Was a boring day, until one of the raiders from yesterday’s BT run, Grumbles, wanted to do the run again. I told him that I don’t think we can due to killing up to the third boss, but I agreed and wanted to continue where we left off. And I wish I didn’t, because it was a waste of time.
\nWe try to assemble a raid, but without Darksoul being on, we have no leader. I try to ask for one. One of the invited players says she’ll lead, so I give her control and she starts inviting. At this time, Grumbles is getting bored and asks if I could take him to Badlands. I told him I couldn’t because I was still trying to recruit people. So he hops off and goes anyway. That’s when I see the new leader has everything under control, and decide to take him anyway.<\/p>\n
So, we’re at Badlands, and I discovered Grumbles is using me as transport to work on his Alch. Now I know how Drago felt. Anyway, time ticks on and I’m noticing how disorganized the raid is going, and whisper to Grumbles that this raid is going to be a failure. But he says it’ll work, so I stay. Finally we’re ready to go there, but there’s no one there to summon us. Grumbles tries to take over and hearths out, leaving me alone. But he forgot that the raid’s in TBC. I take off and head there myself. About five seconds after I go through The Dark Portal, I get ported and accept.<\/p>\n
So, we’re all infront of the instance portal. We run in, and me and him get stopped due to the instance lock. I start yelling at him for not knowing about the fucking lock, but I shouldn’t of. It is partially his fault, but it’s more of Blizzard’s. So, I had to tell the raid that me and him can’t go in and left. All of that planning.. wasted.<\/p>\n
I’m still pissed at both of them for wasting my time. This is so fucking unfair!! We didn’t COMPLETE the fucking thing! It shouldn’t be locked! But this is the thing; we had people that didn’t have a lock. We would have to re-create the old raid to continue where we left off. That’s the only way it would of worked.<\/p>\n

\n.
\nA bit later, I was in GS. Blacksoul’s alt was on, and he said he wanted to do something, and mentioned The Battle of Mount Hyjal. I jumped when he said that and wanted in. I only did it once, but never completed. Again, had to go to SW. This time he started to recruit.
\nSo, we’re getting people. Not many at the time. Then suddenly Darksoul gives me the lead and says he has to go, and said that I can still do this. So now I’m the leader of this forming raid, and I have NO idea what the fuck we need for it! But a Shaman named “Daegon” seemed like he knew what he was doing, but I never passed over the lead to him. I should of, but he didn’t ask for it.<\/p>\n
After what seemed like 20 minutes just trying to assemble a raid, we head out, and we got it done, thanks to that guy who knew what to do and how to do it. Occasionally I tried to be a good leader and instructed the raid to go here and there. So I can say I lead my first raid.. sorta. Daegon did all the work. But now I know what to do next time I decide to do this.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, I’m going to try to see if I can solo a dungeon I haven’t seen since my days as a Level 70; Grull’s Lair in Blade’s Edge Mountains. I’ve only been in it once through that private server that Troy was a GM in. I find it weird no one wants to raid up for it. Is it soloable? I don’t know, but I don’t think I can due to it being a 25-man (same as TK and SP, and they’re both unsoloable). That’s why I want to find out. I’ll have to bring one of my alts to make it a raid.<\/p>\n
When Patch 4.3 nears (if it’s not soloable), maybe people would want to raid it for the new Transmogrification feature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
