Then there are those days...

I do not pug. I hate pugging and I would rather bore my brain out with a rusty knife than pug a group.

Yesterday, I bored my brain out with a rusty knife...

Let me set the scene. Kroff and I log on, it's a little before our lunch our time and we want to play a bit before we clean the house. Mainly, I want to get the routine started for logging every hour and trying for my Peddlefeet. Teacc is the only one on in our guild and he and Kroff start chatting it up. He invites us both to a pug 10 man Vault since more than likely our guild isn't going to see Vault before Tuesday because of trying for Malygos. Kroff asks if I want to go and I'm like, okay sure. Teacc tells us who to whisper and I whisper them saying that my husband and I would both be up for going and I'm a tank but can go as dps and he's dps. No response. So Kroff ports over to Wintersgrasp and finds the person and /says to them we're interested in going. She politely responds the group is full. Kroff tells Teacc this and he says they ninjaed a couple of people into going at the last minute.

Okay, no biggie. So we go back to what we were doing. A couple more guildies log on and we're all chit chatting and kinda doing our own thing. I'm hanging out in Org not really doing much when I notice in Trade chat someone advertising for a 25 man pug. It's a guy from Dust. I start thinking...

Now, let me say something right here. Dust has a bad rep. They are the largest guild on the server and the guild that blasts through content before anyone else has a chance to say "Naxx what?". That is not the reason they have a bad rep though. They have a bad rep for their people being pricks and not really caring about anyone outside their guild. That being said, my opinion has always been very low of them and I usually steer clear. That being until our guild split a few weeks ago. A good friend of mine went over to Dust. He and I keep in contact and he's been very happy there. Another guy who used to be in my Kara raid went there quite a while back as well. He's always kept in touch and I recently learned he's been heading up his own Naxx run. Very sweet guy and both of them have helped me in my quest for healers for our second Naxx run.

So with the two of them there, I've been more receptive of Dust folks in general. You can't really judge a whole guild by a select few now can you? That's very judgmental of me and completely unfair.

Screw it, let's try it. I ask Kroff if he'd like to try and I whisper the guy advertising. He invites me and tells me to have Kroff whisper him. (Apparently he lacks the ability to type in /invite Kroffjr.) Anywho, we both get in and I notice a couple of people I know. One I'm not fond of and just pray he doesn't try and start crap with me this particular morning. Another is a guy that I picked up to OT our Naxx run this coming Wednesday. He spys me and Kroff and waves at us and is very friendly in general.

So far we've only got 15 people but they seem to be coming in at a steady rate and I ask if anyone in our guild would like to go. Two guildies say no and Teacc is still in the ten man. Okay, well if you get out and wanna go, we still have a few spots. We're piddling around when there's one spot left and Teacc say's okay, get me an invite. I tell him to whisper the guy and he gets the last spot. Here we go!

So everyone's in. There's no vent and they charge. The trash pulls go semi-smoothly. Not as smooth as they could have been, but we didn't wipe, so that's a plus. I'm watching chat and I see the moron who says "where are you guys?" Someone asked if he was saved and OMG imagine that, he was. I laugh and tell Kroff about reading BBB's post about this very thing.

We get to the boss. We've lost a few at this point, so they get a couple more people to bring us up to 24 and warlock summon them. Everyone's here...who are the tanks? The raid leader does a raid warning naming the tanks and we're off! The tanks weren't the smoothest, but we got him down and low and behold...rogue AND druid gear drops. Not just druid gear but FERAL druid gear. Cool.

Warrior gear is dished out first. Two warrior drops, two warriors. Easy enough. I whisper our warrior and congratulate him.

Rogue gear is next. Kroff is one of two rogues. They roll and Kroff wins! Yay!

Kroffjr receive's "Deadly Gladiators Dragonhide Legguards."

Wait...WHAT!?

Omg dude, you gave him the Druid pants. Okay, no one freak, just put in a ticket. Raid leader tells MAIN SPEC Druids to roll. The same thing he said at the beginning when we started the raid. Main specs. I'm one of four druids, two of us are feral, two are boomkin. My odds are 50/50.

The other feral druid rolls, I roll and win...gratz me! A boomkin rolls..."Give them to the other feral druid."

WHAT!??!?!?!? You can't do that.

"That's how we do every Dust raid. Get over it."

I'm about to type in raid chat that if that's the way "Dust does it" then you should have spelled that out at the BEGINNING of the raid, not when we're passing out loot. But before I can get all that typed I'm kicked from the raid.

Oh no you didn't! I'm getting pretty POed by this point.

I whisper the raid leader, "Dude, I don't care about the pants, really I don't. But be fair about loot. You can't change your rules when we're passing out loot."

He replies back, "that's the way Dust does it, if you don't like it, don't come" and puts me on ignore.

O...M....G...

Okay, I'm sitting in my loveseat fuming at this point. I haven't started yelling, but I'm steaming. Alright, Tab, calm down and don't lose your temper. You can't whisper the dude so just go do your hourly thing and calm down.

I head over to Org and do my adoration. Ding! Peddlefeet. Woot! Okay, I feel a little better. Now...to take care of the prick.

I hop over to my banker alt and whisper Spiltbloodd the raid leader of the pug guild that proved he's has no respect or consideration for anyone and really just didn't want to deal with me even though, hey, I was nice. Hmmm...how bout that you piece of crap?

So here's my marvelous BITE ME comment "Don't you dare block me. I was freaking nice to you when you screwed up. No wonder Dust has a bad rep with morons like you running raids. Be fair about loot dude, I don't care HOW Dust does it."

I didn't even wait for a response. /ignore

Hop back over to Aht /ignore the prick. And man, I feel a lot better.

Meanwhile my loving husband has put in a ticket and been extremely truthful. He accidentally got the druid pants, there was a dispute about who won them, but he believes Aht won them because she was highest roller, blah blah blah.

I told him it'll probably be a few days before I get them, but his ticket was answered within a few hours and guess what?

I got my pants. :-)

Take that *insert explicit here*.
