Misery loves company

Frustrated, incorporated.
I can't say why I have felt the urge to put these posts to music in my mind, but it helps.
An amazing night of peaks and valleys, we managed to drop both Sapph and KT(10) tonight only to be disturbed by the drama-beast.
The story goes something like this...
I left my previous guild (Sin) to start a new guild (Placebo) with a few of my super old friends, who had a similar mindset, approach and preparation for raiding. The only bad news was, our roster was 6 players deep, so after we all dinged 80 about 5-6 days in, I started fishing thru the quality players who were up to 80 on my friends list. Alot of them were still from Sin, that I really enjoyed playing with. We threw together a run, and manage to squeak our way up to get blocked by Sapphiron last week. Everyone is excited, having a blast.
So then this week, we have 12-13 people ready to get in on our raid (Once again only including people in my guild and friends list) only to find out that two of my friends have been raising an unholy storm of feces in Sin's guild chat, acting all elitist towards people they are still guilded with. This does NOT fly with me, I don't care if I left because I was tired of the same idiots - be a grown up about it, you don't need to rub someone's face in your good fortune. So I may be cutting loose a few of the people I really enjoyed having along, because they don't know how to act.
If that wasn't enough, now I am getting tells from the people I had to sit to maintain balance / function about starting a SECOND run. Are you kidding me? Our guild roster includes two tanks, two healers, and two dps, how in the blue blazes are we supposed to spread 6 people who guilded together so we could run things TOGETHER into two runs. So the doors might be closing, tighening up into a smaller crew - which annoys me since there are tons of people I love who just can't play as much.
I highly doubt I am alone in this sort of situation, it still just frustrates me to be in the same boat I was in for BC, when I did everything in my power to get away from the situation before it imploded. /sigh
WTB an instance without a cap that scales rewards and difficulty to the number of players.

Heh lesson learned. This is why our guild hasn't any offical naxx10 run, our stance is we are a 25man raiding guild if you want 10mans you're on your own. Some members in our guild put together their own group and cleared to sapph and I chose to sit out for my off tank just because of what you describe.
I call it the Special Snowflake Syndrome. Running 10mans = asking someone else to sit, the people that run the 10mans start getting SSS, where they get increasingly become elitist towards other members (like leaving after 2-3 wipes in a heroic or just not helping undergeared players run heroics) and becoming plain irritating and unpleasant to play with.Posted 11-28-2008 at 08:52 AM by bludwork
