WoW Chix

It is SO good to be back in my own home and with my own things and around my babies (my 3 kitties and my doggy) and in my own office in my own leather recliner. *sigh of relief* I love my home haha.

I’ve been a busy little beaver since I’ve been home. Working on my jewelry site, making new stuff for the winter carnival and buying all the things I need to get my table set up tomorrow has kept me busy. I’m a little nervous, what if no one likes my stuff? What people scoff and laugh because my stuff sucks balls? *psssh* Fuck that, my shit rocks and I know it *whew* I’m gonna kick ass tomorrow and make some mad cash…. *whimpers* I hope.

Anyway, in actual WoW news, (or at least in MY WoW news) for some odd reason I had an urge to make an Alliance character. My hubby has some friends at work that play on the Alliance side of Muradin, so he made a character there and I decided I would make one, too. I gotta say, my little gnome Rogue, Limeonade (with green hair of course), kicks some ass. She’s only level 7. But I didn’t realize that I would like playing her so much. I do have a lvl 41 Nelf Hunter, but I have never had the desire to go back and play her. I really like playing Limeonade, even though I hate the lower lvls, I can see myself playing her more often. I know that right now, Greg is mentally kicking me in the shin and cursing me for not playing my priest more. Let me explain how I feel about WoW right now:

I love WoW. I love WoW probably a lot more than a girl should love a video game. It makes me happy. If I’m stressed about RL shit, I can log onto my fantasy world and play my little people and make them do what I want them to do. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to. But lately, I find myself not logging on… because, I feel so stuck with my Priest. I’m so pressured to do anything and everything. Raid this, gear that, rep here, and grind there. For the most part, when I play Amedeah, I’m sitting around doing nothing. No one wants to get a group together for anything I need because they are all off doing their own thing. No big deal though, I can always go grind my Netherwing Rep… which is pretty much all there is for me to do unless I get a group for badges. I’m tired of people telling me what to do on my Priest. I love my priest, a lot. I’ve spent so much time on her. Same goes for my mage, but I feel the same with her. There is only so much I can do on my own.

My guild is nice and all. But a lot of them are rather hypocritical and/or condescending.  Don’t get me wrong, there have been times (like when I first joined) where people made time to help me out with things, go on runs with me, whatever. But now, I can say something in guild chat and I’m ignored. *pssh* Whatever. I’m not the only one it happens to either. I’ve seen other people get ignored or completely looked over. So many times I’ve been told, “Oh Ame, just let me know what you need and I’m there,” or “Hey, just let me know where you need a run through and I’ll go.” But when it comes down to it, I can’t count on any of them *sigh* I’ve gone way outta my way, spent MY gold and MY time to help others. Even if it wasn’t on some big scale. But I’ve sat through many a raid with my raging headaches and my even worse back pain… just because they were short a healer… even though I had only planned to be on for 20 minutes or so. Bah. Whatever.

TBH, only a few people come to mind when I think about those that have helped in me in the game. My hubby, of course, has been the biggest help to me. I can’t even put into words how much. I wouldn’t even still be playing if it weren’t for him. Helel (Matt) has always helped whenever needed, was always down for a run. Shadowlife (Tony) was the same. These two were in my first guild, Crimson Tears. We just kinda stuck together after that. And then of course there’s Thurlarn/Peiyotee (Greg). A smartass to say the least (it’s part of his charm haha), but has never said no to helping when he can.

It’s kind of funny really, Rent to Pwn, that I joined with my Shaman right before Christmas, has been more supportive and is always offering to help with whatever I need. I’m always sure to get a good bunch of laughs and I always feel good while playing with those guys (and girls!). I’m not trying to bash the guild that Amedeah is in. Not by any means at all. I’m just saying that I feel more comfortable and appreciated and… I dunno… wanted. I feel like when I log into Amedeah’s guild, no one gives a damn. But when I log on to Koos or Thread, everyone says hi and what not.

I don’t think I want to try and raid right now. It’s just not working out with my current schedule. And I find it really boring anyway. It’s not worth all the gold I spend on pots, food, etc, only to die a million times because people don’t know what they are doing (and won’t listen to those that do). Right now, I’m happy logging on to Koos and doing a few quests here and there and now, possibly playing my gnome a little more. We’ll see how things pan out. But raiding just isn’t an option for me right now.

*Note* I really don’t want anyone in FL that might be reading this right now to get the wrong idea. I don’t dislike the guild or anyone in it. I just don’t feel that FL’s plans are for me, at least not at this time. If they wish to remove me from the guild, that’s ok by me. I would like to remain in the guild with Amedeah, but if the GM’s feel that I shouldn’t be there, ok then. I’m not trying to bitch about it or anything like that. I just wanted to make that note.

Ok *deep breath* enough of my whining about WoW for tonight. I still have things I need to get done to get ready for tomorrow morning. I have to be at Violet’s school by around 11am I think, possibly even a little earlier. We’ll see how things go.

 

Cheers,
