LFG now at ridiculous levels

[munkeyinorbit]

I was in chat on my server just reading the usual trolling in general when I saw this:
"LFM H BRF. Must link flying achievment. No GROUNDIES allowed!" When I PMed the person he just said "My raid, my rules" which is fair enough but I did find this pretty funny. I like the inference that groundies make, plus it didn't look like there was an actual level of gear needed. What do you guys think?

I was just talking to one of my guildies and she says the full definition of groundie is : (1)Someone who is too retarded to get the flying achievement and the only way to prove you are not too retarded is to have the flying achievement. (2) A mix of the words downie and ground. This makes it funnier imo, even though laughing at someone with Downs Syndrome is not cool.

I think this is hilarious

Well it might be a way to judge effort/hardcoreness so fair enough

[Fawkess]

At least it gets rid of the scrubs who want carrys

filthy ground dwellers..

[Darsithis]

That's one of the stupidest requirements I've seen.

haha looks like I won't be doing LFG for a while then! I'm too lazy to get my flying achieve xD

[SL1200]

I suspect that you've been trolled in lfg.

[munkeyinorbit]

Thats a good point. Could it be in response of all those people having a cry because they weren't given flying for no effort? I read a few pages of those threads and just found it pretty funny that people were angry because blizzard didn't give them flying and then found offence at being told that if they didn't/don't do the content, they don't need flying. Sort of matches the new nickname "groundies" pretty well.

His raid his rules, feel free to start a counter groundies only raid though

[Amerrol]

They were obviously trolling.

That´s exactly the point of that requirement.
Lazy people won't care about achievements, even when it's something as important as flying. Leading for them would be a waste of time.

[Mormolyce]

Well that one's pretty funny.

[munkeyinorbit]

I think you are lying or they were trolling.

What do I have to gain from lying? Wouldn't it make more sense to post about something that is more interesting instead of an observation on something that is just a little bit different than the norm? Why don't you cover all the bases by saying I think your lying or they were trolling or they weren't trolling?

gotta love the psychological/social part of this game \m/

[cFortyfive]

Too tryhard for my taste but somewhat entertaining.

[munkeyinorbit]

That's one of the stupidest requirements I've seen.

If that's only one of the most stupid, what is the most stupid you have seen? I agree it definitely is unusual.

I think you are lying or they were trolling.

Blizzard really doesn't need to be supplying matchmaking tools to people who use them for trolling instead.

I see what you did thar, and I approve.

Stupid, but hilarious.

My mother has the achievement, but she's not the kind of player you want to have in a raid.
