I listened to this as I was driving the 30 ish minutes home from my actual girlfriend’s house. I had to pull over from laughing so hard when he went to tell his brother about how he felt about her. I’m glad they eventually got to meet irl.
The first story was so cute and wholesome. The second story is 100% in the boat of a lot of Drama Times where the author's version of the story seemed sus and it turns out they heavily downplayed their faults. I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if we get a follow up in a few months of how the guild died.
Preach declining their thanks to them was awesome, as well as calling out the bad behavior. Cutting people off entirely because they didn't agree is super childish. But it does highlight how tribal and toxic much of WoW's raiding guild culture is, where guild leaders and officers often demand complete fealty or else threaten you with punishment and ostracising.
This brings back memories, I played during BC, around 2006 but only had dial up. I had 1 second ping and had to develop future sight to win duels, yet Warlock was still playable. Most of the people I know played on private servers, since piracy is kinda entrenched in Serbia. People will look at you like you're crazy if you pay for watching movies/shows.
I was 40 when I started WoW in Wrath time, and I had a 14 year old Danish lad who had a crush on me because he could talk to me about his troubles with his step dad and his typical 'I hate my parents because they won't let me go out to parties where there is alcohol'. He didn't get weird at all, he was well grounded really, just 14 year old lad problems. He just decided one day to tell me, very calmly and maturely that he 'liked' me. Well... I suppose that's a story in it's own right, I might write it down and send it in! 🤣
I honestly feel that 2nd story is lacking from the authors perspective. Yes, I get that kicking the person out of the guild because that said person doesn't want to learn the fight, however at the same time I feel that asking him to switch into spec that he isn't even familiar just so that could justify the motives to raid...sounds kinda as bad as blind raiding, no?
I will always choose to want to do a first run or two of a raid blind. After a couple wipes, though, you can just dump all the answers on me if I'm fucking shit up because I'm not blind to the fight anymore and we should get a move on.
Every FFXIV static I’ve been a part of that has blind raided has fallen apart, and every static I’ve joined that requires people to watch pulls / guides has cleared content in 1-2 lockouts. One static in Endwalker was so bad it ended multiple friendships because of the blind players wasting so much time. But FFXIV is way more of a dance in terms of fights than WoW is, so blind raiding in FFXIV requires much more from a player in order to make it wirk
I know wrath has a battle chest because that’s how I got my first account my friend bought it for me in high school so I’d stop sharing an account with my other friend lol
Blind raiding has been dead in WoW since TBC, every guild exploits video guides and addons to the maximum. The playerbase simply wants to clear raids, get loot and logoff, spending as little time playing the game or socialising as possible. Final Fantasy 14 taught me how much fun it can be with like minded players willing to learn fights without cheating with guides and addons, it helps that there is much less downtime between attempts. Treating people like human beings rather than a replaceable faceless number goes a long way to promoting a learning environment.
i love blind raiding. joined a guild that started raiding the first time in war within, we blind raid. we are now 7/8 hc! love playing with them, its the best
I haven’t even listened yet but 100% agree with the title. As a high level pvp player I sometimes join friends for dungeons or raids. My pve buddy will lie for me and say I’ve done it before. When you know you know. I’ll still be top 5 dps and often top dps on the first try

31:18 "...where blind raiding was disallowed." Isnt this every WoW guild ever?
A drama extravaganza. Needed this on this shit Wednesday

As a mistweaver main who very much enjoys learning new content blindly, I actually lold when you said that guy pressed revival on silken court 😅

i literally never look up a guide before a raid, though i am in a guild that blind raids.
Honestly, I as the semi-casual officer in my guild, has designated myself as the Officer of Good Vibes!

Hilariously theres a mega guild on my server with like 5 different variations of their name. No clue how that works

Blind raiding is heaps of fun... If you're not shit lol. I'm not good and even I can one shot a normal raid blind.

I'm so confused. Preach won a gfx card in a world of warcraft cook off?!?

I explained to her that i was...serbian LMAO
Blind raiding...? Isnt that called playing the game? Seriously.
Not unless it's agreed upon. This is not a single player

being top DPS doesnt amount to much though. knowing how to avoid shit does
your healers hate you lmao
Neither of you get it. It’s easy
@@beecees410you won’t be top dps without avoiding things and not dying. This is basic
@@magdabrownis265 lmao, do you even know what parsing is?
