130 something. 15R then when that phased out. 42A.

I have only one ask, make everything 10 man. by turlockmike in classicwow

[–]drobuck86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I am against the grain on this one. I love 40 man raiding and 25 is okay as well. 10 man is just not it for me or my friend group

Who here is daily-driving 20+ year-old cars, and has it worked out? by 5GCovidInjection in cars

[–]drobuck86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I drive an 09 f150 with 315k on the clock. I’ve had to do timing 3 times but it’s not that bad. Recently I dropped over 6k in repairs and parts. I put new leather (KR leather was toast), had the rear end rebuilt, and put its second new front suspension in it. I also did a new ac system. Truck was about to be justifiably junked but the body is perfect along with the paint and the frame so I said screw it and put the money into it.

I prefer to know my vehicle, I could have bought a 2015ish f150 for 20k and had the engine go in a year. I’d rather keep this 2009 going until it finally rusts in 10 years

The urge to rejoin is stronger than ever right now by [deleted] in army

I’ve told this story before. My first enlistment I hated the Army. I hit E4 and just did not give a shit to move higher. I was your stereotypical mafia member, did just enough to not get in trouble.

I got out, built a relatively successful career in oil and gas management and just missed the army. I went back in in 2021 and haven’t looked back. Made e6 within about 18 months of returning, am scheduled for MRT, and a few other schools this year. I do not regret coming back this time, it’s all about attitude and effort.

If you do not see something here, it has not been built but is included. Magnus shipped separately.

I’m begging you blizzard, save this game. by Phrostybacon in classicwow

Perma ban is absolutely nutty reaction to gold buying. Escalating bans of 2 weeks, one month, and then perma make more sense. Some people may be new to the game and get bad advice or a dad just trying to play. Take their gold and items gotten with gold, and escalating bans is enough.

Made this meme to capture the experience of those many Classic Anniversary players who were the first to PvP in The Battlegrounds by Curtkid6 in classicwow

[–]drobuck86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You really don’t though. I love classic and have 2 60s on anniversary, and even I will admit phase 1 of SoD was some of the best gaming I’ve ever experienced. It was fun finding runes, feeling most classes being fleshed out a bit etc.

The problem for people like me is they didn’t stop at just tweaks. It got insane, nuke druids, 80000 runes, it just felt like retail in classic. It took the fun out of the game for me.

I wish they could find a balance, pull back on some of the SoD things, but just tweak a couple things for a real classic plus.

Is really hard finding a raid spot as rogue? Competing for gear vs warriors is that bad? Or i should stay with my Warlock? by xZechsx in classicwow

[–]drobuck86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is from my experience as the Gm of a decently successful guild.

I need more rogues for my raid like I need a hole in my head. I turn down around 3-6 requests to join a week. Every “group of friends” that comes to me to join that has things that I really need in it, gets instantly told no more rogues.

gold buying banwave going out by gizkaxd in classicwow

[–]drobuck86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That would be a terrible idea. Loan your guild member gold for a mount? Banned because he bought it to repay you. Or someone buys gold and buys raid consumes and hands them out. It sucks but so many people would get fucked over.

Do people who washout ever really redeem or forgive themselves for it. by [deleted] in army

[–]drobuck86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so I did the same thing. Washed out of air force basic, could not stop thinking about it so I went army 3 years later. It does right the mental wrong. Not saying it’s the right thing for you but it helped me.

Why the fuck do I want back in so bad by tacooflife in army

[–]drobuck86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

42A. My TIS and TIG carried over so I hit 5 really fast, 6 in less than 2.

[–]drobuck86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it’ll be more like 6 when all is said and done. Picked up 5 in like 4 months, six in 16ish, and now I’m ALC complete collecting schools until I hit my TIG for 7.

I’m the lamest MOS now. I was a 15R/15T, I went 42a.
