Is it really a MUST to go for standard builds? Can't I be different to enjoy the game?

Do w/e you want, roll around in your Spell crit gear, "Unique" spec and Strength rings, but do it on your own. Stay out of BG's, stay out of 5 mans and raids, and don't come applying to my guild wanting to take a hunter's spot who plays his class in the most "efficient" manner.
The moment you step in my group, you become a burden to the rest of us, and you will be kicked.
oh and /agree with what Ven and Nefarion say, as much as you others say they can't bring their "arrogant" attitude to tell you how to play the hunter class, don't bring your "I can have fun playing how ever I want" attitude because you're not being effective, and you may be the difference between a 1% wipe and a kill, and that's even if you're lucky enough to get into a raid (Which would have to be the whole server dieing apart from you or any other hunter with your state of mind).

Wow, nice job, FaaR. :)
In more related news, I was just with a Hunter who refused to use a pet or trap, he was level 64 mind you. Someone asked, 'well, what do you do?' The Hunter responded simply, 'DPS.'
I left the group, feeling too guilty for having any part of earning this hunter XP.
I thought it was a great example of what some of us have discussed here: f you are aiming for max DPS, you should probably use a pet. If you aren't aiming for max DPS but have your own goal in mind, feel free to do whatever you want. :p

You see, the difference between us bringing in a "I can have fun playing whatever I want" attitude and the others being arrogant and rude to make their point is this: It is actually true that the OP
can
have fun playing with any spec he likes, respectable or otherwise. It is not true to assume that the "cookie cutter" standard builds are the only way to be successful in a raid. Absolutely untrue.
If you read the OP's original post, you'd see that he didn't change the spec far from the standard BM build and that the argument of his efficiency was over not giving 5/5 into Lethal Shots or something of the sort. You say that it could make a difference between a 1% wipe and a kill, but will it really? How often will it come to that situation, and do you have solid evidence to back up a claim like that? Probably not.
The thing is, if your raid is made up of, what you would consider "capable", members, then why would you be so concerned about it
possibly
coming to such a dire situation? And if it does, it's not the DPS's fault for not DPSing the boss down quickly ("efficiently") enough, it's either the tank(s)'s for losing aggro, or the healer's for not keeping the tank(s) up. So honestly, anyone trying to beat this guy up for not sticking 100% to the cookie cutter build is being completely moronic. Simple as that.

Do not reply in response to any flames or trolls or I am seriously locking this thread. This is ridiculous.

AND just who is it that PROVED these specs? They tested every possible combo of specs in the talent trees?
Actually, they pretty much did. But that's beside the point.
Also keep this in mind while posting:
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. ^.^
