Ok so after lots of though and consideration, I decided to keep WoWChix.com as a site. My whole idea for WoWChix.com was to keep a blog of opinions and observations on all things related to WoW and I am going to keep it that way. I am still going to work on ZomgItsAGirl.com and it will be my “main” project I guess you could say, as WoW has sort of been put on a back burner. But since I am still active in the WoW community, I will keep this blog =) I’ve come to like it, anyway hehe. But for those of you that keep up to date with me in this blog, please make it point to check out ZomgItsAGirl.com 
Anyway, onto the real post:
So I have managed to save up enough money to get my epic flying mount on my Priest (atm I’m about 250g short, but I can make that in a day, so I’m not worried). It’s a huge thing for me *shrug* I’ve worked really hard for every copper
I need to respecc my Priest because apparently I am what they call a… oh damn what is the word? Oh yes! An aggro whore! I throw a heal and BAM! I get two shotted by some pissed off mob *angry mad face* I could be all bitchy and just blame the tank, but when I’m in 5 mans with my hubby on his Druid, I still pull aggro. We are able to kill about 10-12 (sometimes even more) lvl 70 mobs and I will never get hit once, that’s just with the two of us. We have also been able to take on anywhere from 2-5 same lvl Elites at the same time without me ever getting hit or pulling away from his threat. So I don’t know what’s going on but I’m hoping that a 20g respecc will do the trick
I had planned on raiding last week, but every time I got ready and all set to go, something came up and I couldn’t. Or I’ve waiting in the raid group for close to an hour and then all the sudden we aren’t able to go because we are missing 2 freaking people. So yay I wasted my time yet again waiting in a group for nothing. There have been a couple things that have bugged my about the current guild I’m in, though I understand that the things that bug me are “necessary” or whatever… let me explain (oh yes, I’m going to rant):
I get so effing aggravated about group invites, for one. Just today, a guildie was putting together a raid group for ZA and Rob was invited to go on his Shadow Priest. So Rob stocked up on all things needed for the raid (potions, spell dmg food, Wizard Oils, candles, etc) and headed on down to the Ghostlands. He got there, and waiting about a half hour for the raid to start while the group leader was “working out the class make up.” Rob was patient because he was excited to go into ZA for a second time. After waiting all that time, he got booted from the group to make room for someone else. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. It’s happened more than a handful of times to him. He gets ready to go and waits and waits and then gets kicked to make room for some random class. Wouldn’t you know a little sooner than a half an hour if he was going to be needed or not? I think it’s a huge waste of people’s time. I think it’s rude to make someone wait only to kick them from the group right before starting because “Oh hey this person needs it more than you,” or “We need a (insert blank here) instead of a Shadow Priest.” If it’s the latter, then people need to make up their mind BEFOREHAND about what classes to bring along; if Shadow Priest wasn’t on the list, DON’T invite a Shadow Priest. On the guild forums, people were saying that’s it’s giving everyone a fair chance at having a go at the raid. But that’s a crock of shit! You don’t invite someone to the group just because they asked to go. If you don’t need them, don’t invite them. Don’t just invite them because you want them to think that you are going to give them a chance. I dunno…
The second thing… well, maybe it’s just me… but I get the feeling that everyone has their own little niche and the people within them don’t want “outsiders” fucking with that. There are different groups of people that stick together when it comes to getting 5 mans together, there are people that ALWAYS get invited to the raid no matter what class make up is needed and there are people that ignore other players within the guild completely. It bugs me that when someone needs a healer, they aren’t shy at all to ask me to come a long or when they need a tank they’ll ask Rob to hop on his Druid. But when one of us is the one needing a group for somewhere, you can hear crickets in guild chat/Vent. People are so willing to take but hesitate to give. Don’t get me wrong there are a choice few in the guild that I hold in VERY high regards. But I can’t help but to feel so left out and disregarded at times. I can never, and I do mean never, get a group for anything. There have been so many times that I can get one or two people to go (which is usually Rob and Thur) but can’t get enough to actually do anything so we don’t go, everyone just ignores the fact that I’m asking in guild chat (same thing happens to Rob on his toons), or everyone is “busy.” Gee, I wonder how pissed people would be during the day when they can’t get that group for what-the-fuck-ever instance they need for so-and-so item just because they are short a healer. *rolls eyes*
Lastly, I’m always being told to “gear up” and shit. There is only so much I can do by myself. The only upgrades I can get right now are either from heroics, turning in badges from heroics to the dude in Shattrath for gear, or raids. This kind of takes me back to the second issue. How am I supposed to gear myself up if I can’t get groups for Heroics for badges or if I’m always asked to sit out for raids? Yeah that’s great that I’m racking up the DKP by sitting on standby… but if I never get to see the drops what good does my DKP do?
I dunno, I’m touchy about certain things in WoW. Those three things are my biggest pet peeves. Like I said, maybe it’s just me and I’m paranoid about everything. And don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for the times that I DO get help, no matter how seldom the help comes. And I’ve gotten pretty awesome gear from the times that I HAVE gotten in on the raids. I’m sitting on 2 pieces of Tier 4 gear right now (gloves and shoulders), plus a robe from ZA that I’ve been told is on par with T4 (thanks to Thur, who took me along on his ZA run), plus a few other mixed pieces of great gear. So honestly, I should shut my mouth and deal
Soooo, that was my post of the night, sorry it was so… bitchy haha. Maybe I’ll have a happier one next time
Cheers,
Jesster
