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?!

It's a Small World After All

Have you ever noticed how small it is in your realm? That sooner or later you're bound to run or raid with your friends and foes randomly? I figure that about a hundred people are in my realm and they're just cycling through different characters.

Last night, I ran a couple of raids with pugs and most of them I know from having pugged over and over again. Then a 10man E0E was up in the trades channel looking for a DPS. Since my warlock has never seen a dead Malygos, I pm'd the raid lead and got invited. Turns out the raid was ran by a couple of people formerly from our guild. I was tempted to leave the raid but I figure it wasn't me who left the guild and I shouldn't feel bad about it. I stayed and it was definitely awkward for me.

They recognized me and one raider said hi in vent and I just said hi back. After that I was silent the whole raid, making sure I was doing great in EoE. I didn't ask them why they left or why they didn't have the decency to be honest about leaving. I just played. I understand that people should play for themselves to have fun but after a couple of months of giving your time and effort for the benefit of the guild the least they can offer you is honesty.

I'm not mad at them for leaving, it is the constant thing in this game I suppose. People come and people go. I'm just glad our 10 are RL friends and no matter how tempting it might be to join a new or better guild, we 10 stick together.

At least for now...
