Last night we started late, because it was scheduled at 8:45, and didn’t pull until around 9:15. Since we end at 11, this seems to late for me, but whatever. Because of this we tried heroic Maloriak twice, then did it on normal, then tried Heroic Atramedes twice, then the pug paladin (Ladegaga) logged and we called it around 11.

Maloriak dropped the Jar of Ancient Remedies which is the first time I’ve seen it, and I’m still crabby about needing to use a roll system, with pugs in the group. Not seeing an item for like 5 months and maybe losing it to a pug, is dumb. They said it’s not that good but I wanted to try it over my Mandala of Stirring Patterns. I should get a DMC Tsunami but, well, maybe later.

My earlier crabbiness about raids is mostly tied to the premise that, I don’t want my game time wasted. If we’re not doing Cho’gall, Alakir, Nefarion, and not trying heroics, I don’t want to raid any more. I’ve done normals for months, I don’t want to do them any more. And taking an hour or more to form up, where I am forced to sit in raid, and not do dailies, is just wasting my free time. But I’ve decided if the RL won’t call it, I’ll just call it for myself. If we aren’t pulling by 30 mins after the starting time, I’m gonna log and do something else.

When I logged in tonight Jan wanted to put together a BWD group, and I said I’d go with Alex went, and he said he’d go if I went. So off we went! We cleared it up to Nef fast with no real issues, other than me noting that Myni joined guild 6 days ago and already quit and joined another. He also did not heal through most of the trash. But anyway I think the only time we wiped was on Atramedes when everyone was all over the place rather than in one spot for ranged. Nothing I wanted dropped. I’m pretty sure Maloriak never drops that Jar of Ancient Remedies any more.

Last night we tried Nefarion but with too many issues to note. Basically we spent probably an hour trying to get the group together total, swapped out at least 3 players, died 1-2 minutes into the fight and only hit 2nd phase a few times at which point we instantly wiped. Out of at least 10 attempts we made zero progress, and I declined this weeks raids because I’m tired of doing the same thing over and over, with random people most of the time, and failing so much.
