I hope to hell Uda is older than I am!

Rosa, I'm so excited you returned to the guild.  I've heard more than one officer say the same thing.  So I hope you don't think that you're not appreciated and, dare I say loved, 'cuz you are.  You've always been fun to group with.  I've enjoyed our chats and your in-game messages, as well as your playing style.

As others have noted with regard to themselves, I've been left out at times too.  The first time it happened may have been my fault 'cuz it was my first time trying to raid with the guild.  I logged in at the right time but the raid was already formed - I had no idea yet I was supposed to be online early.  I was FURIOUS, hurt and upset.  I felt in much the same way as you're saying.  I also felt my feelings were kind of childish too, 'cuz I had nobody to blame buy myself.  But I wanted to blame someone so badly!  I started an alt that day... lol  Really strange feelings, over a silly computer game.  I didn't want to feel the way I did, but I couldn't let it go right away.  I needed a little time to come back down to Earth.

Rather than rambling on about a few other times I felt out of sorts over something that happened, I'll leave it at that.  We're all a group hoping to have fun with others in a game we enjoy.  There are others who understand your feelings and I daresay I'm one of them.  I see and quietly question decisions made by the big guys which sometimes catch me as being odd, but in all honesty I've never seen anything rock solid that would lead me to believe there is much, if any, favoritism at all.  From comments sent back and forth and due to the length of time it took to put &quot;raid 1&quot; together last night I believe 100% there was no plan set in place beforehand with regard to the group make up.  Before I was invited I was actually already prepping myself for the feelings I'd be having and how I'd need to deal with them if I wasn't invited.  I wasn't ready for the feelings of being sad for the others who were left out though, but it happened.  I guess it makes sense since I know how that feels and I do care about the gulid and the peeps who make it up.

Thank you so much for posting, Rosa.  I appreciate you taking the time to share your feelings and I hope you can work this out as I, as well as others per previous posts, have been forced to do at times.

Btw, I too was ecstatic that we have some newer members who are willing to take the bull by the horns to the degree we had two groups running last night as well as a kara run afterwards...  Very nice - way beyond anything I've done.
