    Haste is one of the most important stats for Pally tanks since 5.0 since our CD's are now lowered by Haste in combination to the active mitigation system. Depending on which way you gear, it's Mastery>Haste or Haste>Mastery, but either way, both come before Dodge/Parry. (But after Hit/Exp)

    For anyone to say Haste is not a tanking stat for Pallies they are just ignorant of how they gear since 5.0. But, since Haste has always traditionally been a DPS stat, I suppose it's understandable if you are not current on Pally tanks.

    So, in your story, it would seem you already were a bit of a dick but redeemed yourself in the end.

    If we're talking money/gold here, lol, I don't even want to think about it. Paid 2k for a guildy's enchants who was kicked that night - I stopped doing that kind of thing. But, I'll still give people random gifts, gave someone a Dancing Steel scroll for their LFR Starshatter who I knew from a 10M ICC H group that got me glory in Wrath.

    Not to mention there's two tanks in the game now with active mitigation that essentially gear the same (though reforge differently) be they Tank spec or DPS spec. (Druid and Monk)
    Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
    Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
    [What's half of minor?]
    "Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."

    It just totally slipped my mind that we had a Pala tank in the group, heard people talking about the trinket, asked the ret pala if he needed it, he said no, looted it. Next time I'll be a little more careful I guess.

    I try to keep in mind the bigger the item you steal, the more of a shit name you make for yourself. Good luck finding a guild without assholes in it after stealing Ashes of A'lar... I knew a gnome mage who stole the VoA mount, had to get a name change, people figured it out and he had to transfer. And that's on Sargeras, a server infamous for being full of dicks.

    I don't believe I've ever told somebody to roll with the intent of not allowing them the item if they won, thus making the roll only a hope for a lucky excuse to do what I had already decided to do, which was to not give them the item. I'd much rather just say "I'm taking it and tough luck" than to put up such a deceitful charade.

    True enough, but I was talking more for the Plate tanks, since ever since "+Def leather" went bye-bye after BC when Feral got the flat -6% crit chance talents, Bears have been using DPS leather from Wrath on.

    For plate tanks, there is still "DPS" plate vs "Tank" plate, but oddly enough for Pallies, if you see a piece of Haste/Mastery plate, while technically it's considered DPS plate, it's better for them than seeing a Parry/Dodge plate drop. But that's a new thing in 5.0, so if people only have DK/Warrior tanks, they would understandably think the Pally is dumb for grabbing Haste.

    Back in Wrath the Mammoth dropped at the end of VoA and I was master looter. It was very difficult for me to not just ninja it, because at the time I was about to server transfer anyway. I wound up losing it on a 96 roll, getting outrolled by a 99.

    He's right, Lightning rod didn't drop in LFR.
    Could have been a nice story though.

    I was doing the STV fishing tournament with a woman and her somewhat dickish boyfriend that I both knew. I had already won the tournament twice, but I was going for one of the last green pieces (think it was the fishing hat).

    Well, the boyfriend kept doing a countdown - and I actually hit the 40 tastyfish mark before him. Instead of going to turn them in, all I did was whisper to his girlfriend "I won - got 40 tastyfish. ~_^" and kept fishing. 2 minutes later, the boyfriend won and was shrieking happy. She thanked me later for not turning them in and I told her not to tell him that I could've. :P

    ...I did get my hat though! ^_^

    Stupidly rare mounts are NOT worth the reputation...

    We had a VERY successful raider on our server who was one of the two people who got the Scarab Lord mount. We were in a pug he formed durring wrath for Vault of Archavon. Since he got that bug mount he REALLY wanted to have a complete collection, so when we were in there - the Grand PVP mammoth dropped, and he straight up said "Sorry guys, but I'm gonna ninja this" and BLAM - he did.

    This was REALLY stupid as my Guild leader was also in the raid, and we're one of the more predominant guilds behind his... so it immediately went to the forums, and his name became INSTANT CRAP from that point on. He was no longer the Scarab Lord of our server - he became "That jackass who ninja'd the PVP mount, despite having the RAREST mount in the game!"

