Forgive my argument on this because I’m not suggesting that the gear was ideal, simply better than what I had. In my guild I have a paladin who is, due to it’s stat boosts, often clothed in cloth. I like that it’s quirky.

Now yes, not disputing the validity of the “need” and focusing more on the attitudes of the individuals is my point. Yeah, we all roll our eyes but in my eyes there is a massive difference between asking and justifying AND being a loot ninja. To me these two are fundamentally different one is worth courtesy and considereation while the other deserves ire.

@ D.Mcphee Hunters really do get the short end of the stick – and There will always be loot drama – at the momement enchanting mats are flowing, and everyone is getting some. So If someone really wanted a blue not for their class – I probably would just roll my eyes and say whatever – but loot goods shined upon you so I hope that cloak is working out for you. Though given I think the blue cloak that drops ( strength stam, Defence and expertise ) is certainly more a tank or melee dsp cloak? – You might need to talk to your pet if your getting hit that much

Aaaaaaand here I am again. I think I’m getting the hang of this iPod thingy.

Patch week one has been, for me, a rather enjoyable experience because I’ve put more levels into Kat (my now 77 hunter) and I’ve really never been at a loss for groups or instances. You do have to take the good with the bad. I’ve had some groups that have worked like the engine of a ferrari, beautifully that is to say. But you don’t always win.

I’ve discovered my dislike for silent groups. I’d prefer to wipe a dozen times on the uber-cute mammoth boss in Grundak than have a group that says nothing. Atmosphere is an important reason for my playing the game. I’d rather not feel like an instance is a chore. I play to have fun, the gear and rep is really secondary.

Sometimes an experience is just lousy.

I did VH the other day and a cloak dropped which was not really for my class and certainly not for my spec but everyone had passed on it or selected disenchant so I politely asked if anyone minded is I needed it. Apparently I might as well have asked if it was alright to eat someones child. The Druid in the group told me that if I did he would refuse to heal me. Another yelled that I shouldn’t. Some said that they didn’t care and the last demanded justification for wanting to. I explained why I thought it was better and they disagreed. So I rolled greed on it (and won). For the remainder of the instance I was “Bad Hunter”.

I suppose I could have left but we had already finished half the instance and I typically dislike abandoning a group. What shocks me is the lack of politeness! I know it’s not for my class and that’s why I asked, but for most of them common ettiquette went out the window! Do you flip out if some asks you to go in front of you at a grocery store line up? Hmmm.

That’s my worst so far. The good? Plenty. Take the bad with the good I guess.
