Wanted to thank......
giantpack — Sat, 09/25/2010 - 11:21All of you that really considered me and took my app more serious than just a bashing fest. I appreciate all the positive comments and onsideration to inviting me to DF. I decided to join another guild, I had been patient for over a month with no inv or really further comments on my app. So GL to all of u on ICC and RS25 best wishes.
Giantpack
Just checkin on my app
giantpack — Mon, 09/13/2010 - 19:26Just checking in on my application. I see nothing new :(. I would like to say 1 thing without making people mad. It amazed me that alot of the people that responded on my app about an incident in a pug, but yet i am specced right, geared right and gem and enchanted correctly but yet no comments on that. I have raided with you guys multiple times and had very minimal mistakes and was "good" in the raids but no other consideration on my app otherwise :(. Hopefully im still considered and hopefully i can get more invites to your raids or even Downfall itself.
One comment on your gear.
chaca — Tue, 09/21/2010 - 21:12When I raided with you I saw 5 pieces of tier 10. I'll suggest to change the gloves for Rotface's ones. You'll be better off with those.
You're a good cat... unfortunately, as we told you before, we have a shit ton of feral kittys raiding already in both DF 25 man. That makes it hard to get you in if you want a raid spot.
My gear
giantpack — Wed, 09/22/2010 - 13:07Yes I have 5 pieces tier 5. I also have Cat burgler grips, and i have the ones from reg Rotface. They akk have similar stats so I have been testing them out. I see that there are many feral druids in Downfall. I dont think there will be room for me other than a fill in spot and that ranges from 1 time a week to none avail for weeks at a time.
Been really busy this week
giantpack — Fri, 09/03/2010 - 11:30Sorry I have been really busy this week. Was just checking in on my app to see if it was still here. Hope you all had success in ICC this week. Hope to see you all next week at the next raid :)
Been coming to ICC25 with us
Onrique — Sat, 08/28/2010 - 07:15Been coming to ICC25 with us for a week or 2 and he has been pulling his weight well. Attitude has been fine.
response
giantpack — Sat, 08/28/2010 - 11:41Not only do I thank you for your support, but your profile pic is fucking hilarious...lol....Thanks for all the invites to ICC and so on I have alot of fun raiding with DF!! Hope to see u at the next raid :)
Thanks again
giantpack — Wed, 08/25/2010 - 16:00FANTASTIC RAID!!!! We owned Heroic PP. Had tons of fun guys thanks for the invite with the hope of many more to come. See you all at the next raid :).
Monday's ICC25
giantpack — Tue, 08/24/2010 - 17:21Wanted to thank you all for inviting me back last night. It was a totally smooth run, and my apologies for BQ :(. I had a ton of fun and goin back to Ulduar was fun pounding the crap out of that place. Hope to see you all at the next raid :)
Parses for the horrible
saedo — Tue, 08/24/2010 - 22:31Parses for the horrible raid: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/ctrtstwafq7zs42q/
WOW look at the interest your
Onrique — Thu, 08/19/2010 - 22:20WOW look at the interest your application has gotten!
Ok, I have read and reread this application and all the comments posted in it. Giantpack's mistake has been pointed out. I can see that he admitted his mistake and has apologized NUMEROUS times. We never let an applicant in on 1 good raid performance or 1 good conversation. To take all the good things said about giantpack and have them all be erased based on 1 incident is not fair. The officers are discussing what to do about this application, so, for now...
THIS TOPIC IS DEAD!!!!
If you have something relevant to discuss about this application that has nothing to do with that GKP, feel free, otherwise let's move on.
Just wanted to make this statement
giantpack — Fri, 08/20/2010 - 12:27First off I want to say thank you for your consideration on my application. I also wanna thank you for having to deal with this small issure that turned out to be a huge issue with some of your members. I dont think alot of you realize that I have alot of respect for alot of members in Downfall. I run with not only members of Downfall but also alot from other top guilds on the server. I respect everyone equally and give everyone an equal opportunity run with me. I dont prejudge anyone and im pretty open individual. Yes I have a strong opinion, but thats my right as a person, as you all have the same right as well. You state your about the greater community of our realm. I think the ones that commented negative multiple times on my app havent run with me often and dont know that I help out alot of people. I am not in a guild and I really dont have to do that at all, but I do all the time I feel that if u help people, karma will return the favor to you. Dont judge me because of 1 issue because everyone has a bad day. Thanks again hope to see you all in the next raid :)
Giant had a bad day?
