Readers pick best webcomic: The Diplomatic Route

by Ross Miller { Sep 17th 2008 at 5:00AM }

In you don't understand the painfulness of the situation detailed in Penny Arcade's "The Diplomatic Route," our friends at WoW Insider recently wrote about a guild who gave an ultra-rare bow -- a 6% of dropping from the hardest boss in the game that binds to a player once picked up and cannot be given to another -- to a character that doesn't use bows. Enough of you must have understand, or enjoy any instance of the onomatopoeia "pew pew," since the comic won best of the week.

Second and third place goes to Digital Unrest's Same Scenario, Different Year and 2P Start's Just Say No, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week.

Uh, Rogues can use bows. They don't usually use bows due to the bag space lost from using them, but since Thori'dal doesn't require ammo it weighs out.

That and the situation was completely different. There were two Hunters present at the kill, but both were new members and the Rogue that got it was with the guild for a long time (iirc since they started raiding).

The sad thing is, I quit WoW 2 months ago and know this.

I can't believe you're defending their actions. You give the bow to one of the hunters instead of the rogue because it ups your raid's ranged DPS, period. Loyalty and who's been there the longest should have never even been a part of the equation. One of the stupidest decisions I've seen in WoW.
