Well I finally got it. The straw that broke the camel's back. One too many nights where the GM lost his temper and drove away yet another person in the guild that I liked. This meaning that of the few officers remaining, only me and another girl as unhappy as I are not personal RL friends of the GM. I think that says something right there. Everyone else quits the game, changes servers, or just changes guilds after being around this guy for too long. Last Tuesday he lost his temper during a freaking Vanilla Wow raid that wasn't going well because no one knew the fight(even Mr GM himself!) and there were several rookies who had problems with their roles, my husband included. So I talked to my GM's right hand man, who had NOTHING to say when I said I was tired of The Royal Temper, and quit. I was in this guild for a year and a half, nearly the entire time I have played Wow, and have been an officer since I turned 80 in March. It was hard, but hard like dumping an old boy friend who has lost his charm but you're so used to you can't imagine starting over. I immediately got invited into one of the top raiding guilds that is currently being led by an old friend(incidently, my FIRST ever GM... that guild disbanded when real life demands took him away from the game for a few months).
The real clincher? My former Gm finally gets on two days later and predicatbly whispers and asks what the problem was. Since I was hoping to keep in touch with a couple former guildlies I liked I decided NOT to fight with the guy and just said that because of tempers being lost on Tuesday I was done. His response was "this shows what kind of person you are" (um... one that finally grew a spine after all this time?) and "you were even on my long term target so it's a good thing you quit," which makes him a complete hyprocrit since he was telling me otherwise a week ago. Yes, as an officer talking to the GM and not just his right hand man would have been kind, I did not because whether I did so or not I would have gotten a response of an angry five year old and I am seriously done tolerating it. He then whispered my husband, who was STILL in that guild, and told him " you seriously think I'd let you stay in the guild after your wife pulled the biggest bullshit ever?" and booted him. My husband replied that he thought I showed common sense. Which is when he whispered my new Gm and got an invite. lol
DRAMA! I have no regrets, but I do have a really big headache over this and look forward to time passing and memories fading.
my hubs just left a week ago and switched servers /cry i was upset he did it but i understand why he was tried of pple telling him he was a crappy tank and he couldnt keep aggro (he is a warrior) the only TRUE par t was he couldnt keep aggro but it didnt help when 70% of the 10 man was overgeared and were always taking aggro off of him so he just decided it would be best to leave guild and switch back to our old server but i am NOT following....i am an officer of my guild and i have too many friends i think they only way i would leave is fi the guild disbanded and if everyone hated me lol which both arent going to happen we are one of the most respected guilds on the server even though we havent cleared Ulduar and downed Ony as a guild we are respected because we are good pple and we raid really late LOL but its weird not being able to play with hubs...but we made a deal if he doesnt play his DK on the weekends and breaks that promise he has to move all his toons back over haha in some ways i am hopin he breaks the promise lol
ty to Chrizeu @ MMO Champ for the awesome siggy :p
What an @sshole. I'm glad you left. I can't stand drama guilds. I was apart of one for a while and I really don't want to be apart of one again. We pay money for this game and then we get stressed out b/c some people like to have dramam in thier lives.
Good for you and sorry about the douche for booting your hubby but it sounds like u guys will be better off in the new guild.
We are a Homeschooling loving, Non-vaccinate, Christ centered, Organic, Homeopathic, Breastfeeding, Pro-Life, Scrapbooking, Wow Playing Family. This is our choice and we love it.
For all of its proven PUBLIC health benefits, breastfeeding is a PERSONAL DECISION -- shooting your kid full of toxins, though, is a "social responsibility."
For 2000 years doctors looked at the world through the filter (belief) that 'bleeding was therapeutic'. Not until the general education of the public lead people to rebel against this mistake was it corrected. Today many look at the world through the belief that 'vaccines work'.

I agree with you, we pay too much to play... and spend a crap load of time on this game, it should be fun. That's what I always tell my husband.
I've had a terrible time with guilds lately.
I thought I finally found one for my paladin but last weekend the highest geared players left the guild to form a "serious" raiding guild. I'm not the best geared player or even the best skilled player so I didn't even consider going with them. But when they left, the other guild members wanted to keep on raiding and taking undergeared and underexperienced players into Ulduar was not a good idea. Wipe city.
I'm still staying with this guild just because I'm tired of leaving guilds! Last night I actually did TOTC 10 with my hunter's guild. I parked her in there after my first guild disbanded and they didn't even know who I was. They were giving out guild vent info and I already had it, surprising the GM. LOL
I'm kind of stuck in a rut right now. I don't have any more gear to buy from running heroics, but I don't have a guild to take to get better gear. Several of my "friends" have transferred off server or gone horde.My former GM says that all the guilds on the horde side raid, while our side of the server is stagnated. I think I'm just going to stay put for now and ride it out. It just seems like everyone is in a state of limbo these days.
