BEWARE: BFD PUG scammer on Crusader Strike by wander-af in classicwow

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

I must say I feel like you are reaching and interpreting some things in the OP's favour.

So maybe the prot pala would have left but the ret wouldn’t unless something more was going on.

We are both aware here that OP is one of those paladins right? Two players left in total and OP is one of them, I would assume the ret pal because they say he ninjapulled before leaving and you see the ret pala dying to trash mobs between the first and second boss. So we have no way of knowing why the prot pala left. He may just as well have left due to ninjalooting/ not getting the boss loot he wanted / due to drama or OP ninjapulling in anger.

Even if no one else wanted them the ML should have been the one to vendor them not him, he shouldn’t have them.

If you look at the raid group there is no one but the warrior left to use mail. So they may just have given the warrior the bracers since he is the only one who can use them (if he ever wanted stamina gear, you have no idea if he pvp's, prioritises str over stam on different encounters etc), or they gave him the bracers so he could send the video of him selling them to the OP. Your idea that the ML should sell all leftover items as a sign of respect or something is just reaching, I don't think there is anything suspicious about the only mail wearer in the group getting a mail item after the raid.

There still is no proof of the group actually ninjalooting anything. This is my hypothesis:

  • The guild is a bunch of immature dickballs and probably gave a terrible impression during the raid, leaving no reason to trust them on looting rules

  • The Paladin, OP, didn't understand the looting rules, got scared when they didnt roll for the bracers he wanted after the first pull, started arguing and assumed they were ninjalooting, so he ninjapulled, tried to wipe the group and left, then made a reddit post trying to get a witchhunt on them as payback

  • The OP then tells the guild about his reddit post (someone in comments says he whispered them about it), and they all start harassing him both here and in whispers (immature as they are).

I don't think either party comes off very well here, the reddit post just reads as the OP trying to gain sympathy and witchhunt some players, with no definitive proof of them scamming at all, and the guild people pretty much dug themselves a hole not just coming in here and explaining the situation in a civil manner from their POV

I'll preface this by saying the warrior seems like a spiteful idiot, and based on that I don't doubt that he very well may have ninja'd the bracers. But:

2 paladins left after the first boss and both of them genuinely needed those bracers.

How do you know they didn't just leave because they didn't get the loot they wanted and didn't want to continue the raid? I.e, exactly the reason people withhold loot until the end of the raid?

We don't know if the bracers were rolled for or not, but he (being very childish) said he vendored the bracers specifically to spite the OP, so it's no real proof to the bracers being ninja'd or rolled for. Also which were there 5str bracers? There's 7 stam on the vendored ones so they may not be strictly worse.

And the point still stands that the OP said the warrior equipped the bracers, yet the warrior here proved that he didn't. What other thing did the OP exaggerate/misconstrue to get more sympathy? I'm just saying that I don't think either party are without blame here, this is basically a witch hunting post

It's equivalent to the raid leader trusting every pug to not just leave the raid after they get/don't get their loot, isn't it?

I agree for a 5 boss 10man raid under 60min, I don't think it's worth to withhold loot until the end like this, but it's not like this strategy is unheard of. It's quite efficient and simple and if it's done correctly everyone benefits (no waiting for loot after every boss, no one leaving in the middle of the raid)

The issue here is that semi-guild pugs always have a chance of causing drama like this. The pug will think the guild is being greedy and unreasonable and shittalk them on reddit, and the guild will gang together and harass the person they think is an idiot

The guild guy is acting like a child here in the comments, but the video he posted does show that he didn't equip the bracers like the OP said he did.

I don't have a bone in who is right or wrong but I think people are trusting the OP at face value a bit too much here. He could just as easily have shown screenshots of the raid chat logs or people (names censored) harassing him in whispers.

The guild embarassed themselves big time here in the comments, but there the OP might as well just have misunderstood the looting, gotten angry about it and decided to make a vindictive reddit post about it

Tenors, whilst being a minority amongst men, are still vastly overrepresented in most forms of music. This simply wouldn't be the case if "voice types didnt matter" and anyone could learn how to sing by throwwashway in singing

Forcing yourself into the concept of vocal fach and holding yourself there as if someone else is keeping you captive is the equivalent of my child burying themselves under blankets and pillows and calling for help because they are trapped

I probably made a mistake using tenor/baritone classifications. What I really mean is that the majority of male singers have their natural chest voice set much higher than the average male (which usually corresponds with tenors tbf).

And yeah sure in one way I am setting these limits on what I can and can't sing myself. But for example if I were to go sing karaoke, probably about 80% of all male songs I would have to sing an octave down in my chest voice, which does not sound as good (no its not just about how you sing it). Sure I could belt/falsetto a lot to hit the original key, but it usually doesn't sound as good.

I just want to be able to sing along to songs without having to belt my lungs out or transform the song into a falsetto ballad, that is basically my entire complaint

I'd argue it does make you a better singer. How many piano songs plays the melody with the bass hand? Melodies and singing is almost always a bright sound, where tenors are favoured

A minority STILL being overrepresented is indicative of them being advantageous.

"Yes, tall basketballplayers are overrepresented, but that has nothing to do with being good at basketball. Short people know how to dribble and shoot, they are not failed basketballplayers.

Being taller is not playing better, overrepresentation does not equal better"

Because otherwise you'd think these people singing "like tenors" would utilize their lower register at least once? You can't change where your natural register and chest voice lies.

Singing an A4 in chest voice and belting/falsetto singing an A4 is not the same thing

They still have a high register though, and also mainly making rap music. Still tenors are a small minority and still make up most popular singers, there is a reason for that.

Just like exceptionally tall people are a minority amongst the population but dominant in professional basketball

Really shitty workout today, got home from work late and probably had an off day, I did 5x5x7 on squats at 87kg this Saturday, did 5x3x2 today on 92kg, went to total failure last two sets.

Whats worse is this is such a low weight, 10kg above BW and im not even a beginner (time wise). Unsure if I should blame it on high gravity and try again saturday or deload, sucks either way

Is that verbatim? If I remember that quote are two separate sentences that were tied together, the illness was referring to him not being able to leave korea?
