How To Lose Friends and Alienate Raiders

August 03, 2010 :: Posted by - Plectical :: Category - Raiding

This is a quick guide on how to be a loathsome raid member and alienate yourself from your fellow raiders. Hopefully these few quick tips can help you infuriate every player around you!

  1. Contribute as little as possible to the raid: Whether you’re the tank/healer/or just regular Old Joe DPS, you are way too important to follow kill orders or any instructions that are coming from your raid leader. In fact, I encourage you to mute vent and listen to Metal as loud as possible. Remember, boss fights are no exception. Strive for mediocrity. After all with the 30% buff, you don’t need to do a damn thing. Remember, if you die, the raid should easily be able to 24 man it.
  2. Roll on every piece of loot that drops. Don’t feel bashful about being worthless to the raid, you are entitled to roll and get every piece of loot that drops in the raid. Loudly announce your intentions for the loot that dropped over vent and moan/groan/scream loudly when you are out rolled. However, just cause you didn’t roll high enough to get the loot doesn’t mean that you lost. Petition the player that got the loot via whisper, informing them that the piece is a much better fit for you and complain loudly about the current loot structure over as many raid channels as possible. If you still don’t get the loot, continue to follow rule #1.
  3. Conduct yourself as if you are an officer. Rank is for suckers. You know exactly what everyone should be doing at all times and you should let them know it. Give advice to players of your same class who have been consistently outperforming you for months (you should have ample time as you’re lying on your back during a boss fight). Don’t fret about gumming up Vent with advice and calling out specific players who you think are under performing, the raid as a whole will definitely benefit from your soap boxing .

Follow all of the steps above and you should be the single most hated person in your raid.

    4. Sign up as 2nd tank for a raid your guild hasn’t done in forever, proceed to get barfy after the first boss, and make your friend tell the RL you have to leave :( I’m a bad guidie.
