I've had three "I'm done raiding" announcements in the past week. Warlock, rogue, hunter, just like that. If looking at the time since Cataclysm dropped, I've had seven such resignations all told. In every single case it wasn't people who gquit or sought greener pastures, it was "I've been playing this game so long," "I'm just tired of it," "I thought Firelands might help renew my interest but..." <br /><br />It seems as if we're dealing with a crisis of old-timer burnout. People who have been playing this game for seven years are getting to the point where they're just done. It's tough and frustrating. If Real ID raid ever becomes a thing it might be very easy to pick up a friend to help out with a raid for just one night here or there! I hope they intend to go in that direction because there are many times I'd like to help out and feel like doing some additional raiding. <br /><br />Meantime, I have to recruit three DPS, and I feel your pain. Have a great vacation! Have a drink for me! I'd say have an oyster, but they kind of gross me out.

Though... I...Wouldn't help much, I'm horde. Though... I have really thought about making an alliance character (I can send it my heirlooms, right?)so that I can run dungeons with my various alliance friends on different realms.<br /><br />It sucks having a raider's mindset and being sidelined so often. :-/<br /><br />We're going to do an alt/mains run this weekend on all t11 normal content with possibility of a few hardmodes and then try our luck at firelands. I'm only 2/7 right now because I only get to run with the alt group and they just aren't as well geared as they should be. Ah, well, such is life, right? My poor little mage hasn't even downed 1 boss yet. I've thought aboout taking it over to a 25s guild on my server and jumpin in when I can, seeing as how I'm never in the main raiding group anyway, but that seems a little bit like bad form.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049384178611011054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619003894547504079.post-53361373506485960012011-07-14T13:36:40.863-07:002011-07-14T13:36:40.863-07:00Hah, maybe with RealID they'll let us cross-re...Hah, maybe with RealID they'll let us cross-realm raid and we can solve both our issues. :P<br /><br />Yes, I was referring to the Dagon of Lovecraft, isn't the Dagon of Babylon fairly benign?

We've got 18 people signing up for raids and that's almost worse than having only 8. I feel for you, though. :-/ I am beginning to feel like I'm lagging behind in experience and gear, both of which are not fun.
