This isn't and hasn't been fun for me whatsoever this tier. We are so far from where we used to be. Progression racing was fun when we were actually competing for world firsts, not hoping to win the special olympics by beating Midwinter for US 1st. We are all playing like shit, myself included, because the motivation isn't there anymore, and it's obvious to everyone.

My family business had our extra employee leave us after she finished her degree, and we have not found a replacement for her yet. I've been covering some of her work, and this has been very tough throughout WoD. Waking up, working/raiding all day and then going to bed (at best) around 2am for the last 4 weeks would qualify as torture in most countries I'm pretty sure. Don't get me wrong, if we had killed the boss nine days ago like Method and been World First, or at least close to it, I wouldn't be feeling this way. Even when we lost to them in the past, we were at least close. Highmaul/BRF we aren't even in the same league anymore, and it's disappointing.

I cannot continue to put my life on the wayside any longer. I have been beyond miserable every night for awhile now. I don't even troll Rigg a few times a night anymore. Sadly, I've put on 22lbs since WoD came out. This is obviously not all on the game, but putting in basically a minimum of 40 hours a week since the middle of November is not helping the situation either. We have now raided 35 out of the last 37 days, and our results are embarrassing. Our results do not even remotely come close to justifying the amount of time we have and continue to put in. I've been talking to Rigg about it for the last week or so, and I've hit my limit. Between work and WoW I barely have any time for anything else. I've only played golf three times THIS YEAR. I don't have anytime to spend with my girlfriend, who I live with.

That said... Other than the move to 20m raiding, pretty much every other decision blizzard has made lately has been awful. Class tuning is still laughable for the most part. QA/UX team provide absolutely zero benefit to pre-raid testing. The amount of times we login to PTR to test bosses that are bugged beyond belief or retardedly overtuned (H&F hitting tanks for like 1mil) prove that the internal testing team did nothing more than pull the boss with godmode on to make sure mechanics are working. Even Kromog went live with 280mil hp, only to be nerfed by like 90mil, and then we got to watch them hilariously try to hotfix the fight on the fly, and fail miserably, over and over. And apparently they watched Method feign Sorka and bug the tornadoes and the fight where the boat never happened for an ENTIRE DAY before hotfixing it and making them use a different strategy. It's just laziness and/or carelessness by the devs. Their incompetence and complete MW dick-sucking has also disenfranchised me.

Obviously my rogue is available if needed for someone else to use. I just can't do this at this rate anymore. We are coming up on week FIVE of progression. It's more or less a joke at this point. Like Chris said in some post, bosses are supposed to be dead way before now. I just can't continue to force myself to login and be miserable for hours for even one more day. I'm sorry for the timing, but this has to happen for me. I now know exactly how Rigg felt in Highmaul. It sucks, but needs to be done.

I enjoy raiding with my friends I've made here in the guild over the years, and it's by far the best group of people I've ever gotten the chance to play other games with, and I hope that continues even after all of our WoW careers are over.
