Loot, Ulduar and the Cold, Cold Turkey!

It's been awhile since I've posted and it really has been a depressing couple of weeks. After progressing far into Ulduar 10, people suddenly gave up. Maybe it's because the challenge of downing the first few bosses is gone at the same time, the people who suddenly quit already got their gear which for me is infuriating!

Some people passed on loot for you and now that you have them you just quit?! Sigh, it's the same old WoW story in any other guild, I know. It still irks me when people do that though. No more raids, lately I've been pugging most of my runs and nothing happens. It's depressing. You work hard for the raid then you get cheated out of your loot. Happened to me twice already! Same old story.

So, I've been shopping for a new guild and nothing out there has morning raid times except for this #1 guild that wouldn't put you in the core 25 even if hell froze over. Most of the guilds in my server have weekday evening raids. Sucks 'coz it's morning in our part of the world.

I'm down to 3 choices:

1. Lay down my Life and Death and retire my toons to oblivion. Go cold turkey and WoWquit!
2. Spend money and change to an Oceanic Server then go through the whole process again.
3. Stay in Thrall and wait til hell freezes so I can raid on the #1 morning guild.

Nice choices huh!

On the otherhand, my bf gave me a fourth option. Do #1 and play his shadowpriest until his subscription runs out then totally WoWquit!

What do you think?!

Lootmaster stress

I've been lootmaster for a while now, and let me tell you it's not an easy job!

I've been delegated this simply because out of all the regular officers, I have the most stable connection. I took the time to learn it and I figure I'm the least temperamental of the officers lolz.

Since I started doing loot, my heals have gone down, I spent most of my time in raids talking to people regarding the loot system and addons. Specially since we got a good number of new people and addon updates are aplenty now with the 3.1 bug fixes.

What gets me most is loot drama. I mean that's why there is a system in place to minimize drama! I don't know if EPGP has a bug but a specific member of ours wasn't on the PR list when he should be. His name just doesn't show up.

I told him to get the updated version of the addon and he said he has it. He messaged me and the GM saying that he should have gotten the ring. I told him, your EPGP doesn't work and it shouldn't be my problem if you don't have it ! Of course I didn't say that literally, but along the lines hehe!

For the person who just received the loot, it sucks to receive something then have to ticket it to another person. Kinda like you won the lottery, but you have to give the money back because they messed up the spelling of the name of the winner.

For me, loot is easy to get. Just run it a couple of times and you'll get it. Causing stress and drama is so not worth it. It's just too much trouble for so little reward!

Too much drama

The only thing I don't like about playing WoW is the drama. Too many people are jerks and so few are actually good players without an attitude problem.

I logged on my paladin at 6am server and stayed til 3pm. I spent more time sorting out problems than actually playing. From loot system to raid leader whines even guild rank! I mean c'mon! Guild rank? Why should it matter if you're a raider or a senior raider! It's not as if you are given responsibities. It's just bragging rights!

Then a member also whispered me to ask if he can be an officer. I wanted to tell him,

"Have you done anything for the guild?"

I mean really!

Then another situation came up, a probationary toon was talking trash in gchat and 2 of our regular raiders gquit because of him. This was the second time he did this, first i pm'd him to be more respectful. His response was,

" Your opinion only matters if you're an officer"

Big mistake dude!

I wrote,

" I AM an officer!"

second time?

/Gkick!

After 7 hours, all is well in WoWLand. A couple of people are stepping up to the job and hopefully this month's drama will be over soon and we can get on to our regular awesomeness! I have high hopes on this rebuild. It sucks that people you've played with have moved on, but raiding must go on. Change comes with every patch! ( cliche? damn right! ) That's the only constant thing in WoW and real life.
