Hi folks,
I would like this to become not only a rant, although i guess it’s inevitable, also not even sure how can this be fixed/helped/avoided.
It’s about most (so far, close to all) raiding guilds approach to raid leading.
My issue is that i don’t know who stablished that raids have to be led with military and or forbes-500-company level of attitude towards its players.
“Management” absolutely never fails, only others do. I know why these people are not in high end guilds, since in those guilds they wipe for hours and hours on bosses. I noticed i don’t even play at my best. As for example in a tank mechanic of performing a path (psychus on n’zoth) somehow it seems i kept messing up, something i had done flawlessly several times before. On top of that, i’m really not enjoying the “atmosphere”, i’m playing as a chore, on the back of my mind is just “let me get this done”, without much enjoyment.
I’m sure it may be playing to a certain player - raid leader - fantasy to bark orders and have everyone in line, following instructions, but it’s just not my cup of tea.
Now the reason for the post is that i feel i have mostly depleted my chances. I think i reached the point where i’ve cycled around guilds with this consistent attitude towards raiding. Also, guilds who have a different approach, who treat other players like they fellow man, like some other dude, sitting in his chair playing the game they like and that we share a similar interest. Problem is it seems these guilds must have their core set and not really looking into increasing their roster.
So any tips and points on how do i find such a guild? Any red flags i can be on the lookout to know before hand that i’m stepping into yet another ego-trip-circus?
/rant off i guess, thanks for reading.
