Blimey … what a day in WoW that was …
The earthquakes started around lunchtime when one guild decided they were leaving. Fair enough, they had a lot of dangerous people in there and a raid leader who basically wasn’t doing the job properly. They threw their teddies out the pram bigtime when our Revered Leader and Overqueen defended one of the Mercenaries (my guys) over what he said on Wednesday’s failed Onyxia run. He swore over the voice comms because someone was being insanely dangerous. Ah well – the dangerous person is not in Guildlink any more. He was part of the triangle that led to Valhalla leaving.
Then a little while later, the Withering guild announce they’re going as well. So we were left in a big hole, with a big raid due later and plans in absolute chaos … Heh. So they thought ! Several hours later, we were back organised again (that’s why we revere the Overqueen) and had a full balanced raid group going into Molten Core. Which was the first time for many of the people going in.
How did we do ? It helped that we got epic loot (da good stuff) really early and that the loot went to new people. That helped settle people down, reminding them why we were there. We died a few more times than we’re used to but that’s fine … Lot of new people. We still got 3 bosses down, which is fantastic for a run with so many new people.
So, Guildlink’s lost a few people. We’ll miss them sure, but I personally won’t miss the cluster of extremely dangerous players that have gone as well. That’s dangerous in terms of being stupid and indisciplined and causing problems for the raid. We’ll bounce back, we’ll grow stronger. We’ll definitely keep enjoying our relaxed attitude to raiding. As we did tonight. Lots of good stuff tonight and we’ll be back for more tomorrow.
Time to move on, wave goodbye to the elitist people who will now try and rub in what fantastic players they are. We’re better off without them. As long as we have the Overqueen, we’ll do just fine. (We better look after her !)
