World of Warcraft: Current Year

So yeah, that "spring break" thing turned into the gm/raid leader, a tank, a solid dps, and maybe more quitting or jumping ship.

Right when there's absolutely nothing left for me in heroic and Mythic progression is the only thing to log in for.

Not to be that guy but did I call it or what?

Always sketchy when you take a week break just because one tank is going to be out of town.

Finding a guild as a hunter is a real problem. It's not my fault they are the only ranged dps that doesn't feel like getting kicked in the balls. But fucking every guild has 3 hunter mains. And I lost interest in keeping up my rogue "just in case."

Rogues are fucking retardedly boring. I joined my current guild as one cause they felt ok on hunters at the time. I was hating every minute of it. Without luck on daggers, their single target is absolute trash cause you're stuck in combat. Yet get a few targets and out of no where you gain decent dps. But the gain is just awful in comparison to classes like paladins/warriors it feels like.

Thankfully they let me switch back to the hunter full time and it has gone well. But yeah, it's an absolute bitch to find a hunter spot. I've seen some folks actively recruiting them on streams though doing mythic (one was actually a few kills ahead of mine). but I felt old listening to their vent. Sounded like a lot of 20 something's who are ready to point fingers at a moment's notice and I just don't see those types of guilds lasting long if one bit of drama eventually hits.

Ive been playing for like 5 months as rogue and all my daggers have been coined or gained through PVP - Its pretty lame tbh and nothing can be done about it atm.

Like nails on a fucking chalkboard.

I'm pretty sure the GL gave up because putting together a consistent mythic team with this turnover rate is like running up a greased wall. The only people that don't seem to leave on their own are the underperforming warm bodies wasting their slot.

A few months of the revolving door shitty recruits and the good players get bored and start dropping out.

That's why I joined a huge guild with 4-5 different raid teams. They source in any subs from the guild, so if it's not my raid night and I'm not locked I'll join.

I'd say join a huge guild and stick with it.

My guild is starting to experience that bullshit. People saying they are having ISP problems and we find out they're just playing league of terrible instead of raiding.

I think the minivan has been losing members too. Its a little frustrating to lose people that know the fights and having to re explain every week to the new guys. Its nothing against the new guys, just the way it is. On the other hand we raid normal like its fuckin mythic so take that as you will

As long as we have 10, we're good!

Right and I'm not really worried. It's just hard to progress with people getting burnt out and new people coming on board. Not to say I don't like the new guys or don't want them, because the more the merrier for us. It's just difficult to push forward like that.

Either way what I'm saying is you guys having trouble with Mythic guilds should just run normal instead with us. So much more rewarding breaking your dick off on fights. When the hardest boss is recruitment there is an issue

My wife just put this together for our mythic oregorger kill last night...I am THE panda.

Is that using assets or is that all hand made? Either way it's very impressive.

The last raiding guild I was playing with on Area-52 exploded after heroic blackhand died.

We spent 1 night working on mythics then the guild leader, raid leader, and half the officers quit. So that place was dead.

Sign up for a warcraftlogs account and record your logs every single time you raid anything. It is your resume for finding a raid guild.

After things exploded on Area-52 I decided I wanted to see how the alliance side is this expansion, mainly the garrisons and leveling experience, so I trolled the MMO-Champion forums and the wow guild recruitment boards for alliance guilds that are progression through mythic. I found a guild that was 6/10 and looking for a DK. When I submitted my application I told them up front that I have zero mythic kills in BRF but they were so pleased with my logs for normal/heroic they gave me a shot. I had a nice trial by fire clearing 6/10 Mythic last Tuesday and then we learned and killed Thogar on Wed. With the last 15 min they wanted to do heroic blackhand for the hell of it and I ended up tanking for the kill with no idea what I was doing. Pretty fun for a 2 day a week raid guild.

So the moral of the story is keep logs for all your fights. Mythic guilds are bleeding members so badly they are willing to take less experienced people if you can prove you can do well at easier content.

I'm sure she borrowed the flash symbol, she's a pretty good shooper though. Reason for the flash theme is our mages (3 of them) were having cases of the dumb-dumbs and fucking up their blinks. So the raid leader made a comment about how mages tap into the Blink Force and if too many tap into it they're all weak like the speed force. Guess you had to be there lol.

Here's some other ones I found humorous:

She's got a ton of hilarious ones from years ago that were up on our old site but it's been down for a while now. I'll see if I can get her to throw them up on imgur or something, they're worth it for the laugh.

I can't exactly blame people for quitting when progression seems to have stalled and there's no more loot carrot. Hell, I've only ever made it to the second tier of wow raids in an expansion once, back in Lich King. Which was also the only time I played all the way through.

But the dozen times I've quit were mostly for different reasons - schedule conflict ("maybe we'll get this started by 11"), guild regression (likely facing that here), plain boredom, or pure loathing of everyone I was playing with.
