Moved to alliance and server to be in mythic guild. Now I might not be on their team

What motivates me: EXPERIENCE. Not gear. Not some arbitrary “item level” score or raider io score. Not “prestige”. I came to WoW to get experiences and memories.

I needed to say that before I move on. I do not care about item level, it’s something that has an expiration date and will be meaningless in a few months.

I was originally setting up on a very popular Horde server to play my characters. Then someone I knew IRL contacted me and I was new and then I moved over to their server.

They promised things like to help me out with my mythic clears (this week they did them with others) and then to also get me into their mythic raid group.

I accepted that I would be ranged DPS not a healer for this, which to me is pretty painful since I did come to this game to first and foremost heal-- and ranged DPS really seems boring to me.

But what matters to me is not gear and instead experiences. So being given the chance to experience mythic raiding truly meant a lot to me. I wanted to do it. And I’ve raided “hardcore” in other games, so I knew what I was getting into and the time commitment.

Now my RL friend who contacted me and invited me to their guild under the idea I’d be helped through mythic dungeons as well as taken into their raid group has let me know that there are over 60 people vying for mythic raid spots.

I know there are only 20 people getting in.

Facts are I don’t think with where I am at as a newer player, in spite of all the effort, that I could beat literally over 40 other people to get in. That’s absolute madness.

My friend told me I can go to heroic raids on Wednesday.

But the problem is I moved servers for other than heroic raids. Heroic raids aren’t something I am interested in in the first place.

And then this week he did his mythic lockouts with other people instead of me.

Meaning that I’m going to need to PUG (on alliance that is much less populated than Horde by a massive insanely huge margin) mythic dungeons. At least for this week for sure.

Joy…

And that now I have no mythic guild.

Should I just give up and just go back Horde? I am really really demoralized.

At least on Horde there are tons of players and I am likely to have an easier time getting groups. That and Vulpera are super cute.

Sounds like there would be enough people to make two more raid teams. But tbh your first mistake was trusting someone. Second was settling for a spot you didn’t want to play (dps over healer) 3rd is thinking youre stuck. If people are flaky, find better people. Search for what you want and get it.

Yeah. If there’s at least 60 people applying for roles why can’t they have a few raid groups going?

Well apparently there will be 2. But idk the details honestly sadly. I’m no officer and I am not really smart on these kinds of things and don’t pretend to be. ><

But even then that’d be 30 and 30 meaning 2 separate groups and I’d still need to beat 10 others.

Don’t be sad. What you should propose is all the “good” players be in the main raid. And then have the rest in a more casual fun raid group. And then join that group and just have a good time. :wink:

TL’DR: Preheàt made another clickbait thread for the day.

So…go show em what you got and earn your spot. You can do it.

Use that guild to get heroic gear, which is a stepping stone to Mythic anyway, and if it doesn’t look like they are going to let you in, look for a guild that has a spot for you.

I hope it works out for you, getting screwed over by other players is never a good time.

Shhh don’t say that name. You might get sued.

Go back horde dude, you wanted to heal and your “friend” turned his back on you.

11

Sounds like you guys aren’t really friends.

12

Oh crap, I hope that guy from Limit isn’t browsing the forums today.

It’s just that the OP stopped posting on Evyx but still occasionally posts on his Preheàt character, so…

Sounds to me like you put a lot of faith in this friend of yours–I did the very same myself back in Wrath of the Lich King, and in the end, I got burned for it. It was not a fun or pleasant experience, in the end; Fun for a short while, but ultimately, it all burned down.

That being said, I think, maybe, you might have jumped the gun a small bit. You could have possibly waited and got in to other Mythic dungeon groups within the Guild, or pugged outside of the Guild–there’s zero fault there. I understand maybe you want to do it all with your friend, but that sounds highly unrealistic to me and you should probably not expect to be able to do every amount of content all the time with one specific person.

That being said, I can understand being upset at being promised this-or-that by somebody you know and trust to that degree, only to be later turned around upon and told something else entirely (like your raid spot is up for you to fight for, when instead it was promised to you). That being said, it makes sense for a Raid spot to be challenge-able; So if you didn’t make the ‘cut’ this time, then you might later down the road. Up your gear, work on your rotations, ask to be allowed in to a Mythic dungeon group with some of the core raiders as a sort of ‘trial’ for a higher raiding tier group, so-on-and-so-forth.

There’s probably more to say, but I think in the end, you had a little bit of unexpected expectations, and maybe you jumped the gun a little bit by leaving, so i’ll just leave it at that.

Ultimately though, the decisions are all up to you. If you feel it would be better going back to the Horde, by all means man/woman/lgbt.

On a serious note, his friend is doing the right thing.

If someone is offered/guaranteed a spot for mythic progression solely because they are a RL friend of a core member, they are doing a disservice to the other 18 people in the team.

Edit to add - The RL friend shouldn’t have said stuff prior that would give his friend fake hopes to make him decide to server X’fer.

Go back horde since that’s what it looks like you want. The only issue on Alliance is finding a Guild you like, since I doubt you’d have much issue M+ wise with how that works.

Really think you are over thinking it.

But ya, looks like you like Horde a bit more so go there. It’s a game, do what you know will bring you enjoyment.
