I think most people are hitting the wall these days, at least those that have been around for the majority of the 5 years. I know quite a few people in my guild who are at that stage; nothing much to play for, no energy to level another alt.

Still, its not all bad news. Despite Blizzards attempts to screw up the raids and the daily heroics (yes I know I might be alone with that viewpoint), Icecrown should hopefully be a climactic and satisfying end to a long long buildup.

I think people might have said all there is to say already so I’ll keep it short: Keep your chin up. It may be a tankless task, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Consider getting your Red Drake via “Glory of the Hero.” (http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=2136) I just got mine (Bigjimm, Anetheron-US), and it was very fun. Some fights are frustrating, some are easy, but it is a goal that is challenging but doable at this point, and is rewarding after completing.

Remember when I moved my alt to play with that group of friends? My alt was there for 3 days before my account time ran out, and in that time I was taken through Onyxia 25, Ulduar 25, and ToC-25. That was my first experience with raiding ToC and the whole experience left me feeling sad because the entire raid felt like a giant loot pinata. But maybe it was because I was playing with a group of people that had lots of experience with the raid.

And the whole lack of excitement from that, and the lack of incentive run heroics/older raids after being at that point (For 3 entire days!) made me decide not to renew my account. Though now my account is technically active because of that account compromise issue the other week, but I’ve really only logged in to put everything back in it’s place.

Between work and DA I don’t really have the time for WoW anyway. :/

I doubt I’ll be coming back to WoW anytime soon, Cataclysm really doesn’t appeal to me, but I hope some of the fun of WoW comes back for you with 3.3 and Icecrown. <3

Oh, or Bloodsail rep? You’d look fetching in a Pirate’s Hat, I fancy.

No, the guild is far from dead. I’m just around less. We’re still raiding, we’re still working on Yogg-Saron, if you want to check us out, please do.

I feel your pain. I to have had a damper on my raiding in the past week or so, out of the 2 times i have tried doing Ony this week they both failed. And I feel like it’s my fault. I have been experimenting with specs gear and the like and just can’t seem to get anything down. All i can say is don’t beat yourself up about it, that’s what my guild is saying to me and the same goes for you. Many a great players have quit because they were to hard on themselves and i don’t want that to happen to you :*) Maybe PvP?(Ha-ha)

Poor Kadomi.

You could do what I’m doing, and get maximum effect from your professions; I’ve dropped mining, given it to an alt, and started to level Jewelcrafting for the somewhat spiffy Jeweller’s gems. It’s something of a rough process, to be fair, but it’s something to be getting on with.

Of course, the rest of my time is spent trying to recruit an additional tank for our second 10 man Icecrown raiding team. It’s really not going so well.

Where’d they all go?

Well, i sympathise with a small issue of your post. Im so hard on myself while tanking it’s ridiculous. If I lose aggro on any mob at any point I go into self-depricating mode. Today, doing ToC (reg, lol) I had two runs with terrible results but then several hours later I went back with a different group and I played awesome. Although I still kick myself for uncontrollable things like randomly targeted spells knocking out dps, I wouldn’t want to play any other class. The thought of not controlling every single fight and it’s outcoming is not a WoW I want to play.

I may start up a Dps class someday, but for now, I can only urge you to remember why you fell in love with the warrior class in the first place. I just found your blog recently, but I love it and hope you can keep it up. Maybe a small break would help rekindle the love. Usually after a few weeks to a month, Im jonesing for some more WoW.
