As part of my Monday Morning rambling, I wanted to talk a little bit about feeling burnt out. Hard to believe, right? But it's true...I'm definitely feeling burnt out. In the beginning of patch 4.1 or...whichever brought us Firelands...the whole idea of what my raid guild was doing seemed awesome. We'd all be asked to raid 2 nights a week with the option to have a 3rd night off with an alternate taking our place. That seemed so awesome...but our guild hit a rough patch a few weeks into Firelands and now we're struggling to fill our 25 man raid group. No, there wasn't really any drama...but we've had a streak of nasty luck. One of our main tanks got really sick, another main tank's computer died...two of our healers have too much RL stuff going on and have canceled their accounts for now...
That means that I get to raid 3 nights a week. Every week. And while I do love to raid...sometimes I just want to go be a total noob on an alt someplace...People keep saying to me that I can just tell my guild leader I need time off...but I don't want to be that guy. You know...the person that's preventing your entire raid team from running because you aren't there...the 25th person they're waiting for...yeah I don't want to be that guy and like I said, I love raiding. I've been there for all of our First Kills in Firelands so far and that's a cool feeling.
I'd especially like to be there for our first Staghelm kill...and Ragnaros. The Rags fight looks so fun...
But anyway...I'm feeling a little less than enthusiastic lately. I've let one of my dearest friends hang out on my account a lot lately. Mainly he farms for me...occasionally does dailies...runs up repair bills...stuff like that...I love running instances on alts with friends still, but actually going out and questing and stuff...it's just not my cup of tea right now. Running dungeons to gear my level 85 alts? NO THANK YOU.
I'm sick of grinding rep and valor points...Luckily, my valor points get capped easily on my druid every week because she's actively raiding. I usually only have to run 1 or 2 heroics to finish it off with her. My shaman and priest (my "main" alts) are another story. I haven't actively raided on either of them, nor do I even want to. I'm so sick of healing I could scream...that's why I thought leveling my warlock would be a good change of pace...but she's 85 and trying to gear her makes me want to scream, so...I don't bother with her too much these days. I don't even play my death knight or my mage at all anymore. Maybe melee dps would be a good change of pace...I suppose I could give that a try, but I'd need to get my DK two weapons, because she's frost and 2h frost is broken supposedly.
Maybe I'll just take some time off and go read the Twilight series...nothing would make you miss your night elf more than a twinkling vampire...right?
I apologize for the "filler" post today. I've been a little under the weather for the past 2 days and have sort of been less than enthusiastic about playing the game so I really don't have much to say.
For someone without much to say, I sure do talk alot.
HA! Anyway, RL calls so I'll post again soon. Take care!
