History of my WOW guilds

ME: yes i'm a super casual in a hardcore raiding guild

How did that happen? at one point i had a lot of friends who were hard core raiders from the previous guild and I made friends with another raider so when they all ended up in one raid guild it was only natural that I want to join them. So with high up friends I got invited in as a friends only status with no intention to raid. Lol top it off one of my friends is good friends with the GM so there you go. connections.

Later on those friends disappeared from wow but I've established myself as a friendly casual player who is a very good healer so am not likely to get a gkick because my friends are no longer wowing. I have a reputation for being able to get groups going for just about anything.


Druid 80 (server #1): guilded since level 35 for 2 years until it disbanded then I stayed unguilded until I was ready to level and then asked friends of mine who were in a raiding guild if I could apply and join them there as a nonraider. I enjoy my solo time so this is perfect the guild raids and I log on whenever to do whatever and say hi when I log in.

Guild #1: 2 years became a raider then promoted to class lead, then took a 9 month break as guild rerolled on horde side on another server. I refused to follow as I was hurt that we're leaving and I wasn't notified earlier. it was annouced during a guild meeting.

Guild #2 1 year to date as my friends from guild #1 joined raiding guild here to raid and I being thier friend who they enjoy chatting with got the invite here.


Priest 80 (server #2) I rolled hordeside to join my family/friends there for the ocassional group. Guild is an RP guild so definetly different from a raid guild. I'm a super light RPer in a heavy RP guild so for the most part I do my own thing and ocassionally join them for an old instance. They're too RPish for me but I enjoy the cuss free gchat, no leet speak and no locker room talk so that's why I'm here a protected gchat. Instancing .. good lord people in RP guilds aren't geared or as skilled and have more random afks than raid guilds. I'm a hardcore player in an RP guild so I dont take guildies on my runs as they tend to be undergeared and dont know thier class. For them its no big deal to do a wipefest group so long as its with friends and guildies. Uh no thats a waste of time in my book as the only person I would take to an instance regardless of gear is my RL friend/families but then I'd make up the difference with 2 other overly geared dps. RP guilds wouldn't understand my views so I dont bother telling em I just quietly whisper half the server to fill my groups than to annouce it in gchat. If i take a guildie he has to be geared, specced, and of leveled. Should this guildie suck in his role that's that last time he's coming on my runs. And if more guildies fit this profile I dont take any of them and wont' heal in thier "guild only runs" As of right now I avoid guild only runs like the plague because these tend to run long, wipe more than pugs, and have long AFKs. I play to get geared in my very limited wow time and otherwise have quality wow time.

Priest 80/Warlock 63 (server #3) I finally was ready to rejoin old friends from server #1 as they are one of the most mature and nice people i've know. not that I took a year to join them I kept in contact since level 1 day 1 of their reroll I just didn't see it as my priority to level to 80 any time soon and would 2 box a 2nd acct to keep in touch. thing was that I am very bad at mutltitasking so would forget that was afked on the other server too. Any how the GM was nice enough to suggest to ask me to join thier alt group leveling once a week so thats how i got to 80 it took oh about a year. I enjoy the random raids and weekly heroics with the same bunch of people so its nice and very hard to burn out with once a week wow.
