A Return to the Internet

Ah... life has been busy to say the least. First it was mid terms, then it was spring break and finally when I think I can return to WoW and blogging I have another hefty burden of real life to take care of. So I apologize for my absence and hope no one missed me too much.

Well it's Monday and I'm getting back in the swing of things so I hope to have some new stuff out soon and with life being so busy that I haven't had much time to play. I also don't think I will be to active on the PTR, wich is a bummer because I was really looking forward to tackling some new content before it released, but oh well. I'm sure I will get to it when it comes out.

Also last week lots of guild happenings occurred. For the past couple weeks the guild had been struggling to find itself, as to say that we had progressed nicely and were looking to be one of the top guilds on the server, then it suddenly dropped off. Attendance has been a problem, the raid leader has been inactive for a couple weeks and then he has decided to quit playing WoW... Our guild leader was debating about telling the guild what all happened, not sure if he ever did and since not that many guildies read this blog it's not to big of a deal to mention it here.

Because this is a blow to the guild. We have had a few officer talks about what to do and we need to regain our leadership. The guild leader has decided that promotions are in order. With that said, I would like to congratulate my brother on becoming an officer. He has quietly been gunning for the position as well as some others in our guild that feel they bring leadership to the table and will benefit the guild. But alas they did not get the job... maybe in time... but for now they will just have to be a raider.

Well anyway our guild is kinda stuck. However last weekend, that I unfortunately missed, was very successful and it would seem that our guild is getting back on track. I hope this continues and that we can get through this slump.

My only concern is that we still need to be recruiting and from the new faces that I have seen in the guild we are doing just that. We need to be recruiting because we haven't had the numbers we need to even field a full raid. And with that all the dedicated raiders that come every week, now have fresh or close to fresh 80's that they want to get in raids that we have on farm.

This is where my true concern lies. Sure we have content on farm and the player playing the fresh toons are good players that know the fights and everyone knows you can always carry some people in 25 man raids. BUT if we are only running with 21 or 22 people trying to carry alts will really cripple the speed and efficiency of the raid. It's really not worth it, they can only take one toon at a time. I don't want to waste extra time gearing someones alt. Maybe that's selfish and I am spoiled gearing myself twice since I am hybrid. But I can only play one spec at a time. I will talk about hybrids later, that's a whole other issue. I mean it's cool to have an alt and all, but please gear them on your own time in a pug or something. When someone is doing around 2.8 K dps on a main then they bring an alt in that only is doing 1.8k dps, sure they are doing good dps for only having blues, but that's a lose of just too much dps, imo. And that's all I am going to say.
