Emalon and XT got served!

Wednesday night, I rushed home to catch the 10M Ulduar raid. Logged in at exactly 11 to see that the raid is full :( Got a little miffed 'coz I skipped my scheduled overtime to get home asap. I was on standby so it wasn't anyone's fault.

I saw a pug forming at Dalaran for 25VoA and since I wasn't raiding that night, I joined in. It took an hour to get the raid going. People are now wary against VoA pugs whereas before you can do it with a couple of people in greens. First pull wasn't pretty. Tanks died before they even got to their spot. Uh-oh right?

We tried a second time, BOOM! Emalon died like a pansy! Woot! Was I surprised? YES!! I've been to so many pugs for VoA and they all ended with a big fat repair bill. And now we two-shot it? My faith in pugs have been restored somewhat lol!

Loot time! It was depressingly all PVP gear! Save for a ret pally and DK pants :( Boo! Nevertheless sweet still! My very first Badge of Conquest!


Then a spot opened up for Ulduar 10M, one of the healers had to log off. I arrived and they were working on XT, took us 8 tries for that piece of jellybean! Finally figured out that we were doing hard-mode instead of normal lol! In the end we downed XT-002 by not range dps'ing the heart but let them focus on adds. We got the achievement too for not dying on gravity bombs! Armbands of the Construct and Vest of the Glowing Crescent dropped but i figure my Bracers of Liberation are still good. Difference between 3 iLevels is kinda small to re-enchant ! Yeah, I know, I'm a cheapskate!

Good night for my pally's progression raid!

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!

Shields Up!

We ran Hnaxx and finally got my Voice of Reason from KT! Woot! After raiding that place for so long, I'm so glad it finally dropped and I had the Priority for it. Finally trashed Shield of Assimilation and my Aegis of Damnation. Ain't it pretty? Now to wait for my Torch of Holy Fire! I figure I might get another 1H from Ulduar hahah!
