My Thoughts & What I Need

[kandrathe]

And, yet reality time, the only Lurkers above my level (that I recall, so sorry if I missed someone) who has offered to help me out when I get stuck have been Leeah, Sabra, and Tal. In 4 months of playing, that was a handful of evenings of help in getting past difficult to solo content. Sabra came to my aid when I first arrived at STV, and Tal helped out when Tris and I had almost greyed out quests for Uldaman. Now I'm nearly ready for Zul and ST, but of course there are few others that are at that level anymore. Much of my post 40 play, up until level 45, was spent earning money to pay back my pony loan. Mirajj is way past ready for Mauradon, and I hear it is going this weekend, and I'm going to try like hell to get ready too. Those of us not yet 60 want to get there, and we are doing it slowly, and surely. Ironically, while this drama unfolded last night, I was on my 5th frustrating attempt at soloing Mogh, the undying envious of those who are lucky enough to run around in a party of five toons.

So rather than be frustrated by the lack of 60's. Look back at the some of us being stuck and frustrated trying to solo elites at <55, and not ready for LBRS, UBRS, and MC runs. Maybe there is something else that can be done? And, I think once we have a regular successful raiding group, we will be attracting more members.

And, then there has been some discussion of alts. I don't want to feel guilty playing them. But, understand that if I had something I could do with Cel, I would be doing that. I don't have many, but the ones I have are there to support my main, a diversion when I'm bored, frustrated or stuck, and are meant offer the guild a diversity of characters in the future. I'm building a def spec warrior, because maybe the main tank wants to go on vacation. I'm building a holy spec priest, because maybe there will be a time when one more is needed. I have to skill up a miner, because alchemy needs more than herbs and I don't have anyone sending me (nor would I expect them to)a steady stream of Mithril and Thorium ore. Anyway to point here is that it might seem to some a frivolity to be playing an alt, but for me that is not the case. It is a designed self sufficient cadre of toons to support my main characters ultimate goals.
