Not jumping ship Mu. Still here. Just not with Malk. I'm leveling my druid to add to the healer ranks.
I had a long thing all typed up but the forums logged me out heh
Suffice to say -
Yes Khorshah. I was very unhappy with how our raiding was going but the last thing I wanted to do was add more negativity to how our raiding was going since, i think we'd be rocking all of the instances, hard mode or not if people would actually show up.
Sure, RL issues get in the way and whatnot, so not much you can do, but as it is for the others that just don't.. I would say more of your anger be pointed at them than myself, because then regardless of whether or not I show up with Malk, You'd still have people. Which is still somewhat the case as far as DPS goes - as we tend to dismiss a few DPSers as it is.
Yes I was unhappy with the fact that we don't seem to be as tenacious as we were in BC with the content. We try a few times and if we wipe for a bit, people start to complain and want to stop. Didn't do that with those so called, "Guild-breaking" bosses, Kael'thas and Vashj.
And more to the point, we were never really going for some safety net of being *over* geared and always downed them with gear that was slightly *under*geared, at worst, or juuuust enough to get us by. But we always did it
Would like to point out that i've been a *very* dedicated raider since Karazhan came out, and never missed a raid till my mother passed, soo don't act like i'm some newbie who took a look at our raiding situation and said, "Fuck this =\" because that is not the case. I've been unhappy for a while in that regard, so I took the chance to rectify that so i wouldn't throw my monitor out the window, or at a passing pedestrian.
The core of my frustration though is that I *KNOW* we can do all of this stuff if we just dedicated our time to killing the bosses that give us issues,
taking the time to actually set up and figure out what we're going to do on the boss without being rushed because we're low on time after spending half an hour to an hour in VoA., and once we do, doing it again instead of wasting time flying around trying to go to VoA for stuff the majority of our raiders don't really need (especially since triumph badges are so easy to come by), instead of complaining and calling it a night. Hell, Puppy team is a testament to that fact. They didn't have the gear per say but they sure as hell got their shit handled.
So yeah. The cheery thing was not to rock the boat, or seem ungreatful or seem like i was leaving as a player, and not just move my character. I'm not leaving as a player, but I was sufficiently unhappy enough (that is to say very unhappy) to try something out with Malk, so please, don't disrespect me like acting like I took Malkaris out on a fucking whim, Mu.
