Kim,

I'll start off by apologizing to you personally, since you took the time to message me privately, with kind words.

I apologize for burning bridges (although my real life friends would tell you that I do much worse to them), I have never been good at doing anything in a noble manner (this is more aptly aimed at real life, than online endeavors).

I have written out a reply to some of the posts in this thread, but I am really not sure that I should have. I have watched in game as people from Disgruntled have come on to personally insult me, talk to the leaders of this Guild (who apparently aren't caring too much, I suppose that's good for me, I can get myself /gkick'd based on terrible play), and posted all over the PIC forums.

I don't want this conversation posted anywhere, however, that's your decision, not mine. I am going to give you a copy of my response that I laid out. It's probably not the most detailed response (as far as specifically why I left, it was a culmination of many things, much more of my own personal reason than anything specific with Disgruntled), but I hope it might ease some of the confusion.

This would have been my response:

    Just an FYI, as you're taking Nick into your guild...

    I'm a member in Disgruntled, his old guild. Nick never said a word to anyone and left during the night after taking 6 runed orbs out of the guild bank. He also did this during a 2 week stretch where we're really stuck with only 2 tanks, with a 3rd that can't make every run. I just wanted you guys to know what kind of a guy you're getting.


    I apologize for not giving anyone a heads up, you are all very nice people and didn't deserve me to abandon you. Timing is everything, and sometimes I am very bad it at. Kronos mentioned to me that he wanted to tank before, so I think you guys will be just fine.

    I would like to address the "taking 6 runed orbs out of the guild bank" part. This will come after the next quote.

    Hello Syco/Exo/Stoya,

    Thanks for letting all of us at Disgruntled know you were leaving.  I'd like to especailly thank you for taking 12 runed orbs in the last 2 weeks with 6 of them being on Tuesday night. ( I heard Daisy charged you for them..haha)  We really had too many and we are such a generous group of players.  It's such a joy when  a full time raider ninja transfers. It makes me all warm and fuzzy.

    In all sincerity I would like to  apologize to the the members of "Poor Impulse Control" for bringing this to your forums.  It's not always easy to spot a jackass before he joins.  Good luck to you guys and enjoy your new guildie...just dont trust him.

    I did not "take" any Runed Orbs. I offered Lostt gold for the first 6 that he gave to me, free of charge, several weeks ago (not a couple, certainly not "2 weeks" ago). I immediately made this into my Spiked Death-dealers, BIS tanking boots, crafted by Pigglysquiggly (or whatever his name is). Then, before transferring, I once again asked if I was allowed to purchase Runed Orbs to make another BIS tanking item (my main build). I was allowed to do so, purchased them for 350 gold each (and I also paid for the 30 Saronite Bars as well), and immediately made a BIS tanking belt (as well as purchasing the 12 Titansteel Bars required from the Auction Hall), I don't recall who made it.

    Let's just be clear here and state for the record, that I in no-way-shape-or-form "took" anything from the Guild, ever.

    And insulting me for purchasing an item that I specifically asked you if I could purchase, before you referred me to Daisy, is pretty disheartening (I think that's a civil way to put it).

    Ichaerus – As guild recruiter/leader/whoever you are, I would imagine you are aware that there are all types of players and people out there. Some are good, some suck, and there are many in between. With Nick, you are not going to get a crappy player; you’re going to get this superbly average player who is going to troll your guild looking for somebody to cyber. If that’s what your guild is looking for, then kudos to you.

    Nick – As others have mentioned in this post, your application is “well done,” which is apparently a “rarity” among applicants to Poor Impulse Control. You’ll probably stand out amongst a sea of individuals who I assume can’t write or follow instructions, based on those comments. (Come on, how hard is it to fill out an application?) Anyway, could you at least provide more accurate info when you guild/server hop in the future? Ulduar 10-man? We don’t run that? What have people been doing 3-4 nights a week for the past several months then? I mean, you do have several runed orbs from the 10 man runs, don’t you?


    I would like to know why Garroth is slandering me. I would like to go ahead and make the record known, that I myself have a level 80 Warlock who has been raiding lately. There is no comparison at all between tanking & playing a ranged DPS, as far as skill level is concerned. Perhaps there are some inherent class details of a Warlock that I am not yet used to, but for situation awareness, it's not even in the same league.

    I should have phrased my words more specifically, I was not invited to many of the first 10 mans that the guild ran, I was only later invited by Lostt, to his 10 man run, that was mainly with guild ALTs. I did not want to speak against what was going on, mainly because I just wanted to raid, and because I knew my place at the bottom of the guild. Who was I to question a guild ALT run? I would also like to state, that I had only completed up to Auriaya, in 10 man, more than 2 months after the release of Ulduar. I was looking for more progression than that.

    Apparently my reputation for being a ladies man has carried over to Whisperwind after not once trying to e-Fuck anyone's girlfriend or wife. I'm glad you picked up on that Garroth, when you can come up with a valid screen shot or any sort of legitimate proof of me trying to "cyber" with anyone, I'll give you my account & gold (that I clearly can afford many Runed orbs with).

    Continuing on with the character & maturity that has been displayed from named & anonymous Disgruntled members...

    This recently happened to me in game:

    I would like to state, for the record, that we downed Vezax with no problems (1 shot) with me tanking. So that was just not nice.



As far as saying anything negative about anyone in Disgruntled, you won't find me doing that, anywhere, I have nothing negative to say.

My time was well spent with everyone there and I became a better player with more appreciation (of the game) because of it.

Quote (GuildLaunch PM from thekimber)


Nick, I'm going to miss you! I thought you were a very skilled player and an asset to our raid. I hope PIC gives you the environment you were looking for.

Your departure caught a lot of us by surprise, so some of our responses may be a bit reactionary. A piece of advice from an old lady: try not to burn bridges. :)

Anyway, best of luck on your new endeavor. I'm sure you'll have that Worldcarver soon.

Phlygurl/Kim
