My biggest problem with WoW is that I get bored too easily. Or at least, that's how it's been since Wrath of the Lich King came out. I'm not sure if it didn't happen during Burning Crusade, or if I just sucked at leveling and didn't want to do it again, so I stuck to my warlock. It took me a year to level her to 70, so I'm guessing it was the latter. It didn't bother me to run H Bot every single day. In fact, I loved it. Vare tanked, Nia healed, and Loihi dpsed. And then we'd scrounge up whatever two other dps we could find. Every day. But that was then.
This is now. I have four 80s. I honestly can't remember what was going through my head at the beginning of WotLK, but I can only guess that I was bored even then. Toward the end of BC, Josh and I did refer a friend. We both leveled mages, which we never did anything with. Mine is 68 and his is 70 something. But I granted the levels to a 30-something shaman I had and got her to 58. I hit Outland as hard as I could, and I hit 68 the day WotLK came out. Rather than leveling my precious warlock to 80, I decided to level my shaman, while Josh leveled his warlock. Then, as soon as we hit 80, instead of getting geared to raid with our guild (KoT), I leveled my warlock, and Josh leveled his warrior. Some things went down in KoT, and we stupidly left. Shortly thereafter, we left the server and went to play horde with a real life friend. We put our hearts and souls into those characters and into the guild that we formed, and then we got burned by everyone we thought was our friend. So we took a break from WoW. When we came back, we came back to The Scryers and did refer a friend again. This time I leveled a paladin because that's what I'd been playing horde-side, and I loved it so much.
I started to get Lumey (my new paladin) geared, and I was having a blast. We tried to start another guild, thinking we could do what we had done on Scilla. But apparently we forgot how ridiculous The Scryers was, and that didn't work out at all. Once Lumey got all the 232 badge gear, I started trying to gear Adelaide (my shaman) a little bit. I had leveled enhancement and then had only played resto at 80, but for some reason I decided to change my dps spec to elemental. I knew nothing about it, but it seemed easy. Then I got invited back to KoT on that character, so she suddenly became my main, and started getting gear. But there are so many caster shamans in the guild, and it turns out ele is not easy, so I started trying to get her enhance gear. She's doing pretty damn well with that. I have just a few more pieces to get, but most of the pieces I have are from ICC because we really don't have another enhance shammy, so I get lots of offspec stuff. Then I realized that I have a paladin, and the guild is in serious need of holy paladins. I hate pally healing more than anything in the game, but I was willing to do it for my guild. So I started running the ICC 5 mans and saving badges to try to get my paladin geared up holy. Then I started playing Loihi again, trying to get her geared so she could get into ICC10. I took her last week and will take her again tonight. And then this week I took a deep breath and went back to Scilla. It's been just about a year since our guild disaster, and going back wasn't nearly as bad as it has been the other times I've tried. I've gotten 3 pieces of t9 for her, and she's boosting that gear score pretty quickly.
And I also started leveling a warrior fairly recently. But she's prot, and she's 53...so she's stuck in the BRD bracket, and BRD just sucks, so I kind of gave up on that.
What the hell am I doing?! Trying to gear four characters at once?! Granted, I don't have a job or school right now, so it's not like I have anything better to do. But it's going to burn me out, and fast. But I just can't decide what I want to do. As soon as I get someone almost geared, I get bored and move onto another character.
And truth be told, I'm getting bored with ICC even though I've only been raiding for about three months. I don't know how the people who have been there since the raid opened can do it. I really don't.
I really didn't mean for there to be so much history in this post, but oh well.
