Priests Priesting, AH Whores and The MM Faceroller
A few weeks ago, I dinged on my beautiful Undead Priest, Xhylo, mostly because I have a wonderful person that wants to play alongside me all the time. She has done a few Nm dungeons, but the both of us got bored with the same old fights over and over because of the lack of options. We also tried some Hc dungeons, but after people just screwing up on Rukhran's stupid Solar Flares, and me not being able to heal through two of the explosions, we gave up. Looking beyond this failure, I am rather loving the Disc Priest, and even prefer to DPS in the spec while doing old content. Shadow is just not for me.... I did find a very nice mog :D Got a bit daring with large shoulders and a head piece that covers most of her face, something I wouldn't think of with the Belf. The Conqueror Priest Tier set is really pretty :D Okay, not the gloves, but the rest of it!
My friend and I also have another guildie, whom we both rather enjoy the company of, who has showed us the error of our ways, and brought us to the light: Auctionator! I'm a proud hoarder, I will not lie, and the both of us have a ton of shit that we keep on bank toons. So, we each have our multiple banks, and then two guild banks for storage. When we were introduced to Auctionator, we both went mental, dumping everything we could find on the AH and doing old content to farm goodies as much as we could carry. And with the profits of this lucrative business venture, we were each able to purchase the one mount in the game that I would give my soul for: the Sapphire Panther! Oh. My. God! It's the most beautiful thing EVER!
There has, as per usual, been drama in the raiding of the guild. There were apparently some issues with certain people, and the roster was condensed. People are no longer getting raid invites, and I'm personally disappointed in how the whole situation has been handled.
Having said this, I've been invited to, and joined, a raid with my old guild. Was really nice to see that people *cough* found their big boy panties, and have dealt with the Exodus. I was welcomed into the raid, even though I was a pug, and my opinion on boss tacts was taken quite well. In fact, I was asked more than once how I've done the fights previously. It's rather flattering. However, the group didn't get particularly far, and after just under two hours, I was on my way. Straight into a raid of my friend's friends.
So, I am used to raiding with a little bit of a uptight raid vibe, went to one that is more local (geographically and linguistically) but the players are unsure what to do, to one where it's lead by fun British women that curse and laugh and joke, but want to get Butcher down. The last group gave me more of a sense of how I would like to feel while raiding. I want a more comfortable vibe, more trusting and less of this aggressive competition. Lighthearted conversation when the time calls for it. With elements like this, progression will come. Though, it does sound more like a casual group than a hardcore progression group. Hmmmmmm *drifts in thought*
Okay, well, that's it from me for now~
