Itemwhores

Do you know these people? They are in every guild. If it's epic, they must have it. They will need on every item wether they can use it or not. Wether it's an upgrade or not. Wether it supports their spec or not. If it's nice and purple, they need. Simple as that. Without having a clue what it really does for them. For that purpose they invented DKP (=dragon kill points). You earn points for the time you invest and you can spend them on items. This however leads to different problems.

Whispers I got in the past weeks:

- How much RKP do you have? (RKP = Ravens Kill Points. yeah yeah, we're elitists :D)
Sonia: I got like 600
- Goddamnit, that way I never get my arcanist
Sonia: I do not need on arcanist
- Tnx man!

Now this is even funnier, because I meant I was not needing on it, because there are +damage items which are better. The blue shoulders from AQ20 are damagewise better than most epics while still having reasonable stats. It seems a lot of casters fail to see this. As long as your stats are good enough to survive PvE encounters, all you really want is +damage. (unless ofcourse you play to complete a set or any other roleplay reason)

- Are you gonna need on mageblade (yeah, i am finally on top of the mages/locks. I find this a normal question)
Sonia: yes
- Can you please pass, I really want that item.
Sonia: ??
- Please pass on it, I am waiting so long for it
Sonia: I will not pass on it. It is on my wishlist
- But your warlock already has one

Ok, if we were a hardcoreraiding guild I could even understand that last remark a little, but we are not! I am gearing up my mage and accumulated enough points to get the mageblade when it drops. What is it with people? Never ever would I ask someone to pass on an item I want. You raid for it, you get it! Easy as that. If it's not your turn yet, you wait patiently untill it is your turn. Not being able to be glad for someone else because he gets a good item, instead whining that they would have wanted it. Argghhh, it drives me mad sometimes. I wonder if these people will survive in RL where this happens from day to day.

- I hope some Arcanist drops today
Sonia: well eventually it will
- I never seem to get any stuff
Sonia: Isn't this like your 2nd or 3th raid?

Life must really suck for some people...

passing for others is a good thing, whispering for priority is a really bad thing!
