IB Disbanding karma is a bitch!

[Alawen Everywhere]

This is where it gets personal and ugly and I bow out. For the record, I know a lot of very personal real life information about many of my former guildmates and I didn't gossip about any of it or betray any confidences even though I was really pissed off with many of them.

You're right, I am. I'm still a guy you can trust not to betray confidences just because I'm upset about a video game.

The problem with a couple of these top guilds is that they form for one thing and one thing only, to be the best and have the best items. The problem is that the guilds are filled with greedy bastards that are willing to do whatever to get what they want. That along with limited content makes it tough to sustain.

Everyone has seen this content before. These guilds are filled with people that are used to playing 24/7 and they are blowing through the content 5x as fast as on classic the first time around. The content has run out much quicker and it causes some problems for these hardcore players.

As soon as the greedy bastards don't get what they want people start to turn on each other. As people start to quit because they get bored, new greedy bastards are let into the guild. Then it is no longer an elite group but just a gathering of people that want to play all the time and have good items. Skill or loyalty are no longer a requirement.

Alawen, you seem to have a good perspective at times but I bet you would be right there with the assholes you now despise if they were to throw you some gear every once in a while, and leave out someone else instead.

It doesn't say as much to stand up for what is right when you aren't getting anything out of being part of the problem. You were with the guild for a long time, put in a lot of hard work, were part of the problem, then finally got fed up with no return. Then you start pointing out all the bullshit. Most of the things you say are probably true but you are, or were, part of the problem.

If RoK came out quicker IB would still be around. The guild gears out people that just end up quiting because they are bored. That cannot sustain. People get bored, the good players quit, and the next line of players come in and they probably aren't as good quality (or have the loyalty) of the original guild.

With all that said I don't know the specifics and I'm sure people will bitch about me not knowing what was really happening. You are correct and fuck off. I don't need to know anything prior to reading the thread to see whats up.

You'd lose that bet. The last piece of vermiculated both Prospect and I needed was the gloves. When they dropped, I told him to take them. He'd been very anxious about them for some time. He insisted we roll. I won.

There was a dispute over the second Mistwalker and I thought it should be held by Blaine because he was the most active druid at the time and what was important with that item was for it to be online. It adds unbelievable melee dps to every fight for every druid in attendance and it needs to be passed around.

There was a Vox kill where two eyepatches dropped. I asked Xzerion what tells he was getting and he said only two and they were both recent members and I'd get one if I asked, but I declined because of the druid quest mask from sky which we expected to be released shortly afterwards. If there were no good tells, I would have worn one until sky.

When the first treant tear dropped, Mellyn got very excited and I told her she could have it if it were important to her. She insisted we both send tells. It was awarded to me because she had received a bone-clasped girdle that week. I raided sky on live and I knew how common that drop was, though admittedly a very nice druid item.

When the rare piece for the druid mask dropped, I likely would have received it if I'd asked, but I was extremely disgusted with the behavior of the guild and certain officers both internally and externally. I congratulated the other druid on the raid, send the loot officer, who had recently been a total asshole to me, a tell to fuck off and logged out.

The loot award that upsets me the most is that Glitch never received a BCG. He earned it many times over.

I know I'm being painted as a loot whore in this thread, but that's not a very accurate description. I've been on endless planar clears long after there were any upgrades left for me. I've spent countless hours tracking gods and dragons who had no drops for me. I've been in exactly one guild on Project 1999. I leveled both a cleric and a ranger alt to 50 specifically to help the guild.

Loyalty is a two-way street. If it's not going both ways, it ends.
