How about this Ektar? How about you say to yourself, "Hey, Alawen really got screwed on the Mistwalker and now the honeycomb, didn't he? And he plays his cleric day after day when we ask him and takes 0% rezes after wipes and never complains. Maybe I'll just let him hang onto a fucking common drop Fire Sky Ruby and Lush Nectar that he'll probably never use because we can't kill Eye of Veeshan so he feels like he's getting something for his time."

Nah, talk down to him instead. Give him some smartass remarks about who the MA is. Tell him to wait for the other clerics to get theirs first when he asks for... druid drops.

I see a lot of leadership potential in you.

Don't talk in public channels, Ektar.

its really funny that this is the way this forum is going, Alawen has a good fucking point and look at the rest of IB defending their bad habits..

Alawen, for what it's worth, your a good guy. I know you put in your time in IB and deserve what you got, and probably more. You were/are at least one person I could have a civil/intelligent conversation with.

Dont ragequit fo eva

Thanks for the kind words in both threads, Tal. Don't those days chatting with all the druids from various guilds back in Fear seem innocent after all this crap? It's just a game. We're all playing a game together. I thought it was supposed to be fun. I thought we were supposed to make friends.

Some people play to be social and play a rpg with others - those people do make friends.

Some people play to be elite and be better than everyone else. Even if this person is a nice guy, being the best is a dirty game and some people need to be left in the dust. If you play and have to be in the best guild and raid all the time you are going to deal with a bunch of bullshit. Even if you are just wanting to raid all the time because you enjoy the content there are a ton of other people wanting to be the best and not everyone can, this causes bitching and the drama all of you fight over. If you just didn't give a shit about having an item in this game all that would go away, but unfortunately those items mean way too much for some people.

I agree. It's never been about the loot for me. It's always been about slaying dragons and having a good time.

It's like the thread has turned into an episode of Oprah or something.

Alright, so I`m typing on a french keyboard right now which means my post is at worst going to look like something Raren typed, and at best going to have some unusual punctuation, but here goes: while I won`t dispute what Alawen says about IB in the original post or any of the subsequent ones (nor will I say anything to confirm it because I just donét know if what he says is true), I`m not really sure what the controversy is over him getting kicked from IB. I mean, he criticized his guild in a public forum, something which I`m sure no guild would be okay with, and for good reason - there are other channels through which he can talk about his grievances with the guild, and it`s always more desirable to keep a guild`s problems private than to put them out on display. I also don`t see why he cares that he was kicked from a guild that he was obviously not enjoying being a part of. If I didnt like being in LifeAlert, i`d just leave - similarly, if I didn`t like my job, I wouldn`t TRY to get fired - I`d just quit. Alawen TRIED to get kicked out with this thread.
