  1. Allo Preach,
  2.  
  3. I'm Gus, but I go by ''Aria'' online. This story is a drama that hasn't even reached its full conclusion yet, but is so spicy that I am very eager to share it with the stream.
  4.  
  5. I was featured on Drama Time once before, if you remember, I was the dick that shut off TeamSpeak servers to mess up a guild's during pulls in HFC. This story starts in HFC as well, though later in the tier, when I was already 13/13 Mythic.
  6.  
  7. Truth be told, I wasn't really enjoying WoW anymore in 6.2, I had worked my way to 9/13 Mythic but had no guild and was on the verge of calling it quits until the next expansion. I decided to do one last shot in the dark, and apply to a guild that had already cleared the raid. I presented myself in my best way possible, and got accepted without any trouble. That same night, I was brought to Archimonde mythic. A fight I had absolutely 0 experience on, I read as many guides as I could in the short timeframe that came between Mannoroth and Archimonde but despite my poor as fuck performance, the boss died, and that juicy ''Cutting Edge'' flared up on the screen. I made it, despite having hopped between 5 different guilds, I had finally cleared the Hellfire Citadel on mythic difficulty. And truth be told, this guild was incredibly fun. Some nights were smoother than others, but the team and the overall atmosphere were awesome, and I quickly became a well-established member in the guild's community. I had many friends, but most particularly got along with a certain druid healer (Gru), and a rogue (Viiz).
  8.  
  9. Cue Legion, most of the guild was chilling in Dalaran on August 30th waiting for that xp bar to unlock. During Legion's launch, we got a lot of new blood in the guild. Most importantly a Windwalker monk and a druid healer. Both of these players were very good, well over the guild's level, which was roughly top 1300 at the time. I became friends with them, yet despite me having 0 personal issues with the druid that had joined, my older druid friend wasn't keen on them at all. We had simply overrecruited, our mythic team was now bordering 30+ players, and he felt rightfully threatened out of his position. We'll fast forward to Emerald Nightmare, everything is relatively smooth sailing, the windwalker shows himself as an absolute monster and achieves a couple of rank 1's even with unimpressive kill times. Yet for our healy friends, it wasn't quite as fun. Every night, we'd have to rotate a few healers out, to the point where some of them, Gru among them weren't feeling very welcome anymore. It reached a boiling point one night, I believe the first night we went to Mythic Dragons of Nightmare. Both Gru and the new healer were brought, but because two of Gru's close friends were once more benched for the how many-th time in a row, Gru threw a tantrum in /i, ragequitting the raid and TS, much to the shock of the other druid, who wasn't aware he was hated at all. The druid sat that night, but that was a dent in their relationship that'd never heal.
  10.  
  11. Speaking of dragons, calling it a trainwreck is giving it too much credit. It took our guild almost 3 weeks worth of raid nights on the Drakes alone to get our first kill. Up till now, I had only really felt the wind in our backs while in the guild, but would soon find out that the atmosphere would be terribly different when it wasn't. Somewhere in the second week of dragons, our raid leader lost his cool after a wipe and screeched ''YOU SHOULD ALL JUST FUCKING KILL YOURSELVES, IDIOTS'' which was met with equal shouting from his co-tank, begging him to calm down. It went downhill from there, despite there being no more real roadblocks in EN after the dragons died, the atmosphere was set.
  12.  
  13. On to ToV we went, and honestly, there were no major complaints here. We didn't kill Helya before NH released but I'd say that's relatively forgiveable, considering how shortly ToV was the hardest raid available in game. But Nighthold.... oh fuck, Nighthold.
  14.  
  15. Me and the Windwalker had both contemplated rerolling for some time already, I'd be leaving my hunter again in favour of my own windwalker, whilst he would reroll to a subtlety rogue. I was definitely one of our weaker links on my hunter at the time, and he was getting bored of the stale and repetitive nature of Legion WW. We were both allowed to, and while I was praised for giving a much better performance on my WW than I did on my hunter, our newfound roguey friend wasn't having quite as easy a time. He was expected to perform on the same godly levels as he had before, and he was even threatened with the good ol' bench if he didn't ''shape up''. Remember the rogue I mentioned earlier, Viiz? He had left the guild in early Legion to play with friends, but had since rejoined when their guild had fallen apart. Viiz was a troublemaker, his numbers were godly, but those came at the cost of doing little mechanics. His performance and attendance was great, but his attitude was garbage. Heroic Gul'dan fell without much trouble, and it was on to mythic.

  17. Skorpyron? couple hours, no problem
  18. Anomaly? Don't mention it, easy game
  19. Trilliax? Lack of ranged caused a few hiccups, but still died in a timely manner.
  20.  
