Free as a bird now
Last night I quit my WoW guild. It’s something that was coming for a few weeks, especially after everyone I was friends with left. I was stoked to keep the guild moving, but then the new guild leader posted a few polls about what direction everyone wanted the guild to go in and I was in the vast minority on all of them.
They wanted to kill A’Lar instead of Lady Vashj. Now, killing Lady Vashj gives you half of the Black Temple attunement quest, so why wouldn’t you want to finish it and be done? This is the same guild that took down lots of other bosses, but now they want to be a bunch of pussies (yeah, I said it) and do something cheap and easy. It’s not about the gear or the DPS, the guild has that. It’s about the drive to get the job done. Nobody wants to work for their supper anymore because Blizzard said “EXPANSION!” and the first thought everyone in the guild had was “My gear will be obsolete”. So one by one, people wanted to start taking it easy. No raiding on the weekends, cut an hour off the raid times, and do wussie bosses.
They also wanted to raid on Mondays. Who wants to take a weekend off, go to work, and then raid on Monday night? I suppose I’m in the minority there also. On Monday night I like to sit and veg out. It’s the first day of the week, I don’t want more stress. I want a beer in one hand and football on TV.
So, for the second time, I quit the very same raiding guild I quit before. There was nobody left there who even knew my real name, all the people that did are gone. They either quit the game, sold their characters (shh!), or just haven’t logged in.
Now I can do what I want again. If I choose to join another raiding guild, I can. I thought about it and I think I’m going to try and get some people I played with on Boulderfist to join a different PvP server where there are less as–, errr, boneheads. I’ve also been playing a lot of Halo 3 lately, with friends, of course.
I’ve also toyed with the idea of going back to EQ2. I logged in yesterday for the first time in a while to find a lot has changed. My guild booted all non-raiders which means I can’t buy certain things from the City Merchant anymore (thanks, jerks!) and my house now needs status points for upkeep. I usually don’t wish ill on anyone, but when you boot the very same people that helped get your guild level to FIFTY, you tend to hope they all disband. Logging into EQ2 wasn’t easy because all the “friends” I had were the very same people that voted to boot all the non-raiders from the guild, so I’m getting no help there. It’s like I’m a level 54 noob. We shall see. I don’t want to give up my house, that took a lot of hard work to get to where it was.
