Hating this new raiding crap- I'm missing all the progressive stuff cause with my job and me being at my rents' house over the summer there's no way to know whether I'm gonna make a raid until the night of, so I can't sign up, and therefore I've been shouldered out of pretty much every serious raid we're doing. Good news though, is that my guild has downed Vashj and Rage Winterchill, and we tried our first attempt on Kael Sunday night (which I got to go to- thank god!) and got to phase 2 really easily- even got a few of the weapons dead within the first 4 tries. (It was 11:30 before we got there, so we only tried 5-6 times, if that). I suppose this forced break is good, but it's driving me insane.

Long time, no post.

As a full-time student, the prospect of WoW+finals makes for no time for much of anything else. What's new? 70 Rogue, nearly 60 lock #2, slowly building a horde toon, and perhaps in the process of switching mains. My guild is missing only Vashj and Kael from SSC/TK, and I'm ridiculously proud of the progress we've made. However I'll admit I was a little bummed to get called out for being someone who doesn't seem to "enjoy" progressive raiding. Granted, I guess I was acting that way because of RL stress, but it's still disappointing to see someone feel like they have to address you about not enjoying yourself.
My apparent discomfort with progressive raiding has caused me to miss the first kills of every boss post-Karathress, so while I am pleased that we're doing well and that I have managed to see all those bosses downed since (except Al'ar), I can't help but wonder if maybe my GM is noticing something I don't want to see. I don't know whether I'm bummed about missing so much success, or that I'm relieved that I've been let off the hook, or maybe a bit of both.
Either way, this summer I'm working/traveling so I'll be playing Warcraft considerably less than usual. Should be interesting :/
