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