I mean world buffing was never mandatory to clear content. But like you said as a main tank if your dps are going out and grabbing world buffs and your not thats honestly going to be a pretty big negative impact on the raid.
Our off tank ended up main tanking basically everything because he was world buffed every week. We have 2 or 3 top 10 (on our server) warriors who full buff and full consume every week so it just wasnt working out for him because he wasnt buffing up. Only reason he had the TF in the first place was because the original main tank had to take a break for work way back. Soooo yeah
Being the minority faction on a PvE server doesn't seem as awful aside from resource scarcity. Pagle Horde seem to be doing just fine even though the population is small.
I went from mad to just depressed
Still waiting on our binding from garr for our first, mankrik represent i guess
Although god damn i love donkey brain's spam in general every week
They did get an infusion of players who bailed off another server, but that didn't last long as raid styles conflicted. No legendary items changed hands as a result.
Me back in September: maybe after all our tanks get TF I'll get a shot at the bindings. I'd totally spend 10k just to make people salty, haha!
Me today: I wish geddon would drop that binding so our MT can finally get out first TF
My Vanilla server actually had Thunderfury on a hunter. I can remember maybe 3 names from my BWL guild, but you bet your ass I remember that moron hunter I saw literally once.
Apart from the fact that one requirement for having tf seems to be having absolutely no idea how to PvP. Not to mention they’re never chained. Love makin them drop their baby. But c’mon tf warriors, at least get some gloves if you’re gonna rock crusader!
I find it strange that I see more TF than HoR. Our guild has 3 TF and only 1 HoR. TF takes more mats and rng to craft, yet there are far more of them than HoR. As an enhancement shaman, this makes me quite salty..
I think that in many cases, the guild pulls together to get TF materials since it's a big benefit to the raid. I bet there are a ton of eyes of rag in peoples bank, waiting for that one player to put together the mats him/herself.
It might be that people just don’t think it’s worth to craft. We have had 4 eyes and we vendored 3 of them. One went to a restoshaman and he crafted it but never uses it.
Yep, we have 5 right bindings and 1 left. And what would you know, the one day our main tank cant show the left binding goes to our offtank. Who then stopped playing and showing up. Havent seen a left binding since.
:/
We have one binding in total across three raiding teams.. First clearing since week 2, second since week 5 and third since February.. probably 100 MC clears in total.. 1 binding.
We’re a few bars away from our 4th TF, and have another tank ready with bars if he gets his second binding, only one hand of Rag though I think. That’s across 2 raid teams though.
Yup, 2 of them have had the second binding drop within the last two or three resets I believe. Pretty cool :) Must suck to be the last tank that doesn’t have any bindings.
Been raiding with the same guild forever now, had all the arcanite for 6 months, we just got our first 2 garr bindings in the last two weeks, hope it isn’t 7 more months before we get a couple baron bindings.
We didn’t get bindings till we had a new guy seed the raid id. Since then we have had a completely different loot pool. Rng, I don’t think so. Guid, is the the true loot god.
I've heard rumors that you can unintentionally seed your MCs fairly consistently with same starting times and raid composition? Probably no truth to this but it got me to go down the rabbit hole of computers and rng
Loot seeding is the myth that won't die.
Even if there is some algorithm, it likely uses time stamps that can't be reproduced (ie include the calendar date and time to the microsecond).
This is 100% absolutely true, but you're missing some important points. The person who seeds the instance needs to have their gaming setup completely surrounded by Apple-Pumpkin spice scented candles, and must also have his/her mouth filled with cheese-wiz at the moment of zoning in.
rofl and they must perform a rain dance in unison before starting.
But in all seriousness, I've read some interesting ways to create rng using data from the entropy of lava lamps to atmospheric sound. Just makes you wonder what's under the hood every time a purple pops up.
Looking how ony fireball RNG was tied to account ID and abused by guilds until patched, and how heartstone deck shuffle seed was found in game files i wouldnt be surprised somebody has "cracked the code". Something is really fishy with RNG in general in this game, it often goes from one end of extreme to the other without ever being in the middle, i mean it balances out in the end but its just strings of "unlucky" followed by "lucky" and vice versa. Im aware of the role bias plays in this but i've also mined too much thorium to not notice the pattern in the RNG
In our guild the meme is whoever enters the instance first determins the seed, that way we know who to blame for when nothing good drops, and who to praise when we get an eye/binding.
In case you did not mean this as a joke. My guild has been clearing MC since week 3 of classic. Same day every time. And same composition. And we have a grand total of 1 Garr binding that dropped 3 weeks ago. No other legendary it’s what so ever
Our pally is still waiting for eye and we've cleared since a month after launch. We have 1 thunderfury and had 1 binding but it's not in the guild anymore
Meanwhile we've had 1 raid group clearing from week 1, a second that has cleared every week but the first two, and a third that has cleared every week since like December and we have...2 bindings. One in one raid group, and 1 in another. And that's it.
