Raid Vs Real Life

I started playing WoW a couple of years ago, all my friends look at me funny when they hear I play. I had to balance a lot of things, work, my bf and of course WoW and it wasn't easy. I skip raids, dinners, and was usually late for work. I was stressed from managing a small guild with my bf thatvwe didn't even start. We just inherited it from a GM that quit.

It was a short run, apart from the sudden absence of 3 of our officers, we had trouble crossing the language barrier. Our communication skills weten't that great and the looy dystrm was killing us.

Now we're in a new guild. I see it start all over again. Not to us personally but to the other guildies. Is it really like this ? It just repeats over and over. No wonder several toons in my realm are guildless. With the new LFG system and the lower raiding difficulty, people are going guildless. Less drama, less hassle.

There are pros and cons definitely. But going guildless is definitely easier on your real life. You play when you have time leave when some emergency xomes up. No drama on attendance, no additional stress. You just have to accept that Pugs are pugs and guild raids are guild raids and you'll be fine.
