I just called someone to OFFER THEM A SPOT AT A WORLD PROG STATIC...
...and he answered:

"Hey, I'm lifting weights what's up?"
Not "Hello."
Not "Hi, this is ___."
Straight workout energy.

I finished the conversation professionally... but afterward I sat there thinking:
WAIT.

Is this the new normal?

Because if it were me?

I would've answered the phone, turned my noise cancellation on MAX, slowed my breathing,
and tried to sound like I was in focus, hitting a striking dummy practicing my rotation somewhere.

But maybe that's the difference between old-school raiding culture and today's version of "authenticity."

People are taking static interviews in cars.
Answering recruiter calls at the gym.
Responding to DMs from the grocery store line.

Work and real life have completely merged.

And now I genuinely want to know:

If you got an important call from a world prog static while working out...
Would you:
A. Let it go to voicemail
B. Answer professionally anyway
C. Hit them with "I'm lifting weights what's up?"

No judgment. I'm just genuinely curious

Every raid group wants at least 1-year experience for entry-level DPS these days, smh

That was some intense alpha male energy this guy sent to you on the phone.

Just kidding, I always wanted to throw that kind of word salad into a forum - and this stupid troll thread seemed to be the perfect occasion.

I can't take this seriously, either recruit them or dont, why the duck if you're a world prog static would you give one rats butt slider what people on the forums think.

No joke I once had to do an over the phone job interview at an anime convention.

At least I was able to step outside away from the chaos.

.... I got the job, too.

It’s a game, not a job. Maybe try going outside.
