Hate: The RNG. Group of 5 officers summoning the stupid Brewfest boss. I have 5 summons, our MT has 2, Rogue has 3, Pally has 2, Warlock has 3. 15 summons, no mount, no DPS/Healing trinket for my Shaman. All my characters have both the stupid pet trinkets and the shield block trinket. Aargh.
Hate part 2: Some bill collector keeps calling my work number looking for the girl that used to work here, and doesn't believe I'm not her. I'm not paying her stupid credit card bill, no matter how many times he calls.
Hate/Happiness: So a couple of the officers decided they don't want to try to rebuild after Xpac so we're calling it quits. It was a good run, and I'm kind of looking forward to joining up with some folks as not-an-officer. I forgot what it was like to log in and *not* get a barrage of tells, "hey my mother in law's in town so I can't raid tonight, um so-and-so said he wont be on either, gl with the raid since you have no healers or tanks, I'll see you tomorrow to bitch about how progression isn't moving fast enough." I do feel bad for the folks that have been there since the beginning, they're the reason we pushed on for as long as we did. Although it was fun playing Santa and dividing up the gbank between all the folks that got us there in the first place.
Hope: So I think I came up with a healy leveling spec for my Priest, going deep Discipline as Circle of Healing is redundant for 5 mans and the no downranking thing has shot our single target efficiency to shit. It's going to be interesting to say the least. The bonus to this: Penance is *SO PRETTY.* I'm not sure how I feel about having my main healing spell require me to be facing my target, but hell I'll try it. Hopefully by 80 they'll fix Holy's issues as Guardian Spirit looks really good now.
Happy: The romance goggles are the greatest things ever. Everyone is a female orc now; including Razorthorn Flayers. I find them INCREDIBLY less annoying as huge lumbering orc amazons.
Happy they are getting collecter's editions at work
They are not putting them out till the 19thD:
wtf, do they not like money, or are they assuming that the addicts will buy the regular edition AND and collector's edition a week later?
Can you guess where I currently work?
Any guess?
The hell of Walmart
I have no idea why they are doing that because everyone in electronics is being vauge about if they are going to put them out on the morning of the 13th or not

Sorry to hear about your guild. I'd say app to mine, but were probably too nooby. And we don't make people raid 8 days a week.

I will most likely be picking up another healing priest for Wrath.
http://www.brethren-guild.org. We average ~ 23-24 in age (None under 18) and generally hate the same things Penny Arcade type people hate.
I am very proud of that post. It's basically JFK's famous speech with Communist -> Horde, World -> Realm, America -> Brethren and a few other convenient rewordings.
Annoyed: My guild leader can either be a huge prick or be really nice.
Yesterday a guildy farmed some of those shield rune things (4000 dmg absorbed) and tossed em in the bank. So I thanked him but mentioned that he should just send them to me, because in the tab we have access to we are only allowed 3 withdrawls.
There are other consumables that cost alot and that I use often so i choose the most expensive ones and buy the others. The GL logs on and he breaks into some blah blah shpiel about how he and one other person farms everything and the gbank doesnt pay for anything.
So I ask him why he doesn't use some of the 200k~ the gbank has? He just logs. So his wife starts getting annoyed at me, and blah blah blahs. I don't like my guild very much atm.

Mmhm, good riddance! I'm sorry you didn't get to finish Sunwell but at least your guild seems to have gone out on its own terms.
Mine is still holding out to kill Twins soon. They got really really close their first full night in there but haven't had the right healer composition since. It's sad.
Hope: Guild can hold together until 3.0, at which point I think there will be a resurgent interest in raiding because people want to try out new talent builds and also try current content without Sunwell Radiance and with 30% less HP on everything... I might even try to get back in for a few myself. Curiosity killed the.. um.. my newfound free time!
Also, happy: Finding out the heroic you were already headed to happens to be both dungeon dailies.

That post is beautiful.
Idk, all I have to offer is 100% attendance, a small army of alts with maxed out professions so I don't have to rely on "that guy" to log in to make me consumables, a desire to actually play as a healer so the officers don't have to deal with someone pestering them "hey, I'm shadow atm so if you want me as that..." (That drove me insane)
SEETHING RAGE: Apparently, today at lunch was the last straw for the Water Cooling in mine.
Hope: I got the machine shut off quickly enough to prevent any serious Over-heating damage to the drives/motherboard/processor. It's now sitting in a shop, to determine if it is indeed just a possible over-heat issue, and that nothing was lost/damaged.
Happy: 2 120Watt chassis fans, 1 Processor fan + heat skins and other goodies. Should be fun times, once I get this damn Radiator out. >.<

