I really wish they'd stop screwing over 10 man on things like that. Our server isn't active enough to motivate 25 people to join the same guild. We have a million guilds with like 2 people in them, each, and there's no signs of that ever changing. Our raid guild works very hard and it takes forever to get anyone a legendary, even though we do just as work as a 25-man, who pumps out legendaries like no one's business. It's just not fair.Spiritbinder wrote:
Yeah Blizz did say they really didn't like the way legendaries played out last expansion (current?) and that they became wayyy to common and lost their "legendary" feel. They said they planned on making it a lot less accessible now and would be more likely that 10 mans would struggle to get one and that a 25 man struggle to get a 2nd b4 the next content came out.
As for guild drama, I'm on the same boat. I'm the only hunter, and I really would have loved, after helping people get legendaries, that maybe they'd make a hunter legendary while I was actually raiding, and it'd finally be my turn to do the hard work and feel the warm fuzzies.
But instead, it'd just be something like "Oh, well of course Neilaren gets this legendary, she's the GM's significant other" if I got it. So naturally I'm already giving up on wanting it. If I'm chosen, which would always be a legit possibility; I work hard, try to have perfect attendance, and really pull my weight. But no, I'll back out and insist on reconsideration.
I'm sorry that sometimes couples play WoW, and they enjoy playing together, but I don't sit there and try to mooch gear or have power, OK? I'm not a Yes Man to the GM, in fact, there are very many times I publicly disagree with him. I refuse to be an officer or have any sort of guild power because I just hate when people have that kind of attitude and I'll do anything I can to deter it. Every time I see one of those "lol don't you hate when the GM invites his girlfriend into the game and gives her all of the attention and loot?" jokes floating around the internet it makes my stomach crawl. My friends know it's not the case here, but I'd prefer not to get lumped into that cliche from outsiders.
The fact that I have to go out of my way to essentially ruin my game experience just to avoid an undeserved bad reputation makes me so angry.
Anyway, what's more likely is that my boyfriend will claim the Legendary. After all, he's main tank, raid leader, and GM. The fact that there's been no legendary for him yet (and it took him like 200 Rag kills to get Sulfuras, to the point of it becoming a joke), and that he's had to maintain a guild even in times when it's become more of a chore than a fun pastime; He certainly deserves one by now.
It's just a bitter taste to keep watching other people get legendaries (while feeling that in some cases, they're just getting one because it so specifically requires their class...)
I can't even bother to have the motivation to farm a Thori'dal. It's just another cumbersome thing in my bags, and I won't feel accomplished from getting one, since it's just RNG. I got a Thunderfury back when the SO was doing all those Sulfuras runs, and even that feels dumb to me.
I just want some thing, it doesn't have to be a legendary, that people chip in and help me get; something I can feel accomplished for getting, something that can make me feel warm and fuzzy because other people helped me and maybe actually wanted to help me with, and something that I won't feel bad for being "chosen" to receive.
Just one of my fantasies, as usual,like the time when I was feeling really depressed in many ways and there was this hope that maybe my friends were plotting all sorts of ways to cheer me up, maybe buying me something trivial in-game or writing simple mails or even just saying something nice; But nothing happened. It's just me, being over-optimistic.
Aaaaaanyway, to stop being a downer, I like the idea of the "anyone" legendary, just in case you just don't happen to have an x spec y class, but I'm really waiting for the wall of drama to commence.
At least my guild's potential drama is extremely mild. No one's going to argue with the GM if he claims it, seriously.
I'll probably just rib him a little; I think that's my job.
