Loot system? We don't need no stinking loot system!

Ok so the other night we are in Naxx 25, after having wasted about an hour trying Flame Leviathan without reading anything about the fight at guild leader's request. Now, being a mage, there is a trinket from Naxx that I have been craving for a while, namely, Dying Curse. On that page, you can see that it drops not-so-often. I have been saving rp and running every week to ensure that I would get that item, when and if it dropped. I have also made it clear to other guild members that that is one of about two things from Naxx-25 I need. So the other night, we start doing spider wing and after the first boss, RL/GL says we're just going to do pure rolls. Obviously, people grumble about it. And of course, the trinket drops off of Maexxna and I don't get it. Needless to say, I was pretty miffed, especially since the trinket went to an already-epicc'ed shadow priest who doesn't come close to my mage dps even when I have this equipped on boss fights.
I sent a tell to GL politely saying I didn't really see the logic in using pure rolls when there were still people who had major upgrades. He told me to "relax," saying that he didn't feel like keeping track of rp and "it would drop again." For the rest of the night, he proceeded to give items to whoever he felt like, citing "need" as his reason, meaning that people who did get the highest rolls didn't receive items. One retadin lost three times to a tank who was getting gear for his dual spec and quit the guild. He came back, so I think he must have convinced the GL to change the rules or something, but almost everyone in the guild was upset about it. Anyway, there's always next week.

WTB Off-tank?

So, I was going to write about how people on WoW are different from people in real life, but I can write about that any time and I will maybe forget about this little gem.

There is a player in my guild who is very vocally misanthropic.  It's the Internet, so who isn't?  However, last raid he did some stuff that I thought was fairly inexcusable.  We started out doing Sartherion because we didn't have enough people on to try Kel'Thuzad.  He was supposed to be off-tanking.  However, when we went into the portals, there was no tank to be found.  At one point, I could see the main tank list and he was targeting another player; I suspected he had to AFK and put on auto follow or something but why not just say that so another tank would know to pick up the mobs?

Then, when we did get to KT, we were having some trouble getting started, basically just making some stupid mistakes.  At one point, when he could tell we were going to wipe, he bubble-hearthed because he didn't think he should have to pay the repair bill.  But apparently all of the rest of us should?  It's not like he was doing everything perfectly and every single other person screwed up. I'm pretty sure you'd get shot in Vegas for that.
