I'm one of them.....

yes one of them that Baeloc speaks of, I have chosen for my sanity in the fake world to stop raiding at this time because of what I can only call gear greed.  

Allow me to have a history lesson.  When FSE first started in WoW not SWG but WoW we had a if you get something you pass till everyone gets something loot rule.  Easy and it worked.  As we got larger and did larger raids, it became clear that was no longer going to work.  So we changed, adapted if you will to the ever changing state of FSE and of this fake world we live and play in.  

But oh how the mighty have fallen, in front of my eyes I have seen FSE go from a solid group of people whose #1 goal was to have fun with FRIENDS to what I see today nothing more at times than a &quot;tagged&quot; PuG.

Where do I get off saying this you ask.  Easy, I started it, I am the one that has to balance my own fun with the fun of 89 other accounts.  the one that has to answer whys, whats and hows.  Its been an honor and a pleasure mostly for me, mostly.

But recently I stepped away for 2 months, stepped away from RL and online friends because it wasnt fun anymore, not the game but the Guild.  I always kept an eye on what was up and since i do have daily interaction with a majority of the guild on some level I knew what was up.  i cheered at our victories and was sadden when I heard of our failures.  But I couldn't be here, nope not if I didnt want this to be over for me.

So I am back, I have given myself a month to see if I could right the ship for myself and continue to play a game that at times I could never think of leaving.  So I guess this is as good as any place to start..... Raid Loot and the thought processes I have heard talked about since BC.

First the Alt thing came up it was because as it was posted by Temblor, Meshach, and Zeph that alts where coming when we needed a certain class.  A Class that would allow us to raid at all.  Now I didnt completely believe this but at least it made some sense.  What I see now is Alts are coming for certain bosses on certain days.  That is completely for the loot, there is no other explanation.  

Meshach brings up the chart that shows what people have received so far great hard evidence right?  that as he has posted no ones main/alt combo has gotten to much loot.  Well as any statistic can be molded in to saying what ever you want I feel that that is one way to look at it ONE way.

My feelings about it is simple.  If one persons main ONE.  has lost out on gear that now does nothing to continue to help FSE raid ie. sitting on an ALt then we have done something wrong, something huge.  And we must revisit how we are dealing with loot.

Do I want phat Kara Lootz, sure I do.  It's a Blizzard game its loot driven.  But I am only a cog in a machine in a raid why should I be anymore important than Dethe or Kray or Dread or Temblor or Zeph???   I shouldnt be at all.  

It's a 2 way street.  For those of us that thru other means or by luck of drops get gear it may lower the &quot;fun&quot; factor of a raid so to continue we may want or even need to switch toons.  I understand that, if anyone understands that its me.  But with that said whatever happen to common courtesy?

meshach does show us that no ones Main/alt have received that much more than anyones main, but why should someone have to roll against an alt?  Why doesnt that person remember that they received this or that on that other toon and PASS?

Look at it like this If Player A goes to every Kara run and luck is not their lady and the loot doesnt drop it blows but happens.  Well if then you factor in that player B goes on part of the runs with toon a, b, and c you have increased that player A gets the shaft.  So what is player A to do?  Suck it up and continue?  Probably not player A finds other things to do and now we have lost someone who could help FSE get past our &quot;endgame&quot; Kara.

I want it known that I stopped not for me not getting loot. Redstate is sitting needing or shall I say wanting only 2 things off the prince.  I stopped because I got tired of seeing others getting passed over again and again and no one thinking about it, Thats all I ask for the time for someone to say.  &quot;You know what, this could help &lt;insert name&gt; more than me&quot; or &quot;I got something (maybe on somebody else) yesterday and boy that was cool and fun so i am gonna let &lt;insert name&gt; feel the same way today&quot;

is that so wrong so hard?  Am I attacking anyone nope.  Not yet.  I hope we can fix this as a guild as we have always done, so I don't have to call people out.  But I am tired of seeing people stopping Kara because of this.  this is why it may be our &quot;endgame&quot;.  because how can I sell to someone that Gruul will be different?   I can't...  And I am done being Switzerland.  No more ass kissing, I also want to have fun.

So in closing FSE can and will we find a way that we are ALL happy with to fix this so for the love of god this can stop being an issue.  I hope and know we can.