  21. Then came Krosus, fuck, Krosus. All my single men/women in chat, I want you to imagine the prettiest person you know, your biggest crush, and what you'd like to do to them. Multiply that by 100, make it painful and unenjoyable and even then you're probably not even close to how thoroughly we got FUCKED by Krosus. 195 wipes it took for our first kill, 4 full weeks of Krosus progression. It was ridiculous, when he finally died no one was happy, and we were told we should be ashamed of ourselves. Some people left the guild as a result, and it was at this point that our GM decided on going for Aluriel next. This was a decision a lot of us questioned, pre-nerf Aluriel was a ton harder than Tichondrius, and we had a great comp for Tichondrius as well. Nevermind the fact he was a tier boss. But our gm was stubborn, and while several of us asked for clarity, we never got a concrete answer. This didn't fall well with Viiz, Gru had already left the guild a couple weeks prior and Viiz did not want to raid ineffectively by ''wasting time on Aluriel before Tichondrius''. He would refuse to raid, declining invites and being generally toxic, and eventually, our GM had to hesitantly boot him out of the guild. Not that he minded, his logs were great and he got a shiny new spot in the best guild on the server. Truth be told, the overall atmosphere in the guild was toxic, lots of people weren't enjoying raiding at all, myself included. This led to me being volatile, easily triggered, and generally unfun to play with. Yet instead of taking up less responsibility, I took more.
  22.  
  23. One of our main tanks was having an incredibly busy period at uni, and I rose to the task of tanking once more eagerly. If you remember from my previous story, I'm a brewmaster main at heart, and the chance to tank no less than mythic progression content was one I was eager to take. So I rerolled once more, I spent weeks gearing up my brewmaster spec, and eventually rose to a respectable level of tankiness. Yet after not more than a week of Aluriel progression, I had a small fall-out with a warrior in the guild. One night he was a tad intoxicated, and got a pretty damn bad legendary for his spec. Instead of the usual ''rip lol'', he went on a tangent in /g for no less than 10 minutes straight, bitching about how each warrior was luckier than he was, and how he'd never ever get his desired Fury helm. Eventually, I just told him to shut the fuck up, that we all knew the system was stupid but that bitching wouldn't make his legendary any less shit. In a drunken rage, he left the guild and did not return the following day. Behind my back, the gm had recruited a guardian druid, my intended replacement. While I was thanked for my service, the implications were I'd be dpsing again soon enough. Something I wasn't very keen on an at all. The next night, I was told to go DPS once all Aluriel trash was dead, something I didn't take lightly. Instead of going DPS then and there, I teleported to my coh to swap some talents around, I said. I wasted a couple minutes standing around doing nothing before teleporting back. We had a habit of doing 16 second pulltimers for yours truly. When the pulltimer hit 12 seconds, I started channeling the monk order hall teleport once more, leaving my guild with 19 players on a mythic boss pull. Obviously, I got benched for this, it's nothing I'll try to justify, that was toxic. A couple pulls later, our holy priest had gone shadow without any announcement, leading to another unnecessary wipe (Can you see how mature this guild is yet?) of course he was asked on teamspeak why he did this, and went on an emotional breakdown about how all his friends were leaving the guild and how he didn't care if he was benched. This lead to our raid leader kicking me on the spot, claiming it would fix all drama and that there would be no more shenanigans.
  24.  
  25. The weeks following were alright. I was a bit down that I got kicked initially, but quickly got better. I had a friendly relationship with the gm still. But nothing good lasts forever. You see, the tank that had left for uni had returned to WoW, but was benched from his tanking position and forced to dps. He was dpsing, but was looking for a guild and if he could find one where he could tank, he'd leave. I heard this and passed it on to some other old members of the guild, who were equally surprised as I was. Yet despite said tank personally confirming to me this was true, the gm turned the tables against me and claimed I was a rumour-spreading piece of toxic waste, and I was labelled a traitor.
  26.  
  27. Honestly, the month following was relatively uninteresting. I tried to talk to the gm several times to no avail, and eventually just continued raiding. However, myself, Viiz, Gru and a handful of other old members of the guild were still eagerly looking at the guild's progress. Since while the gm may have claimed that the removal of all these toxic tumors cured the cancer that was plagueing the guild, progression seemed to grind to an absolute halt after Botanist. Star Augur took weeks, and when they eventually did reach Gul'dan, there were only 3 weeks remaining before the Tomb of Sargeras. We eagerly followed each raid night, but as the date approached rapidly, it was becoming more and more apparent that the guild was struggling with members and a lack of time. Spoiler: They did not end up making the kill, the tuesday before ToS was their final chance at CE, but they did not succeed. Of course we showed them a toxic little courtesy in the form of a small joke video (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZjzpnLhgEk) but this struck their gm in the completely wrong manner. He took it to the most reputable source, the official WoW forums, and made a thread claiming that ''NOTHING IS TRUE! WE'RE NOT DISBANDING! DO NOT BELIEVE THESE TOXIC CUNTS!'' though we never claimed anything of the sorts. The thread evolved slowly, and can be read here: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17616021850?page=1 but the general conclusion was that all the turbulence in Legion caused him to have a complete and utter mental breakdown on the forums.
  28.  
  29. And that's where the story ends for now, despite the video being a big kick in their server rep, and the thread being terrible damage control, the GM insisted he was right. He made a post on the guild's personal facebook group (here: https://thumb.gyazo.com/thumb/1200/_25546ed724ef9088def36c6e2bfb4370-png.jpg) and has left it at that since. I swear Preach, try a roleplaying server some time. Things like this can only happen on there.
