Oozing a vibe, the Dambuster vibe.

/wave

Hello all,

After Fridai’s raid last night (thank you for organizing the Achievement raid, it went very well!) I had a a few people whispering me about our awesomeness! And no, I’m not referring to our flex-boost sale (haha) but the vibe we apparently have. And I’m about to tell you a little bit more about it!

When I stopped playing Warcraft I, II, III and the expansion set I was reluctant to join the MASSIVE online role player game World of Warcraft for all sorts of reason’s! I was a shy and introvert person and I was scared to death of all these people online with their judgmental attitudes and big mouths. For good reason it turned out as when I started raiding (that’s where I met Edacious) I was a giant Tauren Shaman healer with a lot of questions and not a lot of answers.

In short raiding petrified me because of how people communicated, being called a fucking bitch by people half my age for mistakes that (I know now) any rookie would make left a damaged and crooked imprint in the back of my mind. That nagging little voice telling me I couldn’t even play a children’s game. That feeling of failure every time you cast a spell and the constant waiting for yet another one of those rants over really not a lot.

Would I have been a confident person with a lot of self esteem and a outgoing personality then yes, I would have received the game and it’s players in a completely different way. But I wasn’t. And my first impressions weren’t good.

After 2 years on Bloodfeather, the server where I started, became an abandoned server so I joined Grim Batol, taking Edacious with me, who by then was my mate 😉 We joined the guild Up and Away because a IRL friend played there, who left after a month of us server transferring…

On the 17th July 2014 we will have been on Grim Batol for 4 years and have guild-hopped from Up and Away to Usurper of Misery, then Conspiracy who turned into Rebels in control after a hostile take-over who then changed in to Ascension. After a main player in that guild told me how horny he was (slightly inappropriate!) we decided it was time for another guild change and we went to Fracture, Showcase and finally joined the Dambusters.

Now I’m not telling you that the wow community is horrible and that people are suffering abuse and we need to change the world.
But it is.
And we are.

Yesterday after the run somebody thought I was the GM for Dambusters (hahaha) and I got whispered by a warrior called Simistrobase, a random player I picked up from trade chat and invited to the achievement run. He was so impressed with the warm welcome we gave him (despite his low item level, dps output and missing gems and enchants) that he wanted to join the guild.

I also got a whisper from Yazquin, the Guild Leader from the guild Vindication. And what he had to say was actually quite heart warming and I thought I would share it with you all 🙂

For what it’s worth; I’m proud of you guys 🙂
