I said "games," not videogames. I was including football.

They got there's on Dec 31st which is 5 weeks before yours and 4 weeks after the game came out.

Math and calenders are super hard though.

but don't act like you guys are only slower because you don't care when you put the same ammout of effort forth your first night, I'm sure, and got one third the results.

We were there with 4-5 out of 10 being new people that had never raided with us before or raiding as a new class in a different role (I know Aqui, Hizz, and Gilme were new, Artec went from lock dps to pally heals, and I think we had someone else random in there too). We went in fairly blind (Matt tried to explain things but everyone except George tuned him out), dicked around, RPed in general chat, killed stuff, and enjoyed it.

As much as it appears to bug you that we find the content easy yet didn't move as fast as some random group of people that you aren't part of and no one else here knows or cares about, I can't really say it's something that matters to anyone in RF nor anyone in whichever guild you're comparing us to.

Imagine if Vlos walked in on a new toon and all the sudden set the world record for a heroic fight after month of playing the toon, he literally became on of the top three players in the world for that spec. You wouldn't even be a little impressed?

Also Mech raided in a guild that did HM Arthas, you really don't see a skill or consistency difference between those players and RF? Really?

Consistency, meaning they show up for raids? I'm sure there's a huge difference. I mean we want to try a 25 man tonight and FIRSTBLOOD is going to a CONCERT! Can you believe that!? He puts real life social occasions before WoW!

I'll never be impressed by a damage meter in this game.
I mean especially when you can see and know everything you need to be doing on a spreadsheet and the only challenge is recreating it and reacting to a set group of situational things.

OH ALSO DAVE I'M GOING TO THE CONCERT AFTER THE RAID =D

I mean always performing.

Also you act as if my old guild had attendance requirements which it did not have, if you wanted to go to a concert you just went.

The same thing could be said about free throws in basketball. The hoop is always the same size and distance away from you and you throw the same size and weight ball every time. It is the most simple thing ever and yet if someone could do it with 100% accuracy they would be incredible.

Nope, still not impressed.

That's where the skill lies. The same cannot be said of someone hitting 1 or Q over and over. I can do it as good as the next guy

I still click half my shit, I'm horrible

Consistency in terms of showing up, yes. Skill, not really so much.

MAIN THING: until right now RF has always been ridiculously hampered by terrible healers, as we've stated many times before. It's really been unacceptable how fucking terrible most of our healer core has been (especially when I was in it). The only reason we beat other guilds this time is because we server transferred a hentai artist & co. in to heal for us and they're actually competent at the game.

Celebration now occurs in hand-drawn moments of us fucking each other.

[edit] I say most because I'm obviously excluding Drew, before he gets sad and/or defensive at me.

Fuck, someone post it. I don't have the url handy
