Bleck.
So non-fun things happened today in WoW.
A warrior guildie asked to do the heroic for the day, and I offered to come along, because ramps can't be too hard, right?
Yeah, wrong.
He turns out to not be such a great tank, which I could forgive because whatever, you know? Some people don't know they're not prepared. It gets bad only when our (female toon) healer drops because we died on the second pull because the pug hunter pulled the pats. He starts LOLing in party chat about how she clearly is PMSing and we were better off without her because she'd probably keep crying about things being unfair.
I said nothing - despite how rude it was, and how I knew he knew I was a girl too. Not because I wasn't offended, but because I really did not feel like starting things. I try to be as drama-free as possible, and had figured if he did it again I'd speak to my GM about it. Still, I eyetwitched to my fellow guildmate and party member in a private about it, and without me asking him to he called him out about it and promptly shut the kid up.
So we get another healer, and we wipe again, because he dies. I announce if we die again or have any more interruptions (as we spent a good bulk of time with people leaving or unannounced afks) I was going to get going, since I didn't feel like paying for a high armor repair build. Sure enough, we die, and then the hunter leaves with barely any warning. My friend goes, and I go after him, because there's no way I'm sticking around just for the warrior.
Then the fun starts!
My guildmate had signed off under his rogue, and warrior started to badmouth both me and him as bad guildies for leaving. Around the time he starts insulting the rogue, he's on under his warrior who is also in the guild. He hears him making fun of him and it promptly starts a nice big fight in gchat. I try to stay out of it as much as I can, only confirming anything my friend was saying and trying to cool him down in private messages, but it's when he casually brushes off the fact he insulted females when my friend called him out on it again in gchat that really got me going. I as well as another member told him he can't be so casual about insulting people because of their genders, especially when we're pugging with other guilds, since it makes our guild look bad. He pretty much says 'idc'. Great attitude, right?
Luckily, an officer was on and saw the whole thing. Apparently this warrior has been spoken to before, and she promptly told him to learn to watch his mouth and guild kicked him. He apparently told her he'd be talking to the GM about this and I told the officer I had screenshots of him brushing off the fact he had been an ass about the gender stuff.
I hate bringing stuff like this into gchat. I really do. I actually apologized to the officer for keeping it going and not bringing it into a more private setting, but there was no way in hell I was going to let him keep insulting my friend for calling him out on his actions when he was the one who started the whole gchat thing in the first place.
I kinda love my friend a little more now, though, that's for sure. XD
