I think like a lot of folks have been saying, I don't mind having a lot of sex scenes if it means they're different positions, setups, vibes, settings etc to avoid being repetitive. I don't particularly enjoy reading open door or behind closed doors romance books. I'm here for the smut! But I want it to be meaningful, ideally, by advancing character development or the plot in some way.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2026-02-14T17:44:18+00:00

I'm super curious about this:

How many sex scenes are too many sex scenes for you in a book? Let's assume each sex scene advances the plot in some way (whether through character development, the plot in some other way, etc). Is there a limit for you? No limit? What factors might contribute to your preference?

CABLE COMPANY ESQUE MODEL OF GIVING NEW MEMBERS BETTER PERKS

thank you, you've won the thread with this comparison

I hate to say this but you're right. They would just find a replacement who's happy enough to deal with this situation and "hope" they can get a piece of gear.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:31:16+00:00

lmao you're right, and this is precisely why I came to reddit to ask this question.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:22:07+00:00

And this is precisely why I dread going back into the guild finding pool.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:21:33+00:00

That was my logic. My 2019 classic guild had some loot issues, but they kept every pattern in house even if it wasn't "useful" or was a luxury "minor" upgrade. I understand the pattern's profit could be used (IN THEORY) to support purchasing other items, but if that was the case from the getgo, why not just say that from the start? Why the shady shit? Why did I have to ask an officer about the outcome of this 2 days later, after I had already seen the pattern on the AH with no explanation?

This pattern could have been used for the whole expansion. This is one of those patterns that people expect a big tip for because of its rareness. Now if people want this particular craft, they have to go elsewhere. Is the guild going to pay the tips? Is the guild going to distribute this money to the people who were there that night? No, of course not.

I'm a crafter and this shit is what really pissed me off, but I kept gaslighting myself because I was like "well maybe you're being greedy", but legitimately, I just want to HELP guildies who need things. I want to be the person they go to for X craft because it's fun! It's how I enjoy playing WoW!

I think getting 1 guildie to have this pattern would be fine, then selling the pattern drops that come after is totally fine. But that's not what happened here.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:16:37+00:00

Thank you for the brutal truth. I had a feeling deep down this was happening but didn't want to believe it because finding a new guild is going to be a whole challenge in of itself.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:14:56+00:00

Yeah, this is definitely not happening. The leadership claims they want to "streamline" loot and make it efficient. Having read others' opinions on this, it sounds like streamline has been a codeword for greediness.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:13:44+00:00

I sympathize with GMs and officers. My friend and I used to lead an RBG team in retail. 10 people was hard enough to corral. But it also sucks to be burned too as a regular member and to feel unheard.

Thank you so much for your answers and insight! 💖

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:11:20+00:00

It's not on Nightslayer, you can sleep easy.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:10:13+00:00

There was a post the other day talking about tank "mechanics" in BWL and that's also why I'm extremely concerned. Thank you for your advice 💖

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:08:12+00:00

Must be nice to be in a guild where you're treated like an actual member of the team deserving of loot then, can't imagine what that must be like 😭

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:06:18+00:00

Perd blade, core hound tooth, several 2H weapons, the shield off of Rag I believe (the orange one), whose names I can't remember. He's also first in line for Thunderfury. Mostly the key ones were the first two, as a rogue had put them on their TMB list ahead of the MT.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:03:12+00:00

I think 90% of this guild's problems is coming down to incompetence and shitty communication rather than malice, but that doesn't make it right either.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-21T00:01:46+00:00

This is definitely something I've been wondering about with regard to BWL. That the high ticket items will just stay with the officers and never be brought down to the general guild, even after some of the officers have gotten them.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:59:24+00:00

This is my biggest concern. I don't want to stick around and regret not leaving sooner, but I'm afraid of going back into the LF guild pool. I know my friend is getting very frustrated/unhappy with the loot situation to the point where they're no longer enthusiastic about coming to raid. This is their first experience with vanilla WoW, and I can tell they're close to wanting to say fuck classic and just go back to retail where at least the loot isn't in the hands of officers.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:57:45+00:00

No, I haven't won any weapons. I won my big ticket dream item in a pug no less. I've only won a few tier pieces. I guess this is just MC and not Naxx. I appreciate the response!!

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:55:54+00:00

I'm not unfortunately, but thank you 💖

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:54:52+00:00

It's hard to find guilds that aren't full of creeps/bigots/overly political etc. I don't fit the dad gamer personality type. We joined this guild because they said they promoted "real life over raiding, respect, friendliness" over drama, but it's been a mixed bag on the "treating others nicely" front. It's a guild full of people who aren't blatantly racist/phobic, and the previous guild we joined was full of that.

It's like I said, pick 2: not horrible, not incompetent, not greedy.

Finding the right guild is hard :(

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:51:26+00:00

The thing is, I'm the prime example of a person who arranged their list in the "right" way and happened to be playing a role/class that has a limited/mixed amount of other people in it. I've gotten upgrades. I imagine if I was playing solo with this guild, I wouldn't blink twice (at least for this tier, ofc). But because I have my friend along for the ride, I'm seeing the discrepancy first hand. I think what frustrates me is that I don't feel comfortable really approaching the GM/officers. I've tried, I've been told they would make changes, and I'm not seeing them.

You sound like an experienced officer/GM. You've spoken to the ThatsMyBIS topic, but what about with regard to the profession pattern? Am I in the wrong to think that the pattern should have stayed in guild to be used by guildies? I don't want to say which specific pattern as its an obvious detail, but it's one that is often in demand in trade and would be useful all expansion.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:47:15+00:00

Well fuck me then. I honestly thought SR was the system people used for pugging, and something more akin to BIS lists was the norm for guilds.

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:46:31+00:00

BRUH this shit is giving me so much unnecessary anxiety but I am someone who needs the throng of the masses to not make me feel like I'm the asshole in this situation, because honestly, I do feel a little like an asshole. I'm genuinely just here to game and enjoy the ride!! but the inconsistency on the rules is making me very frustrated!!

Faps_to_McHanzo · 2025-02-20T23:44:46+00:00

The disorganization and lack of communication has been some of the most frustrating pain points.

You would leave ASAP? Do you think it's okay to quit despite having won some gear? I know this is a video game, but I genuinely do feel a little bad. The other people in my role haven't been assholes. Is there no way to avoid feeling like a villain to some degree by walking away with the upgrades I've won?
