My Thoughts & What I Need

[kandrathe]

I observed the conversation. It was a frank and very brief discussion, and it was instigated by not just yours, but the trend of multiple 60's moving on.

I think there are many high level people who have been biding their time waiting for a critical mass, which to them seems to be slipping away. I was excited by our last Sabra/Flyn organized event, at how far we have come to get a significant sized and powerful raid together. The angst is to see such quality players leave, which then places more pressure on the ones that remain to wait just a little longer (or maybe they won't wait). I can speak for myself, and I am saddened by every departure as I think it diminishes what we are and delays us from being what we can be. You were a part of that group that got to the top early, then another reached it, and Sabra and her group are drawing near, and I am in another group a few levels back. Now I see another group behind me.

I'm not unique in that I've been helped immensly by many Lurkers, and in return I extend my hand wherever I can to give others a boost up as well. It was just 3 hours earlier I was telling Tris that I think the Lurkers are at the point where we need to start keeping a schedule as the Basin does, such that players know when they can jump in on particular content. But trust me, it is just as hard to organize a run at BFD as it is to go to BRD, or LBRS. So let's evolve into something else that suits the 40 or 50 of us that are playing this game.

We are not a recruiting guild, so we have a limited pool of talent from which to draw. It is up to the ones in front to decide to wait, help build, or move on as they see fit. But understand that we all have an equally huge investment in time and effort into this fun game, and again speaking for myself, I too fully intend to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Lurkers in the near future fighting Onyxia (and dying spectacularly too).
