Psh, I turn everything but officer chat off. If they can't bother to get into the vent, then it's probably not busy. Besides, hard to strategize in a BG when half of your text box is taken up by fucktwits asking what they should get on their damn pizza.
Fucktwits indeed. Everyone knows the answer is a big sausage pizza.
And sadly I never made Officer in my guild. I was a good enough player (one of the better ones in my guild in fact), and I did lead raids (wasn't a primary RL, but I lead a couple), but my leadership style tended to get a bit too...abrasive when people were making fucking stupid mistakes for the 50th fucking time, so I guess they thought that unless I could keep my swears away from the microphone, I wasn't officer material.
My Retro Raids always went down a treat though. We never did Gruul, Magtheridon or finished Sunwell (people have trouble avoiding the fire on Giant Skeleton Dragon), but we did everything else.
Funny story: Yesterday my Battle.Net account got hacked and stolen for my WoW account. Now I haven't played WoW in...just over a year now and my account was inactive, but I got my account back quickly (reset the password, thank you secret question). My old guildmate IM'd me telling me my characters were online. Panicking, I ran to my bank details, but noticed that no money had been taken out. I returned to my WoW account and noticed that they'd put a 30 day game card on my WoW account, ostensibly to use my characters to bot with.
Which means that - thanks to a hacker (we believe it was due to a vulnerability in my older version of Adobe Flash which had been exploited before) - I now have a month's free WoW game time.
And according to the armoury, I still have all my purples. Might be a bit short on gold though. Still DLing the client to find out.
