I tend not to doubt Synthypoo, but i don't recall being guilded with Azelma unless he was super inactive at the time.

Lot more FUBU bros are alliance or were. I enjoyed my time with Tuhl and Grimsby tearing up BGs.

What could have been =[


There are all different types of players though.

The number one factor should be similar objectives. Player skill, gear, raid times, etc all of those are of secondary importance.

Casuals will not do well in a guild oriented towards server firsts, and players with a drive to be competitive in pve will not be happy in a casual guild. Same goes for players who prefer pve over pvp and vice versa.

I agree that we don't share objectives but I don't agree that's a problem with everyone being under the same roof. I think dissimilar players in the same guild creates synergy, and I also firmly believe that was one of the reasons that, contrary to popular belief, Vanilla was successful: Vanilla was, in its own way, the most casual expansion ever.

It would mean that the guild would have to recruit massively to fulfill any/all of its objectives, though, diffusing and diluting the FUBU influence. I don't see that as a problem. More friends are good!

Game went from "mite be cool" to "this is fucking retarded" every time I leveled and did way less damage because having a shitload of haste. I swam around Vash'jir for 2 weeks just killing people near quest hubs because I didn't want to level up anymore.

I wouldn't call me "competent," at least not as far as WoW is concerned.

I remember just what your level of skill was. You obviously haven't logged in for quite a while let alone tried LFD/LFR.

I may also be overly harsh on myself since all my "WoW-Pals" were actually good. I was a clicker, though. Maybe if I ever come back, I'll retrain myself to use the mouse for movement and the keyboard for spells.

That's a good point, and for a while I had been mulling over the idea of the (relatively) new raid lockout changes, where instead of being locked to an ID, you are locked out to a specific boss.

I think one thing that might be worth looking into would be a 10 man raiding guild with it's core being comprised of FUBU members, though we'd have an application and remain open to transfers as well as other players on the server.

My thinking was that if we over recruited for a 10 man guild, yet had a clause that required people to have one alt of a different role, we could have 3 or 4 different raid times which would make raiding something you do because you enjoy it and want to, not a chore that you log on for and then log off. For example, I work overnight shift, Usd will be required to work a variety of shifts, Azelma might be stuck on a bus somewhere, etc.

All the exact details would be worked out, though this would also let people raid with a variety of people, some of whom would vary by week and even by raid.


I'd resub for this, honestly.

I think you are missing my meaning.

"when I say jump off this platform, jump off this platform"
"...jump off the platform"
"why didnt you jump"
"yo"
"dude"
"we need you to do this"
"dude are you socially impaired"
"FU ASSHOLE I DO DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO UR NOT MY MUM I FKED UR MUMS ARSE"

That's the thing with skill and WoW. It really is not a hard game to be "decent" at.

I was never extremely skilled - could be out DPS'd and healed all day by better players than me - though I did work on rotations, use mods, etc. to make myself better (seriously don't get the impression I didn't try to learn from others).

However, I would always follow directions...jump when told, stand where I was told to stand, and if I ever fucked up, I would own up to it and would never let the same mistake happen again.

Aestu, I remember coming to a few of your pugs now and then, I was very forgettable because I didn't do the best DPS or healing, but I also didn't screw up and wipe the raid.

I was never the best, but was never even close to the worst.



That's all raiding in WoW was. Can you keep your head down and do your job? If you can..."here, have some loot."
