Why does anyone get butthurt over tanking as a service

good for you?

the point being that your “valued commodity” is valued at net zero. worthless. zilch.

you bring nothing special just by having a key or gear. as much as you think you are some gold star, you truly aren’t.

You’re lacking something up top aren’t ya bud?

“time is money”

yes… if only wow paid real money when mobs drop then maybe… just maybe you would have a leg to stand on… but what you are moaning about is literally pixels, and it’s laughable that you think somehow your pixels are better than mine…

Yeah, because you chose to state: “not to be forced to deal with mercenary little opportunitists who forgot or never knew the point of playing with others.”

I chose to correct you and state you honestly aren’t good enough of a player to throw around the idea that not playing with you is some glorious missed opportunity and gave logs as my reasoning for this conclusion.

Maybe you should look into uploading logs and correct it yourself. It’s really telling when you don’t know how the site works, it doesn’t have an armory to track, it requires data to be input which it parses from your combatlog in the raid.

Also let’s see, these parses were December 1. Yeah I don’t think you magically pulled any parses worth seeing on Ragnaros in the span of eight days. They’re likely either gray to low green judging by your averages.

I stated this above. You aren’t a good player, don’t pretend like you putting someone on ignore and them by extension never playing with you some glorious missed opportunity. You sound like the grade school kid with six friends who uninvites one from his birthday party because they said something mean to him one day.

Correct, it is a platform to show people that I am actually good at the game. Apply to any reasonable guild, they want parses. No high end raiding guild is going to take somebody that green parses.

Whereas with my parses I can likely apply to almost any guild and get an offer if they’re in the market for a competent rogue player if I wasn’t invested in my guild I’ve been with for years on private servers. It’s like having an impressive job resume for raiding.

You and I could apply to the same guild, they will take me every single time unless they do not need/want another rogue but desperately need a hunter. However if they just need a dps, yeah you’re outclassed.

And the better thing is, parses compare you strictly to your class and spec. So it isn’t like my parses are just better because I’m a rogue, you’re average best performance is 26th percentile for all hunters on Warcraftlogs. You’re better than 26% of hunter players, wow so good.

Like I said. I know my worth. I will surround myself with people good at the game. Most of the good players rolled either here or Herod for NA, a few on Skeram. Firemaw or Gehennas for EU, and no idea about Australia but probably the best druid I’ve played with plays Arugal.

I’m very unlikely to find players of my caliber playing on Deviate Delight or Heartseeker. I like being the big fish in a big pond, not a big fish in a very tiny pond.

UBRS door can’t be opened with a seaforium charge you dunce. There are two doors in the game you can’t open with engineering. Those are the Viewing Room Door in Scholomance because by design you need the Rattlegore key so you don’t skip half the dungeon, and UBRS door because it was by design meant to be opened with the ring which required a questline specifically designed around you doing a massive effort to unlock the best dungeon in the game.

And the questline isn’t something like “Oh bring me 10 cabbages.” No, it’s farming three specific bosses in UBRS, one being the end boss repeatedly until they dropped their gemstone and praying you actually won the roll on it and not some knobhead taking it without knowing what it is for.

That you don’t get the irony of your responses is hilariously consistent with the point of my post.

What is really ironic is the point you’re trying to make when he’s put so much care and effort into being the best he can be for the people around him while you’re sitting around being a selfish baddie.

If you really cared about the people you were playing with you’d be putting more effort in than what it takes to parse a 3.

There isn’t irony because the people selling tank services aren’t elitist in any legitimate sense. You pull irony from your misconceived notion that “Oh well these players think they’re better than us, and because I found one person who speaks like he’s better than me that proves my point.” In fact I don’t think you actually know what elitism means, you likely use it as a buzzword for “This guy thinks he’s good.”

Elitism is the idea that you shouldn’t be forced to mix with the riffraff and that only the elite should be allowed to call the shots in a society. In WoW this translates to the idea that only the elite should be allowed to experience the endgame content. The fact these people are actively engaging with what amounts to riffraff alone disproves that, granted they want a fee for doing so but that doesn’t make them elitist in the slightest.

All I did was offer a rebuttal to your implication of “Well I won’t group with these people.” with “That’s fine because a lot of good players don’t like grouping with gutter sucking pondscum of players who have a room temperature IQ value measured in Celsius.”

Your honor, the prosecution rests.

So now your rebuttals resemble your raiding effort. Zero applied effort and resorting to tired one liners you think are witty.

If you want to prove a point, prove to me that you aren’t exactly everything I’ve said about you. You mentioned irony, then quote me referring to bad players are “gutter sucking pondscum who have a room temperature IQ value measured in Celsius.” Then proceed to give me a response I would expect from precisely someone of that designation. Now THAT is irony.

