Why should I help others if I get no extra dkp?

So you're allowing ignorant people to continue to be ignorant - borderline stupid.

Good on you for taking the high road and avoiding the drama, but not all people are in this mind set.

I ran a Pug Naxx25 once with my tank and 2x Shaman. I did the last 6 bosses with them, me equally splitting my roles. 3 fights I was tank + 2x healers (healing both MT and OT) and 3 fights I was heal + 2x DPS (holy pally).

When it came to loot, I clearly asked do I get to roll on all three, or just one for all three, as I didn't want drama. The "raid leader" said "1 roll per three toons" and then about 5 people on vent proceeded to tell him he was wrong and that I should get 1 roll per toon, as I'm playing all three. (one person actually metioned that I was working harder than anyone else... lol).

So, they're are good people out there. The ones that tell you "1 roll for all toons" are just greedy loot whores and should be gkicked.

If they whole raid doesn't get geared, then the whole raid suffers.

Whoa there, Voldemort - don't mistake my kindness for weakness.
I personally enjoy the drama, but I don't want to put someone I G.A.F. about in that position of having to defend me just because they ARE the raid leader and they ARE the one the decisions fall back on.
No matter how awesome-tastic I am, the raid is going to be at a DPS or HPS or TPS deficit the longer my other characters are in. Last week, doing XT-002, I managed to pull it off as a resto shaman/elemental shaman/BM hunter trio, because the raid needed people. We did it, and I would've made any of you proud with my FTL healbot add-killing heart-shooting spread-outing style.
Even so, I'm still not as good as 3 retarded rogues who get light bomb and gravity bomb and run circles around the heart killing the tank. Mostly because I spend all that time I could be DPSing instead spamming heals on the tank, in that situation, with the hunter inexplicably refusing to /follow the leader.

Mental note: I need to get a footpedal setup.

Anyway, I see myself as an enabler for the guild. Stuff dies faster when we bring a caffeinated A.D.D. rogue in and kick one of my DPS out. On gimmicky fights (read: every WotLK boss but Patchwerk) it's just that way.

But enough mixed messages about how awesome AND fail I am. My only point is: They're gonna be ignorant and stupid anyway. I don't see them like that, though. I see them as "I felt like that, so I started multiboxing to deal with those fears and insecurities and run people like that through heroics".

All this while not coming across as needy or having a chip on my shoulder if they ask me politely to remove one of my alts so that YET ANOTHER DK who just dinged 80 can get in the raid.
