Sanctuary, and Arcturus were my first two serious guilds after turning 80. I was still very new to WoW, and didn't know the in and outs of being in a guild. I hadn't learned guild politics. Both, are very good guild. Both I left of very good terms. It simply wasn't a good fit. Anomaly/Elegy, Praxis/Ye be Guilty, this was an example of a period when guilds, split, merged and took on new names. Reforming, taking new names, but essentially it was always the same guild. Votu and We Be guilty, merged into Ye be guilty, then Ye be Guilty split and a major part became Praxis. The same is true with Elegy. Elegy went through a difficult period. they split into two factions. One of the factions became Anomaly. Ultimately it was the most chaotic period for Horde guilds. It was also a period where Officers were greedy and deceitful. Forming core group, taking the bulk of the loot and then ultimately taking a core group of raiders and leaving the server without warning. Obviously if you played for progression, you stayed in these guilds. Praxis and Anomaly both have had their moments where they dominated progression. But in that, I went 4 months without getting a single piece of loot. When you see an officer alt getting BiS items over mains it starts to cause problems. The Gm (former) of Ye be Guilty was probably the worst example of Officer looting and favoritism. Regularly giving BiS dps weapons to his girlfriend(healer) who was in the guild, over dps casters that could have actually used the much needed upgrades. I'm sorry, I can only take so much of politics, greed, unfairness. And if you saw gross wrong doings what would you do? All of this was an extended period where even the big guilds Midnight, Galt went through changes, left the server, reformed. I still run with all these guilds on occasion. I often ran with Anomaly because I still have a lot of friends there. Just like I have often run with Midnight and Galt.(alt runs, etc.) I have friends all over the server. If my current guild is doing nothing(say because of vacations and so on) and it is deemed to be ok to do 25's you are of course going to choose the big guild alt runs for they are surely going to go further. I am a mature player. I'm a psych major. I don't get upset, I don't get mad if someone get the item I really wanted. I don't play for loot or gold. I play to raid. I also have many friends that have switched factions. In all honesty and from most people's experience. Alli guild's are run more professionally. A big reason I chose this guild in the first place. It was a different and refreshing prospective. Everybody who has spent a great deal of time on Horde has been in many, many, guilds. It is an unfortunate nature of the game. I hope this answers your questions.

I am sorry, but there are some personal matters that have come up that to me are more important pretty much anything else. I also expect to be moving over the next few days. Nothing should keep me off-line for more than a couple days. If you wish to fill the spot.. By all means take Lydecker. You can't do wrong. Very good friend, extremely good lock. I am sure I will get a spot sometime in the future. I will try to keep you up to date on what is going on with me. Right now.. Things just re a little crazy so I will be off dealing with it.

No problem, thanks for the heads up. I hope everything works out.

Let us know when you might be available again, and if we're currently recruiting locks at that time then we'll see about taking the next step in your application.

I can't for the life of me figure out why we even considered the app. This person was flakey during the trial it had with Resurgence.
