Hello fellow adventurers,
I am Droggnar, a semi-casual 19-year veteran to wow. I primarily play Enhancement Shaman (when it’s not D tier for the whole season - looking at you season one SL). I have raided extensively over the years and have been with teams that achieved AOTC every tier since the launch of WOD and KSM/H for the last few expansions since that’s been a thing. The teams I have been on also usually progress through a few mythic bosses before the end of each tier, 2/8M S1 (as a Rogue) 4/9M S2 and 6/9M S3 respectively in Dragonflight. I enjoy running keys, raiding, collecting mounts, and transmog (which is the true endgame fyi). I have a strong sense of humor and believe this game is meant to be enjoyed and often taken too seriously. This strong internal compass has at times directed me away from more competitive groups.
Why am I looking for ‘a’ guild? You might ask - well to be blunt I am not. What I am doing though is searching for “the right” guild (if such a thing exists). With all of the years I have spent socially investing in groups in this game, I have come to value both the giving and receiving of the investment of time spent. Let me refine this; younger me would put up with toxic drama, cliques that spend most of their time running only within their group or pug outside the roster entirely and other B/S as long as the bosses where dyeing and the glory heaped upon the guild banner made us competitive with other guilds on our server. Maturity has relieved me of wanting to be around (or apart) of those things. Don’t get me wrong, I have been in some good groups and with great people in them. There are times ‘I’ was the issue and I do enjoy being competitive. If the right group comes together and has fun all kinds of things can be possible (looking at you 9/12M Ny’alotha) But ultimately my search continues for the right community.
I am looking for a social community that also occasionally accomplishes things and not one that hangs on every raid parse or eats, sleeps, and breathes Warcraft logs. Those things have their place, but they tend to get either overused or incorrectly used. Preferably a group that gets AOTC and then does a little Mythic to round out the season. But mostly just down to earth human beings that have the capacity to enjoy the game, laugh at the goofy mistakes, and keep going without losing spirit. Because as nice as it is to have goals, the fun however is in the journey itself. I don’t have any expectation of just walking onto someone’s raid roster or showing up and pretending to deserve XYZ spot. For me it’s way more relaxed and unassuming. I would much rather just be part of a group and let my performance knowledge and skills determine where I fit within the group or roster.
I play most weekdays and some weekends from around 1900 CST (1700 server) to around 2300 CST (2100 server). Season 4 is a little bit of a slow starter for me, I split most of my time between playing my Shaman and re-learning how to fire mage. Like most people I play a lot when stuff is happening and not so much when stuff isn’t. For me is Family> Work > WoW so my availability is always subject to change but in all my years of raiding I have probably only missed a handful of raids. As you would expect I am a person so full disclosure; I am not always hearts and stars and rainbows (but wouldn’t that be nice?). I do dumb stuff at times, and I will usually be the first to make fun of myself about it. I do have a couple pretty strong pet peeves. But nothing you wouldn’t expect from someone who has been around as long as I have.
If I sound like the kind of experienced person you would want to have hanging around your roster give me a shout.
