I’ll start by saying this is just wrong, but after I saw the level 70 WoW warlock with the +healing necklace, even though I know it’s wrong of me, I laughed. Armory Challenge! Find the worst player EVER. I don’t know if they’ve started coding the opt-out system for the armory yet, but it’s a foregone conclusion they’ll have to, and since the harassed will claim they weren’t aware of the opt-out, might as well revamp the entire armory as an opt-in and be done with it.

Where in the WoW?
Full on Rogues and Gnomes
My World of Warcraft guild officers announced recently that we should consider reopening recruitment.
Let me take 10 seconds to consider it. …
Ok, I’ve considered — WE HAVE TOO MANY GUILDMEMBERS. STILL.
I was offline for a few days, I come back and there’s three new names in guild chat. ??!!?? Where did these people come from, asked I. Actually, the words I chose were, “who the fuck is *NewPriest*?” and “who the fuck is *NewWarrior*?” Because goddamit, recruiting was closed for a reason … WE HAVE TOO MANY GUILDMEMBERS.
Answers: Oh, *NewRogue* is the one woman’s husband. (Interesting. I had no idea she was married, and may I be the first to think what a curious relationship that must be.)
*NewPriest1* is a roommate of a guildmate. (So?)
*NewPriest2* is best friend’s forever of another guildmate. (So?)
*NewWarrior* was a pre-BC (Burning Crusade) app we pitied.
So, to back up my very unpopular opinion, I took a look at our roster, both our internally generated roster and the Armory … because my guild’s roster and equipment is still available in the Armory, unlike certain guilds that are excluded for some reason.
Here it is, cleverly anonymized so I don’t get in-game fan mail and requests for autographs gold.
63 raiding guildmembers?? We need to lose 1/3 of our roster to get back down to fighting weight and the officers want to be Ellis Island and welcome the huddled masses.