Do you also need a top DPS Warlock perchance?
I'm not certain what our recruiting situation is like, but we might provide something you're looking for. My wife and I are both happy to call DJ home.
Hate: Stormrage threw up for like an hour last night, and by the time it came back up the gauntlet on the way to Twins had soft reset. Noone should have to do that multiple times in one night, it's just mind-numbing. This also means that M'uru/KJ will have to wait for tonight, thus ruining another week's shot at a one night clear.
I used to run a Horde guild, back in the BWL days and have a special place in my heart for raiders that have been in an officer position before and just want to play. They understand drama and generally refrain from the type of douche behavior people lucky enough to have never been in those positions often do.
But yeah, we need a handful of people to augment the inevitable losses to WotlK.
I'm down to three classes I will recruit into: Warlock, Priest and Shaman.
I wish some of our officers of years past would just go away. We have this issue within the guild because of where we came from years ago, a merger of two small guilds, one of which had about six officers mostly comprised of our current GM, his girlfriend, his brothers, etc. Pre-BC they all raided and did their officer duties but throughout BC one never played except casually at all, and the other raided off and on and is now off again (some suspect he only started showing up again after no one else needed a MH glaive but then we put BT on the back burner). I don't dislike them, they're good people, but they just plain should not be officers of this guild in its current incarnation. Then there's two other officers who raided through most of BC but quit around February of this year and resubscribe occasionally to say hi. It's a fucking mess. And the worst part is the overpopulation of useless people in /o on some days seems to preclude promoting new officers who actually participate in the day-to-day functions of the guild. But you try telling your GM that his brother shouldn't be in /o. :sigh:

Guild mergers are a bloody mess. My other guild was formed from the merger of two medium-sized guilds. They came up with this cockamanie idea to have co-GM leadership, from Guild 1 & 2. Suffice it to say, it didn't work out. Plus the officers on both sides wanted to keep their old positions in the guild prior to the merger.
If you're a GM or officer, or whathaveyou, & you're on the opposite side of the world, working in hours most people sleep in & have the maturity of a turnip, then you're not qualified to run a guild. People need to see officers online or there's mass panic. Or there's my current guild, where the officer title means NOTHING, & people use the /o as a private chat channel. "I want my friend or this girl I'm cybering to be in /o so I can talk to them." The GM who's barely around promoted one of his fellow hunters to officer, who also does nothing, over the paladin that they've saddled with all the paladin duties. Said paladin went ballistic.
I used to run a Horde guild, back in the BWL days and have a special place in my heart for raiders that have been in an officer position before and just want to play.
This is actually key to why I love bear runs so much. Static group of us, we (pretty much) all have geared-enough alts to fill a different role if someone can't be around a particular night... It's awesome to just log in and play and not have to worry about 24 disappointed people because we're short healers.
Unrelated happiness: I was ecstatic to see that there's going to be more challenges in Wrath.... Obsidian Sanctum hard mode boss awarding extra loot/mounts. Bring it on.

Hey GM, while I really like X a lot, he hasn't been involved the guild, raiding, or the leadership of either. Being an officer should not be equated to being in Shattered Oath's elite social club. It should be about responsibility. If we were just gonna let all the fun guys in here, I'd get popularpersonY and popularpersonZ in here too. But we aren't going to do that, since being an officer is about responsibility and not popularity. So let's clean house a bit and put only the people who are going to shoulder the burden of responsibility in as officers.

My guild used a trifecta of guild leaders, and to date we're the only guild that i am aware of where three people shared guild leader responsibilities and even went so far as to switch guild ownership from one person to the next.
At any rate, we have a super duper stringent list of requirements before we let a dude in as an officer. I've been in previous guilds before, believe me, and I've always been surprised by how eager people are to promote people based on nothing more than how much they enjoy talking with a person. Skill? Leadership? A cool head? Reasonableness? Openness? Ability to receive criticism? 90% of officers I've ran into while playing WoW had zero of those qualities.

Man, why the fucking fuck hasn't Lurien been promoted to officer yet? I've only been gone for 5 months, jeeeez.
And maybe we're the only guild that does it, because we're the only guild with three dudes with dicklust for each other?

