Frustrations are mounting with my guild. Little history lesson here folks; I left my initial guild in September due to some politicking going around by the GM. It was for the best. I was distraught, as most of the people I knew in the game were from this one guild, so loneliness took over, finding myself suddenly without any support.
I got a message one day a couple weeks later from someone that was disgusted by how I was treated there, and told me that if I wanted, they would let me into their guild. I was contacted by someone that would later become probably my closest confidant in the game, and so I joined.
It was a pretty sweet spot. Keys quests for Kara were running at a regular basis, I was extremely close to 70, and Kara began just as I was wrapping up my key quests (This was around the time of Hallow's End). We soon began to have extreme difficulties with the Huntsmen, and so we merged with a much larger raiding guild, only to be treated virtually as second class citizens; we were unable to get groups to run anything, and in spite of promises of Kara and Gruul runs, nothing happened at all.
Furious, most of us left, some of our guild mates decided to stay in, leading to a falling out. We then came across more difficulties, as we developed a reputation for being jackasses during instances (In truth, we were simply not putting up with incompetence). Decided that we were going to get little respect as a developing raiding guild, along with a 'guild war', we quickly formed up a new guild that had pretty much the same people in it.
Two guild mergers later, and the original guild is being used for the main raiding. That's right. We left this guild to form ANOTHER guild, which later got merged into another guild, and then absorbed into yet another guild, only to have the raiders revert to the original guild that we had.
During all this time, I really had very little to do. Real life was taking over, I had little time to really run anything. And now, I'm out of work, using the shortage to raid again. However....my how things change.
For some reason, my close confidant that I mentioned earlier up here has little to do with me, the IQ of guild chat is going south in a hurry, and I honestly feel lost. I can still keep raiding, but I'm so frustrated with it. I don't know if it's them or me. How hard is it, honestly, to be able to get a run together for regular MGT? A decent guild run. A lot of people can say 'lol, PuG it', but that really doesn't do it for me. Am I a jackass because I expect people in the guild to do stuff with people in the guild? I really don't think it's me, I think it is the guild. I've seen people ask questions in guild chat and it goes ignored, it's aggravating.
So...yeah.
I don't know what to do about this; I'm not really fond of finding another raiding guild, because there's honestly maybe 3 people that I know in the guild, and that's all, and two of them seem like they've become distant jerks.
Argh.
There will be more later, there's a Kara raid tonight that I'm taking part in, hopefully we can down Prince, we had issues with AFKers last night. I think I'm going to call them on their bullshit if I don't get put in; what's the point in saying we're farming Kara to gear people if you have to take someone that's decently geared for Kara out to bring in more DPS on what should be a piece of cake fight for a group that knows it so well?
Peace
