Claudine, Blood Elf Rogue
Recently my fiance and I decided to make hordies, along with a bunch of our friends. I like being on the Alliance and I still have an unhealthy love for my Draenei (yum) but it’s nice to play on the Horde for a change. One thing I really love is that your playing in totally new areas, exploring new places, doing new quests, learning new stories. It’s really refreshing and its a great change from the common sights of the Alliance.
I could play through Alliance quests now with my eyes closed but with the Horde, everything is completely new, so for me at the moment, being on the horde is great.
There is another reason too though, something much worse.
Lately, I’ve been feeling a lot of tension within the guild we’re in. People aren’t being treated fairly, the rules seem to be changing every raid depending who is playing and I’ve been getting really pissed off with one of the main people in the guild.
My 80 Paladin, Alchion is almost fully epic. I only have one blue item which is a trinket, (see my gear for yourself here.) I’ve been pretty dedicated to the guild, as much as I can be for a casual player. I do all the Naxx normal and 25 man I can, I’ve done the EOE and the OS. I’ve done the heroics and helped people on the quests. I personaly feel I’ve worked really hard, not just for myself, but for the guild too.
The last few times I’ve been to Naxx, my dps has been consistantly 3k or above which is pretty good, I’m doing the very best that I can. However I’m not allowed to go to Ulduar, because my gear isn’t good enough! And my dps isn’t high enough. My gear and dps isn’t good enough? Well excuse me for my one blue, sorry. I guess that makes my gear pretty bad. I’m sorry I don’t have my 4 set Valorous bonus to boost my gear and dps, but actually, it’s only because I’ve been out rolled on it 4 times now.
The part that really pisses me off more then anything else, is that people have taken alternative characters into Ulduar already. Some people have gone into Ulduar already, even though their gear is about the same, or worse then mine. Even though they do the same or less dps as me. It just seems really really unfair. It’s really starting to bother me and actually, I have gotten pretty upset about it. Sad? Maybe, but I’m only human and I have human feelings.
I really just don’t have a clue where I stand anymore. To be honest, I kind of feel like I’m being isolated from the guild, I feel like I’m just not a part of it, or like I’m not allowed to play with ‘the big boys’. I’m not asking to be treated like a Queen, but I don’t want to be treated like a disposable nobody either.
Why can’t I go to Ulduar too? People who are equal to me in gear, dps and ability are allowed to go, but I am not. What is so wrong with me compared to everyone else?
I’ve raised this on the guild forums now. I wonder what they will say?
