OP, I'm in the ranks of people that would have rolled their eyes, but as long as you were doing your stuff, would have not said anything.
Kiroh is right that the tone of responses is just weird. You said you did it because you were bored. Own that rather than making up excuses when people give you crap for it.
"You're imposing on 23 other people"
"I didn't screw things up and I was bored"
People can chide for you being a small bit trolly, but you've already said your peace at that point and you're right that you didn't cause the wipes.
With the number of half-arsed AFK-Laden Fail-tastic WoD runs I've seen, there is good reason to take that thing seriously. No the mechanics aren't hard, but if half the party is dying to mortal gaze or not attacking clouds or focusing down one dragon head or whatever, it gets frustrating. It's annoying to have a wipe, only to retry and suddenly it's fast and flawless because it means that everyone was screwing around.
I do get annoyed with the "classes are just as good as jobs" stuff on the forums. Yes you can make it work, but you have to know exactly what you're doing and most don't.
