A minor grievance of mine, especially in the early days of Kara was that an item would drop and everyone would go.. ohh ohh.. I need that.
You would then check out your own gear – Already a purple or a blue that you have either Bg’d / Arena’d heroric’d for and then pass – because the item isn’t really un upgrade after you have just spent 17k honour points getting that new item ( and do yo uknow how hard that is to get now on Av weekends.. /cry )
And as the runs continue – and more purples drop – and they aren’t upgrades really as a whole – or they are for an off spec – and you don’t get any of them – you start to think why am I here? So add up all the other reasons. You quit.
Ive gotten couple of purples from Kara. – Gloves off Attunmen – Staff off Curator and a robe off Opera( which I now use as a healing robe but was my best damage robe at the time. ) I haven’t don’t too bad. But – add up the weeks and the cost of being in there because of lack of progression and that we never had a warlock – and that we have been running since Octoberish maybe even September. That’s A LOT of time – for not a lot of success.
We did it hard – No one with experience to help when 1st running – reading up on the fights working out roles but since then we have splintered off another team – had to Pug out of the core team for 50% of the runs due to non attendance or RL commitments. Add into that we have had alts being swapped in for fights – the rule was that an Alt got 2nd preference – but still when everyone else was gearing up their offspecs any decent healing gear went to the Alt because they were a healer, and then in the next breath. Will you heal for the next fight.
That was my old Guilds loot rules, and while Im not running Kara as much ( I dont have to. We clear in one night what used to take 3) Its sort of a Nanna group – but for the most everyone is well geared, and they are now after one off items or badges only .
I didnt leave my old Guild for one reason, and I get whispers from some of them saying ( its good they are on speaking terms) – “we downed prince..” ect ect.. Im like “Congrats!” and I’m happy for them.. but it was a combination of things – including that I was considering airing my greviences on Guild relations forum, but the one reply that keept getting me was for most of those posts was If you are not happy leave. I wasn’t happy – I couldnt see anything changing to fix that..” So I left.
It was hard – but it was for the best.
