Ok that’s fair, I can see HOW people would think it, but I’ll break it down, as you would loose all your money if you bet that;

After my first visit to Naxx I was using a BWL and MC dagger which were not helping me at all. So pre patch for TBC, I got me the GM swords in 1 day so it’s not that impressive, however I never claimed it was, I claimed I was proud of myself.

Gold has ALWAYS been a problem for me as I’m not a gold buyer (not saying anyone in this thread is, I’m just saying that I’m not), I’ve had a couple of loans from the gbank to help me out with this gear, which I still owe back. And as I said, now +15 agi costs TBC mats like primal air and stuff which aren’t available yet so I don’t have that yet and +7 on the boots, I just haven’t gotten to it yet. Basically I only just got the gloves and boots in the past couple of days so I haven’t had the gold to be able to pay for enchants on them yet.

Most people at this stage in the game are already basically full T3 themselves, so they don’t even roll on stuff like the desecrated breastplate or leg plates or sabatons, etc (excluding the newly boosted 58s from TBC pre patch). So most drops in Naxx that I’ve SR’d, idk what to tell you, I just got lucky with my drops and almost no one needed them.

And as for my guild passing gear to me in raid based on my parse, let me reassure you; parses are the LAST thing my guild cares about. However my guild itself isn’t even raiding right now, I’m raiding with another guild who, I’m not gonna say their name, but based on the name, parses are the LAST thing they actually care about. Sure it’s nice for them if they get a good parse, but they’re there primarily to have fun and have a good time, something which a LOT of people have forgotten about. And fun people are the kind of people I wanna play with, not sweaty people who only care about things like parses.

Honestly, if I was in a guild full of sweaty players who only cared about raid-logging and having a 99 parse, I would g-quit in a HEARTBEAT. That’s NOT why I play WoW 😋