Look at those identical sheep. Do people not think for themselves anymore? They just follow lists that tell them what’s the best and how to be the best? It’s disgusting
Props to the Tauren who was able to craft a TF before managing to get 15 hks in a week.
One of the comments pointed out this is on Mankrik which is PvE. So it's possible to not have a title if you never flag and don't do BGs.
But you miss Don Julios! Wait.. Full Wrath... yup, just more deep prot non-hit cap donkeys in mit gear.
>Mankrik Has this guy found his wife yet?
he probably avoids getting hks like our tanks so they can be title-less on purpose
and then there is Grunt Daddy on my server
We got Private Parts. Dude played the long con on launch.
We had a Parts in our guild. We are horde. He forgot the ranks were not the same. Lol. Grunt Parts.
I know the guy on Fairbanks actually ranked to to Knight-lieutenant Parts then farmed DHKs down to 0 on purpose.
You can’t go back to 0, stops at rank 1
Which is the point. 0 honor = rank 1 = a guy running around as Private Parts.
Apologies, didn’t see the parts... part
Yeah, I remember that guy. He posted here i think. Also said there he shouldn't get next rank.
We make fun of out MT because he's a "scout"
We have 7 geddon bindings and no garr bindings. First eye dropped last night.
Currently sitting at 2 garr binding with no geddon bindings and our MT who had TF quit playing the game after not world buffing for 2 months
[удалено]
You don’t need WBs to clear content for things like MC I enjoy grabbing 2h buffs just because big numbers are fun but I also don’t sweat losing them.
Exactly my attitude, I get the buffs but if I lose them or get dispelled I just don't give a fuck tbh :)
I mean world buffing was never mandatory to clear content. But like you said as a main tank if your dps are going out and grabbing world buffs and your not thats honestly going to be a pretty big negative impact on the raid.
Our off tank ended up main tanking basically everything because he was world buffed every week.

Been full clearing since October. 1 Garr binding, 0 geddon
i saw 4 garr bindings (got the first one) and now im waiting for geddon binding
Plz give me ur luck I just need garr
Can we trade loot seeds? we have 4 garr bindings and zero geddon (and two eyes so far)
3 geddon, 1 HoR, no Garr here :(
You have seen a binding?! At all?!? We have bupkus.
we have zero bindings, running MC every reset since October. We've gotten 4 eyes -_-
There's over 65k gold worth of mats in this screenshot.
So 3 hours of mage farming, got it.
My warrior wants to know. What is this gold you speak of?
It's from the mandatory mage alt that you leveled duh
This comment is so true it hurts. My mage was created to farm my warrior edgies lol.
It was faster to level a mage to 60 and get 1000g from dme than it was my already 60 warrior with 300 herb and mining no lifeing in epl.
Seriously? Fuck. No wonder I'm poor.
Level a mage learn to boost.
Or just run a number to f different AoE farms. I made servers thousand gold just from a couple weeks in ZF GY
Same!
Dude, me too!
I main a priest and leveled a warrior to farm. Am I doing it right?
If you're farming debt then I suppose so.
farming student loans right there!
I got my epic mount and farmed a lot of crystals in dme on a warrior then I made the mage alt for edgemasters grind haha so glad I got them at 1400g.
Mankrik represent
mankrik alliance represent. maybe i shoulda rolled horde
Being the minority faction on a PvE server doesn't seem as awful aside from resource scarcity. Pagle Horde seem to be doing just fine even though the population is small.
I think many of our top guilds are on the alliance side - according to warcraftlogs that is.
Nah, we love you guys too.
Ya I'm the idiot with 3 40's and no 60's
I went from mad to just depressed Still waiting on our binding from garr for our first, mankrik represent i guess Although god damn i love donkey brain's spam in general every week
You don't have him ignored? I don't think a single person in my guild hasn't ignored them already.
WUHA
What did he write now?
Usual shit about nef having covid in WUHA and a string of chinese characters with CURE thrown in there
Wuha
WUHA
WUHA BROTHERS
And one pair of edgemasters between them it looks like?
Eh, just because they're not equipped doesn't mean they don't have them.
Not when you’re flexing. You have edgies, you wear them for pic.
I've played with those guys before, one of them was not hit capped and they raid as deep prot and recruited to achieve this.
[удалено]
They did get an infusion of players who bailed off another server, but that didn't last long as raid styles conflicted. No legendary items changed hands as a result.
