Garrosh times two, new team members and goodbye to Epicism

This week was a pretty great week raid wise - at least compared to the last few. The team I lead made it back to Garrosh with amazing timing, it was great considering we had our shadow priest healing and a member of the other team filling in on his mage. One thing I've noticed on Garrosh, enhancement is totally overpowered, the numbers are insane and I sneeze and the mind controlled people are broken. Wouldn't surprise me if I end up killing someone at one point, managed it while healing already!

 The other crew that my priest Angelcakes heals for had a good week as well, we welcomed two new members to the team - a windwalker monk and a combat rogue and they seem like pretty good fits to me. We've had another new addition in the past two weeks, a frost mage from the same guild as the monk joined us as well and we look to be well on the way to getting back to Heroic progression this week. Would be complete with our third healer, but that will come with time and more recruitment.

We did pull off a second Garrosh kill to end the Hellscream blood drought of the past few weeks, looking towards some progression kills this coming week!                                                                                                      

Within the last few weeks we found out that our prior guild Epicism is no more, the guild still physically exists but GM has been passed off again and there was another large amount of people leaving, including the majority of the officership again. The website is shut down and they are no more outside of game. I've found myself experiencing deja vu about the subject, it's almost as if when we left in November occurred again even though I wasn't involved. I am quite sad that they didn't put more of an effort in to rebuild and just abandoned the cause after two months. I know with who was left things didn't look the greatest for them, but if they got the right people involved and returned to the roots Gale (the founder) left us with I think they could have fought a pretty good fight and maybe scraped by for a bit and god knows maybe made a comeback.

Some days I wish I was there for the end, I know that us leaving was essentially a firestarter and I do have a bit of remorse about it. But, I know that I'm better off where I am now, I had a lot of built up stress in that guild that I haven't found myself experiencing lately. I can't imagine what could have happened if that was allowed to blow up but it would probably have cost more then leaving did.

RIP Epicism, you had a great run until towards the end - just shows what one person can do to a group of people. World of Warcraft may be just a bunch of pixels, but behind every character is a person; it's not wise to take others feelings lightly.

Another week of raiding!

My raiding week is halfway done, 3 raids down and 2 to go! My raid crew did amazing this week, we got 2 progression bosses down in a matter of 2 raid nights! This Tuesday will be more Garrosh progression, woot woot!

 Apps for our guild are finally flowing in so hopefully we'll be able to get some Heroic progression bosses killed soon. It's about time people started to join our awesome group of peeps, it looks like our fresh start is only just beginning.

A New Beginning...

Well, yet again I've slacked off on posting to my blog!

Lots of thing have gone on in the past two months; bit of guild drama in what is now my previous guild, a fresh start with some familiar faces with all of it leading up to now. I have to say night now I'm pretty content with my current in-game situation, I'm busy a lot of the time but I get to do what I enjoy!

Quick overview of what happened:
- A troublesome female joined my old guild and did what most people think female gamers do, caused drama. Our new GM essentially fell for her, it was messy and he was willing to not see it any other way then his.
- The new GM screwed up - badly and would not own up to his own mistakes, instead tried to remove the entire officership because we were at fault supposedly. Bad move since the four of us were in agreement minus the GM.
- A large amount of the guild left, including the four officers and we created our own guild - an inside joke as we called ourselves the Legendary Exiles. Somehow my raid team managed to all come over with us, I was very shocked but I still have my raid team minus one of our tanks that had to leave due to a job change.

And that pretty much sums it up. It was an interesting journey, involved a lot of heartbreak from me due to leaving a guild that I had spent so much time and energy on, but I am happy to report that I am now happier then ever minus the Drama Llama(s). Took us a lot of work to build back the guild that we had; we still have more work to do to keep both of our raid teams going, but we're getting there.

 I am currently the GM of this ragtag group and am still actively raid leading. I'm proud to say that my team has made it to 11/14 bosses down in regular Siege of Orgrimmar to this date. The other team (formerly Anger Management once a name change poll gets completed) have killed Garrosh as of last week! I am currently raiding on both my shaman and my discipline priest (I'm the pretty one in tier 5 in the picture!) so I had the pleasure of being one of the members that contributed to the kill! Very proud of both groups, AM managed to pull together and finally get a well deserved Garrosh kill and the former Team Fail Status, now Team Legendary is still steadily getting progression kills.

Looking forward to continuing our new start with a great group of people, hoping to have some more good news the next time I post here!
