Perhaps most people might not care, but I do hence the 5 minutes effort to adress what has bothering me.
I joined a raidgroup trough the LFG tool for casual Uldir HC clearing led by an individual named snip-ArgentDawn. It was a 4 man raidgroup forming looking for a tank geared an familiar with the HC tactics.
I whisped mentioning I was geared and knowledgable till Zul HC in the role as tank but as it was an altcharacter and had only cleared Uldir HC in the role of healer I might ask for minor claryfication nearing the Mythrax encounter.
We cut trough the content like a knife in butter, cleared the HC bosses 5/8 till Zull HC. At the point the Zul HC encounter I asked how much distance minimal I should keep the dominator seperated.
Right after I was removed from the raid and replaced by one of his guildies. snip-ArgentDawn mentioned vaguely that this was what his guildies wanted as they simply did not care.
snip-ArgentDawn replied none in his guild, the forum or Blizzard representitives cared. I made clear I do not appriciate the arrogant course of action and that I plan to follow up on this.
snip-ArgentDawn replied he wasnât sure what or why I was threatening him for. To wich I replied it was not a threat but common decency.
The conversation was ended with the reply âI was a [REDACTED]â followed up by earlier taunting comments. To wich I decided not to reply.
The saddest part about this is probably because it is probably motivated by the chance of Azerite Traits, virtual gear, or in other words simple greed.
To end this topic, I absolutely do not consider myself a petty victim, since Vanila to current patch I could care less about gear and have always passed on when conflict arrises. This is a matter of principle to me and sadly enough the only way I can handle this is by adressing the issue.
So instead of reporting some raider for their language, you decided to break the forum rules by mentioning specific information about this person on forums. On top of that, on forums of EUÂŽs biggest roleplaying server where most people come to discuss RP and donÂŽt really care about what happens on raiding scene? Is this your way of âfollowing upâ on something?
I was not aware it is not allowed to call out on peopleâs actions.
I do wonder what the alternative is since I donât feel language report is going to make much of a difference as mentioned by the other party.
If I crossed a line, please do make me aware and take appropriate action.
People on Argent Dawn acting like despicable human beings? Well shucks, whoever this person is, is a good example of how Argent Dawn attracts the worst kind of people (Donât deny it, we all know itâs true, the Duskwood thread and the one thread about the IP tracking guild showcase this well enough).
Though I was not expecting someone from outside of the server to try and throw shade against people on the server, which is a first. Sorry to hear about this. And yes, the person you dealt with is an arrogant son of a gun.
What is that gonna do exactly? All I can really think of is writing a ticket in order to report these people directly, and maybe a few images to help cement the whole thing. Though I feel like even then itâs probably not gonna lead anywhere, as Blizzard is cutting corners even on customer support in human decency.
As far as I know, this forum section really is used for different things as well, not just talk about Roleplay.
I donât think itâs the âCalling out peopleâs actionsâ part that is making people go âStop, criminal scum!â, itâs more the part of name-dropping, which is on the forum is not exactly a bueno thing to do.
Though I have copied the name down, and I do plan on doing a bit of a personal investigatory thing, and I will come back and confirm if the personâs attitude is as snarmy and arrogant as stated here, or if itâs entirely different (Though chances are itâll be different, because not everyone is an idiot who canât do PR to save face)
Kudos to you for caring enough and being brave enough to post, however I believe you should have brought the issue to an officer of the guild in question instead of publicly posting about it first.
If after contacting the guild officers the issue still isnât resolved, and youâre at your wits end, then I believe you can attempt to bring it to the public eye, because at that point thereâs something seriously wrong.
Honestly, this is actually the best thing to do. Best to keep it under wraps between you and the guildâs officers, only making this public if the guildâs officers prove to be as uncaring as the person that you are having grievances with.
Now thereâs a good chance that these folks will go on emergency lockdown and probably keep their heads down, assuming any of them are active forum-goers and see this thread.
I understand the reactions, at least till certain degree. Context considerd I do not regret my action other then mentioning the name too specificly. I Im able to admit that was a bit too much of a good thing. At times itâs simply difficult to cancel out all emotions entirely and I consider it a personal allergy zone. Iâll try to reflect on this as Iâm aware that lashing out in emotion tends to result in opposite effect.
That being said, altough this is told from my perspecitive and none is fully objective, I do believe it reflects with reality to acceptable degree for most.
I edited out the specific name and do not plan on dragging on the subject. I hope best for all people involved as this is hardly something to lose sleep over.
Raid leaders can invite and kick who they want and when they want. Youâre not really entitled to anything, not even a reason. Would it be nice? Sure, but come on, man. This is hardly a WoW problem, but rather an internet problem.
Not to defend anyone acting bad or anything, but the last few replies are kinda correct. Dude invited his buddy for a raid and you got replaced. Sure, itâs nepotism, but I donât think you understood the situation.
From what youâre saying, you got demanding and the RL didnât understand why. I personally feel like the situation might no be quite like what youâre trying to paint it as, but in light of everything: who cares? So many HC pugs these days, just get another one, and if you want a fun environment for learning, get a guild.