Fradeecat — Thu, 08/19/2010 - 20:35All the runs i've been in with Giantpack he's never been a asshole....He actually taught me most of my feral cycle What he told me boosted me 4k+ dps and he's always helpful....Even in our ICC run he was helping me w/ mistakes i never caught before. So i'm guessing Giantpack was having a bad day in that GKP because he's never been as bad as that sounds....
Thanks again for the inv to your ICC25 Heroic run tonight
giantpack — Thu, 08/19/2010 - 00:22The run was very smooth and relaxed. Even though we wiped al night it was a really good run. H PP on 25man is no joke of a fight, and replacing people and bringing replacements doesnt make it any easier, so thanks again for the inv, hope to get more. Srry if my execution was a lil off tonight hadnt done PP on Heroic in a month or so. If any of you have any suggestions about my performance or on anything i can improve on let me know :)
Im glad whatever semi drama
Onrique — Thu, 08/19/2010 - 00:38Im glad whatever semi drama we had got squashed.
You pulled your weight tonight well, and you were pleasant to have in raid. I would enjoy having you back.
Im glad
giantpack — Thu, 08/19/2010 - 01:57Same here man, I hate drama. Im glad we could get passed it and move on hope to see u all in the next raid :)
I heard through the grapevine
Onrique — Thu, 08/12/2010 - 23:39I heard through the grapevine that your behavior in a downfall raid does not reflect your behavior in a general PUG raid.
Apparantly in downfall raids, you are a killer person to have around and are very respectful and a welcome addition.
I also heard that in a GKP run, you were very rude to the other people in the run, talked a LOT of trash about the other people and smoked a joint in the middle of the raid.
Here's the deal im going to give you: I haven't raided with you EVER, so before I pass judgement, ill allow you to say your piece. We have no room in this guild for elitist pricks, cocky assholes or internet dickheads. Elitist guilds get their reputations for being that way based mostly on the behavior of 3-4 individuals. 1 person being an asshat is pretty significant when you think of it that way.
Forgive me for being direct, but that's how it is. Your application is very close to being taken down and best wishes being given to you. So... am i blowing something up out of proportion that never happened, or is what I heard legit?
Hey GP
Praetahim — Wed, 08/18/2010 - 22:55Hey, I'm trying to app here to man so I wanted to add my two cents in. I haven't read every post on here about GP but reguardless of what others out side this guild have said about GP, my first impression of him was he was a cocky Duchebag, (Sorry GP just trying to be honest). BUT the other day in Naxx10 me and GP got a chance to raid with each other and even got a chance to talk to each other over vent. I feel the GP i got to talk to over vent was really cool and a pretty nice fun guy to have around. We had a few issues with some of the raiders. ok mostly it was one raider, and GP commented on her raiding skills some negative remarks were said. I am not pointing a finger of judgement at him for his words or actions, when in truth we all were making the same comments. So its easy for someone to spread false truths about a player or just distort some of the facts to make them look bad. But the hardest aspect of this game to me and someone like GP is keeping a positive public image. Its not that were bad raiders or duchebags, its just that we are who we are and we're not ultra sencitive about what we say or what we do.
I believe Giantpack makes a great skilled raider and in a close nit community he'd do great. Some people need that chance to step up to be mature and to show their better side. Some people take me as rude and i'm having to watch what I say in Trade chat and in pug raids cause personally I'm tired of pugs and i'm tired of raiding with guilds just can't get developed cause their to relaxed on who they let try out and stay. I'm glad there's guild's like DF out there and rather I get in or not, i'll always respect a guild like this, and continue to be friends with the guild members i know and the new guild members i've met recently. I can only hope GP can see this post. I know he'll do well in this guild. /salute bro! take care man, and good luck.
hey GP
giantpack — Wed, 08/18/2010 - 23:25I have to fully agree with Rachel, on every aspect. I think that alot of players just get tired of pugs. I truely belive that everyone in this game has the skill to play it. I really think that most of the time when people fail in pugs is that they take a relaxed attitude about the raid cause its a pug which in return causes unecessary wipes and wasted time. In that aspct it can really frustrate a whole raid. But I also agree that "douchebagery" as everyone has called it really isnt necessary, and most of the time unwanted. but when u have 25 diffrent people with most of the time 25 diffrent personaltities things can be taken the wrong way. I am personally tired of pugs. I am looking for a guild thats chill, can down bosses and have fun doin it together(no matter how long we wipe on H PP).
