I don't do PvP, and seldom raid, mostly because when I raid I usually wind up with a bunch of hardcore gamers who can't stand that I regard WoW as a
game, not a lifestyle. I don't study up on everything, I generally don't "know the battles", I don't think I qualify as "geared", and if my kids need me, well, I might have to do a quick corpse run after I take care of the living, breathing human beings that depend on me.
Sadly, many WoW players see this as a drawback.
I would be interested in joining such a guild on a PvE server, though - as long as I'm not expected to be an expert at raiding...
it takes a few minutes at the very most to understand any given fight. I know of a few well-to-do parents who manage just fine in raid settings.
The gear and (I'm presuming)consumables thing I will grant you, most people are just not willing to give a guy a chance. Or try a fight without all the training wheels on.
I also agree that most raiders are Dbags as well, one of the big reasons I quit. The others being:
1.all my old friends quit
2.I didn't like the way the game was going pve wise. Purples had becomes the new blues, you needed them to do everything, and your reward for getting them was only slightly better epics.
3.class homogenizing, I understand the reason they went in this direction, but I thought it was lazy and sapped a lot of what made the game fun for me out. Its like the class differences(among dpsers/tanks/healers) became mostly superficial because they wanted pve to be simpler and got sick of balancing pvp. I'm exaggerating a bit, but every content patch seems to indicate that the game was heading in that direction.
-uncalled for rant off.
also, I tried to log into my old account, but it seems it was somehow erased(or possibly stolen) when the big battle.net account thing happened. So I'm not liking coming back, as I'm not willing to shell out all that money for expansions just so I can play again.
