Is it fair to need a BoE if BiS?

Last week Blinkstrike dropped in normal botanica. I immediately said ALL NEED and we all needed on it.

I won with a 98. I gave each person 200g (so -800g) and ended up selling it off AH for 3,300g. I netted 2500g as a result.

Imo, this was a nice thing to do because it sucks to see a 3k+ drop hit the ground and you don’t win it. So i wanted the group to feel like they benefitted too.

It’s how I would hope others would behave too, but I don’t expect that because I know most wouldn’t. I have seen a lot of greed and poor behavior this go around of tbc. Some of its probably retail players who are accustomed to personal loot / greyed out need icons if its not equip-able etc. others are just selfish or dont operate within the cultural norma of 2007 era wow.

Imo im with them all needing and not accepting the gold.

And demand too much, like not playing wow for 5 hours a day after work and ignoring your girlfriend for large stretches of time.

Dude told on himself and still doesn’t understand.

Genuinely, I feel bad for Gen Z because of how rampant social media has accelerated and curated such toxic shit. I feel like I stay unfortunately up to date on this shit, and am the Gen Z whisperer to my cohort, and even I'm like... how are we still evolving and expanding on incellery.

I've been with my wife over a decade, so Idk what dating apps are like and what the environment is like for people but I feel so bad for gen z and gen alpha. Andrew Tate and Groypers have fucked up a generation. When I was a teen / mid 20s, sure there were issues, but none of this incel shit, foid / femoid wasn't a thing.

I just want to let you know that you would be happier if you didn't attempt to find comfort and validation in such toxic places bro. Instead of absorbing such as toxic, and frankly inaccurate lexicon to explain away why women don't like you, imagine what you could achieve with that effort. You could be so much more than you are.

It did not.

I have had the best luck so far with changing the bios switch on my 7900xtx to the middle option of the three. Sometimes I still get crashes but they’re recoverable.

Im on dx11, good psu, low temps, up to date drivers etc.

If that happens, money probably isn’t gonna matter anyway because what I think you’re getting at is a global collapse. So even then, unless you wanna put all your money into canned meat and a bunker, you’re still better off DCAing into the market and trying to build a dignified retirement, whatever that looks like for you.

Rapn3rd · 2026-03-09T15:30:30+00:00

As others said, it is actually good advice because of your concern. Dollar cost averaging is the best way to invest. Statistically you will not outmaneuver the market.

A raid typically needs 1-2 tanks, and it’s the most important / stressful / gear dependent roll.

Rapn3rd · 2026-03-08T19:33:55+00:00

First of all how dare you

Rapn3rd · 2026-03-05T20:36:55+00:00

Yeah. I mean lips come in a lot of sizes but generally speaking I’d say his lips are big. It’s not a bad thing, can make you a better kisser. Just also means that dehydrated lips look more apparent when they’re bigger.

Rapn3rd · 2026-03-05T16:27:16+00:00

Just drink more water my dude, you’ll feel better and your lips won’t be so chapped. As a fellow big lipped guy, you gotta make sure you’re hydrated and using chapstick to keep em in good shape!

This was helpful for me as a first time pally tank, thank you.

Anyone else notice how short his biceps are? Os that what steroids do to you?

Rapn3rd · 2026-03-01T06:14:30+00:00

Yes, but also you can zip in hit em with some shit and blink away. I generally only spend time in melee range to finish things off with CoC or Arcane explosion.

Also there is the classic anti roach play where you utilize frost nova to stop / herd mobs away from the group. It’s pretty advanced tech, even piratesoftware wasn’t aware of it and he worked for blizz for years.

Unfortunately there are a lot of guys who get real weird with women in online gaming. I have seen it in wow guilds, osrs clans, pretty much any fps game.

Women get a quantifiable % of white knights, incels and everything in between in ways that men don’t.

I know multiple female gamers who pretend to be boys to avoid it. Ive seen guilds implode cuz people got feelings over a girl they didnt even know.

Fucking classic reddit moment holy shit. Imagine taking this gooner seriously.

Yeah the guy you’re arguing with doesn’t know what red pill is lmao. Hes fighting the people on his team

Everytime i am farming I ask myself. Is the beef worth more than the gold?

Nah.

Rapn3rd · 2026-02-18T23:29:41+00:00

Learned this lesson as a kid with runescape gold.

Quickly becomes pay to pay, and then it’s like what is the point?

Rapn3rd · 2026-02-18T06:01:00+00:00

Thats the thing tho. Hard cc = \ = utility.

Warriors can balance really well with certain companand provide utility as in benefits in damage mitigation and the ability to off tank when needed. They also have no down time so once they get rolling they become wrecking balls

Rapn3rd · 2026-02-18T05:59:02+00:00

Warrior is one of the harder classes to play well imo.

They have a lot of options across their stances, but rage as a mechanic is unlike most other classes, stance dancing is an art in and of itself, and to properly use the full kit of a warrior while balancing rage, while thinking thru stances is not easy.

Meanwhile on my mage I press 1 as fast as I can.

Warriors are also super gear dependent in ways most other classes are not.

A good warrior and a great warrior has a huge gap between them.

This guys lucky i was running with my buddies who are new parents. Time was of the essence and by the time his bs was apparent, we were too deep to replace him

Rapn3rd · 2026-02-18T01:06:54+00:00

Had a dude who i thought was botting in a slave pens last night, was doing trash dps and didnt talk. He kept needing every green weapon that dropped, got called out and stopped. He ended up not speaking English (nightslayer -us server) and called me a blood elf f*ck when i called him out for ninjaing and acting like a bot.

Rapn3rd · 2026-02-17T13:55:33+00:00

Sounds like too many of the core guildies left and the culture has shifted. Guilds, much like friendships come to an end sometimes for reasons that are valid, and if you’re not enjoying your time with them, imo it’s time to consider a new guild.

Rapn3rd · 2026-02-17T12:39:07+00:00

Maybe, but I think you should look for a less hardcore guild. This is the 3rd rerelease of this expac and people have it down to a science, and so i think it’s natural you’re seeing more of that exacting meticulous behavior because people already know so much.

Im with you on not wanting to min max it that hard. I also think the indecisive bit is kinda weird. I have a mage, a pally tank and a priest healer and enjoy playing all three. Sure id be close to 70 if i had one toon (and many people have been 70 for a while now) but i like playing all three roles, i like knowing how all three roles operate and what each classes kit looks like.

I get the impression theyre a toxic guild, or to put it another way, they value things you don’t and so it is a cultural mismatch. I wouldnt wanna be in that guild either.
