This is a WoW post.
Hope no one reads this, cause even if you do play WoW it's not very interesting. Trust me on this.
Haha, I just beat some asshole in a stubbornness contest. TL;DR time cause I need to dump this crap from of my brain, but as briefly as possible (cause I've wasted enough time on this idiot): Doing a ZA with some guildies + PUGs, and after a serious streak of crap luck with tanks (3 palas that up and left immediately, or went offline, or idled, and then finally a good warrior that had to be kicked because of connection problems), we end up with the Tank From Hell. Gear-wise he was okay, bit all over the place and some PVP-gear but not TOO bad, but that's pretty much all he had going for him. Started bitching right away, insulting people, talked like he'd done a thousand Zuls and acted like it was his first. So we called him on it, and eventually discussed kicking him (openly in party chat because we were 3 guildies + one nice PUG person). Turns out we can't kick him because we've used all the kicks up, all of us, and now he's throwing a tantrum because we tried to kick him.
Long story still pretty long: He ends up stubbornly refusing both to leave and tank, my guildies leave like the smart, sane people they are, and I decide to wait him out in the hopes of maybe getting my valors and also sticking it to a jerkface who has it coming. I know, silly, but I have PMS and am cranky and it's not often I get a chance to be snarky at people without feeling guilty about it, so I stayed and traded some insults (mine were better!) for a while/an hour. Finally he starts inviting "friends" in order to kick me, which doesn't work presumably because I joined the freaking dungeon long before he did, and I guess they weren't that good friends because they end up kicking him. Winner: ME. HAH! (Yeah, I know, technically there are no winners in this scenario, other than maybe his not-friends who got some easy valor points coming in on the last boss, but whatever okay, let me have this one? I need it.)
So yeah, people are particularly stupid today, I'm more of a bitch that I realized, and tanks are the WORST. In the slightly paraphrased words of my guildie: "I will never again kick a semi-asshole tank so I'll always be able to kick a pro-asshole tank". Note to self, right there.
Another note to self, while I'm at it; do more research on survival huntering. I've already read a LOT, but I really have to get to the bottom of what I'm doing wrong to have my DPS go up and down like a freaking rollercoaster without me changing a thing. I still need moar better gear, I know that, but it's like nothing I add on makes any difference on the whole. Driving me nuts.
