Declaring Independence
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2013 12:59 am
Been sitting on this for a few days thinking on what this game means to me and why I see the need to spend over $400 this year on it.. I have came to this understanding:
After spending time with some really cool players talking about the topics and events I do, they helped me to decide a few things.
Why I play, a few years ago I was dealing with some really bad things in my life, still dealing with the lose of my Daughter, and coping with my Father dealing with pancreatic cancer to name a few so I took in to a game and befriended some really smart players, they helped me pull away from some of the darkest days, after some time it all had to end.
Now I am back and I see most of my old friends are still around mostly in Prime and some of them are gone, I miss the old days of just having fun farming poinless areas helping people at random, back then it was our game.
Now I sit here and ponder why am I following orders to just stay on my main toon and nothing else, is this "there" game or is it mine?
Yes I understand you got burnt, you put time, effort, givin free gear to key players and they left you.. It hurts, it burns you out and so on..
I didnt ask for you to help me with anything nor Did I ask you for any item, and because of your high and mighty attitude I will never ask for your help, If people want me in the group they will invite me, if they want my help they can ask but I will not lean on any of you for gear, level or time. I just dont need to be put in your line of sight again. Just because your burnt out dont mean I need to be where your at just because your pissed off all the time.
Now I will work with others in group helping them to level while there on pots, I will also give drops as directed to do so at the start of my joining but I will not just stay on one toon, I have a few toons that are lower levels, I help others on how to run as a team, help them complete quest with out handing it to them just by jumping on my warrior and doing all the work for them.
Further more I will be spending time on the give away events, its my money / gold and I will do what I want with it, and that means getting on Merlin to host it.
What will not happen is I will not stay in groups durning boss fights, I will find a boss, make the call, wait for people to join and then wait for the fight to start then bail out of the fight and help burn the boss down, God forbid that Some level 150 player carry my low level but through a boss fight that in no way I can do alone. You can keep your drops and I can still be a usefull and suitable member of Prime if not then au revoir!
This post is not inteneded to hurt anyones fealings even tho you didnt give a crap how I felt when you guys started to bash me in clan chat. Nor is it to start others childish spam postings of off topic posts, its more or less a self resolve and a self therapeutic answer to what I am going to do with my entertainment time on CH.