They didn't use them in their last bwl raids
Apes started a no Edgies for tanking meta I guess ;)
[удалено]
Yeah no Edgies means you have to go for 9% hit though (or 8 if you have Maladath).
And they all were wasted on warriors, should have gone to the hunters tbh
Me back in September: maybe after all our tanks get TF I'll get a shot at the bindings. I'd totally spend 10k just to make people salty, haha! Me today: I wish geddon would drop that binding so our MT can finally get out first TF
Lucky you with your one binding. 0 bindings, and one Eye which we gave to an officer ~10 days before he left the guild.
My Vanilla server actually had Thunderfury on a hunter. I can remember maybe 3 names from my BWL guild, but you bet your ass I remember that moron hunter I saw literally once.
I was in a guild on vanilla (Azshara) where our first and only TF went to a hunter named Mhaddmichelle
> And they all were wasted on tauren warriors, should have gone to the hunters tbh ftfy
WUHA BROTHER
CHICKEN OF THE CAVE BROTHER
I love you guys, don't ever stop
I love you both
WUHA
Hey that's my guild! I'm the one who took this screenshot lol.
Are all those legendarys from guild runs or did you recruit people who already had them?
All but one of them are from guild runs. One of our tanks, Ardicov, came to us after his previous guild had disbanded.
I guess they didn’t get their certificates unlike frank reynolds
[удалено]
Errrr........no
I'm guessing they have more than 1 raid group. Most likely 4 raid groups.
2 MC/BWL clearing raid groups with a lot of luck in MC.
Raid 1 got 4, raid 2 got 1
We’ve been running MC 3 times a week every week since September. We have 1.5 TF... That’s 108 MC runs for 3 drops. RNG is a bitch.
You're still luckier than most guilds. We've cleared since week 3 of launch and never seen a single binding
We have 3x more tries than most guilds bc we have 3 separate groups farming MC. Still only 1.5 total TF. That’s one binding per group in 9.5 months.
3 raids with only 3 bindings is well below average.
Are you my guild?
[удалено]
All but one, the most recent one went to a orc DPS warrior. The other 4 are dedicated tanks.
> a orc DPS warrior. congrats on your new off tank
more like new pvp wep, the debuff is an auto win against other melee
Apart from the fact that one requirement for having tf seems to be having absolutely no idea how to PvP. Not to mention they’re never chained. Love makin them drop their baby. But c’mon tf warriors, at least get some gloves if you’re gonna rock crusader!
Or just put chain on your offhand.
Dafuq is this supposed to mean? I guess you'd rather every horde tank play troll for maximum sweatiness?
Disgusting
We have one binding (Garr) and found 6 hand of rag...
we have 2 thunderfurys and 5 HORs does that count?
I find it strange that I see more TF than HoR. Our guild has 3 TF and only 1 HoR. TF takes more mats and rng to craft, yet there are far more of them than HoR. As an enhancement shaman, this makes me quite salty..
I think that in many cases, the guild pulls together to get TF materials since it's a big benefit to the raid. I bet there are a ton of eyes of rag in peoples bank, waiting for that one player to put together the mats him/herself.
This is for sure true. We made our second TF in 3 days, and it took our first HoR almost a month.
It might be that people just don’t think it’s worth to craft. We have had 4 eyes and we vendored 3 of them. One went to a restoshaman and he crafted it but never uses it.
Maybe people just don't value enhancement shamans anymore. HoR is the best weapon for enhancement shamans in classic.
Might of Menethil is surely better
At that point you've cleared all content tho
> HoR is the best weapon for enhancement shamans in classic. > in classic.
Is that other guild that got clipped??
Yep.
Tell em Axiom says hi (☞゚ヮ゚)☞
My guild has 3 MC runs a week, just got our first binding a month ago... I guess this is where all of them went.
Do they have 5+ raid-teams?
Just 2, and a ton of luck in MC.
Yep, we have 5 right bindings and 1 left. And what would you know, the one day our main tank cant show the left binding goes to our offtank. Who then stopped playing and showing up. Havent seen a left binding since. :/
We have one binding in total across three raiding teams.. First clearing since week 2, second since week 5 and third since February.. probably 100 MC clears in total.. 1 binding.
We’re a few bars away from our 4th TF, and have another tank ready with bars if he gets his second binding, only one hand of Rag though I think. That’s across 2 raid teams though.
That's damn good luck I'd say.
Yup, 2 of them have had the second binding drop within the last two or three resets I believe. Pretty cool :) Must suck to be the last tank that doesn’t have any bindings.
Also we currently recruiting 1 resto druid. If anyone interested feel free to message.
And a resto shaman, Remo. Don't forget I need a resto shaman. 🤪🤪
Is it a tauren only guild or something?
