shitty dps and needing on all the healing gear besides that. I don’t mind that but I personally would kick up a fit if I also needed something a damn druid was needing on when they aren’t in the spec they need it on. For the record even if no one else in the group needs what I want I’ll say “ok if I need for OS?” or something. But, that’s me. Since I was healing and didn’t need gear, it wasn’t an issue.

Anyway we got End Time and everyone was doing less than 15k dps so all the fights took twice as long as normal. That wasn’t a real big deal until we were on the last boss and I recommended hitting the hourglass every 20% because the dps is “pretty low”. The mage apparently took offense and started with the usual mage insults like “I could outheal you on my pally” and for his poor dps “I’m pvp fire spec” and something about how I don’t know how to pvp, so I mentioned my priest and he kept going on about how I was so “fail bad” and this and that. I would have let him die if he was taking any damage. I had to put out 20k hps because that fight went so long and people were undergeared or whatever. He mentioned his paladin so I told him every time I dispelled wings or bubble I’d “think of him” but he said that made no sense because he is of course, a moron (hint, you said you had a pally, stupid) Oh well.

Elitist Jerk

Mar24

I like how anytime I trash someone for being desperately awful on their class, that they ask if I’m in an elite guild or “hardcore” guild. No, do you really need to be elite to know you shouldn’t be missing 9 glyphs? Do you have to be elite to not lose 30% of your health per mob swing? Or wait I’m sure you have to be elite to NOT play a fire mage just hitting scorch constantly.
