Re: [Raiding] Good bye World of Warcraft

said by Nick D:

If we're saying "screw the contract", that's fine. Just accept that others will view you as a jerk. Maybe that matters to you, because you're like me and you prefer to that random people think of you as a "nice guy".

Maybe you take a view that "it's WoW, 5 mans are srs biz, and when am I ever going to see these guys anyways?", which is reasonable, but it doesn't mean that someone else doesn't see you as a jerk. It's just that it doesn't affect you.

screw it, since i cant get carried and "arrange" loot drops in lfr, I'll queue as my gear can support, (read heals), but stand around and dps in tank spec with shitty tank gear to win tanking shoulders for the tank set I'm trying to build. when i get called out, I'll change my gear and spec before anyone can inspect, then change back before the pull.

care about them? they chose what spec class and role they wanted to do, at what point should i start to help them, should i be standing behind them helping them play as well, it is already painfully easy to get gear in this game, so they may have to run a dungeon a few more times or ffs make their own group and interact with guildmates or ppl on their realm to get it, but don't make it seem as if your altruism is akin to saintly duties.

Ya, LFR broke that, I'd even trade gear in LFR, because I felt the other guy needed it more.

So you want me to put all my awesome tank/healing gear on my bag and queue as a dps to do a shitty job ...

No one is saying that.

said by Nick D:

S'what I do. But hey, since I can tank or heal queue real quick, eventually my 5 man group will have no main speccers and voila, personal-morals-approved offspec gear. Win game.

He is saying exactly that.

he's saying what he does, dude. And this all started when he suggested that maybe it's okay for someone else to consider what you did a jerk move. And it IS okay... if they hold to the same code of conduct that Nick does. That's all.

It doesn't mean you ARE wrong... just that we can see where someone might consider you wrong.

When did it become controversial to consider people who roll OS > MS not adhering to the etiquette of LFD?

I did not realize this was a strange opinion.

Which is a classic example of someone designing a set of game-play rules for themselves that are not reinforced by the game's mechanics, then raging at someone else for not following them.

He thinks Jobbie is a jerk for not following his (the raging lock's) rules.

I think the newb is a little out of touch with reality and a bit of an immature jerk for raging at someone for not following someone else's expectations.

Then he makes a bunch of threats to the other person for not following his rules, including reporting them to Blizzard and trying to get them banned.

That attitude (follow my rules or else) is way too pervasive in society today.

except that the notion of MS > OS predates LFD. The game changed, but many still hold onto that form of etiquette. Not unlike continuing to hold doors open for ladies, even though society has enabled ladies to cry "sexual discrimination" rather than simply take the gesture graciously.

BTW do you know where the idea of holding doors for ladies came from?

I forgot the specifics but along the lines of letting her test the footing so if it wasn't safe you didn't fall to you death.

Over time people forgot that part and in modern times it allows a longer view of the lady.

Well I hear in oldin times ladies were large, because being large was a sign of prosperity back then, so when the tradition started they very well could have been quite fat.

At least he wasn't this idiot Monk that rolled need on a i476 BoE CLOTH piece and made it soulbound for him and couldn't trade to mage in group.

If he was an enchanter that's a 12K-15K gold shard.. what an ass..

When a tank has not a healing spec (warrior), has no buddy in group and rolls need on the Horseman's ring with spirit that ticks me off... one thing is something you could use another being an ahole because you can.

He used the gold to buy a MS piece.

How is this different?

I'm just trying to figure out why and how a line is drawn.

I'm also really bad at phrasing it so its not pedantic, so ... apologies. But try to take it in an inquisitive light.

When you take gear from people that you can't / don't plan to use you are being a jerk.

See how I kept the MS>OS bs outside of it.

You can't sell soulbound items.. when you roll need you make it soulboudn, they implemented that on Cataclysm to prevent some ninja looting

when it popped I warned them all, if you click need it will make it souldbound so click need, you'll have a 20% of getting it and sell it on the AH.. the moron clicked need anyways and now he will have to vendor/shard.

BTW a cloth item for a leather wearer WILL NOT improve your ilevel requirements for raids/LFR and viceversa.. try it.

I see what you're saying but the difference is:

Jobbie is proposing MS = OS > Trash/Vendor/DE/Greed

While the common interpertation is MS > OS > Trash/Vendor/DE/Greed.

The asshole needed a piece that is not OS nor MS, so he's just a griefer.

I'm going to shard it, sell it, use the gold to fund a MS BOE piece.

So it's an MS roll, right?

I guess this is a slippery slope, and you can use the same argument for rolling need on something you actually wouldn't use for either spec (like all these strength rings my hunter can need on).

"Shard > your gear"

Exactly, but it is not what I am proposing, it is what blizzard has imposed on us with the LFD loot rules.

Yeah sometimes we can need on stuff not usable for us, now you would be a jerk, using the thread therms, if you pressed the need button on any of those. That is not how the system is set to work just a bug.
