Actually, I do feel I was lucky to earn that cloak. Not everyone playing now was playing back then. And I felt lucky we could do the necessary raids in LFR.
It was bad luck that killed my guild, but I’m not going to leave it because loyalty is more important to me than video game rewards. I want to be here if my GM ever comes back.
I’m still working toward my goal of earning enough gold to buy a brutosaur mount. But Blizzard has arbitrarily decided players like me, who work slowly but steadily toward a goal, aren’t worthy of earning such rewards. I won’t have 5 mil gold by the time the MCB is removed from the vendors, but I’m hopeful they might put a plain (no AH) brutosaur mount in its place. So I’m not giving up. Yet.
