I’ve been a little quite because I am feeling lost.
Some of its the wandering round without a Tag – Some of its feeling confused about the whole Guild Drama blow up. Both sides are people who aren’t necessarily who I thought they were, and I feel stuck in the middle of nothing.
Its a little liberating to wander around without a tag. I also feel like that people are looking at me and pointing at the nigel – noguild –
Did a Pug ZA last night – Someone in Trade was asking for geared for a timed run( we got three chests.. no lootz though 😦 ) , and so I replied, and found in it two people I knew from my old guild in my raid . ( One left when I did, one left a couple of months before) They are both now in different guilds but I got to have a brief chat as to the whole situation, and if anything that chat has made me think now that I really don’t want to follow anyone anywhere. The whole drama of the whole thing has made me sick and really doubt everyone because no one is telling all the truth, and I know enough for alot of it not to add up.
So I will wait until the week is up for a response from my app to their new guild before following it up, and then I will apply to a guild which seems to be where I want for progression, have the right attitude and a BIG No drama policy.
Where as reading forum drama posts and trying to work out who is lying the most might be entertaining to read, when it happens between people you respected and thought of as friends it just makes you feel ill.
Was I hasty in gquitting – nope. I did the right thing for me. Of all things I know that to be true is that. I was hasty in applying to follow them. I still like them, but I really should have been thinking more about me long term then panicing at the lack of tag.
But officers pretending to quit to draw out trolls – and trolls trolling on both sides. I don’t want this.
/hug
cheer up! at least you got a wicked mind flay buff to look forward to! think positive! yay!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you could spend your time browsing the Blogs to find a new server to transfer to, with non-Drama-Lama bloggers.
Make a complete break – guild and server…
Thanks Krizzly – and Gnome I thought about that… but I don’t want to run away completely just yet not sure its a valid reason to explain to new guild why I transfer. Why did you sever transfer? : Escaping drama lamas – Is there something we need to know?: ( Hint: Were you the lama?)
Don’t sweat the guild thing. Regardless of policies, wherever there are people there will be drama. As for joining a new guild, pick one that’s right for you, and if you can’t find one you can always start your own casual guild, maybe pull together some of your old guildies and friends, and pug the extras.
Personally, I haven’t had a guild tag since I transferred servers. Then, even my old guild was only me, my wife, and 2 friends, mostly just to stop getting bugged to join other guilds. Drama still ensued when one of those friends (an officer) looted the guild bank…then had a change of heart, gave the gold back but /gquit anyway.
Trust me, the drama Llama is damn near inescapable. Just distance yourself from it and enjoy the game for what it is. Also, don’t feel bad about /gquitting, you did what’s best for you. Regardless of the feelings of others, you have to do what’s best for yourself and your own psyche first.
1st server move was due to being an Aussie on a US Realm, back in the days when I think Blizzard randomly choose new realms for Aussies based on the least number of Aussies already present. One night prime time in Arathi, I did a /who and I was the only toon there.
2nd server move was Drama Lama move. I was one of the guild leader (who fortunately was hardly ever online, and hadn’t hit raiding levels yet – though I was managing the guild forums at the time /cry).
So basically the guild leadership packed our bags (we are all long time RL friends) and moved servers with no intention of ever forming or joining a guild again… too much work, too much drama.
