I love your long ranting posts and adding too many pictures to it just for the sake of tit wouldn’t improve anything at all.

Of course you should have a lot of new paragraphs to avoid walls of texts. But pictures? It depends on the style of your blog. I adore Blessing of King’s simplistic style. Tobold’s a pretty succesful blogger, isn’t he? You wont find tons of pictures there.

Trust your talent as a storyteller. That will overrule everything else. A crappy blogwriter with every so nice pics won’t get any visits from me.

Sure, if a bow drops and the hunters don’t need it, give it to the rogue. But other than that i think that hunters should have full priority.

The rogue was a long-time guildie, very solid attendance, solid raid-performance.

The 2 hunters were new, as in they joined the guild AFTER Mu’ru had been beaten.

Yes, in general, hunters should get priority for ranged weapons, but that doesn’t mean that no-one else should ever have one. The bow does have very good stats for rogues as well.

Change the width=”720″ height=”445″ (or whatever the dimensions of your image are) to:

width=”75%”

and delete the height altogether. Presto! You’ve made your image now exactly 75% of the available width of the main post column. The height will auto-adjust, keeping the original proportions of your image. Or you can use 90%, 50%, whatever you want. As long as it’s less than 101%, you’re fine.

Hope that helps!

First of all, I can see arguments for both sides, as probably 90% of guilds in the world will have seen somebody join, get geared up, and leave for a more progressed guild. That’s why there are probationary periods.

On the other hand, giving the rogue that bow is kinda like giving all your cloth drops to a resto druid – sure they can use it, but somebody else can use it much better. Whether or not you have the guy on farm, you are still gimping your raid, at least short term, by not giving the bow to the class that will use it 100% more of the time than the rogue will.

The only other point I have to mention is that if somebody has been raiding with a guild for a few months, sharing the pain of the wipes on progression nights, cracking jokes over vent in the quiet times, putting in the research time and farming the consumables… how have they not earned the trust of the guild leader or loot council? What would it take to get accepted into that guild?

I agree 100%. This point should have been absolutely crystalline in its clarity as a FACT.

Note that I said “should have been.”

Yeah, I got told to “STFU” and I was called a lot of things for agreeing with this point – namely, a “flaming moron” and an “asshole,” among them. I actually had a guy in the Comments space stalk me across several different Replies just so he could remind me how stupid I am.

I swear to God … If I wanted to see the level of idiocy that prevails in that Comments section, I could watch Congressional video coverage on C-SPAN. As it is I get demeaned enough IRL; I hardly need a bunch of illogical spoil-sports spouting the same crap. :P

From what I can tell, what it does is create a 0-pixel-wide, transparent “wall” stretching horizontally at the point on the page where the code takes place. Everything beyond that, coding-wise, gets shoved underneath.

Course, all this assumes that neither Myze nor Phaelia know what they’re talking about. Ignore me.

Horsepucky. Chances are good that guild won’t survive to the end of Wrath. They’re not encouraging new people to stay on with their cronyism, because apparently if you weren’t with them since Kara you don’t get loot priority. No mention of any pre-BC raids because, most likely, this guild didn’t exist to do them then.

Admittedly I don’t know the guild in question and they may have gotten world/server-first Ragnaros kills. Who knows. Who really cares, because that would only serve to underscore my point.

I’m glad the rogue got it. He’d been with the guild for two years (”since we wiped on Moroes”), always shows up to raids and is a very good long-standing member. The two hunters were relatively new (one just a few months), supposedly the other one was on probation and they’d already given another hunter the bow from a previous drop.

Now… is it a “hunter weapon”? Sure. Of course, it’s a bow. But does that make it *automatically* go to the hunters?

The guild is progressing fine since it’s clear that they have Kil’Jaedan on farm, so the argument of they are “gimping their raid” doesn’t hold water.

In the end, it was the guild’s Loot Council’s decision and the fact that the hunters /gquit and have gone and QQ’d on every possible forum shows what kind of people they are.
