First page always the hardest.
Ding Dong the Baron is Dead
. WE HAVE POTENTIAL .

I am speaking of WOW (World of Warcraft)

We the guild have tons of potential. I can say this with Pride. Hexfirefoot and Ogakan are already spoken for in this matter but I can say this: There is nothing that can't be done if we don't work together to get it done with team work.

Ok thats enough of the company line for a minute.

I did a few runs with the guys a couple days ago and in a hard instance we NEVER died until this one area (Second Boss in Shadow Lab's). What can I say. We rock!

Bit of a pain but we did it.

Now the Downer note: After Long .. LONG... thinking.... I give on the Pushing the groups. I've try'd to push to get them to be better but there is this one line that keeps ringing and thats "WHY BOTHER" I'm tried of that line and care little for it.

Oga's right that I'm no Anthony Robbin's and people get ticked when I try to push.
So.... I decided for myself that I'll still push myself but thats it. Know MY limits and go back to asses the group that I'm with and know where they can go and what they can do.

So that means I'm not going into CoT with the Caitiff's because most likely they can't stand me talking about it and don't want to get pushed. There are others that I can find a group to go with.

I am tired of money counters and making a profit for a run. There are times wehre I think maybe I should start from scratch... make a new guild. Work that one from ground up. Get that all together but thats a lot of work.

Connections are hard to do.. and getting good groups together is no small choire.

Now All of this comes from one weekend that a few things hits me at the same time.
One member getting their key first then saying "******** you all I'm done" and there has not been another run in an instance like that one since. Another Comment is "I no make money, I no Go." NOw these are all fair sayings in the eyes of these people.

But Next time I go into an Instance with these people and their famous lines are said then the next line out of my mouth is "I Can't count on you YOUR NOT GOING!"

I have Continginsy Plans all the time. We have an AWESOME healer/tank/DPS/Puller then Sweet, but thats comming to and end because I'm sick of the line and attitude " This can't happen with out me!"

These are the reasons that groups fall apart. It seems to me that I Love to help out the lower levels into instances that NO ONE is willing to go into and all the other members have made thier point and said "******** THAT!" Well so what in my eyes.

Darkinfernal has had his Dungeon set 2 quests since september I uttered a few words but thats it. Hell as of Yesterday I know have quests into Onyxa's Layer. Hell thats not easy... and to get a group for that is not fair in my eyes because not everyone in the group wants to go there.

40 guys is a Damn Hard thing to get off the ground to do, and assembling 40 guys with lives to put aside their time for a 40 man runs is almost imposible in the caitiff's hands/eye's

BRD is no easy run... and Im not talking about 1 or 2 quests. I'm talking about ALL of them! thats Definately not easy. With Time restraints alone your looking into the 5 hour march. The 5 hours is what it took me last time. NO WIPES.
But unlike other players, I know my way around it.

Example yesterday. A guildie took a few into Dire Maul. No Biggy right?. WRONG! That Guildie took them in for them'self. Thats it! That was BULL s**t!
So I retook that group last night and got them hooked up. DM is only a place that I went in 3 times before and no one showed me any way around I had to learn myself. So what do I have to say about that? Well this for starters.

I'm taking guys with me get get their Dungeon set 1 and 2 gears now after this BRD run. I need the AD rep more now then ever before and since I'm 70 thats not going to be an issue but I'm more then geared for it and at least get the little guys in the guild hooked up as all other guildies still need thier stuff.

Other Selfless acts in my closet are crypt runs with Tal.. There is NOTHING! in the crypts that Tal even NEEDS its all crap. Mind you Dark needs the Sword and he got it yesterday but come on! Dark is still in his level 60 crap at 67.. he needs this.

I have a lot of fun with you guys but we need to remember that we all have to stick together. And for some reason I keep thinking that "Oh Tal just wants X" News flash to those people.... I'M TIRED of YOUR BS! IF You can't start working on helping little people out, then ******** YOU your not getting my help.

There are 9 quests that I'm soloing. All Dungeons. If it cost me my flying mount then boohoo at least I'll get these quests done and help out the lowers in the process.

There are other things that have popped up from time to time. And that's Why is Tal Always getting the mats. (Enchanting Mats) Why? Why? BECAUSE I'm the ENCHANTER THAT'S WHY! I dis an item. I get a shard. I store them then enchnat the person that needs it. LIke Drac with the +6 to all stats for chest Items.

