That man in the first story was born with his entire head backwards lol, such a good story

[@nhagan001]

I have heard of a term for this type of person. It is Bass-ackwards. God damn I have never heard of a person that has fit that term so snuggly.

[@GlobstersMessenger]

Imagine being so clueless that you wait for your gf to be humiliated in front of several people instead of literally saying one thing. Though, it *could* be that she might be the type to start a huge argument about it - you just don't know with other people's relationships. EDIT: Actually, no, if this story is actually true, the guy is a total shithead and needs to fucking assess himself lmao

[@EloquentTroll]

This week's Drama Time we here Nima's side of the story, he says nothing that even mitigates this.

[@raver377]

also on the first story: if she was good enough to be in the raid befor he became gm then clearly she is good enough to stay in the raid. if it was between her and another guild member it wouldve been a questionable but excusable act however since it was a person they met in a PUG its inexcusable unless shes bad in which case she wouldnt have been in the raid in the first place

[@tbuksuperfly]

The first 5mins was literally a statement that didn't need to be made. You'll never please everyone, not everyone has the same sense of humour, not everyone enjoys the same things. If you try to please all these people you will please no one. Don't try. You AT NO POINT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM prevented anyone from playing the game because you made a joke. That's their decision alone; they are trying to project some kind of malice on your part that doesn't and could not exist. It's people being professional victims and it's disgusting behaviour. You are an awesome guy Mike without a mean bone in your body who does this for the sheer enjoyment of it and you should not have to change because some people project their own issues on to you. You purposely change names to hide identities, you never get personal. Offence is taken not given; you are blameless.

[@Gbane]

Amen to that. I was wondering who are the people that got offended.

[@robertnicholson2522]

But also, it is OKAY that he made the statement. He felt it was important enough to say. It upset you enough to type this reply out. We all have our priorities.

[@tbuksuperfly]

@@robertnicholson2522 Thank you for making such a perfect example of what I'm referring to. If you read my reply at no point did I, or would I, forbid him or say it wasn't 'okay' to make his statement. You've projected that onto me for some reason. Additionally, having the opinion that he's got nothing to apologise for does in no way mean that I am upset he did. Again, you're projecting that onto me. Why can't people on the internet have a rational conversation without putting words into people's mouths or pushing things to the nth degree to try to prove their points? I don't disagree with you whatsoever, it is 100% okay he felt the need to make his statement. What is upsetting is you seem to be of the opinion that I was somehow annoyed/upset he did when the summary of what I said was simply 'you're awesome mike, you've done nothing wrong'. People can have different opinions on matters.. that's ok and more importantly a different opinion doesn't mean the other person is wrong :) Hope you get my meaning; I'm not having a go at you either, was just a good example. Thanks

With the last story. In that situation (i.e. not top end content), a few good players can carry a lot of badders. When those good players leave, the guild goes from easy curves to rough af really quickly.

I always skipped the drama time videos mostly due to it's length and because I thought I won't get anything from it, but boy I was so wrong. First video I've watched and I watched it on one go :D you have a great skill in story telling and actually some of the stories hit home. Will diffinetly check these series now.

[@lps89br]

Holla Preach! Been watching you since after Josh Allen went to Blizzard, you're basically my anchor in WoW related content since and I absolutely love your content. These couple of months have been just shitty thing after shitty thing happening and your content is always something that cheer me up. I'm really happy with your approach to the situation at the start of the video. It's fucking weird to me that some people hear the jokes and the bants and go to the expreme of taking it to the heart and replicating it in-game. About the changes, it's been happening for a long long time and people just realized that because Preach pointed out that he needed to do something about, the quality of the content will not go down, don't worry. Just go watch drama time in 2016 and compare how much more "tame" the jokes and bants are, the quality is still here, but jokes are just a little bit different. Preach still is a real stand up guy.

[@Zenaur]

YOU DON'T LIKE CHOCOLATE/BACON/BUTTER?!?!?!!?!? What is this insanity?

[@ShewTheMighty]

My god Preacher! No bacon? No chocolate? Count me in. I will eat them but I could live without them no problem. As for the buttered bread thing... I like the butter. You're flying solo on this one. Thanks for doing these shows. From one Mike to another; Cheers!

[@JBrandonMercer123]

I admit that I got a little upset when you said you don't like bacon.

[@reluti0n]

perfect for the lvling grind

[@Blizark]

A lot of guilds struggled with heroic Zul. Typically its a DPS problem not a CC problem. Most casual guilds tend to have 2 to 4 players who are very good but lack the time/commitment to raid mythic, and the other 10 players are....less good, and there's typically a player who two who struggle to out dps or out heal the tank. The guild I raided with took 3 weeks to kill normal G'huun and then was stuck on heroic Zul for another 2-3 weeks.

