Just how much of a "big deal" was Fires of Heaven back in the day?

[kaev]

I didn't raid classic, and was on a different server (Tunare). But yeah, FoH got noticed and Furor came off as the biggest dick in a pack of dicks (as was true of many other "top" guilds and their leaders.) At the same time, the post quoted above, arrogant as it was/is, was not as extreme in its arrogance as the shitty game design he was reacting to was extreme in its shittiness. I never saw anything generate that level of anger/unhappiness/nerdrage on live until years later when the GoD expansion drove many of the competitive raider types to WoW, from which most never returned.