It's awesome to just log in and play and not have to worry about 24 disappointed people because we're short healers.
This is why I entertain fantasies of being just a ten-man raider in WLK. Our first dozen bear runs were exactly this (though without the alts part, but I'm sure if half of those people hadn't quit the server/game shortly after, it might have happened). The same ten or twelve people, good players, no one being an asshole, no one whining about loot rules... and the timed instance run was a challenge and fun.
Me too. I'm excited about doing 10 mans. I'm looking forward to the expansion overall, leveling & exploring & all that. Saving baby elephants. ^_^
My boyfriend flew around Storm Peaks in beta. OMG, that place looks amazing. It's just...@[email protected]
Hoping to join/form a small guild with friends to do 10mans/heroics. I'm past wanting to be a part of "hardcore raiding guild". I don't want the "hardcore" so much as I want people who know what to do, don't need to be spoon fed every strat, who put in effort...I'm so fed up with idiots right now. As in, "I'm not summoning half the fucking raid to Archimonde again because you fuckwits are too lazy to get your fucking rep to take the goddamned port."
I will be sincerely surprised if we don't see a fairly dramatic turn in raiding from this.
Possibly in outright downsizing, with barely anyone doing the 25's, or an explosion of success in 25 mans, because of improved gearing up of people in smaller instances, making it easier to keep people up to date in terms of hps/tps/dps. Actual skill will remain important, of course, but you'll also (presumably) have similarities between the 10 and 25 man versions of each encounter, so while there'll be new things to learn, I suspect it'll be something akin to the "normal boss" versus the "heroic boss" versions; the generalities will be the same, but there'll be a new layer of complexity involved.
Forar on
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
Hate: Well, I broke down and installed WAR. After playing WoW for a year, it just seems so unpolished and.....second rate to WoW. The screenshots are so pretty, but running around in the game for a couple days just didn't do it for me.
I'm also apparently the only one who feels this way.
More Hate: Considering how old WoW graphics are, and the engine it's built around, WoW just seems so unbelievably polished compared to WAR.
Happy: The PQs were fun when there were more people than just myself doing them.
More Happy: Not having to worry about dealing with playing 2 MMOs simultaneously.
Hoping to join/form a small guild with friends to do 10mans/heroics.
Forumer reroll guild IMO.
(Edit: Although I would probably never actually do this, because I feel like I'm approaching a Forar-like level of alts which it would be prohibitively expensive to move and I could never totally abandon.)
hey my mother in law's in town so I can't raid tonight, um so-and-so said he wont be on either, gl with the raid since you have no healers or tanks, I'll see you tomorrow to bitch about how progression isn't moving fast enough
Probably. The only one I've really seen play out is the Beasts which, for its intentions, was successful at least for a time. My own guild started as a forumer reroll but it was to try the new-fangled RP-PVP server type....

Happy: Public quests are great, if WoW had them I don't think I'd do anything else.
bosses are too
Jan'alai is hilarious as a female orc
and so are blood elf paladins
Can you guess where I currently work?
I have no idea why they are doing that because everyone in electronics is being vauge about if they are going to put them out on the morning of the 13th or not
You mean not including the times the RNG lets you put out 5 2k crits at the same time?
Which appears to be everytime when i'm fighting them
what are you wearing, greens? of course fighting against a green/blue equipped priest without resilience is immensly fun
not the other kind though

At any rate, we have a super duper stringent list of requirements before we let a dude in as an officer. I've been in previous guilds before, believe me, and I've always been surprised by how eager people are to promote people based on nothing more than how much they enjoy talking with a person. Skill? Leadership? A cool head? Reasonableness? Openness? Ability to receive criticism? 90% of officers I've ran into while playing WoW had zero of those qualities.
And maybe we're the only guild that does it, because we're the only guild with three dudes with dicklust for each other?
This is why I entertain fantasies of being just a ten-man raider in WLK. Our first dozen bear runs were exactly this (though without the alts part, but I'm sure if half of those people hadn't quit the server/game shortly after, it might have happened). The same ten or twelve people, good players, no one being an asshole, no one whining about loot rules... and the timed instance run was a challenge and fun.
My boyfriend flew around Storm Peaks in beta. OMG, that place looks amazing. It's just...@[email protected]
Hoping to join/form a small guild with friends to do 10mans/heroics. I'm past wanting to be a part of "hardcore raiding guild". I don't want the "hardcore" so much as I want people who know what to do, don't need to be spoon fed every strat, who put in effort...I'm so fed up with idiots right now. As in, "I'm not summoning half the fucking raid to Archimonde again because you fuckwits are too lazy to get your fucking rep to take the goddamned port."
Happier: I posted 10 stacks of mageweave at 6g a piece. They all sold within 4 hours.
Possibly in outright downsizing, with barely anyone doing the 25's, or an explosion of success in 25 mans, because of improved gearing up of people in smaller instances, making it easier to keep people up to date in terms of hps/tps/dps. Actual skill will remain important, of course, but you'll also (presumably) have similarities between the 10 and 25 man versions of each encounter, so while there'll be new things to learn, I suspect it'll be something akin to the "normal boss" versus the "heroic boss" versions; the generalities will be the same, but there'll be a new layer of complexity involved.
I'm also apparently the only one who feels this way.
More Hate: Considering how old WoW graphics are, and the engine it's built around, WoW just seems so unbelievably polished compared to WAR.
Happy: The PQs were fun when there were more people than just myself doing them.
More Happy: Not having to worry about dealing with playing 2 MMOs simultaneously.
Forumer reroll guild IMO.
(Edit: Although I would probably never actually do this, because I feel like I'm approaching a Forar-like level of alts which it would be prohibitively expensive to move and I could never totally abandon.)
don't these like always, inevitably fail?
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
hai new sig
Probably. The only one I've really seen play out is the Beasts which, for its intentions, was successful at least for a time. My own guild started as a forumer reroll but it was to try the new-fangled RP-PVP server type....