    I was having major difficulties with a guy in our raid group who, literally out of nowhere, decided to hate me and talk shit about me in a private channel - not realizing that a couple of my friends were in there. When I confronted him on it, he'd deny it and say that he actually liked me and what was I talking about?

    I brought my issue up with our GM as it was making me consider looking for another guild. The GM asked if he'd prefer that I remove the guy instead and -- I kind of sat back and assessed the options: We lose a core healer and probably one of his friends (also a healer), and I'm "that person", the one that forced someone out of the guild; they lose me and replace me fairly quickly, since we had a lot of DPS waiting in the wings, but keep a core healer; or I stick it out, try to ignore him, mute him on Vent and bide my time until he leaves on his own, since he was unhappy with basically everything in the guild but stayed for some weird reason.

    The temptation to be "that person" - that dick who throws their weight around and demands change because they can - was almost irresistible. I'd have been free of him and would've enjoyed raiding again a whole lot sooner than I did, but I also would've turned into him: a bully who acts innocent on the face of it. I couldn't do it.

    Must be nice being a dick whenever you feel like it, though, until you run out of people who like you.
    This concept of wuv confuses and infuriates us.

    So back when cata was really fresh and new I found a 10m guild progressing VERY fast, and they took me in as a core healer. So the first day in the guild we run BWD. Our other healer was a druid and he out geared me considerably, and we downed Magmaw first attempt, the dagger Inceratus? I think it was called dropped and I still was rocking heroic 1h and OH, I won the roll.

    I swear someone spilled milk cause this druid cried to no end in vent. He went on and on about how this is so unfair how someone who just comes in here wins loot blah blah blah. Failing to mention his HPS was god awful and he was just downright not good, specially since he outgeared me. We started moving on to omnotron defense system and he was still bitching and moaning so I got fed up, "do you want the f***ing dagger that bad?" he said yes, and I gave it to him, he shut up, didn't say thanks, and said "thank god...". Minutes after the guild master whispered me saying he was terribly sorry for him and I told the raid we were gonna look for another healer, he got gkicked lol.

    So I think I was still a dick? lose/lose situation..

  15. #35
    Remember the bug that made normal Ragnaros drop mount 100% for like 2 days? Well we went, we killed it... and leader by the mistake gave mount to me before rolls happend. Though I gave it away so it could be rolled fairly. And ofc I lost the roll. Never seen that mount dropping after and probably I never will. Kinda regret it but I always prefer to do the right thing.

  16. #36
    Was running ZG with a friend and the Tiger dropped.
    I won it.
    We continued to kill the raptor boss and, surprisingly, the mount dropped too.
    Let him have it instead of rolling.
    Would he have done the same? Who knows I just didn't want to be a dick and take both.
    Never ended up getting that raptor mount though.

    Actually, most of the situations people brought up aren't exactly 'dick-ish', they are more justified.

    masterlooting Al'ar and ninja it would be dickish.

    But the post above me, even if u did roll and win, u still wouldn't be a dick, since it was only fair
    and winning loot as a new guy instead of a whiny druid isn't dickish either.

    Oh Moxie... I never denied anything you silly fool. We talked about our issues, and yeah I do think you are ok mostly. Let me enlighten you though on a few things though. If you think the GM from our guild was going to remove me, or that you had some power to... lol please. Before I left ( without a /gkick lorf ) your buddy Xen(GM) sent me a tell about how you went crazy when he kicked a guild member out that was stalking a girl in game. It was so bad for her that she had to get a GM involved because he wouldn't leave her alone. Oh, but he was your friend (go figure), and how dare we get rid of him. ffs Just another reason why I had issues with you. We both agreed that you are a pain to deal with in guild. As for not knowing word might get back to you in that "private channel". Oh I know you get along with those people Mox. Yeah we talked about it. Wasn't hiding anything. What you did was messed up... and guess what? those "friends" in the channel agree with me too. Even talking in vent with your best friend about how screwed up you are. He knows you have issues too lol. I wasn't uphappy with everything in the guild... just in you. I'm hardly a bully and you need to get your facts straight. Come back to reality and get a clue how things really are Mox. Or just keep thinking you are ok w/e. Love Heff
