left the guild.

i dont expect everyone to understand. but, i will at least give an explanation. the least i can do right?

great friends - dont make an instantly great guild. for some perhaps. i particularly dont have strong bonds and ties as many of you do with others. only people i could say i am close to are billy, michael, and josh. everyone knows that. i like everyone here though. but, that does not refute the fact that others (unintentionally of course) become like pack rats and or out of habit talk or do things with those individuals 9 out of 10 than anyone else.

the fact of the matter is that i am not having fun...several others i know arent having fun. i know alvarez, pages and several others are having similar conflicts with this. but, i am not them - so i will say i left the guild to see if its the game itself or the guild. because if its the game...then i might as well just cancel my wow subscription and not waste my money.

another problem is that our guild is small...and will remain small. so therefore is more of a clique...and people will be left out and there are going to be those who favor others (again, not intentionally) to do things with.

maybe the unit spoiled me...or what i expect from a guild. billy i think can understand what i'm trying to say. in fact - from our conversations i know he understands. i dont enjoy logging on...and spending a good portion of my afternoon or evening...killing mobs...by myself and talking to no one. i feel pretty damn isolated. thats not fun. i dont enjoy searching for pub instance groups. thats definitely not fun. that sure as hell isn't the guilds fault per say...but, thats because of the lack of individuals in the guild.

it is 3:11 am...and i sure as hell know i am probably doing a piss poor job of explaining.

all i know is - i dont enjoy logging on anymore. im going to try a different horde guild and play my alliance toon with misiu and the unit to see if its the game itself.

You're kidding right? The vast majority of the time you're either AFK or not even on when people do run an instance. Talking to yourself is a farce because everyone talks to one another, no one singles you out.

But as far as I've seen it, you either log on expect an instance run out of thin air then huff and puff when one doesn't come together.

We're all playing for our own reasons and at the moment our entire pre-planned 2 x 5 groups are gone. Sev doesn't play his Lock, Alan doesn't play his Rogue, Gohan and Sam were MIA. I haven't seen Asado is a while.

But you do what you can, you either decide to wait for the stragglers or play the game on your own until they catch up.

Everything you stated is just a natural course of social action. You're GOING to talk to whom you're most familiar with the most. I talk to Kendra more than everyone here combined but I still talk and converse on Vent while doing my thing on WoW.

1-58 is just a means to Outlands. Once everyone is there instance runs become solid and our gear starts to make a difference so Guild Calender starts to get used because people want to run different things for their own reasons, the idea is justifiable because the gear impacts you on a longer term vs doing SM over and over for the gear that's replaced in a few levels (Assuming you keep up on gear somewhat)

It all comes down to how much time do you INVEST in us. But the way I've seen it in game and from what you posted, you semi want the people and the guild to revolve around your desires and that isn't going to happen...ever.

I need ST for the class quest but in the end it's not really a requirement at all. In fact the entire game up to mid level 60s and mid 60s OL instances don't matter much.

And I'd say Blizzard is working against you and people in big guilds hence why they're shrinking raids down drastically from how they were in the beginning. You can be a moderate personality person and converse in a small guild. In a large guild you're just one bucket head amongst 40+ others. You want those warlock pants? Well you better fight it out with the 10 other locks. Let's just give the Warlock legendary to Alan because he's been with us from the beginning...

Oh well, see ya dude. In WoW's case it's the big picture and the end picture I focus on (which is OL right now), everything inbetween is just the same shit I've done on 5 characters already.

I'm not attempting to flame your post but social relationships do not form out of thin air. Billy started out in your boots, as just a voice ove the computer but gradually became a familiar personality and now he's become a great friend (to me at least). How's that? Because he didn't just log on, say one word and then go into another channel. I don't know the circumstances of which you live your daily life or the things that go on. But sufficive to say, if you cared to actually get to know anyone in the guild, it isn't that difficult...But maybe you don't care to and that is the main problem. In any case, I haven't been on for damn near 3 weeks to help anyone with anything so if I missed your requests for any runs, I apologize. But if you're not having fun...You're not having fun. So, hope you have fun on MIsiu...Peaces

look, i didnt post to start a flame. wow is a game i cant play solo. simple as that. its way too demanding of a game that it become tedious and boring at times if players arent around. i found wow enjoyable when i did random shit with people, did group quests, ran instances, and just played together. that was fun.

and i've stated many times that by default is not the guilds fault. however, why am i to subject myself to something if i am not having fun? because others say so? i am not you. i am not even insulting anyone. so how about some consideration and be respectful.

either way - its all good. build relationships? i talked to kendra, raenen, alan a whole lot more then i did previously...and i really like them. great people. but, like i said - instead of taking things personally...just let me be. its a game - or does this mean none of us are friends because i left the guild. didn't know video games were serious business.

its not like we can't play together. i need a different guild environment. i am not like billy who can "tough it out" and spend hours just doing things by myself...its very boring and isolated imo. Nobody can't say I didn't try. I in fact left my recently gearing up shaman to play with everyone. I play wow because of the social nature and the grouping up and playing with others. So, why fault me for doing what suits me best instead of hearing others complain about me asking to group with them or do something? Its my money. Its my game experience...and I sure as hell don't like playing an MMO by myself...it sucks. For me at least...I can't tolerate it.
