Loot Council is aids.
What a noob!!!
I wouldn’t join a guild that was this anal over drops. The game already has a need/greed/pass system. I would roll need on stuff I intend to use and roll greed on stuff I just want to sell. I pass if I want someone else to get a drop. I expect everyone else to do the same.
If a guild doesn’t like that, I wouldn’t join it.
A few times I’ve grouped up with randos for dungeons I’ve met people whining about boss drops before we even go in. I find that annoying. Stop whining and roll on what you want. If you don’t get it, try again.
Then you’ll never be in a good guild. None of them just roll off raid items.

Ninja looters are why no guilds use the need/greed/pass roll system.
That, and maybe hunters needing on everything. 
i think anyone who makes drama over loot during their very first raid with a new guild is someone most guild leaders would rather not have around.
also, if you’re still using low dps blue weapons in BWL, that screams a general lack of effort and preparation that you can only blame yourself for. Your lack of preparation doesnt entitle you to loot before others.
This is one of the (many) reasons that 40 player raids are garbage.
You shouldn’t need the coordinated time commitment of 39 other players in order to experience content in a game where you are inevitably surrounded by massively insecure manchildren.
There’s nothing you should have done differently, it’s just an inevitable result of companies needing to profit off of a toxic playerbase.

How is this any different than needing 24 other players? Raiding in wow is a team sport, you cant do it solo. This mentality is the same mess that brought us retail and the horrors of personal loot.

I literally explained it in the very same post. Coordinating an increasing number of people becomes exponentially more difficult.
A smaller raid size wouldnt have changed the outcome, though. You should never expect loot, let alone loot of that caliber during your first raid with a new team.
Are you acknowledging my point or just moving the goal post?
I’m not really sure what your point was, if I’m being honest. It seemed to be a complaint about needing to work as a team with 39 other people, and accusing random players of being ‘insecure manchildren’ because they didnt award a weapon to a dude who gquit in his first raid over loot.

If you don’t think a person is allowed to leave a guild AFTER completing a raid, having taken nothing away from the guild, without being blacklisted… I don’t see what there is to discuss.
I mean… i think he got blacklisted because he started to talk smack on the guild in a public channel after not being awarded an item he really didn’t have any claim to.

If you’re joining a casual raiding guild that uses loot council, then you should reconsider. But I guess you figured this out the hard way.
The rest of his gear is irrelevant. Was the weapon an upgrade or not? If this guy is consistently showing up to their raids, he’s a safe investment. As a new player attending your first raid, you’re still a risk. I can see why they would give the weapon to him for the good of the raid. On the other hand, if it was for offspec purposes, then I can see why you’re pissed off.
Fair enough. I guess they failed to fully communicate loot rules to you when you joined. Next time, try to find a guild with rules that are in line with your expectations.
That’s what the “ignore” function is for. His threat is empty, BTW. No guild is going to take input from a guild that’s as incompetent as you described seriously. If this comes up at any point, just explain your side of the story.
Probably the same thing, if the situation was exactly as you described. However, I suspect that there’s more to the story than you’re letting on. I typically join guilds long before raiding with them, so I doubt I would ever find myself in this situation.
I’m not sure why you think that’s an appropriate reason to blackball him? You may not agree with him but unless you think he’s lying this story is pretty cut and dry as to who is the a hole
Sometimes you run into weirdos, classic is all about choosing who you want to play with and who you don’t want to play with, and I definitely wouldn’t want to play with these kinds of guilds.
This. Deviate Delight is a very small community and most of us have been playing together for a year now under the same handful of guild tags. This is true for alliance, but it is even more true for horde on the server, where the community is even smaller. If some new transfer who nobody recognizes goes in a public channel and starts bad-mouthing a guild that everyone has known and respected since day 1 on the server, yeah, they aren’t going to be received too well by the rest of the community. It wouldn’t even take Purge telling anyone else to ignore him, they would automatically just think, wow, who is this rando beefing with Purge over loot drama in world chat? Let’s avoid this drama queen. This isn’t a megaserver where you can just disappear into the crowd and OP learned this the hard way.

This is the most “I love the way boot leather tastes” post I have read all day.
Except that loot council doesn’t even come close to resembling guaranteed pay so what you’re saying is categorically false.
