I havenât. Iâm citing a canon comic as a source for use as a precedent being set within the lore. I donât think itâs that much of a stretch, and the reaction illustrates the exact issues I have with just hanging out with people who seem to care less about any actual regard for sources than they are with just going out of their way to continue harassing someone who has told them they just want to be left alone.
Iâll rephrase Tarrook epically for a fellow Tauren brother
I just simply donât care about Troll visas anymore⌠I will leave that matter to Stone Guard Gruggosh in the Hand of Conquest (a cool guild to join + people checking this comment should check them out)

- I vaguely recall reading somewhere that Farraki whilst they are part of the Zandalari are basically considered the lowest caste of Trolls and are essentially put in the cupboard when anyone comes to visit so they donât have to see the unsightly sand trolls, but donât quote me on that. I could be making stuff up again from my vaguely assembled memories.
Imagine getting this up in arms because someone IC doesnt like you
Is it elitism or is it that oftenly people that start getting âbiggerâ guild wise tend to have a power trip for some reason and decide to do or say the most weird things?
Shoutouts go out to [without names mentioning]:
-
the demon hunter guild with the blacklist, if the leader had a problem with you + was heavily into favoritism among their members
-
the bar guild led by a demon character that kicked you off the Discord+guild if you had another opinion than him
Two of these examples were selfmade. But you know who the first person blamed for people leaving? The members. Not the guild leaders self made insane rules that she broke herself countless times.
The bar guild guy downright blaming the PCU (???) for the downfall of his guild, hereâs a quote of him in /2: âIâm 24 hours a day highâ.
There are countless guilds that have a lot of members on AD that donât even know the PCU guys exist. Why and how? Because they donât do weird stuff and then blame it on others. Many people that create guilds that get big (or stay long) just donât understand community management and what their actions can and will cause. This is why many guilds have in their rules stated âto not bring shame to our guildtagâ, people arenât smart. They see X guildtag and instantly assosciate all their negative experiences with everyone in the guild.
Iâve had once the pleasure to meet a few lollers in the Grove in Duskwood that kept trolling people with toys. A check alt check revealed they were in a PCU guild, I forgot which. So I whispered one of the officers and the guys got kicked. These two individuals were dumb.
Do I now blame the entire PCU or the guild they were in for their actions? No. But a lot of people would, I imagine.
Another perfect example is that I recently came across someone from GS lux. The TRP stated they were a beginner. So I whispered them and carefully mentioned the guilds doings. The person didnât know about it and was only in the guild for âthe rp schoolâ. I talked to the person a little more and they left the guild while we looked for better suited IC guild together. This new person is not responsible for the actions of their leader. But in todays times a guildname is already enough to set people off. You have to understand that as a leader.
You canât just say things without having a reaction. Iâm sorry but that isnât how it works. You canât call people a bully and they will just go âwhatever lolâ. See, this is exactly what I mean. Both as a community member of a guild AND a member of AD, you need to think about what certain words will and can do.
Before throwing stuff at people, you need to think what it might cause. That is where the mentioned âblame others for your own actionsâ comes into play.
This entire situation is a big thicc example of âI donât understand that action can have (reputation wise) consequences, eh⌠letâs do it anyways and blame later othersâ. Reading the whole âprankâ (?) thing is just a big âbut why?â. Just damn dude⌠This is so much of a self-made situation itâs ridicilous.
Also please stop using that word. Because each time I read it I think of OOCers going âINSTALLING AN ADDON IS ELITISM AND TOO MUCH EFFORT!!!â.

Yeah the same could be applied right back at you here to be fair. The comics are debatably canon already. Since in the comics Medâan had Atiesh but yet Khadgar possesses it in game and no reference to Medâan even exists.
Thereâs plenty of ways you can RP your concept. Iâd even say a Horde aligned Farakki is feasable, but do you not understand that if you walk into the middle of the hordes main RP hub on a traditionally hostile race itâd raise eyebrows?
I do Naga RP sometimes, but I donât have the character walk into the middle of hubs. It wouldnât be fair to the countless other people who would either have to ignore me or RP accepting my headcanon.

One single Centaur being allowed in by a diffrent warchief nearly a decade ago doesnt mean that every single case is now free pass.

What precisely of the Farraki was the appeal to you to play if you didnât want to face any of the difficulties and situations of playing one?
What did playing a sand troll provide to you that playing a darkspear/zandalari would not have, if you had simply wanted to be a Horde-aligned troll who is free to maneuver Orgrimmar and befriend the myriad races?

You know what garithos was right
Itâs not that much of a stretch, if itâs canon. I liken it to when Illidari joined the factions. I was RPâing in a human rifleman guild. Weâd just come back from deployment, stood outside Billet (During the pre-legion invasions) and a group of Illidari walked up to the front gate. We lost our minds and nearly started shooting at them, which probably wouldnât have ended well for us but us lowly humans didnât know any better⌠Well, people have reactions, and I know my Troll would be extremely on edge and ready to jump on a Farraki that even looked at someone funny, regardless if they had a badge or not. Thatâs just my characters reactions to your character, and thatâs creating RP. Would my character bash your characters brains in given the chance? Yes. Would I bash you for playing that character? No.

Considering that Bloodsworn and Meâdanâs run are completely separate it seems like a reach to say that Bloodsworn is of dubious canonicity. Just because they occupy the same medium doesnât mean anything for their canonicity, otherwise Varianâs story(which hasnât been told anywhere else by the way) wouldnât be canon either.
I agree that I shouldnât expect hugs and welcomes, and I never did. I took the insults and slights on the chin. The consistent overbearing attitude from one group of people was a wee bit different though, because even when asked to just leave me be if they wouldnât accept the canonical possibility of that dynamic, the harassment continued. That goes beyond IC.
Rangers, thanks. Footmen were the poor unfortunate clankers weâd give our intel to so they could go do the dirty work.

Asking the hard questions here.
Clearly you didnât take the slights on the chin if youâre on the forums
Chfgâyrajs enters the wyvern tail, his 40 feet tall hulking body shatters the roof. Your character hears whispers in their minds as the monstrosity lets out guttural noises.
