Back in the days when eq started tapering off, I was one of the few bards that wasnt some autofollow bot. Lanning at a friends house, we were just screwing around anyways. Some guy sends me a tell that they need a bard for their BoT raid. I asked my friend if it was cool if i went on a raid. He said sure. So I asked the guy how they were doing loot. He said DKP. I told him no thanks, I have no desire to earn dkp with a guild Im not going to raid with frequently( I had my own guild for that). I would gladly participate if loot was CAWU. He went silent for 2 or 3 minutes. Then I got a tell from someone else, who ended up being the guild leader. He agreed to CAWU, and informed his raid as I turned on Selo's with my thunderous drums of Karana.
Everything was a normal raid with loot i didnt care about. Then we came up to the water boss, I think it was. Dropped him. and a wikked shank dropped.

I joined the channel for a chance at it. My friend of course was watching, he kind of chuckled seeing the shank link.
I will never forget, Ever, for the rest of entire life, the RNG rolled a 5. It took all of about 3 second for the who command to go through. And sweet jesus the bitching commenced. 15 yes count them 15 irate pissed rogues because the bard got a cool dagger that happened to have 12% backstab mod. The Bard who always was turned down for platemail because tanks and clerics always needed it first. The bard who always got offered junk ass instrument for his DKP, when they are absolute garbage when you have your epic. SWEET JESUS DIVINE RETRIBUTION IS AN AWESOME THING!
The bard still has his Wikkid Shank on live, not that he ever gets played
when i burn in Hell, i was still get a chuckle out of this.
