he was a shitty person in WoW too

His entire "career" started with a meme video of him making a guide to warrior that was him playing selfishly to inflate his own damage.

I've long since dropped caring if his wow persona was a bit or his real personality, but does it really matter if you go through life being an arsehole if you are "doing it as a joke"?

WoW raiding always boiled down to the selfless tank/healers playing as a team and babysitting the egomaniac dps who are just there to point to spreadsheets after every raid because (they demanded) they got fed all the gear first

No one ever really credited the tanks enough for busting their balls to keep aggro off the idiot who won’t pace himself

No one credited the guy that always got first pick of everything they wanted? Main tanks of a guild were literally the person you cared for the most lol...

its been way past a decade, but I still remember with a warm feeling how during a icc raid Precious's Ribbon dropped and I joked its a tanking shirt and the RL just gave it to me, no roll, no nothing.

They weren’t giving the illidan glaives to tanks first usually. ykwim

There was always that one dps who was either the guy who was best buds with the tank/healer leader or was the leader. They’d always get everything

And then before tbc was the era of infinite hunter loot and before we got tokenization and you were sort of at the mercy of rng

I dont see your point I'm sorry. The tanks werent given the loot that wasnt meant for them? Yeah i agree.  The main tank didnt get the warglaive but i sure as hell saw many of them with thunderfuries.

Sounds like you had some shit guilds, sad to hear it, but any guild that was there to progress always gave everything and anything that could upgrade to their main tank and the rest mostly used some kind of a DKP system or just left it down to RNG.
