Night Elf priests gimped in raiding??Follow

Off-topic

Sounds good, but it's wrong.

Shaving (hair removal) in human swimmers has been found to decrease VO2 and blood lactate levels (in other words, you don't work as hard) and increase distance traveled per stroke. If you suck at swimming, then shaving will not make you a good swimmer; however, in races that come down to 0.1 seconds, it can make a difference.

Human body hair creates drag in the water -- seals and otters have coats that are better adapted to swimming than people do.

It's a high end arena/pvp guild as well and dwarves have some of the best pvp racials in the game. Hence their decision not to exclude dwarves.

Eh, I get the comparison, but in dodgeball, players have two roles--not to get hit, and to hit others. The fat kid is easier to hit, but if that fat kid has good aim and an amazingly powerful arm, he's well worth taking. In WoW, our players are divided into one role--those priests are support, so any non-support function of them is worthless. It doesn't matter how good an arm the priest has, if he's fat, he's out.

Ok. So where did you get the information that raiders do not do sports? Raiding takes a lot of time, but not all of it. You're so incredibly biased - where is this coming from?



... the stupidity of this remark brings new meaning to that very word. Personally, I can't understand that ppl like to watch a boxing match, but they do. Perhaps it's time to realize that this world will never revolve around your opinion which, in all honesty, is rather shallow.



Yeah, they probably will. But that's their choice. No one ever forced them to join that guild and no one is keeping them from leaving it. They endure the harsh environment so they can reap the rewards, you know, the ones you probably want for free.



It sounds you're the one who's not happy with his life. Why so defensive? Irritated that you can't meet the requirements of such guilds? Ffs man, who are you to judge.



Man, I pity you. You get bullied much? No friends? No *****? What the hell is wrong with you?! Srsly, I hope someone finally takes the initiative to ban you from these boards.



You should count yourself lucky to be Mentalfrog's *****. It would be a promotion.

My thoughts: No I don't think racials are the be all and end all for most players. Blizz has set up the game to allow people of like minds to get together and play the game how they want; ie guilds. So if you are a min/max type of person, these types of guilds would interest you, you'd most likely be happy there, and you'd most likely have already done your own min/maxing.

You get the same hard coreness in PvP guilds as well for racials, comps, gear, etc. People who don't think that is fun, won't app to those types of guilds either. Look at Theo in the rogue forum. Guy loves to PvP...It's his thing.

I think people will do whatever they find fun in their off time, no matter what it may be. I'm just glad I live in a country where it is possible for me to do what I want in my off time; doesn't matter if my neighbor does something different.

On a side note: I've raided with NE priests before. Good healers, good shadow priests as well. And we are casual raiding.

I've been away for a while with real life issues, so haven't had any chance to check the forums for quite some time. Anyway, from my own personal perspective I thought the issue was an interesting one. Many people debate the value of racials for their characters and I have read on these very boards that priest racials are something worth considering when creating a character.

While I personally, am not interested in joining the guild (even if that were possible), and my priest is Draenei, I see no harm in discussing their policy as it does relate to the issue of priest racials in general. I have no interest in running for political office, but I do enjoy the occasional political debate with my father because politics are something I am interested in. I think I am making a clumsy analogy here, but I guess my point is that I enjoy discussion and debate on a topic whether it is directly relevant to me personally or not.


Anyway, I am sorry that a few people got angry about some of what was posted even though I realize I am not responsible for their anger. Maybe teacake will make us some cookies? Oh wait, is it still pie season...who wants pie?

:D

You don't know anything about any of their social skills or lack of. Nobody said they only live in their fantasy world. What's wrong with comparing it to the olympics? Both are competitive are they not? You're an idiot.

For you Miss K, I'll make both. :)

Speak for yourself whippersnapper. Oh yea, stop stealing my walker out from under me and get off my lawn.



You know he has your diary, right? You know the one you keep under your bed, the pink one with flowers on it and that cute albeit easily broken lock? Teehee.

This thread is so full of angry..

People take this game so seriously. But the fact is that they can. It's up to you to not take their serious-taking seriously. Or something like that.

Took me ages to scroll down all that.

He makes a valid point about raid buffs and debuffs and such, but i think that depreciating an entire race of priests just because of that is a bit massive, but justified somewhat none the less.

You'd be more annoyed if he said that it was because he didn't like the /dance wouldn't you?
