Normally when I do tips on what to do and what not to do to irritate the WoW world that you live in, I don’t name names. I am upset enough about this one that I am going to name this persons name in hopes that someone reads this and avoids this happening to them.

The main question at hand is at which point do you owe it to a guild to help them keep progressing? How long after receiving what I have referred to in the past as an elite piece of gear do you need to stay and help those around you? Yes, it’s your $15 a month, but by taking [Mantle of the Avatar] (T5), (The first set I might add), and the only set of [Boots of the Divine Light] in a guild, you have gimped their ability to progress. Basically that gear doesn't belong to you, it belongs to you and 24 other people who help you get it.

Let me back up just a little bit. We as a guild are now 3 of 6 in SSC, 1 of 4 in TK, and have downed Rage Winterchill. There was a member of our guild named Kruelladevil, who has been in the guild for a while. It has always been known that Kruell hated playing a holy priest, and preferred shadow, but respec’d every time we raided in order to get a raid spot. We raid with shadow priests, and would not have been denied a spot being shadow. We even use a couple of strats on bosses that require them. (See Void Reaver). We have been farming Rage Winterchill and the trash to Anetheron for weeks.

Due to the fact that Kruell is a raider, he was given loot priority just like the rest of us. When we farm Kara/Mag/Gruul, we take alts and such as there is no reason for us to take our T5 raiders in there anymore. Kruell has a Shaman he has started to play more and more. He has been taking it into Kara/Mag/Gruul and wanted to start taking it to T5 level raids instead of his priest. This is an enhancement shaman, so not only do we lose a healer; we in its place pick up a poorly geared, underplayed shaman. Although this isn’t a HUGE loss as Kruell spent more time dead than alive on his priest anyway … He would easily double the number of deaths of the priests. He never did quite get the hang of a little thing called agro management.

Off of the trash drops in Hyjal, Kruell picked up the first pattern for [Boots of the Divine Light] (BOP) that Defiant has recieved. The following week, we drop VR for the first time and he nabs [Mantle of the Avatar]. At this point, Defiant as a whole has invested time, gold, and effort into his now T5/T6 toon. This is two weeks ago. He now this week removes his toon from Defiant, telling us he is no longer going to raid with Kruell, but would still like to take his Shaman on raids with us. Basically he removed the priest so he could get priority with his Shaman.

He's an idiot if he thought we would even consider giving him a drop off hogger after doing this.

If you see Kruelladevil apply for your guild on Greymane, tell him to piss off. You DON’T want him. He will STEAL from your guild. This is just wrong! Now whatever guild a person does this to not only has to replace that person, but are now set back 2 weeks, (assuming those drop two weeks in a row I might add), to replace the gear that was stolen from them.

As an FYI, this is the second time that I know of that he has gimped a guild in this fashion.
