When I'm in a more rat...Thank you for your comment. When I'm in a more rational frame of mind, I agree with you completely. When I'm frustrated and all the things listed above, it just seems like a big ol' slap in the face for what I've accomplished. Not the paladin who is doing it, but Blizzard. <BR/><BR/>I do raid and dungeon and the like for the thrill of the doing, not the thrill of the looting. <BR/><BR/>I would like to see the interior of some of the 25 mans I haven't seen.. but on my own terms? <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll just have to come back when I'm 80 with 9 friends or something. :)Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708082019182660608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873243172583418828.post-90060495805174333852008-11-02T02:14:00.000-06:002008-11-02T02:14:00.000-06:00Change your outlook on raiding and you'll see this...Change your outlook on raiding and you'll see this in a whole different light:<BR/><BR/>*You* had lots of fun raiding and beating bosses which were a *challenge*. Along the way you sometimes got some nice gear to help you take down ever harder bosses, but that was a side issue. The main issue was the high you got when yet another boss fell down before you, not easily but after your worked hard at it, proving you were worthy of the title: Raider. The best title Blizzard doesn't hang over your head :)<BR/><BR/>*The new paladin* got a boost in BT for some gear upgrades. *I* went with 9 guildmates to ZA and did a full clear in ~1 hour, including my first ever takedown of Zul'jin (best try pre-patch was ~30%, not bad but we didn't take him back then). The common denominator between your new guild paladin and me - there was no (or little) satisfaction in seeing new bosses downed, except as a tick mark in the achievements window the takedown meant... absolutely nothing.<BR/><BR/>This is why I will never buy a boost in BT or SWP, or buy a T6 char on eBay. The purples might be nice but there will be no sense of accomplishment, no *fun*, associated with getting them. And if you aren't playing this game for fun and if you aren't raiding to be able to take on the hardest content this game can throw at you and show that you can beat it fair and square - why are you playing?SolidStatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872179337759398145noreply@blogger.com
