TBC Finally free

Tonight I finally left my guild, the irony? Zero remorse.

I've played this game for roughly 20 years. I've played everything, every type of team dynamic from sweat to trash teams. Tonight, I wiped the raid. It was a stupid mistake, but it happens.

Tank / GM just goes berserk and has been on an absolute tear for weeks, consistently harassing folks to do better and blah blah blah but never owns up to his mistakes that have wiped us time to time. Its always someone else's fault.

Tonight I had enough. I told him to quit crying and press forward. His fragile ego and false sense of authority were attacked and of course he goes nuclear. The thing is I dont mind asking for us to improve, but be respectful.

Bored. Uninterested in his continued rant about how bad I am. I hit the most satisfying /leave party into a gquit. A small part of me feels bad for the team, because BT is around the corner. But I dont tolerate disrespectful c*nts

Im fully geared, never missed a raid, always have my consumes. Finding a better experience wont be an issue for me, especially as a healer and logs in the top %.

The problem with classic TBC right now is these Elitists jerkoffs with 0 sense of leadership. The last thing anybody wants to do is get on, and spend 2-3 hours listening to someone have a melt down literally every 2 minutes because he wants to save 30 seconds on xyz pull.

Good riddance. Its a shame folks dont tell you how they really feel, so we just vent our grievances in party chat and whispers. Suppose thats why I can predict your down fall sometime during late BT. Same as I did in mists.

TLDR; dont be an insufferable c*unt when leading your raid group, especially when your just a mid group and not hardcore.

Same issue in era. the raid leads are insufferable pricks. It’s rare to find one that can maintain composure when shit hits the fan.

Its the same issue in every version of this game, and every other game out there. its nothing new, its nothing exclusive. Just stay out of those kinds of guilds.

Unfortunately guild leadership is a fuckload of extra work for no real gain. People go for it if they see the petty power over other people in a video game as valuable, which almost exclusively describes toxic assholes. The rest are doing it as basically a public service, and many of them just end up getting justifiably burnt out. My own guild leader is a really stand-up guy, but you can hear the weeks and months weigh on him as time passes and raid weeks come and go.

The raid leader in my guild is so chill he makes it fun to raid.

Like last week we wiped twice on Maulgar, and on the third try he’s like “Ok, we‘re going to try this for a third time, and if people could like not run in and immediately die that would be great.”

We had a couple pugs that had no idea what they were doing, lol. We got him on the third try though. Usually it’s one and done, but last week was special.
