    13/16 heroic myself and it's kinda hard to find a guild for me. Been in multiple world 200 guilds with server firsts out the ass but they always find something to complain about. Most recently, me using minor glyphs because they cause computer lag for everybody and .0001% wipes.

    Your opening post implicates that you feel that your guild should be clearing heroic content by now, but are still stuck in normal content.

    "implies" and actually are, are 2 COMPLETELY different things. I just joined this guild about 10 days ago.

    I had no idea of their history until I had a good talk with before we started our wed raid. Not my fault they're stuck in normal content, I don't actually think they're stuck, to be honest. Staying "stuck" I feel insults them, more of, they just were on a bad server, transferred to mine a couple weeks ago, gathered some people and brought the vets over and started up good. Not to say they've only cleared content since they came over here, but you & I both know how hard it can be to find competent people on a half dead server.

    Any minor glyph. When I told them world first guilds used them so how is it a big deal, they called me sassy.

    They are 16/16h too.

    Excerpts

    "Why are you running Minor glyphs? AT ALL? All they will do is create graphical lag that will be a problem during a bloodlust when multiple spell effects are going off. THE LAST THING WE NEED IS FUCKING FIRELINES FROM CHARGE OR CROWS FLYING AROUND EVERYWHERE WHEN YOUR EXECUTE CRITS. BETTER YET WE DONT NEED ANY ENLARGED WARRIORS CLUTTERING OUR UIs WHEN THEY VICTORY RUSH. COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY RISKS to have during an encounter.

    ADD-ons like sexymap are completely unnecessary. Things like that are what will create distractions that will LEAD TO YOU DYING AND CAUSING WIPES AT 0.0001%

    Why is your name XXX? Do you understand that such a name can be a huge fucking problem when half the fucking raid can't pronounce that name if we're trying to communicate something to you? Why can't you have a normal name like Bob or Jimmy?"

    It was 4 letters and 2 syllables with no special characters. It's also funny because their gm and leading fury warriors use minors. Herp derp derp.

    There's something seriously wrong with this guy. I'd like to see him talk to someone like this irl, and just see who dies.

    It's different times. People that know what they're doing are going to have to step up and start teaching people. Contribute.

    That being said, theres something wrong with you if you think someone dies irl everytime bad manners are thrown around. Or are you that hardcore in Sweden?

    Sure it´s a cool thing to have a good DD that doesnt die. But i sucks to have a gimped one that cant bring the expected DPS no matter how good he is, because he´s kinda a whole tier behind.
    Guild recruitment is horrible nowadays for this reason (LFR achievement/gear is not enough in the eyes of the community), along with the fact that GMs and Officers have horribly high entry requirements.

    Point one of this post should fix it somewhat.

    For some reason the particular google search I did for Dunning-Kruger effect showed that the wikipedia page for it is already purple (I alraedy searched for it). But I have no recollection of it !

    I relearned a new phrase today XD

    Not being able to find a guild or being kicked is very rarely due to someone else than yourself, either because of your play or your social "skills" (basically writing a proper application and not being quite as ignorant as OP). I have standing invites into 4 of the 10 top guilds on my server, just from being a nice guy and solid player when I had the chance to play with them (almost every guild needs to pug a player once in a while, if only for altruns, admittedly joining them requires some gear/xp in the first place). Most guilds aren't looking for amazing players (even if it helps:P), they are just looking for someone who can perform decently, shows up for raids and isn't an obnoxious prick (to be fair, all of this seems to be very challenging for 95% of the wow population).

    And get benched? Why does no one say whether they would get benched or not...

    This thread isn't completely about the fact that you get into the guild or not, its about the fact of getting benched for someone which obviously has shown their nicer & such, but I haven't had much of a chance to prove it, and when GM expects so & so numbers, and that other person so & so he's comparing me to pulls less than mine, thats what I'm saying.

    I don't want to start from base 1 on this discussion but if your going to bring the argument of you can get into a guild while being a nice guy & just being sociable, thats great & all. For the most part I am, but on top of that I also live in the real world, and sometimes people including me can be assholes, we all have those days. Just make sure from now on, if your going to post such things, include how much you get benched...

    If you are still 470 at this point in the expansion then you clearly either don't have a clue or don't give a shit, neither of which are particularly desirable to recruiters.

    You want to get into a decent guild and be taken to raids when next patch you won't even be able to enter LFR? What a joke. I levelled a warlock from 85 to 90 and got it to 471 ilvl in just one reset, without getting boosted, if your gear is in such bad shape I can see why you have trouble convincing people that you are TOP WARLOCK EVER EU.

    Wow yeah, first thing I did was report your post. It might be very well possible that I might have a life outside WoW and it got in the way, or maybe I lost interest, or maybe none of my friends that were playing, just came back recently, or hey, maybe I'm new. You don't know any of that to do you? Clearly I'm not new, but if I had been...jesus how obnoxious can one person be.

    I got to 85-90 and 471 in one reset as well...You really just.

    I'm not gonna even continue responding to your post. I'm seriously...

    By the way, I'm US, and I never said I was top warlock. Seriously, I reported you post for more than 2 reasons...

    Alright, so let me get this right...

    You have joined a guild, you're behind in gear and progress, and you expect to be brought on all the raids?
    - While you might pull the same or better dps than the other guy.. Its not always whats the important thing.
    Setup, tactics, and roles(dispeller, interrupter, kiter) all that matters.
    Why should they bring you? - I wouldnt. If they already have 10 players very capable of their jobs, and if they're currently progressing on something important.


    I recently took the jump from a 2200ish world ranked guild, to a 310ish world ranked guild.
    They were about to progress on Sha of Fear HC, and I was just starting to progress on Lei Shi.
    - But a well written application, w/ logs, pics, explanations, good answers, and just be open and polite, got me into the guild.
    I've been on Sha of Fear HC, for phase 1, and was part of the setup who got him to phase 2 for the first time.
    But after that I was benched, even though I could pull equal numbers with the other healers.
    They wanted to bring a more experienced player, and a player they knew. All understandable.