The point I made was that people who sell “tanking services” have a high correlation to players with other attributes and personality traits that make them toxic to play with. You’ve responded with a hilarious litany of those attributes, and tried to push the conversation into the only area that matters to you - how “good” you are, and want others to see you as. I actually think that is the real point of your post - to flex. It’s part of the narcissism.

However, I have no problem with excellence, good for you. It doesn’t have to go along with asshattery, but so often does in these games. You’ve outed yourself as being all those things that make you the kind of person I and others don’t want to brush up against in game anyway.

I.E. you proved, and keep proving my point.

its a video game. you still have no leg to stand on. your service isn’t special. just like a tank isn’t special

Yeah, because the main idea is I am significantly above doing these things as a charity effort when they offer nothing to me. I understand you’re not going to get it because you’ve likely never been at a point where we will see eye to eye. I may as well explain colors to someone who has been blind since birth.

No, I pushed it here to illustrate how much of a divide there is between someone like me who is good at the game, and someone like you who isn’t and why people want to charge for tanking services if they are on a similar level. Running a dungeon with you for me would be a miserable experience so I couldn’t run it “for funsies” and I don’t need any items out of any of these places. You aren’t of any level of prestige to where your personal opinion of me is going to matter. So the only purpose for me to justify running these places is monetary.

It isn’t particular to games. It’s anything. In high school projects I hated getting low grades on group projects because I was the only competent person, as do a lot of people. When you work in project management like I do, your job hinges on every person pulling their weight and being competent enough to do their designated task. If they aren’t and you begin missing deadlines, it falls back on you.

Nobody who is competent likes dealing with incompetent people if it affects them on any level. This is just a fact of life that you have yet to understand. I’m 26 and pieced this together when I was 12. Like I said, I was deadweight in my first guild and knew the other mages did not like having me around because I was bad and ate up a raid slot. I very quickly resolved that I would never be incompetent at this game or any game so long as I lived.

And let me guess. They’re likely of the same caliber you are which to me, isn’t much of a loss honestly. Good guilds want me, that’s all that matters. If I felt like playing on European servers I had an active invitation to join both Progress and APES going into Classic just because they knew I was capable from playing numerous private servers with their players.

I’m capable of playing with exceptional players, like I’m ever going to care that riffraff doesn’t want me around. Just in the same way wealthy people don’t care that people making 10k a year don’t want to associate with them. The feeling is mutual but I have less to lose from it.

That’s fine, I’m not trying to disprove your point. You’re a terrible player. I really am not missing out on playing with somebody as beneath me as you are. All I’m stating is you think this is some weird fantasy world where you’re a good player or something special and that you not liking me is just some giant missed opportunity. It really isn’t.

I likely make more at my job than you do because of the mindset I’ve cultivated on having to be exceptional at everything I do. It isn’t just games, this is also real life. People who strive for the bare minimum and hide behind “Lmao you take things too seriously” are the people that will always stay either at the bar, or just ever so slightly above it. These are not people I want to associate with, nor would any person of any tangible worth they are aware of.

High worth people surround themselves with other high worth people, they don’t actively associate with underachievers nor do they particularly care to.

want a medal there bruv, seems you got everything figured out.

cept the thing you haven’t figured out is humbleness.

ps i too can claim to be successful and rich on the inerwebs just like you.

WHATS NOW MR IM SO SUCCESSFUL NOW THAT WE HAVE THE SAME SUCCESS.

Don’t need it. Humble is merely a mindtrap the lesser hold over you because they can’t handle the level you’re at compared to them. Sorry I’m not about the whole “Oh don’t take pride in doing exceptionally at things because it offends people who can’t compare.”

The only case I could see for being humble is if I didn’t work to cultivate this ability, but that isn’t the case. I will take pride in my achievements because I went from being one of the worst players imaginable to being one of the best entirely of my own effort. Zero reason others can’t do the same.

True, but I can actually back my claim, and this came because you implied I only had games going for me. That’s not the case. I have a hell of a lot more going for me than being good at a multitude of video games.

youre a legend, mate

A goal without a plan, or ambition remains only a dream. Golden rule for life, stick to it and the sky is the limit.

once again do you want a medal for being an adult in 2019?

like once again man, your nothing special.

and i’ll tell you full stop right now. humbleness gets your everywhere. no one wants to be teamed up with a raging mouth breather such as yourself. bad for moral, terrible for success.

teamwork make the dreams work my guy.

the only prize you get for being and arrogant prick is well being an arrogant prick.

but als as someone else has pointed out. narcissism seems to be your greatest downfall, and to somehow keep your ego inflated you need to make grandiose claims that you are better than everyone else.

we all bleed the same, we all die the same, and in the true end, we all end up in the same place. so no… deep down you aren’t special, in fact you are the complete opposite.

sorry that your minute ego can’t handle the fact that someone doesn’t see your “success” as success, and in fact see’s it as your failing.

It because none of those things are essential to running dungeons. Tanking is. Two different things. Keep trying to justify your cheap actions…
