Did You Say Something...?

Quit your whining.

I’ve told you all repeatedly that I’m bad at answering tells and don’t always read raid/guild/officer chat and to say something in vent if you want my attention. Unless you’ve been a GM and/or RL - or both at the same time like me - you have no freaking idea what my screen looks like most days. So let me help you out. Here are a few of the (MANY!!!) reasons I may not answer you thereby ensuring your feelings are hurt, you feel neglected, and you go all emo for the next four hours:

I’m tabbed out….

* Doing raid research

* Looking up potential recruits

* Checking to see if you enchanted/gemmed the gear you got since historically you’ve been a slacker when it comes to that

* Reading blogs so I can remember I’m not the only one being slowly driven mad by my guild

* Anything else that makes me happy and it’s none of your business


I have 13 other people whispering me at the time…

* “Can I buy _______ out of the gbank?”

* “Is your guild recruiting?”

* “Why didn’t I get X piece of loot when I’ve been here longer/show up more/am cuter and therefore more deserving?”

* “So-and-so is being mean/offensive/ignoring me.”

* “Why am I on standby when I’m the best DPS ever/best healer ever/only missed 3 days last week/feeling punished for no reason?”


I’m not reading…

* /Gchat because you all were talking about cars/sex/your epeen/nonsense and I don’t care

* /Officer chat because you were bickering/insulting me/bitching/talking nonsense/arguing

* /Raid chat because your emotes have pushed aside anything that may have been important/you’re bragging about your DPS or heals/you’re talking about nonsense that has nothing to do with the raid

* Anything at all because I’m buried in all of the above and just truly missed it


And you can fully expect me to truly be ignoring any of the following…

* “What time are we raiding?” - It never changes…are you really asking this?

* “Are we raiding?” - Is it a raid night?

* “What are we raiding?” - You know I don’t announce this ahead of time and, duh, it’s probably ICC 25 unless it’s Saturday and, Dumbass, it doesn’t matter as you should be here for anything we raid.

* “What are you wearing?” - ‘Nough said.

* Absolutely anything I choose that is not raid related when I have /DND Raid Time up. Seriously, did you think that didn’t mean you?


So stop complaining, grab my attention in vent, and get over it. Unless you’re a masochist and like feeling abused in which case keep doing what you’re doing. And I will keep not seeing your comments.
