Hey everyone. I've been thinking about jumping back into World of Warcraft again as I will have more time to play games over the summer and wondered if there is anyone looking for an 85 Dwarf holy paladin for end-game. I also have an 85 Dranei, elemental shaman, but prefer to play my paladin. I saw that the Bomb Squad has a horde guild, but I don't want to spend the extra cash on faction/server changes just yet. Let me know!
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Dec 07, 2010
Cataclysm is the third expansion pack to World of Warcraft. This expansion revamped and changed much of the original world content in addition to providing new areas, dungeons, and playable races.
Retired player w/ 85 dwarf pally looking to get back into raids
We in the bomb squad would love to have yah but like you said we are a horde guild. You could always make a toon on our server and see if you like us. :p
Good luck.
I think you'd probably have more luck if you just jumped into trade chat on your server.
That being said, best of luck to you.

I think I'm just feeling nostalgic over my first raiding guild from The Burning Crusade. I loved those guys and I want that feeling again. I never met most of them in real life but damnit, I loved raiding with them.

Felt very good.
Beyond that tho, WoW's dead as fuck to me, silly community still failing.

Note: I quit WoW after playing a little into Cataclysm. My love for the game stands tall, unlike everyone who falls into the prescribed hate for it when they leave. I left due to time constraints, because casual or not, the game does still take a load of time to really enjoy.
@TaliciaDragonsong: So you loved getting back into the game, but you didn't like the other players?
@blueduck: I stopped playing in WotLK because the atmosphere was far too different and I didn't like the changes that were made to paladins and shamans. That being said, I did really enjoy doing random heroics in Cataclysm as my holy paladin (my favorite toon) and want more of that.
" @csoup: Didn't mean to send this as a PM. What do you mean by "playing in Cataclysm isn't going to shy away from them."?Sorry, my word play sucks when im tired :P I mean't that wishing to relive your Burning Crusade dreams in Cataclysm is completely doable. There are a lot of "old vets" and such that will tell you that Cataclysm is breaking WoW due to its ease, but I found a properly geared raid will find the challenges that WoW put forth for them to be what they should be. Too many people start to whine when a dungeon gets easier as they gear up, WHICH IS THE POINT.

" @blueduck said:Nope, my friends (IRL friends) started a 10man and we raided about 2hours 2-3 nights a week and killed it all, the difference is we knew how to play our classes." @TaliciaDragonsong said:That is just a ridiculous accusation.

The heroics are fun to heal (I played a holy priest) but if your a half decent player (if you raided in BC I would guess you are) you'll be tried of all the content within a month and a half.

" @michaelfossbakk said:I didn't see that many people at all complaining about ease in Cata (WOTLK hell yes that was a joke) and honestly the raids and heroics were great my problem comes from the fact that people who raid are way better at the game then before so average players clear content way faster and yet they release content slower." @csoup: Didn't mean to send this as a PM.

Ya, I loved leveling, I loved instances and battlegrounds, I enjoyed it all.
Then I started doing instances and battlegrounds on 85 and got hit by the stupidity train again.
The last week has been nothing but know it all's, egoistic players, rushers, afk'ers, the worst of the worst.
So I rerolled another alt!
Long as I don't get bored of that, the game's lore/quests/lower level experience is still worth it for me.
I never saw WoW as beginning on 85, on most of my characters I saw it as an ending, so much crap about nothing, ugh.
Oh sure, whenever someone in instances deserves a kick for being afk or whatever these things happen:" @TaliciaDragonsong: Well PvP was never my thing, but I can deal with afkers by voting to kick them. Sure I have to wait for a replacement, but oh well. Life isn't perfect. "
1) You cannot kick this player for another 2hr message...no clue why, happens all the time.
2) You cannot kick during or shortly after combat...and since people chainpull and rush like fuck, there's rarely moments like these besides after bosses but that leads us to
3) You cannot kick a person during loot rolls....and since he's afk the loot timers slowly tick to zero, add in any green drops that pop too with him not reacting on it...that's non stop timers going on.
4) You manage to get the process going and the other 3 people somehow refuse/ignore the request/go mental on you for holding up the dungeon run.
No thanks, I'm done with people, the system is too easily avoided and I can have my instant dungeon queues with my cousin healing and myself tanking, dps is expendable.
Either that or solo questing, but I prefer Lord of the Rings Online for that, which is free.
WoW bores me every few months.
