Over the last couple of weeks my guild has been having some problems. We’re stuck in progression right now and it isn’t going to fix itself any time soon. When this happens I know that the best thing to do is just be patient. Eventually new recruits will join, raiders will get better gear and learn the fights, and we’ll start progressing again.
But every time this happens to a guild, people freak out. “Boo hoo! This guild sucks! I’m taking my toys and going home!” Grow up, you fucking poofs.
The main complaint seems to be that I haven’t been spending enough time in the game. For the last couple of months, I log in just before our raids, and log out right after. I’m busy with work and other real life stuff like writing this incredibly awesome blog, so I don’t have time to doing the same boring ass pvp, instances, and daily quests which I’ve done a thousand times. I’ve also missed a couple of raids. And when I’m not there raids go to shit. I’ve apparently built a cult of personality instead of a raid guild.
I love how everyone feels like I owe them a certain amount of time each week. When did the guild become my whiny girlfriend? “We don’t spend any quality time together anymore? Don’t you love me?” No. I don’t love you. Oh, and you’re fat. Get me a fucking beer. Fatty.
Seriously though, grow the fuck up. So I’m not in the game 24/7. How exactly does that hurt you? Is there some quest I’m not aware of that requires me being online for you to complete. I’m the raid leader. That means I lead raids. I’m not your cyber buddy. We’re not friends. You don’t even know my real name. I have real friends, in real life, that I have real fun with.
Yes, I am also the guild master, but the guild has good officers, that do a great job running the guild day to day so I can focus on raids. That’s why guilds have officers.
But, apparently that isn’t enough. I’ve had several people tell me that the reason they liked being in this guild is how much fun it is to play with me? Why is that? I’m always pissed. I get pissed off when I’m doing quests with a group and people lag behind. I chew people out when they suck at pvp. I make people cry for god’s sake! I’m starting to think I’ve got a guild full of masochists. “Yeah! I’ve been bad! Tell me what a bad raider I am!”
Or… maybe they’re all laughing at me when I blow up. Bastards. I’m on to you!

Raid leader: Rogue, because of you we have wiped 3 times for no reason. You’ve broken cc every time and push your threat so high you pulled off the tank. So here’s what i want to you to. I want you to go into your garage, Find something sharp, hedge clippers , AND CRIT YOURSELF IN THE FACE WITH IT!
Rogue Leaves the raid.
Rogue signs offline.
It’s one of those few times i truly wish we were recording the raid. I couldn’t stop laughing for about the next half hour.

I have read through your posts, and as a fellow raid leader in T6 content, I can honestly say you are a whiney bitch and possibly the biggest Maddox wannabe I have ever seen. It would seem the fact that your guild has made it to T6 content is nothing short of a miracle with the way you lead raids and your overall whiney-baby attitude. Maybe you should take an anger management course and come back with some tact and actual leadership skills. Go ahead and lead like that in the military and that’s when you get what we call ‘friendly fire’.

Nice flame! Judging my abilities without ever seeing them in game combined with a ‘clever’ methaphor (who the fuck is Maddox), followed up by a death threat from the safety of your anonymous computer. You sir, are a winner.

Death threat? Guy simply told you that if you actually were within reach and not behind your computer in a faraway land, people would queue up to kick your teeth in, because majority of people do not like people like yourself. And yes, people in the army would probably shoot you. I know I’d like to introduce my AK to your whiney ass.

Normally I don’t go for blind dates, but if you’re AK really wants to meet me, I’m up for it! I don’t do anal on the first date though, so introduce it to me, not my ass okay?
Seriously though, when you make a statement like this do you actually believe it. Do you sit there thinking, “I would totally shoot that guy because I don’t like his blog! I would shoot him in the face!” Seems like a pretty strong reaction. By the way, I’m running about 97% positive comments to 3% morons like you. So it looks like a majority of people do like people like me. You and the other 2% can get together and work out your strange anal gun fetishes! Have fun!

An AK? 47 or 74? Please only middle eastern terrorists and petty dictators use AK’s. The rest of the free world use M-16’s C-7’s or some make and model of FN.

I’m currently enlisted in the United States Army and rest assured, we do not even use AK-47s. Do your homework and try not to speak for the rest of us.
This guy is funny, I thoroughly enjoy reading what he posts and albeit months late, since I’m benefitting from reading his rants, I believe I oughta defend him.
If you look REAL hard, you can see that the URL of this blog is “theangryraidleader.com”, and nobody is forcing you to read his entries. So fuck off please.
