So much time, so few players

So we had all the time in the world this weekend to knock down Prof. Putricide. We did our amazing clear on Tuesday and a few willing souls logged on for the raid on Friday hoping to be battered to a pulp a few times by the evil scientist. Well, the world was against us and we ended up not having enough for the 10 man. I didn’t even set foot in Icecrown this weekend. Special shout outs to McLovin, Heiliger, Dash, Danewort, Kliz, and Darth (shoot I’m missing one! Rekk, was that you with the dangely things?) for hanging in there. We ended up finishing out the ToC 10 that we started. It was our second time all the way to the end, and a few of the people hadn’t been with us the first time we ganked the Big Beetle Boss. So that was fun, I really do like that raid. Did you know what too? If you’re on the sandbox tiger when the floor breaks you fall while still playing quietly and land safely on the ground, still on the sandbox tiger. There was also quite a bit of rock throwing and Zeplin running.

So on Saturday, we didn’t raid either. A few of us ran a random, there was bag clearing, auction house buying things, profession doing, but no raiding. Well, that was until the boys transfered to Starcraft II and Jane went back to Dalaran to logg off and I saw in Trade:

[/5: Trade] LFG VoA, dps or heals
[/5: Trade] LFM, need tank and heals VoA 25
[/5: Trade] DPS shamman GS 5.4k LF group VoA 10/25

Yeah that’s right, the alliance finally got a hold of WG and there were people looking for a group, a raid, more, a chance to get some gear! I couldn’t believe it. So I look at Danewort, and think, ok. I’ve got time, sure. I adverstised my healing talents (Heals LFG VoA 10/25) and boom I’m in a group. About 2 minutes later the group leader says that there is another group closer to going and that he’d give them our names. No invite. No biggie, I’m at the dungeon by now, there are plenty of people around and I throw it out in general. Now, I don’t think I’m fantablous at heals but I can hold my own and I do have ICC and tier 10 gear, I’m not too shabby. Well, let me just say that I felt like the booger 4-eyes that sits on the dirt edge of the field waiting and being the last one picked for kickball. No wonder rading and pugging gets such bad rep. The group I was with were generally nice, some more so then others, and we did get the big boss down but most people left when the leader suggested we go do another boss. The ones that were complaining about the tanking were the dps that just sat in the fire, and the healing help was a little sparce (though they did try). Gosh I’m spoiled.

Moral of that Storytime with Jane: THANK YOU TEAM VENTURE FOR BEING SO AWESOME! I LOVE PLAYING WITH YOU ALL.

    Malygos! We did get Malygos and a few people got their Champion of the Frozen wastes title. Man that last phase where you're on dragons is the bane of our existance. We did pug a few people in for that one and they were nice, stuck with us after a two deaths, but we totally got it. Go TEAM!

    I don't think I've seen a group go past Toravon in a while so no surprise there...

    It is soooo sad, I am forgotten. Sitting at home staring at the blue screen of death on my computer. Sitting their thinking about Team Venture; all the witty comments, all the camaraderie, all the battles. Oh to be there sharing the good times, standing next to that little gnome in the back firing off arrows or the great times standing toe to toe with the tank (my big hairy butt hanging out there) or the awesome times standing with my Tree Sister, throw'in out those heals..... ah the good times. But alas I sit staring at the empty screen, no sounds of "Go Team Venture" ringing in my silent headphones..... and now to see that I was not missed, just a body to fill that empty 10th space..... the pain fills my chest as my heart turns cold and frozen. Maybe Arthis was right .... maybe Vomander has a little love to give.....

    Ok, I must say, in my writing this update, I was more outraged at the inhumanity of the wow world outside the guid and now realize that I contribute to it! I am ashamed that there was no Tree shaking to the awesomest Druid ever. GO TEAM VENTURE! To Ditty (though a little late). We are happy that you are up and running again, because no one can tank, heal, or dps like you can! You truely are a swiss army knife player and we couldn't do much of what we do (goof around and have fun?) Without you! DON"T, please, don't, go to the V-word....