Whats that come to.... 100 gold AVERAGE? fot that one enchant? That 1 enchant cost ME.. and Oga, Hex, and Haven not to mention Bullveye well over 2000 netherweave cloth at MY Cost of 45 silver per belt that I make so I can disenchant it. That was like 50g out of MY pocket and all I get is "Why is Tal getting all the mats"

There is something that I was thinking of and thats a MAT run. Getting into instances that are small and/or Hard (Shadow Labs) and just dusting everything.
So that way the one's that come with me I can enchant as I go. Or make a stock pile. Some of these enchanting formulas are not easy to get, and required me to Farm them for HOURS if not days. But no one cares on that level. they just want their enchant. thats all fine on my end but Only the ones that help me are the ones that are getting anything. Their are ones that have made their minds heard about dising Items but then claim one (enchant) then go back into ******** the group and demanding loot. The only way I posibly see a good out come on this matter with these people is Leaving them at home. This is no different then the people that beg you into an instance then get theirs then bail.. so sad but its true and its happening in my guild. What can I say. caitiff needs a lot of work.

Current Offenders that I'm thinking of:
Zuryana, Jorabela, Dracuna, Heven, Bullveye, and Wolfsorigg.
Now all of these guys are great people but this is the attitude I've been picking up lately.

But thats the update so far. I'll post on PA with other happenings in the future runs and such

Also Congrats on the Caitiff's getting thier First all Guild run in Upper Black Rock Spire it was a 9 man run but it was nice to have an all guild run.

hoping this is not the end of the guild as there egos are starting to sore but.. TEAM WORK! remember that

I dont understand why everyone is so worried about profit on these runs. We all need the rep and lets face it, we all need the practice. We're usualy pretty good but heroics will slaughter us the way we play sometimes. If an instance repair bill is too much for someone to handle they probably need to go do some more quests. Or better yet, use thier trade skills to make some money. Even Netherweave sells pretty well and it drops off almost every mob in outlands. Theres no reason why someone should be worried about 8-12 gold for repairs. As for the mats, I think its because people don't realize how expensive these enchants are.
Maybe specialized mat runs are a good idea. Tell the group in advance that we're going for mats and let them decide if they want to come or not. Either that or you will just have to start charging for enchants. I don't think anyone would complain, I know I certainly wouldnt expect to get all my enchants for free if I didnt want the enchanter dusting any items.

Ya.. I can see that in the enchanter side by charging by enchant but it sounds TOO good on paper.... In Real life thats a different story.

I have to take care of the Core. Me, Oga, You, Etc. Once I get them done I can then hit up other areas and players to hook them up with.

In these runs we HAVE to have enchants! there is no suger coating it. Enchants are NEEDED. that + what ever usually makes or breaks the group. And I understand Why.

With us heading into HARD mode we need every little thing we can get to give us that Edge. Especially you being an Enhancement.

THere are some Other formulas I have to farm for but TRUST me its worth it when I get it.


Great news is. At least you understand

[color=blue]I always get pissed off when I start hearing people complain about repair bills. As main healer, I wipe sometimes the most in the group due to bad agro holding and there are many times I've walked out at a loss in an instance I have no reason to be in. Do I b***h? No. Makes me sometimes thing I should, or start telling people to help pay for my reageants for that pink paw I give them because it and my purified dreanic water do add up. I don't know how many times I've stressed that gold is not an issue in outlands. I tried explaining to Zury. On friday night I had 80g, I did a few quests, saturday noon, I had 200g. But yea, people still seem to think they can make phat lewt with the crap gear we're getting and still expect free enchants. My suggestion for the enchanting problem, if someone wants an enchant, they have to do a farming run with you. Let them earn their enchant, or buy the mats in the AH. This will hopefully give them a better idea of how costly enchanting can be. I also really get ticked off when people try pulling the "without me, you can't do a run" card. I only once pulled that recently and it was on the person who does that the most to us only to show how annoying it can be when someone does that. (especially since it was a run they were asking to do) And I did feel really bad to the other people wanting to go on the run...We're here to help eachother out. If we don't help gear eachother up, we'll never get anywhere and sadly, anyone is replaceable. I'd just rather not having to think that way. As for your leadership, you are a good leader on runs. But you take everything too personally and what drives me the most crazy is how you seem to think you're the only one doing anything in a run. From where you're standing, it might seem that way, and some people might be trying harder than others, but we all are trying. It drives me nuts when one moment everyones telling me I'm one of the best healers in the game, and the next moment, I'm hearing imply's that you need a better healer. I'll admit, I've f*cked up (sometimes even using the "godamn lag!" excuse which I"m positive we've all used). You have to stop thinking you're the only one doing anything right because even I've seen you screw up a few times.[/color]

About the Enchanting we coverd that. Your method dosen't work. The attitude is and always been "I really don't care, because its cheaper to get these guys to do it"

The healer thing is as it stands. When your tired you seriously suck..sad thing is we all do when we're fatigued

In regards to getting people to help farm... thats a waste of time. It should not even be bathered. I got more complaints then anything else.

That "With out me Card" soo true. But we can do that as well.
