| Guild Drama |
| Thursday, September 18, 2008 |
I got to speak to my WoW friend Graz last night for the first time since we were booted from the Guild. I was surprised to hear a 3rd different story about the so-called demise of TLS. It looks like TLS is fine and dandy, minus Graz and her family and friends.
Apparently she had a disagreement with someone in the Guild, not even the GM (some healer person it sounds like), and they booted her without a word. Not just her but her sons and brother. I'm guessing that since Pallanen was a known close associate, thats the real reason she was booted too. lol
The disagreement appears to have been Graz trying to make the raids more even and fair for the other guildies. The response she got from whoever it was was simply "I don't care. I just care about getting my marks." (Strong emphasis on "my".) I'm guessing (and thats all I can really do) is that this kind of disagreement has been happening for a while. One of the founders of the Guild left a couple months ago for the same reason. She was really missed, even by myself. It was a shock to most of us then. I suppose this latest BS shouldn't be so shocking.
How strange. I don't get game drama at all. Maybe Guilds aren't a great idea. It seems like once a Guild gets big enough to do high level things, the drama begins. My personal experiences have not been great. Pallanen had been in Iron Cross Warriors and the GM there told me he/she was going to boot me if I didn't get Vent within 24 hours. That was hilarious. At the time I had never even heard of Vent. Pally was only somewhere around level 25. But the ultimatum was just too much. Then came Viva la Alianza. That was the good one. The one that was tight knit and fun and very supportive. But the GM there managed to make it a mess and we ended up merging the remaining guildies with The Last Standing. Now TLS has proven to be run by screwey people too.
No matter which of the 3 versions (**see footnote) of why this stuff has happened in TLS, the bottom line is that Pallanen was booted without notice. With no real reason for it. I've been told it wasn't personal. I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean. Anytime a person is kicked out of a group, it is personal. The group, or group leader(s), has decided that person is not worthy of them. It is insulting and it is personal. In the context of a game, it is also very silly.
Graz gave me the opportunity to join her new Guild. I was very tempted. Only because she has been the one true decent person I've met in game. (Other than my bff Lisa of course but I've known her for real for a long time.) But I'm done with these silly dramas. Pallanen is fine in my little Guild. I can get into pugs for raids or go with Graz's new Guild should they have need of my services. I don't need all the extraneous stuff anymore. I prefer to spend my game time, you know, playing the game.
Everytime people are involved in something, things get kinda weird. Too bad it's unavoidable. lol Staying away from people who choose to be insulting and hurtful and then tell you "it's OK, it's not personal", thats the right idea. A game is for fun and relaxation. It's nothing more than that. Those who are running Guilds like the examples I've listed here, those are the people to stay away from for sure.
**Edited 22/SEP/2008 I looked over the note I got from one of the TLS officers. It does say that the officers were staying with the Guild and everyone else was being booted. Graz was an officer too so I guess that didn't apply to her. For what it's worth, it was just 2 versions of the story, not 3. :P |

ok this is getting even wierder. I found out you were on Kul Tiras...So am I. And, my main's name is Akoris. It might be familiar, it might not. However, I was in TLS too....crazy huh? I left like in July to join daedra. They were run by screwy people. But now I'm in Nightfall and thats a good guild. They are kind, funny, supportive and they have people on at all hours to help you with things. And, there's basically no drama. I'm not too sure how this all worked out. But, the moral is, good guilds are out there. You just have to get lucky.

About Me: I started playing WoW after my best friend bugged me to play. I soon learned that I really liked it. Now 2 years later I still play and have 20 characters. LOL I am no gaming expert. I am no WoW expert. A lot of the terms and "how to do's" elude me still. But I love to play. All you will find here are the adventures of Pallanen and her sisters. I love them all and they really kick butt. So stay tuned and maybe we can learn stuff from each other that we never knew. xoxo
