Once again Wednesday has rolled around, and Guildwatch has appeared on my monitor, full of the delights of WOW drama, tantrums, breakups and of course, theft. As always, lots of instances are being downed and many guilds are recruiting but not on the Solo MMO Player's realm.
In the theft department, two members of On the Drop decided at 1 a.m. one morning their guild wasn't progressing in raiding fast enough, so they disbanded the guild and took 16,000 gold and over 200 Abyss Crystals with them when they turned out the lights. How a guild that isn't progressing in raiding ended up with more than 200 Abyss Crystals from the highest level new content and that much gold is a question the Guildwatch columnist can't answer.
Evil Avatar's leaders decided they should turn into a 10 man guild, so they tossed out everyone without notice except for 10 lucky (?) people, some of whom had no idea what was going on, and as a reward for their labors in remaking the guild, kept all the contents of the original guild bank (that came from the ten chosen as well as those tossed out on their ear) for themselves.
The WOW cynic Cold Comfort's blog outlines how they tried to fairly distribute loot when a guild he belonged to broke up, in case there are any rational and honest guilds out there. I'm just saying this might come in hand someday somewhere. I hope.
In other guild drama, I'm going to quote Mike Schramm here as there's no way to top what he said. Click on the purple text to go to the hyperlinks Mike mentions.
"'I had seen my position on this server for a long time. Without a doubt or uncertainty on my mind, I knew I was one of the top 3 Tanks on this server if not the one.' When it starts out with a bragging egomaniac like that complaining that he can't find a guild on the server (and is so frustrated he's going to transfer), you know this thread is going to be good. Make sure you stick with it, too, and you'll be rewarded with gems like this: 'For me getting in a guild is as easy as 1 2 3 regardless of whether they're an amazing top guild or low, hell i don't even need to apply on a forum as cocky as that sounds but it's true.' Really? 'Easy as 1 2 3'? Then why are you begging to be invited to a guild on the realm forums again?"
I can answer that question, Mike. Egomania rules!
However, the top item of the week is this YouTube complaint from someone who thinks he is entitled to a ring from a loot drop. "I've been doing Naxx since the week Wrath came out...." I've seen long-time girlfriends less interested in a ring than this guy!
"Please shut up." And wash that kid's mouth out with soap.
See you next Guildwatch Wednesday.
