God I hate being in a WoW guild full of strangers.
Don't get me wrong, there are really nice people in my current guild but the problem is that since you don't know these people in real life they appear to be unpredictable at times.
I come from a hardcore raiding guild and ever since that old guild broke up, people weren't sure what they wanted to do. Some of them wanted to raid again while some, like me, didn't.
As much as I love raiding, it was pretty time consuming. Almost every night I was in front of my computer playing WoW until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. If I wasn't raiding, I was still playing WoW because I had to farm so that I have the gold to spend on mana/health/etc potions and on repairs (plate armour, though very high on armour, is also the most expensive type of armour to repair). Yes it seemed like work but I didn't mind one bit, because I enjoyed what i was doing.
Nowadays, raiding is a chore. I went to raids not because I wanted to, but because I HAD to. I'm one of the few paladins who know how to play the class well, and as a holy spec paladin I'm damn good as a healer. Unfortunately healing is a thankless job, and to be honest I don't know of anyone who loves to heal. People played WoW to kill things, not to heal ungrateful ignoramuses who bitch on why they didnt get heals blah blah.
Besides, there are other things in life that I need to focus on. Like my family. Hardcore raiding only suits single people. I can't do it. I don't want to do it anymore.
