No?

"Play your own team and fuckin earn it, don't take the easy way out and skip to yer gear, then you got no goal"
"enjoy your welfare, you "earned" it"

Well, his manner of delivery was, indeed lacking tact...... He is 100% right in his opinion. Team trading hurts other players VERY badly. When you have people in the higher levels of gear, and skill, dropping into the lower brackets.. you are taking points away from the people in those brackets. It is in fact an exploitation of a system that blizzard did not intend, and IS correcting in 2.4. How ever, it also is indeed not cheating .........just wrong........ As 5 boxers, we should never do any thing that actually unfairly harms another player, lest we draw the ire of blizzard, and they turn against us.
Also.... the forum post editing I have seen recently is fairly heavy handed....... sprited discussion should be encouraged not squlched.

Edit: Glad your back and there not a rift in the community... there are enough haters on the wow general forums (shudder).

Team trading, like just about everything else in Arena, is messed up as Blizz attempts to get their failure of an e-sport working. Its not really fair to come down on a member of the multiboxing community for doing what thousands of single players do. Do I condone it. Not at all. I hate point selling, team trading, and all the other unintended manipulations of the point system. But that's just what I think, and it only goes so far as the tip of my nose. I've seen high rated players who legitimately join a low ranking team to bring their rating up. They're just helping out a friend. Several steps away from that, you start to get seedier and seedier. However, whatever the case, its all getting changed at S4 anyway, so no point crying about it now.

As for those.. well, I fail to think of a word for that bunch in the guild.. :cursing:
Kinda feel sorry for that poor shammy that's stuck between you and the guild inch: I'd be very worried to get on the wrong side of either of you!

*sigh*

I have heard from multiple sources that my entire weekend fiasco was thanks to one misconception by the guild leader:
I am a girl. And girls cannot perform in video games at the same level as men.

F*#!ing unbelievable.

pretty much says it all for me about that Vyn. I know what 6 characters my fingers would be typing the next time I logged on, that's for sure. Or challenge them to change spec as quickly and as effectively as you did to prove their case

Wow. Just read your blog entry. That's messed up.

I know that I rarely post (though I'm regularly trolling) but in 17 years of online gaming (going back to MA MuD) and about 15 of those either leading or involved in leading guilds I've never heard anything so ridiculous. If it is the case (since all you have at the moment is rumour no matter how trustworthy the source) then, as already pointed out, you should consider g-quitting. Anyone in the noughties who holds onto antiquated and misogynistic ideas like that isn't going to be persuaded easily that they're wrong and that effort would probably be better spent enjoying yourself elsewhere, where you will be appreciated rather then fighting a (potential eternal) battle to earn grudging acceptance from someone. Hrm, I kind of got a little mythical there at the end but you get my point. In any case, good luck with the situation, welcome back and only do anything as long as the average percentage at the end is >50% happiness

I would imagine in that case that your guild leader is early teen, which is not really an excuse, or just plain stupid.

It comes up far too often to actually be worth getting upset over, because at the end of the day, if you are pathetic enough to believe it, your the one with the problem, not the girls ¬_¬

See - we Irish speak sense

ps - many of us Irish appearing with low post counts - did someone post about here on Boards.ie or what?

Hehe no idea

I'm a long time lurker, only made an account recently. Lets not derail the thread anyway, it would rapidly turn into nonsense chat considering our nationality

Ouch, that is just stupid. WoW in general and raiding in particular do not favor any gender. It is true that more males than females are interested in WoW and that that ratio shifts even further towards males in raiding, but I think that is just a question of interest and not at all one of capability.

I think you made a tremendous effort to answer your guild's need for an enhancement shaman spot to be filled. It is a shame that at the end of the day, the effort was not really needed, but after you made it and were already a guild member, the story's turn really surprises me. It sounds like there is a real communication and coordination problem in your guild. Recruiting for a spot and asking you at the same time to fill it just does not make much sense, unless indeed your guild leader really believes that you are incapable of pressing buttons just so because you are a woman. It is sad and a waste. It looks to me as if you are very patient, but I figure if both you and Suvega had told your guild leader to put his requests for healing where the sun does not shine he would have looked stupid indeed, and probably would have had understood that there is a problem. For the guild it is without question good that you did not choose such a confrontation, but your GM should really apologize. What you do then, raid as healing, enhancement, elemental or not at all is not really the big question, the question is if the breech of trust can be mended.

I should stop blabbering now. Sorry.
