I do not want to join your guild’s Discord to kill Onyxia. She’s a loot piñata. Just inspect me like we’ve done in every version of Classic. The Rhok’delar on my Hunter should infer I’m at least somewhat competent.
I don’t want to join one of your 7 voice channels, either. I don’t need instructions for not standing in breath, this game is 20 years old.
I don’t want to sign-up to your raid-roster and fill out a SR list. Reset is twice a week, just roll the loot off XD It’s not that serious.
No, I don’t want to join your guild after the run. I have a guild, hence the name under my name. We just don’t always do both lockouts every week.
Can we please just stop with this “no Discord no loot” thing? If I suck that bad AFTER we kill the boss, you can ignore my rolls.
You guys are out here putting in more effort than Cataclysm PUGs… lol.

Nobody’s asking you to talk. Just listen for callouts.
If someone doesn’t want to get on disc it indicates that they’re a noob or someone who will ignore mechanics. They also are more likely to die from some random thing that was called out in voice but not typed.
Its like if someone shows up to a job interview in a tank top. Sure you don’t need a suit, but I ain’t gonna hire you if you wear a tank top to the interview. Just shows a lack of effort.

If someone asks me to get into discord for Ony/ world bosses it is a huge indicator that they are a noob.
This is exactly the issue, a guild that is pugging is garbage anyways, so who wants to have a simulated job interview with 80 IQ morons over a 20 year old video game.

I disagree about the “guild bad if they gotta pug” but only because random life BS gets in the way sometimes, but other than that i agree with everything else.
I dont join voice unless its a run with guildies, and even then the only time i feel compelled to yap is when i watch a guildie fall into lava

Why not raid with a guild then you can ignore pugs
We have pugs in our Ony/WB runs but not in MC. Not everyone can make Thursday or Saturday so we usually have about 5 pugs for those. Not gonna ruin everyone’s experience cause you’re shy.
The other day I was pugging with no disc, and the raid kept wiping. Once we gave up, I joined one with disc and we 1 shot it. The raid leader was awesome and his pep talk at the beginning got us all fired up.
If you can’t be in there to just hear what we’re talking about, we’re gonna take someone who we can confirm will at least hear what the raid lead is instructing.

Not being able to down ony with 15 people is yikes.
Needing the full 20 in discord in a fight with 1 mechanic is an even bigger yikes.
Well you don’t have to come if that’s too much for you. We’ve never tried with 15 but I bet we could do it if we tried.
If you’re killing it without disc and finding groups with disc then that’s great. We just aren’t gonna take you if you’re not gonna be there to listen to instructions.
Only people we’ve ever had that don’t use disc… its like oh why did so and so die immediately? Oh they’re not in disc.

Weird comparison. I’m not showing up for a job interview, I’m participating in a boss kill with 3 or fewer mechanics.
My EFFORT is determined by how I play the game and do my role effectively while paying attention to mechanics.
Exactly. What callouts are even needed to be shouted on Discord? She just breathes fire, the rest is tank & spank.

Some idiot overdoes it on threat trying to parse and risks overtaking the tank.
Some other idiot unga bungas and gets tail swiped into the whelp cave and now youve got 30 whelps beelining for the healers.
Laughing at the goon with zero positional awareness that eats a cleave and explodes.
Stuff like that. Its not for whats going right. Its for when something goes wrong due to human error and/or stupidity.

Make sure you tell the raid leader you will refuse to go into discord when you ask for an invite.
Should save a lot of headache on both sides.

That’s why we have keyboards. Tell the raid to focus DPS on the add on pull to give MT time to position. This is self-explanatory at this point, I haven’t really met a lot of people playing SoD that can both do enough DPS to rip threat and doesn’t understand how threat works.
By then it would be too late. We want to know before we start that we’re bringing someone worth bringing. Someone who doesn’t want to listen to coms isn’t worth bringing.
No one is asking you to talk, just to listen in case there’s something important.
If its too much to ask, then find another raid that doesn’t care.

you dont have to join a pug that requires discord or no loot.
but you wouldnt want to put forth the effort of running a pug yourself so you take what you can get in that situation.
both of these are your choice just like its the choice of the raid lead (who is trying to make a successful run) to require discord.

All I’m hearing is you want to play with 19 because I’m definitely going to /leave on pull.
You’re not helping your case
It’s hilarious that you think joining a random discord channel is a sign that a player knows how to play this game.
This game has two button rotations and bosses that were designed for literal children.
