Some people's kids...
Since everyone else has guild drama stories, here's a minor one of my own.

Happily, it was only the bratling that left.

Usually our GM is good about screening and booting people who are obnoxious or leechy.

There was one kid, who I will just call Kid, that he wanted to try to help out.
Said Kid was, by his own admission, 10 years old.
So, really a kid.

We were patient with Kid when he'd constantly ask for runs, help, "Where is X, Y and Z?", and all kinds of other stuff that he could have figured out on his own if he'd stopped to look around a little, because, yanno, he was a kid. We'd just grit our teeth and be nice to him and occasionally drop what we were doing to help him so he'd shut up.

Then, about two weeks ago, he stumbled on one of those elite dragons in Twilight Grove and got it stuck in his head that he wanted to kill it.
At level 23.
So, for days and days on end all we heard from him was, "can 1 of u hi lvls help me kill the dragon in duskwood???????"
We kept telling him no, that it was a 10-20 man raid boss (and either level 70 or 72, I forget which), and that it just wasn't a possibility for a 'whim' kill.
We suggested that he get the GEM add on and schedule an event for it if he really wanted to do it.
He said he would and shut up for a couple of days.

...then started over again.

Repeat this a few more times.

I talked to the GM and he said he knew that the kid was annoying and that he was trying to work with him to explain the concept of "STFU AND HAVE SOME MANNERS!".

However, I got sick of it pretty soon and told the kid, once again, all of the above about the dragon and that unless he scheduled a raid for it there was no way it was EVER GOING TO HAPPEN so please stop bothering people constantly to go and do it and get it scheduled.
He said he "didn't feel" like installing GEM and that we should help him just because.
I told him that wasn't how life works and reiterated once again that this was a HIGH LEVEL RAID BOSS that would need 10-20 level 60+ members so he would HAVE to schedule it if he wanted any hope of it ever getting done.

He was quiet for a few mintues, then said,




Nobody /cry -ed when he /gquit the next day.
