I am doing my best to not be frustrated.

My gnomelock just hit 75 this morning, thanks to daily quests and finishing up the Coldarra in Borean Tundra. (Do your dailies, they do add up!)

However, a large portion of my guild mates have their mains at, or very close, to 80. My guild has stated that we won’t be “officially” raiding until probably January. And in the past they have proven they know life happens, and are okay with folks being absent because of work/school/life/etc.

But even tho folks haven’t said anything … there’s this invisible pressure of “why aren’t you 80 yet?” Can’t do heroics. Can’t do Naxx (and the drama that’s causing is another post all together, oy.) Probably can’t get an equivalent-level guild group together to do instances with.

I am not regretting taking my time working through these lovely, awesome zones. I am not putting WoW ahead of school, since we’re in the last two weeks before finals.

But if I keep getting annoyed at the list of 20+ guildies at 80 (on what has traditionally been a non-raid night…) then I may just not log onto my main toons for more than dailies until school is over.

When everytime I log on theres this sense of how behind I am in level and gear and tradeskills that I have to put aside to have fun…

Okay, so, emo bullshit aside:

  • Dailies are a great source of XP, since most of them give you 20K a pop.
  • I need more frostweave cloth, both for Tailoring and First Aid (yes, even with the “extra” cloth drops i’m supposedly getting)
  • It was rather fun “dueling” my paladin friend for the achievement, tho he most likely would have kicked my butt if we’d done it for real.
  • The Felguard is a decent leveling pet, but same as with all pets, he gets in the way of looting, seeing, and there are times i wish i could shrink him.
  • Man, I just killed an NPC who was secretly a double agent and working agasint the evil. Blizz is throwing a lot of moral twists like that at us with this expansion. It certainly gives you more of an emotional involement in the game, even it it’s more of an “Oh crap i just did WHAT?” thing. I’ve had several of those lately.
  • the new Wyrm model is gorgeous. And I hate snakes.
  • I should be studying for my math test tomorrow but my brain is tapped out.

Meh, that’s enough for now ^_^
