So uh, its been a long while since Ive posted anything here, fact is Ive been in doubt if I was even gonna keep this blog going anymore. It has helped me explaining myself and maybe some ppl would read it and find some of it interesting. To be honest, it sometimes help alot to sit down with your wonderings and write them down to see the light by the end of the tunnel :)
Well, lets get to it!
Lately I havent been much active in WoW, Ive reached the point where I cannot obtain anything useful from anything else than raids, so Ive been trying to keep myself away from the game a bit, simply to not lose the great feeling about the universe inthere. I see many ppl around the world (of warcraft) who take long breaks right now due to cata coming on the streets soon.
Thats where I dont wanna be, I dont wanna stop the gaming now and come back later on to discover that the game hasnt changed much since I left it. Ofc, a new expansion would have been added and the game itself would be changed totally when it comes to lore, content, mechanics and so forth, but the atmosphere and the feeling you have while running around ingame would still be the same I believe.
So, as I said before, I try to hold on to that I only go online when Im supposed to raid. That being said, I might need to explain what it is that Im actually doing :p
The guild I am in right now, only raid Icc25 2 nights a week, rest of the days are 10man normal and hardmodes. But, they have a stable group of players for the harmode team, so there is no way Im gonna be a part of that team anytime soon, which kinda suck tbh, but it is what it is. Its tough to get into a solid group of players who are used to play together and make things work their way, so its alright with me I guess.
In the 25man runs we go from the infamous Marrowgar trash to Sindragosa (or even further) over a night, and then we go for the King the following night.
The couple of times Ive been raiding on 25man with them, we have downed the King and gotten some nice loot and even an achievement and title for some of the guys who didnt have it, which is great! But it gets kinda boring to raid the same place on same difficulty with the same ppl all the time, I dont know if thats only me feeling that way tho, but thats how it is. I need to see some variations in the stuff I do, else I get bored and wont pay attention which will eventually end in a fatal wipe sometimes (has happened already sadly).
That doesnt look good on my personal sheet, that is also the reason I seek new guilds every so often, simply cus things bore me.
What do I do when Im not raiding then? Well, thats quite another story, or is it?
My hunter is on Silvermoon now and currently trial of Chaos, a danish raiding guild stuffed with great ppl and great raiders. That means that Ive left some of my other chars behind on Hellfire cus I cannot afford to move them all, and I dont wanna!
When I dont play my hunter, Ive still got my good old shaman which has been moved from Hellfire to Moonglade, an RP server. Im not too excited about being on an RP server, since I personally think RP in a game is bull**** and I dont wanna be a part of it, but I know a few friends there from real life who have been asking me for ages to raid with them. Well, they finally got me overthere, but then there's another problem. Their raidtimes doesnt suit me at all, they raid every sunday, which is one of the nights Chaos are running Icc25, which I see as more important since my hunter is my main, and that Chaos is slightly more serious than Warbringers (Moonglade Guild). Therefore I havent had the chance yet to raid with them, but I might do that tonight as they have moved their raid for me, to get me into the raid :p very nice!
When Im not playing shaman or hunter, Im still gearing my druid alt. Sadly, the druid is on Hellfire as alliance, which sucks if youre not a part of a guild and cannot attend planned raids in any way. Why dont I just find a guild for the druid then?! Well, I cannot possibly have 3 characters running in 3 different guilds and still hold up the good attendance AND not lose my willingness to play the game. 3 characters would be too much, and I love my shaman and hunter too much to let either go and let the druid be a replacement.
Anyway, as I was saying, pugs on Hellfire alliance sucks alot, most of them doesnt get any further than Saurfang and this is not cus of lacking gear or experience (especially not after the 30% buff which is too much if you ask me), its simply cus ppl cant get along for the 2-4 hours or how long it takes to get the place done.
They start arguing about stupid stuff like loot, MT vs OT, healing or dps numbers, and worst of all, gearscore.
Gearscore was nice in the beginning cus it gave me more time when making raids. Before it was made, I had to have a friend finding potential members and then I had to enter their name in the armory to check them. All this could take a while cus of the awesome names ppl have chosen for their characters. I remember one of them like if it was last night I was cursing the name, he was called Huhuhehehaha.. Do I need to explain the brilliance of sitting with 4 raiders asking for inv while youre trying to spell some of those names - sigh!
Anyway, it was nice and time saving in the beginning, but now its the worst invention ever. I mean, come on! I wasnt the maker of the addon, but Im sure the purpose with the addon never was to make ppl ask for "6000gs" for a boost in Deadmines.. Ofc thats not true, that has never happened, but some of the ppl in trade are insane with those requirements.
Here's a list of some of the things Ive felt like flaming ppl for:
Voa 10/25 - 5200gs+
Icc 10 - 5300gs+
Icc25 - 5400gs+
Naxxramas (weekly, its true) - 5000gs
Thats crazy in my eyes, if you need to have that kind of gear for those places, youre either a retard who cannot read tactics, dont know mechanics but want a fast run, or that you simply never have been to any of those raids and seen how easy they really are. I understand that you need some kind of gear to do hardmodes in Icc, but honestly, over 5000gs for a simple VoA is too much, and I dont even wanna get started on the Naxx run (he was luckely flamed in trade channel instantly lol). For some of those raids, if you actually meet the gearscore requirement, even by just a bit, then there will be basically zero items for you inside, so, why join at all?
That was kind of an offtopic nerdrage section there, so lets get back to what I was saying :p
Im gearing my druid but I feel stuck cus I cant be bothered to find a guild for that character aswell. The pugs on Hellfire suck, atleast on the alliance side, its very rare to find a nice raid who can work things out without arguing and ppl trolling like there is no tomorrow.
So right now, I basically just login on my druid to get the daily heroic done and get my 2 frosties, but I cannot get into a raid for the weekly if its Naxx or something similar, nono, cus if your perfectly correct gear would make the raid wipe for some strange reason, it would be fatal.
Here's a link to my armory Ashleaf the Druid
As you can see, its not the greatest gear and I cant really get it up right now as things are. Yes, I could spend a day or 2 finding a nice raid, but when that finally happens after hours of searching and insulting comments from leaders I would need to turn down, nothing drops for me anyway, or even worse, there's 3 other druids with same spec and role as me who will ofc win the rolls cus Im insanely lucky with my rolls on items (I bet you all know the feeling).
Yeah, I guess I didnt quite get to say what I wanted in this post, but now everyone knows what has been going on in my wowlife =) I am ALOT past my time here, soeh, thanks for reading and I'll see you lot next time!
