I’m always in on a good guild, since I’ve discovered that many good guilds tend to collapse over time as feuds erupt and shit happens. I was in an awesome RP guild on sisters of elune, but people left because they were upset of some of the RP, and the leader and another good friend of mine left at the same time and I ended up being the only player in the guild in the 50s. No one was within 10 levels of me.
I just made 60 for the first time with any character in WoW two weeks ago, and I joined the Aldor (as elder 70s recommended for a holy priest), and I did some questing in outland. But two days later, I started to realize that I had HUGE expectations of Outland. I’d had a hearth in Shattrath since 20, and the place was so nice that my expectations were high.
I’ve also learned recently that in many endgame situations, shadow priests are preferred to holy, and I personally would rather heal than do the shadow thing, which I have never done. I’ve soloed to 60 using only Holy powers, and the non-talent based shadow stuff like SW:P, I just don’t like shadow much at all.
The repetitiveness of Holy Priest attack sequences has set in. Lead off Holy Fire, Shadow Word, Mind Blast, Shield, Smite Repeatedly. It never changes in solo. Now that most of my friends are gone, and only some weirdos remain, and ranks are thoroughly unlogical in my guild, I had little motivation to continue. I made it through the fifties despite boredom, and despite frustration with quests that never told me they should be group only. (A Final Blow, Felwood anyone?)
So I’m not playing Wow again, even though a good guild would get me back in, though perhaps with a different character. I would enjoy a SD guild, because I’d wager dopers would be fun to 5 man with.
I’ve switched back to my first MMO, city of heroes, where I’m going to try to get a 50 hero side to play with Khelds, and in the mean time try out a blaster again.
