We failed Dismally at Gruls Last night. Wiped 3 times on the High King: and a significant number of people called it. Firstly we had 19 Guildys in the run, and then at times leading up to and including the wipes had a total of 22-24 people in a 25 man run.
We one shotted Gruls last week with 24 – We can do it. Just need people to turn up every week. So after Staring one hour after the orginal starting time and mucking round and dying for another hour. We called it.
My Current Guild has had contradictory assesments as to the need to stop Kara completely. The ones that no longer need it say No. Others say yes – so besides being confused, there was a Event posted on Calander for a Thur Night Kara Run, that 17 people have signed up for one 1o man raid, not enough for 2 groups – So i removed myself from Event.
My experiences todate with Current Guild weekly run on a Thur Night of Kara have been as follows
Run 1- Pug/unplanned run -Cleared to Prince – I got three Epics. ( by chance) and lots of Badges. Clean run, one or two wipes, good learning xp ( positive experience)
Run 2 -( to finish off Run1 with complete new group) Asked to respec to healer for 2 bosses 6 wipes a repair bill and respec costs ( negative experience)
Run2 – Canx – not enough people / healers for two groups. ( negative experience)
Run 3 – Started an hour late – Subbed in and out various people for different bosses taking twice as long as it should due to stuffing round in addition. I logged at 12am because I had been on and ready since 8 and was bored – annoyed – and wasnt having fun. ( negative experience)
So when I got an invite to a pug run after Gruls – not even a complete set from another guild, I grabbed it. and Scored.. SOULFROST!! – I now own that enchant. ( /cry not the rod though have half mats for that though) No epics. But it was a clean run, one or two wipes, and efficient and fun.
Others in the guild had a similar idea to me… and some pugged a Kara run – Some thought about it in guild chat. And got told off. I havent.
I understand from a guild loyalty perspective – But when management are changing their minds about hosting a Kara run or not – I’m then looking at looking after my own interests. It was still a Pug run of Kara – Yes they were well geared and experienced by anything could have gone wrong – so it was a risk the run would not be successful but it was something to do –
Im waiting for Guild to confront me about it – maybe they won’t but everyone else got told off – Im new maybe they dont want to scare me off – and I have a case to present if they do. I feel sorta bad for not doing a guild thing.. but My money my playtime.
