Tank / learning to dps player looking for a positive gaming experience

Maybe this doesnt exist? People look at parses, people look at what class you play, people judge you and don’t know you. Is this what this game has become? Where are all of the teams out there that value the player and not the class? Where are all of the places where you can learn and grow? Where are the places where you can dabble in Mythic…learn who you are as a gamer? This isn’t a business…this is a game.

Who am I you are asking? I am just a positive gamer looking for a home. I love to say good morning, I love to ask people if they need help…I love tanking. I try to dps…but mostly I love the game. I love to feel like I am helping and I want to feel like a person and not # 19 on a raid team. There has to be other people out there like that right? I have 7/8H exp on multiple toons but hopefully that doesn’t matter too much?

I play all the tanks. I currently am in a love affair with a DK and a Pally. I want to be a part of something. I want to matter…I want to make friendships that last.

Sad part is: I can only raid 2 days a week…from 8 est to 11 est. Maybe it’s because my times don’t line up? I just love the game and really want to find that special feeling. (Extra points for a place that doesn’t make me feel like I’m a problem) My name is Jason and I go by Sloth. Lets be friends and lets do great things together. I can even wait until next tier!

The Corrupted Order. Looking for a great group of people to game with? Look no further you have found your new home.

Raiding:

The guild is progressing through heroic currently 7/8 having the boss at 37% P3 and looking for a Mage, DH, Monk and all healers/tanks! Our Prog group heroic times are 9pm EST on Tuesday’s and 10pm EST Friday’s.

Also have spots in our second raid group for individuals looking to get into raiding and looking for a group to start with. While also being able to progress and reach the point to joining the prog heroic team. All teams will be doing heroics. This day is Wednesday 8pm EST until 10:30.

Mythic+:

Currently for the heroic team we are asking individuals to hit their 2k io score as a requirement, you do not have to do this alone! Many individuals including myself are looking to assist individual in climbing mythic+!

Old Content:

Our current Co-GM and GM also have the weekends planned out to do t-mog runs or achievement runs for mounts.

The Corrupted Order is home to anyone and everyone looking to have a great time with our members. Please reach out to Rahiko#1225 for any other information! definitely are looking for tanks on both teams we are doing tank trials

Happy to have a chat with you and see if you want to give a try with us.

Also, parses are not the only thing that matters but when it comes to completing and progressing content it is important for players to pull their weight and show steps towards improvement. I think the reason people get impatient is because many players are unwilling to actually work on improvement and then it drags down the group. That’s also a frustrating position to be in so I can understand both sides a bit.

If I may suggest, the beauty of wow today is they offer an array of play levels to align with different individuals goals. The higher you go, the more things like parses matter if you want to succeed. We all enjoy playing games, but few enjoy getting stuck in the middle of a game and spending the next 6 months trying to defeat one boss. Most guilds care about assembling a group that can help them accomplish a shared goal. If you find a guild that has the same goals as you, then you may have more fun than it sounds like you having. A normal raid guild may align better?

Hey sloth! I think my rag tag group of friends might be what you’re searching for. We do raid 5pm to 7pm which is 8pm EST to 10pm EST on Thursdays and Fridays. However this is changing to Wednesdays and Thursdays in December. While we do look at parses, we are judging people. We look at them, and we help each other improve. We dont bicker at one another and we value spending time together and having fun. We are currently 4/8 Heroic, and we do have a tank spot available!

Meta.man. is ny Discord, reach out if you have any questions!

But maybe I should say I have no problem parsing greens / blues. But without a home I am stuck playing a ton of toons to find a fit. I have multiple AOTCs over 15+ years. 7/8H this tier so I’m not a scrub, but the wow community sure can make you feel like it.

My W/F 6-9PST is looking for a tank … might those days work??

Hey Jason, your post is so relatable! That’s why when I came back to game this expansion from an extended hiatus we re-imagined our guild as casual +. Our goal is simply AOTC and if the team wants to dabble in Mythic we will, but no pressure. We’re more focused on building friendships and having fun in/out of raid. Not sure what days you’re available, but our heroic team runs Thurs and Fri 8-11p est. We also have an optional alt/fun run of normal on Tues. Sounds like you might be a good fit for us.

Here’s our obligatory guild spam:

Hi Jason,

I run a small casual EST Alliance social guild on Proudmoore and we are a social guild that’s more of a community that we have built over the years and we are both new and returning player friendly. Our main thing is we enjoy doing stuff together as a group to help each other out and have fun more than just doing content for the sake of it. We also enjoy helping each other out whether that’s gearing up, running for transmog, or helping with an alt and as a social group we are also pretty much always on our discord when we are on.

Happy to chat more if your interested my battle net is wyvernflame#1720 and my discord is wyvernflame

Hey, Sloth!

Just to reiterate what Trixxie said, we’d love to chat with you and have you be a part of our guild if it feels like the kind of place you want to be a part of. As she said, our raid times might not work for you, but if you just want a place to belong and be a part of, we’d love for you to join us in the game. And if you do find that our times might work for you, or you could make them work, we’d love for you to join us then, as well.

We will be raiding this evening from 6-8:30 PST (9-11:30 EST, 8-10:30 CST); so, feel free to hit us up before those times to hop in and see how we do things. You’re welcome to add either Trixxie or I via battletag. Just be sure to hit us up a bit before the raid so we can get you added to the party!

Hope to talk to you soon!

Again, sorry for the late reply. We cleared up to Queen this evening and are looking to finish her off on Thursday!

Hope to chat with you soon!

Sloth, we are looking for some fresh blood as we cut through the end of season 1 and start looking to season 2. We raid Wed/Thurs 830-1030 server (if you can’t do AOTC in 2 hours 2 nights),. You are wasting time.

ENDEX is 8/8H and starting to dabble in mythic. We run M+ and have people who run low keys and those who push for KSM and are running 12+

If interested, add me, we are casual friendly and love to teach players how to be better in a non toxic environment:

Hey there Sloth!

I can understand your thoughs here, and your frustrations. I run a small, community/friends first driven Horde guild called Echelon.

We have members and players of all different skill levels, and playstyles. It’s a part of our DNA.

TLDR…

I don’t have a tanking position available in our raiding content currently, as we have a great tank line. But, I do very much need a melee DPS player who would be willing to learn the tank progression as well, so that if we have a tank need to not be there for a raid, we have the substitution covered. (This is, of course, just during raid content.) We do use logs, etc for our own betterment, but never as a means of judging the player. We value our people first, and know that we can always get better together.

Outside of raiding, we all play all sorts of different things, and the groups are always glad to have folks who want to tank for mythic+ dungeons, etc.

I understand that what I’m offering may not be exactly what you’re looking for, but it is a place that fits what you are looking for. Here is my post about our guild: [NA] Echelon needs DPS/Heals for HEROIC 5/8 Progression!

My Discord is in there as a means of contact, if you decide this may be the route for you. I hope to hear from you. If not, I wish you the best in your search!