[@lytherael2309]

That first story, BRUUUUH. Nima. Mate. Fren. Buddy. Please. Cease and fucking desist.

[@drunkenprayer8390]

The guild in the second story sounds like my old guild where the entire raid team switched servers for a merge because they thought they'd be able to put together a better team.

[@Jolarwar]

Preach is always surprised when guilds get stuck on any boss, at anything below cutting edge first day mythic runs.

[@dennisb1224]

I tried hard as a disc priest with a guild. Top heals and mid dps at the same time. Nobody cc’d nobody would interrupt. The grind for rep and wasting time got me to quit for a while. I just make gold until shadowlands where I will be tanking as a warrior. Fun stories though.

[@EloquentTroll]

My guild is working on Heroic Dazar'Alor right now, but we're a social/M+ guild, not primarily a raiding guild (the push to raid is kinda new while waiting for Shadowlands), and I'm not a raider, so this homework is really hard.

In my day to day life , some women are like that and no matter how hard they get hit they will keep doing it.I know it sounds like hitting the wall over and over again but we talk about women that are nice and helpful to everyone and not letting some douches ruin it.Personally , I dont understand it but I found this level of kindness only in women.I know alot of guys that are as kind but they do put the bullies in their place and keep being nice to others.

I think its just people putting there own malice in the jokes, He often makes sexist jokes but there is no sexism IN mic at all.

Why didn't we get to hear the "Pvp Irl" story that's up on the screen at the beginning? What episode was that from?

I think that was in reference to the people complaining about 'offensive jokes'. Usually Drama Time opens with a story title related to Mike's announcements.

[@robusmc1713]

You make my day with these, thx 💕 Preach

[@Gravewhisper]

the woman in the story was in the right, but she couldn't let a single argument go for months and ultimately involved the internet, whilst most likely leaving out any part of her story where she could've been seen as "overreacting". This is not a healthy relationship people, it just isn't. At this point, it doesn't matter who was right or wrong, if something like this causes arguments for months, it's time to break up.

[@mk_gamíng0609]

I dont think she said it caused Arguments for months she said it bothered her for months, witch is understandable whats not healthy and its his fault is the fact that THIS ALL could of been solved if he just SPOKE to her from the beginning.

[@gampie13]

we get the story presented from her point of view, we have to much of a biesed information and alot that is highly likely doctered (we have information that she has been salty over this for months), so we cannot give a clear verdict of whom is right or wrong. In the end, no matter what extra information we get, it should still end upp in the raid leaders lap at the end of the day, there is a reason alot of guilds segregate power and make a destinction between the GM and the RL

[@dabbie2700]

Honestly i don't want to be rude or anyhing, but imo doesn't matter if you are young or old, as long as you do your job and you're nice to people in your guild and raid i think you're fine, but i don't think anyone should get special treatment bcs they are ' old ' or they are veterans in the guild if they goofed it. I understand veterans having certain advantages, but don't keep them if they do such shit and pretend everything's good. Also Raid Leaders and Guild Masters should never EVER let a whole team down for one person, like i am sorry to say it, but if you're THAT bad, then just, just sit down and get carried later when the progress has already been made and ppl are a bit more geared, or in that case overgeared. So everyone's happy, you get the curve and the raid isn't a pain in the butt either.

[@kn0bhe4d]

There has not been a more guilty verdict than that first story EVER! Unless she's super bad, which doesn't sound like it, since they struggled with the pug tanks but didn't struggle with her tanking, holy shit. An actual "what the actual fuck" moment.

[@aerieleah533]

I feel like there's some missing info in that first story. I wonder if: one, he's cheating, two, she's awful and no one has told her, three, he has some sort of brain damage (I've heard stories about people's personality changing due to tumors on the brain or something) or four, someone put him up to it or accused him of favoritism. But honestly, very few of these are understandable. Even if she's bad, like uber bad, she doesn't deserve to be done like that.

[@nikosjogren6826]

He actually responds in the next episode. If I remember right he was essentially trying to be a wingman to a guildie by letting the rando tank and she turned out to be trash. And he still isn't apologetic about his side.

Nyma seems like a guy that tried to flex his GM status on his girlfriend by kicking her out of the raid team. Saying you're shite isn't that hard and it's a decision that the raid leader makes. The only thing the gm should have done (if she was shite), pm the rl and tell them it's ok to bench her even if she's the gm's girlfriend.
