Are they really ninjas?

I've been pugging a LOT lately. Every Tuesday I make it a point to run vault 10 and 25 just in the hopes of getting the tier 10 gloves or legs. I've yet to see a single rogue piece drop though, but at the least I score badges out of the run. I also try to pug ToC 25 - although last week I won the roll for the 1.80 speed dagger (gouge of the frigid heart! Won it over another rogue who rolled 93 by rolling 98!) and this week I won a kickass belt, so I may not need any more gear from ToC. We'll see though.

Anyways, we're doing ToC25, right? After the twin val'kyr are defeated, the raid leader (who had been a real asshole in vent the whole time so I muted him) says roll on the gear. I won the dagger, then the second item was death's choice, some hot caster trinket which everyone wants, apparently. Well, he looted that, the crusader orb, and the trophy of the crusade and left the raid. People were squawking and QQing about how he was a ninja.

Then last night I did ICC 25. We had a great group and I was hoping to make it past Putricide and all that, but after Saurfang the raid leader loots Deathbringer's Will and left the raid. Again people were QQing all over trade chat about what a ninja he was.

And here's my opinion: is it really ninja'ing? I mean, the raid leader is the guy who had to spam trade chat for 30 min to get 25 people together for a raid, he had to keep track of all the spots that were filled, he had to inspect everyone's gear to make sure they didn't suck, he had to organize the vent, he had to loot and give out the raid warning for people to roll...I mean that's a lot of annoyance. I won't say it's hard work, really, but it's annoying to have to do all those things. I tried to organize a 10 man raid once and that was hard enough. I really feel like the person who did all the annoying things to get a 25 man raid going, deserves a nice prize at the end of it. So people shouldn't be QQing about what a ninja he is - if you want that item, make your own raid and ninja it yourself!

Of course I might be the one QQing if the raid leader ninjaed some sweet rogue item from the raid, but given that none of the items taken were of any use to me, it's easy for me to stand back and say these things. But honestly, what do you expect when you give someone 100% of the rights to loot everything? Sometimes life ain't fair.
