As much as I fought with myself...sometimes violently...to NOT come back to WoW...
I'm back.
I'm a bear.
I'm not going to be anything but a bear unless I am bored enough to heal a 5 man instance now and again.
I'm not raiding, I like the freedom.
I'm addicted to mount farming.
I still religiously farm Ashes of Al'ar. It's still refusing to drop.
I'm not as much of an alt-o-holic anymore. Time is extremely limited.
Where did I go...well, like Thomas Rhett sings, "life changes." And it did. Drastically. It wasn't that I got mad at the expansion or a patch or a nerf or anything like that...my computer couldn't keep up and honestly, life was keeping me happy and busy enough that I just didn't have the time to play much.
I have even less time now, but I think everyone needs something they can do for stress relief. That's why I haven't unlocked flying in two out of the newest three expansions or worked on any Glory achievements. I just spend the time I can play farming mounts or exploring. I'm not interested in raiding or really dungeon grinding anymore. I come here to relieve stress, not cause more of it!
With that, I apologize if the blog transforms into a n00bfest of farming posts and other less-than-exciting adventures. One of the main reasons I keep the blog to begin with isn't necessarily to teach anyone about the game, though that used to be one of the reasons. The core reason I started this blog was because, well let's be honest - we all invest a lot of time and a lot of ourselves in our characters. They're a digital extension of us in this virtual world. I just wanted to keep a journal for my druid of things that happened (especially back when this game was my escape from life and it took up so much of my time) to look back on and enjoy. Isn't that why anyone keeps a journal? To capture moments, good and bad, for reflection?
