Hey everyone!

I am currently playing a Mage in SoD, and one of my close friends is playing a Priest.

Last night, this friend was in a raid with a different guild that he usually runs with and asked their mage for Arcane Intellect, and the Mage refused to give it to him without paying a fee of 50 silver. The rest of the raid agreed with this.

My friend was quite annoyed and caused a stink because, let's face it, that bullshit. I would NEVER require anyone to pay for a buff, I give them out freely and gladly.

My friend stated to the them that he has been playing WoW for over 15 years and never heard of paying for a regular buff, and the other raiders proceeded to bash and laugh at him saying he doesn't know anything about WoW if he has never payed for a buff.

The air was soured, and they basically treated him like trash the whole run, stooping so low as to cuss him out for winning a greed roll on a 14 slot bag.

Are we tripping? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this the norm in WoW now, and we just never run into it before? I think THEY are the ones who don't know anything about WoW.

My experience is that everyone is generally caring and helpful regardless of what faction, server, or version of WoW I play...
