40 Man Raid DramaFollow

End-game brings drama.

But that is pretty funny stuff.

Thread is gone. But...

I was in such a guild. It wasn't like that at first, or didn't seem that way. Everyone told me "Oh, she doesn't mean anything by it" and such. Certain people just have totally dominating personalities, and they can make you think that being verbally abused is normal, you deserve it, it's not that bad, etc. She was ex-military, if you can imagine the raids being run as seriously as a drill squad, well, that's how she was. We were her soldiers. And she didn't do it every night. We had plenty of raids where she was in a pleasant mood, or not there, and it was always a relief.

But once my husband and I realized we weren't having fun at all, we just kinda silently stopped coming. And we're a lot better off for it now. We're guilded with mostly single college guys now, not like the couples guild that the other was, but the leader is a lot more laid back and there's less yelling and everyone treats it like a game. Plus they're better players. :\

Just wanted to put in that it's not always complete morons that end up in a guild like what I'm imagining. Often the true colors don't show for several weeks or months, and by then you're loathe to leave the people you do like.

I often wonder what someone with a serious background in psycology would make of the kind of drama that goes on end-game guilds like that. I keep in touch with a friend who still plays on my old server and he's constantly telling stories with lines like:

"well you know guild x, they split off from guild y and stole half of guild z right? Well they were farming rag and working on BWL and then their guild master got pissed at some people and just disbanded the whole guild. Well some of them are now guild a, but like a third went and started guld b and guild b is now flaming guild a on the fourms with guild z joining in so they hate each other......."

and it goes on, but what's scary isn't that this hapened because you'll find the same type of thing in most any social group, what's scary is that this happened in about two weeks.

Pricks I can understand causing it, but some of these people seem perfectly rational, reasonable and polite when you talk to them. The mind boggles.

Damn they took down the original thread.

and a nice ytmnd can be found here:

Highlights include a Computer voice and Kermit the Frog trying to make peace at around the 10-12 min mark, as well as Getcha totally loosing it around 28:00.

Yeah I can't totally fault the guy as I imagine its really tough to lead a high end guild. That said, holy crap! Also, damn is the southern chick who won't stop talking annoying.