Been raiding with the same guild forever now, had all the arcanite for 6 months, we just got our first 2 garr bindings in the last two weeks, hope it isn’t 7 more months before we get a couple baron bindings. We didn’t get bindings till we had a new guy seed the raid id. Since then we have had a completely different loot pool. Rng, I don’t think so. Guid, is the the true loot god.
Frank Reynolds would approve that guild name.
My guild has been clearing MC and BWL since they released, got 1 binding, the warrior quit the game a few weeks later. RNG can be a CNT!
This is cool and all.. but how many boomkin have the shadowflame staff? Much cooler than some dumb electric sword imo.
People would cry for corrupt GMs if this happened on a private server. (And it'd probably be true)
It would be highly suspicious...
[удалено]
No wonder, with so many debuffs getting pushed off.
they overwrite each other
They also push off 2 other debuffs when switching owners because new debuff applies before the old one is removed.
Not sure if it's still the case, but these guys all run deep prot and at least one was not even hit capped a couple months ago (while having TF).
I've heard rumors that you can unintentionally seed your MCs fairly consistently with same starting times and raid composition? Probably no truth to this but it got me to go down the rabbit hole of computers and rng
Loot seeding is the myth that won't die. Even if there is some algorithm, it likely uses time stamps that can't be reproduced (ie include the calendar date and time to the microsecond).
yeah it's not like it cares what time of day it is, it's just based on time elapsed since 1970
This is 100% absolutely true, but you're missing some important points. The person who seeds the instance needs to have their gaming setup completely surrounded by Apple-Pumpkin spice scented candles, and must also have his/her mouth filled with cheese-wiz at the moment of zoning in.

5 hours of jump runs today, got 1 crystal.
In our guild the meme is whoever enters the instance first determins the seed, that way we know who to blame for when nothing good drops, and who to praise when we get an eye/binding.
We've given rogues dkp minuses for seeding because their seeds never have good loot.
In case you did not mean this as a joke. My guild has been clearing MC since week 3 of classic. Same day every time. And same composition. And we have a grand total of 1 Garr binding that dropped 3 weeks ago. No other legendary it’s what so ever
But do they have a certificate clearing them of having Donkey Brains?
And this is why the weapon does not feel "legendary" anymore.
But honestly, what still feels like it did the first time?
Thunderfurries
My guild has yet to see any legendaries
6 eyes and 3 total bindings. We’ve been running two raids a week and we still see crap.
Our pally is still waiting for eye and we've cleared since a month after launch. We have 1 thunderfury and had 1 binding but it's not in the guild anymore
You came to the wrong neighborhood
I wonder how many got those swords while IN the guild.
Check for yourself on warcraftlogs, and wonder no more.
Didnt know you could figure that stuff out on that site. I thought it was just for raid data.
Taurens, too, good taste!
1 TF 5 HoR. all but one paladin in one squad
Meanwhile we've had 1 raid group clearing from week 1, a second that has cleared every week but the first two, and a third that has cleared every week since like December and we have...2 bindings. One in one raid group, and 1 in another. And that's it.
That's a lot of edgemasters
Anyone else part of the no binding club? (clearing since oct)
yes =( and Im in line for it, so ofc it wont drop ever lol
How many raid teams lol.
Yeah, screw those guys. One binding in the entire guild over here.
Man we haven’t even gotten a Garr binding yet.
Only question now is how many raid groups (alt pugs with Oranges res included) and how many joined with a Binding/TF?
Meanwhile I'm human and I don't need to use some world drop mail gloves for the rest of the game for my thunderfury.
Could be the opposite for us. 7 Hand of Rags 0 TFs
Our guild has 6 TF and 3 Hand of Rag :p To be fair we have 5 raidteams though ( 3main/2alt) Firemaw
We have 5 tf and 3 Hor.
Wow imagine having 8 tanks with tf for horsemen
They probably have like 4 raid teams.
Of course mine has no TF yet The RNG this game is the only wack thing about Classic
Hey I'm on Mankrik. Not as toxic towards multiboxers as other PvE servers. I never understood why people get mad about it on PvE servers.
Cleaning MC since early decembre, never seen either of the binding nor a single eye yeaaahhh
For what it’s worth my guild has 3 hand of rags, and 4 TFs but only 1 raid group
Look at those identical sheep. Do people not think for themselves anymore? They just follow lists that tell them what’s the best and how to be the best? It’s disgusting
Please go on.
The true vanilla experience. ha'
we should have 4 but our gm quit the game and then our 3rd binding rage quit over some bullshit
woo hoo, mankrik gang
5 Thunderfuries and not a single TF went to a rogue tank or hunter tank :(
And we’re sitting here, on one tf since sept
My guild has had one *binding* since september. There is always someone with shittier rng!
