Reason for Report: He had spawned some high tier loot within the sewers which I began to retrieve and while I was able to deal with most of the npcs I was met with explosive houndeyes which due to the way the map was designed, were able to clip through the xenian growth and essentially come out of nowhere, while this I could deal with due to the limitations of the map. The last obstacle was a trio of explosive hound-eyes at the only exit.
Logically, I hit one of them since they were stood in such a way the obvious solution was to hit one of them and then the explosion would cause the other two to explode and thus clear the path. What I didn't realize at the time was that Turn based combat isolates the instance of combat. So the Houndeye I killed died but the other two joined the fight and due to how NPCs interact with turn based combat, I did not have the initiative to move away after the first attack. So they both ran up and killed me.
The reason for my report is for Mulky's rotten attitude towards the situation here are the logs (Clown is uninvolved and was just trying to help):
I've highlighted the offending lines in yellow and you can see just how mean-spirited Mulky is. As far as these logs are concerned he's content to kill off people's characters without even a hint of sympathy to the situation (that being I died to a mechanical flaw in TBC). It could have been anyone who fell victim to this blatant OOC trap insidiously disguised as a loot run. I could have let this go as just a genuine OOC mistake caused by mechanics and as I pointed out in the logs, no matter what character would have come across the situation there was no mechanical way to succeed at the engagement.
Really soured my experience either way. No idea what his problem was. Make of this what you will but this is the wrong attitude to have as a staff member.