U heard through the grapevine
giantpack — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 06:38Well what u heard about me smoking a joint in the middle of a GKP is correct I did during trash. If you got accurate information you would know we wiped for 2hrs on Rotface Heroic and been raiding for 3hrs with no break. As being an elitist jerk I was not. Just to be frank like you are I dont think of myself as the best player ever. I do think I am a bettter player than some that I raid with in pugs. Which is the reason i am applying for DF, because DF is a better guild filled with better players. I have raided with some DF members and I dont act like that with them. If your worried about me acting like an elitist jerk, I think you should raid with me before u pass judgement. If you choose to pass on my application because of what someone else said then I totally understand.
Has elapsed never told you
Sargus — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 09:42Has elapsed never told you what I do to pugs? and a HUGE LOL about the smoking joint. did you see a unicorn?
Has Elapsed....
giantpack — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 12:53HUGE LOL on the Unicorn...
I was in the GKP last night.
Atar — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 08:23I was in the GKP last night. Giantpack was a different person compared to when I brought him to RS a week ago.
Heres my two
Maltoheals — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 07:29Heres my two cents.........
A lot goes into building a Community and building one with quality is even harder...... I understand wanting to join a group or community that is "Better" but it should go beyond that.... Perhaps it is just me but when I app'd here I did not app because the guild was full of better raiders...... The guild I came from was close in that category but rather I app'd due to the fact that the community was strong and tight nit and they were respectful of others.........
That Guild tag above your head should mean something and should be something to be proud of........ It should be respected in the greater community and that respect is earned by it's members actions so I am sure you understand any reservations that may arise if such a contrast is drawn between when your with those in the DF community and those in the greater community......
If you were a jerk to under skilled players then perhaps in the future rethink those actions ....... Because I would think if you were wearing a DF tag it would be in your best interest to assit to improve a group that is failing with what you can bring to the table rather then tearing it down by exciting the emotional mood of the group........
Whether the "Rumor" is true or not perhaps this is an opportunity to rethink these types of actions no matter who you might be running with.......
In short, the weight you pull
Onrique — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 07:41In short, the weight you pull with the guild community is greater than that which you may pull during a raid. We have passed on some greatly geared and skilled players because they we McDouches.
I don't like hearing about these things. Ive been playing this game longer than 95% of the active population on this server and Ive seen some real acts of douchebaggery in my time here. When having the responsibility of bringing someone along to a raid, or inviting them to the guild, the decisions of the officers are important, as 1 person can and will impact the game expirience of everyone involved.
Off to work, Ill check back with this when i get home around 7.
Fully agree and kind of what
Maltoheals — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 09:32Fully agree and kind of what I was trying to say with my all too wordy self lol
My comment is directed at Giant....,..
Just trying to stay active with my input into the process when I can
My entire point was that you
Onrique — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 07:13My entire point was that you are allegedly a very different person in a DF raid than you are in a PUG. Being more plaesant to us because we may be "better" than a pug gkp isn't a very good thing.
I will not pass judgement on your abilities as a player, as I have never raided with you. That isn't fair.
.My entire point........
giantpack — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 23:12I first off wanna apologize if in any way my actions were considered to be mean. I was actually on my end, having a blast either way. Second off I was also trying to tell the raid that making the same mistakes over and over and over again isnt good playin at all. There are people in there that are relying on the members to do their job, which about 5-6 were failing at the same thing for 2 hrs on 1 boss that is pretty simple to achieve in a pug. I understand that some people take things sensatively but I am not perfect and my expression might be taken the wrong way. I dont know about the rest of you but I enjoy playing WoW. I have limited time to play and I would enjoy the company of a goood guild that enjoys playing together, and also can be successful at clearing content. I dont go into raids thinking i am an elitist jerk. I go in to have fun.
I think Malto and Onrique
Threerick — Fri, 08/13/2010 - 23:46I think Malto and Onrique covered it perfectly.
I was in that GKP on my priest and I'm new to range. First 2-3 attempts I was still getting used to being a ranged dps and got hit by slime sprays a couple of times and died early. And you called the people that were failing "Fucking Retards" I'm pretty sure I can only take that in 1 way. After the 2-3 attempts I got used to being ranged and didn't die till the end of fights and I still got taxed by the raid leader.
Your dps means nothing to us. Good dps is good, but your attitude when in and out of a downfall raid means much more to us.
