One Boss Leaves: Gorefiend vs. Gruul wrap-up

by Elizabeth Harper Nov 3rd 2007 at 8:30PM

It's that time of the week again! Time to see who won and who lost in the last round of our weekly fantasy deathmatch, Two Bosses Enter. Last week we put Teron Gorefiend up against Gruul the Dragonkiller -- and if the above image is any indication, I think Gruul came out ahead. In fact, 57% of our respondents thought Gruul would win this round, with 41% rooting for Gorefiend. (For the full chart, check after the jump.) And before you fault my math, 1% thought the fight would result in a draw and the other 1% was eaten up by rounding. As some commenters have noted, the "draw" option is kind of silly, and will be removed for the next fight -- coming up late this evening!

Tony, stop being so negative. Jeez, its just harmless fun.

Where did u made that number up mate? surely is just the number that whiners have made up from the forums. BT will probably be here for another year until the expansion might come out, so a lot of players will get to see him.

From my experience i will vote for Teron, its really reliant on personal skill since it needs a very good execution in killing the ghosts, not hard to learn but certain players take longer to adjust in the fight than others, dispelling is important but apart from that its pretty much a tank and spank fight, only thing that makes it hard is by the end u will have quite a few ppl dead(unless SS is not on c/d)and locks ss the ones that become ghosts and die. and i agree with the 2nd poster also, no point whining about something fun.

meh i meant would vote not will since the poll is being done already afterall, anyways i just think teron is more of a challenge :-)

@1:
Teron Gorefiend: 3.59% of 1762460 characters in 32604 guilds.

However, since we only see a mere ~25% of all players, and we can possibly assume that only guilds with some form of raiding in mind actually signs up on Wowjutsu, it may be safe to assume that TonyMotorola might be right. If -your- guild was smackin' down on the Black Temple, wouldn't you want to brag about it?

Whether or not someone has been to an encounter means little in this contest, as it's not players versus bosses, but bosses versus bosses.

Theorycraft has a much greater weight than actual experience for deciding who will win.

Elarius Nov 4th 2007 12:48AM

fine, lets stick to the number you came up by calculating them from wowjutsu, i still will not believe any numbers as it stands until blizz themselves showed how many ppl really doin tier 6 instances to get a picture (like they did back at blizzcon 2005).

For now i will go with what u said but your insulting is seriously unecessary to argue with me in a proper manner. i am not here to tell you that you are wrong, i based it on the usual threads that people have made in the wow forums, screaming their heads off by saying things while they are pissed off. If u have come like in this case with research and proper evidence thats fine but no point to insult me in the manner that you did.

@tony

There is no reason to act condescending, or use such language. Those three words have completely invalidated your argument, and had you made that comment as a complete stranger to my face, or anyone's face for that matter, instead of cowardly behind the anonymity of the internet you'd be in for a world of hurt and I don't mean just physically.

HAD you posted your evidence without resorting to profanity and insult, I would be on your side; however, seeing as you are incapable of such kind acts all that fancy arithmetic has flown straight out the window along with ANY credibility you may have obtained.

Oh I'm sorry, I forgot, this is the internet: there's no need for credibility when you can just create another gmail account and post the same drivel over and over again.

#10 comment just pwned tony

Sych Nov 4th 2007 1:21AM

I don't think Tony invalidated anything at all. Some people get so shocked when they're condescended to, after having been condescending themselves. Referring to his arguement as being 'made up', and by 'forum whiners' is pretty condescending, and on top of that it basically tries to sweep aside what Tony said by debunking it without any kind of justification.

So really, the insults were being asked for. And you know the old adage, "ask, and ye shall receive".

Also, wheras Elarius post was just annoying, Tony's had some info, and seeing someone who actually meters out abuse where it's due is always bonus points.

Douglas Nov 4th 2007 1:22AM

Please, feel free to click on tony's name to examine his previous posts. ~1% of them are made without insulting comments. (And yes, I did make that percentage up). People like him are perfect for the internet. Keep them hidden and away from the general public, I don't want to meet them face-to-face. Oh, and lol at "hard to take the vote seriously." You think?

Sych Nov 4th 2007 1:24AM

Also, Charlie's comment is another freaking internet forum disease symptom. "Let's All Be The Good Guy!", also known as, "Moral Highground - Must Have!". I mean how exactly does abusive language in any way actually alter the facts of the argument? I'd love to know, sounds like something you could really put to use.

Charlie Taylor Nov 4th 2007 1:59AM

@sych

I never said swearing altered the facts, I said the evidence got thrown out the window. To "throw something out the window" means to disregard it, not refute said 'it'. Resorting to name calling proves one thing and one thing only: you've got nothing left but you still want to show everyone else that your e-peen is bigger than the other guy's.

As for the "moral highground comment"-In reality the internet is no different than the real world, if you're an ass then it comes back 'round eventually. Who knows, maybe Jay and Silent Bob will knock on your door one day to kick your ass!

Jack Nov 4th 2007 1:01PM

Aside from the tone of the posts, I still don't understand how the number of people who have seen the Gorefiend encounter has any bearing on this contest.

And where's the next matchup? It was supposed to be put up yesterday evening!

Wraeth Nov 5th 2007 5:54AM

Reading through all the "One Boss Leaves" post comments, a lot of people get really angry about these things =P. Good as it is for people to get passionate about it, its really sort of like trying to stop the tide; no amount of anger can change the results =/

At the end, its all just a made-up contest. People really need to "chillax" O.o
