Yay! I’m glad you are all rested up

That is exactly the reason we didn’t continue to raid through the end of the expansion. We wanted people to have the opportunity to just relax if they needed it.

You know, each time something happens (guild, game, etc) I ask myself if maybe I’m just done with all of this. I keep trucking along, but I do suspect that my batteries are reaching the point they can no longer be recharged.

As for the healing, it’s not nearly as bad as it was in Cataclysm. But it is a bit different than what we left in DS.

The expansion is beautiful. I am actually looking forward to some of the non-raid things the most! (Challenge Modes, Pet Battles, Farming).

I really think I need to give Skyrim a fair shot. I just sorta kept getting caught trying to steal things (my fault for trying to stealth in plate!)

Uh…I’m not sure I’m writing it off, I’ve just never played it! (Any version of it!)

I’ve heard several people indicate that they have been enjoying the Secret World. I haven’t really looked at it much, myself!

Brade is really enjoying GW2. I haven’t tried it yet though!

These two weeks off have given me a much needed break from WoW. I decided that after our last raid, I’d just let my subscription lapse and resub on the 24th or so. I can’t even put into words how nice the time away from WoW has been. I’ve been reading a lot more; just finished my 2nd book a couple days ago and started my third yesterday. I’ve also been playing a lot of Skyrim. I was at about 100 played hours. Since the two week break from WoW started, I am at 135 hours now. Not only has the break given me a chance to enjoy some other games, instead of AFKing in Orgimmar, it’s made me want to actually play ago. I wasn’t really excited about the expansion, I was bored of playing all day. But now, I am ready for Mists. I am actually excited to start playing again, and I can’t wait until we knock out some bosses!

I am trying during this couple of weeks to find the enthusiasm to approach MoP. I have paid for it, but right now I feel like I’d rather pay for it again than have to do actually do it.

At this stage before the other xpacs I was super excited, had made lists and spreadsheets and applied for leave from work and was generally BUSTING to get at the new zones and new spells and new encounters.

Maybe 8 years is enough?

I don’t want to go through the mana-starved, healer-hate kickoff of Cata again. I don’t want to quest in congested zones with lag and bugs and PANDAS. I’ve always found the allure of vanity pets to be a mystery, but pet fights seem to take it to a new level of shudder-inducing tweeniedom. I don’t gotta catch ‘em all.

Healing mushrooms are FAIL.

I feel like there’s this huge hump of yuk to get over before I’m anywhere near doing what I love – healing in a guild raid. And before then I have to sort out all my addons (apart from VuhDo which has been rock steady) and my UI and then start to relearn my class. I’m not as perfectionist as you Beru, but I need to be competent to have fun.

Just maybe my energy bar for all of this is empty.
