Apparently I'm not fit for this game?

I quit WoW for a while because of this very reason - end game became incredibly dull, boring, and repetitive after so many years. I've been toying with the idea of coming back, but if I do, it will be on a new server, as a Horde (been Alliance for six years which doesn't help), possibly guildless, and just doing my RP thing on my own terms at my own pace. End-game means diddly-squat to me now. If I do come back, I'm just gonna probably solo and quest and play with my pets, and that's it.

Honestly, while I enjoy a heroic or ZG/ZA or even peeping into a raid, working second shift all during the week (Anywhere from 1-5PM to 10PM) kinda killed my shots at raiding so now I just putz around herbing, alting and doing archaeology. Suits me just fine, I can jabber at people and not get screamed at for not having THE MAXXXXXXX DPS. I really do miss Wrath sometimes but I fear I'm in the minority on that.

I started playing at the tail end of Burning Crusade...like literally just before Wrath came out by a couple months. Was in a great guild but, the friend that got me playing had a falling out with said guild...and..I drifted off too. We tried other guilds but we never stayed. I'm now part of a guild that there's literally three of us. My old main (a rogue), Kenni and a single one of her toons. That's it. I don't have any of mine there, though I've been thinking of putting them all there just so people stop asking me to join theirs! I don't archy much but I do quests, leatherworking, and leveling up my littles. I like playing this way...though sometimes it does get lonely (Like sitting on an all day campout waiting on Gondria...such as now LOL) But even though I've been asked to join I guess I'm just too shy, and have awkward times of being able to get online. And I have a horrible fear of letting people down. And 99% of the "raiders/dungeoners" I've met are min/max spec power freaks. I can't hang and so I don't try.

I personally found the "Looking for Guild" tab for my lowbie alts wonderful for this sort of issue...I sent in a few requests to a few guilds with the description that I wasnt intending on leveling anything to 85 any time soon, and I was -just- looking for a casual place to hang my alts while I can level and quest in peace, and maybe chat every once in awhile. Yeah I got turned down by alot of guilds. But eventually a GM emailed me in-game to the alt I used to apply, and told me he was perfectly fine with me just hanging out whenever I wanted, and was very understandable when I explained to him that I had my main on another server and might be gone for days, or even weeks at time. So far, the people in his guild have been exceptionally nice to me. And have had no issue with how Ive decided to play those characters. I say, give the LFGuild finder a shot, you might get lucky like I did. The worse thing that could happen is you get turned down by not getting any replies back, or you simply just dont like the people in said guild. But from experience, casual guilds with a good number of people in them are still just that, casual.
