I feel like I am taking crazy pills with this "why does everyone hate us" crap that gets reposted constantly. 2 years of raiding with you bozo's in Kunark is why. The entire server laughs when you fall down and sh!t your pants now because you guys were/are jerks, plain and simple.

Seems there is some kind of weight behind the claims in some ppls minds, albeit in the distant past.

I'm a returning player after a 15 year hiatus, and my interactions so far with BDA have been entirely negative.

Pardon my language, but the most accurate way to describe the members of BDA I've met so far is that of self-important douche bags who hold themselves above the player base.

I've perused the forums here and my experience doesn't seem like an isolated case.

This is probably the most vitriolic and nasty the BDA beef has ever been. I remember last year it was nowhere near this level and it was mostly light hearted jokes and memes.

People joke about macequest this and that recently re: BDA/Swish but there is more truth to that in 2016 than ever. I'm becoming convinced both sides are getting more serious and there is real hate that could carry over outside of the game.

I haven't observed this new level of venom enough yet to make much observations outside of the venom itself. Will continue to check in and report my findings.

I never understood the BDA hate tbh.

You must not have had any exposure to them then.

I have been trained by them at least 4 times in CoM in the past, with no apologies forthcoming. I've also had several encounters with a few of their members who instead of asking nicely, simply sent tells demanding buffs like I'm in they're raid or something or owe them something because of their tag.

With a few bad eggs, it tends to spoil the bunch. At least it did for me.

Did you all meet Snaj <BDA> ?

Wasn't kicked from the guild despite this behavior. Might as well wipe your arse with the BDA "code of conduct" lol

[AzzarTheGod]

Hrm, so is it true Snaj is still tagged? Curious what were leadership comments on this incident? Looks like a real psycho?...

Not sure about now but he certainly still had his tag about a week after the incident. All the officers had time to see what happened and it was RNF headlines.

There is simply no defense for that shit. Snaj behaved deplorably. I would assume that he'll be dealt with very very severely by BDAs officer crew. I want no part of griefers and people using slurs in my guild.

That being said, it's always fun to watch folks with no conflict resolution skills attempt social interactions. That goes for both parties. I watched that video until the 27 min mark and saw all I needed to. Four things came to mind while watching aside from Snaj being a fucking douche nozzle. Again, I want to be upfront and state that there is no excuse for Snaj's reprehensible actions regardless of what transpired.

1. I didn't see you guys refute that you had been away from the camp for 10 mins. I feel like in that circumstance Snaj would be the owner if he is present and you guys are gone for so long. A classic case is the sebilis crypt/emperor fights that flare up from time to time. That being said; I would have expected him to let you guys keep that camp, since he's 60 and you guys are mid 40s and its a piece of shit FBSS worth 5k.

2. Does your enchanter have the clarity spell? Holy crap, I got super fixated on your lack of clarity through the entire time I watched. I don't think you got higher than 55% mana that whole time.

3. Snaj might be right on one thing. Europe may indeed be trash. Your shitty financial situation might just take the rest of the world with you down the drain.

4. If you want a fast resolution to an issue with a BDA member, shoot a tell to any member and ask for an officer. They will for sure immediately address your concern.

Snaj is right about what exactly? Anyhow, what was leadership ruling on Snaj's actions? How was he disciplined if at all?
