There are times while playing lately where I'm starting to get burnt out. I have been playing for about half a year now, much less than most of you. Starting my hunter through the endgame material I found a lot of plus' and minus'. PuG's are a very tough option to deal with, most people are out for themselves (which half makes sense) and half the people don't care if they are effective, playing their role, or keeping the group alive as long as they get the item they are want.
I for one have received countless compliments in my PuG groups, as well as received several invites to various other guilds. Saying that as a hunter, I really know how to play the class, manage mobs correctly, and I am a pleasure to have around. I do not however feel the same of about 40% of the people out there. Some people do not converse but do what they need to; some people do not listen at all and try to be a hero or a leader when there is no need; some want to rush which ends up ******** us all.
Just like in BG's now. I have been in several AV where some idiot wants everyone to zerg all the way south and go for Drek. The way we gain honor is by capping bases, killing commanders, taking mines. Maybe they are just after the marks and could care less about honor. A travesty I have noticed even more recently is AB. It has historically been a horde dominated event, recently it has become considerably worse. Many that I joined in the past few days have 9/15 A/H starting out. Horde caps most of the flags, and it is shortly over.
Why are people slacking when joining? Why queue if you aren't going to go?? Its extremely frustrating when I get into a BG and we get 5 capped with allies getting reamed by 15 horde. Even more so that the allies don't seem to care much at all.
All in all, day by day there are times where I feel meh about the game itself, the characters I have. With TBC coming out I plan to make a Draenei Mage. I want a mage very badly, however I also wish to try the new race. Draenei females are cool looking for me, they remind me of the Mithra race in FFXI. Tails, potentially cute ears. Good. I have used WoW as a way to consolidate my spending, and I have put off a lot of things I need to do in order to further my ingame excapades. If TBC is a disappointment I may slow my IG time. I may be revitalized and run to 70 and be along the same road as people who have played for a long time. THAT is quite exciting to me. The fact that I can finally be on a level playing field.
Last night in AV hunters were getting flamed. I took a stand saying that I wasn't slacking; that o needs to pick it up. I was on O for a good 10 minutes until we needed more D. I don't D too often but its equally exciting so I recalled. After being told I wasn't doing my job and getting into a verbal disagreement, I emplored the naysayers to look at the stats. I was second in KB's, 2nd in HK's with over 350, and top in damage with over 300,000. Also a flag cap at a pivital point in the game. I will be uploading a screenshot later tonight to prove my point.
I think the negative players, the people who think they know all, and believe they are ultra uber, take away from my experience. Which also contributes to my meh feeling.
