It's been a crap-tastic couple of days. Work has been just, well, crapity. I've found that I'm frustrated with things (except my Elfy) in general. Work crap, well, some of that is part of the job. But some of the other stuff, like the things I do for fun *cough* WoW *cough* have become incredibly crapity. I'm a "class leader" in title only. I feel like nothing I say matters. Is it because I'm female? Can I sue the guild leaders for discrimination based on gender? *snort* I'm kidding. But seriously, I am getting tired of not being taken seriously. I find no motivation to try and better myself in game in helping with healing assignments or anything. I'm tired of being told I need to put enchants on everything (I'm an enchanter, my gear is enchanted) or put better gems in stuff (I don't have time to sit and figure out what gems I can swap out to put the pretty blue one in whilst still keeping my stupid meta gem bonus and not losing any plus healing) and I can't farm money easily to replace crapity green gems... and it just goes on and on. I don't even have the drive to log in and try to do the things I wanted to do with my character anymore. I get so burned out and frustrated from the nights of raiding. I have an epic flight form quest line I want to complete, but I don't even want to look at my druid right now. I have vented to officers and other class leaders, but what good is that doing? I get the impression no one else really cares. They have other druids *cough* stein *cough* who doesn't feel the need to listen to me anyway. Having said all that, I would miss several people and some of the raiding if I were to quit/leave. I don't know what I need to do. I suppose I could quit class leader, but the thought of having to listen to Stein makes me even more pissy. I need to drink more I think.

I think the guild is really hurting for group cohesion right now, but I have no constructive advice on how to help fix that.
I have no doubt the guild will make it all the way to Mt. Hygal. It's just going to be harder and more unpleasant for all with this group dynamic.
I am in full agreement with you. My problem lies with just a few people, and the fact that leadership is oblivious to the problems they are creating. I know I'm not completely insane.
I miss your naughty little vixon in raids, are you coming back? /cry
I think I might be done with WoW raiding. It’s a grind that I’ve come to discover is no different than any other grinding aspect of the game. It’s a lot of effort for little payoff or fun.
I guess I could probably put up with that grind if the guild offered some sort of social network. But it doesn’t. At least, it doesn’t for me. The most fun I had in Requiem was leveling Emanee. It was a blast hanging out with you guys and Ele and Layali. But then when we all started raiding again, that camaraderie faded. I think it’s harder to relax and hang in a group of 25 then a group of 5. It is for me, at least.
You and Elfy are about the only people I talk to in the guild anymore. And if you guys aren’t there, I can go the entire raid without interacting with a single guild member. My last seven attempts to get a Cenarion Rep run going all failed, including one run where two party members left in the middle to go pvp. I finally just gave up entirely. It doesn’t go past my notice that other “core” members can get a 5 man run going at a snap of their fingers.
You won’t see me post any of this in the forums. No official goodbye either; I’m as tired of guild drama as much as I am grinding. In any case, everything I just said would come off as bitching and complaining, and maybe it is. But I just know that logging into WoW was getting to be a chore and when I made the decision to take a “break,” a weight lifted.
I’m looking forward to hearing that Requiem finished the BC raid dungeons. But not as much as I am to playing some other games, reading stories to my daughters, and hanging out with Wifezilla. If you and Elfy ever get an itch to try something new, I’m currently playing LoTRO. I’m sure I’ll try out Age of Conan as well. I’m picking up Hellgate: London at the end of this month too.
At any rate, best of luck in whatever you guys do. Keep updating your blog. I’ll see you around :)
You not raiding with us makes me a sad panda. Elfy and I share your frustration with getting five mans together. I have been reluctant to run things because healing has been hard. I'm sorry we weren't able to connect for some rep runs. :( I will still hold out hope of seeing your naughty-ness again at some point! Emanee is too hot to rot ;)
