A fuller explaination

[Menedil]

Well, I felt I needed to post a little more about what has happened over the last few months and what has led up to recent events, and why I want to still be a part of SOG in some way.

I'd like to start by saying that my time in Silver Oak Guardians has been overall a great experience. I've made lots of friends, had a lot of laughs, and I hope I can say that I've made a good impact on the 20 man raids. I've also acted like a jackass quite a lot. It would sadden me deeply if my application to rejoin on my paladin was declined, but I accept that a lot of people will be angered by what has happened, and will be disappointed in the decisions that I have made, and for that I am sorry.

The feelings I had when we first took down Ragnaros and Nefarion will stay with me for a very long time. It was the culmination of months and months of hard work paying off, and we made it happen despite many problems which are already well known and discussed. It's these problems which have been biting at me for months now, and I'm ashamed to say a lot of my 40-man raiding experience in RG1 these days is not as fun as it used to be. All too often I find myself frustrated and angry at mistakes or problems which is beyond the control of the officers or any of the dedicated RG1 raiders.

I dont want people to think that I'm leaving on Menedil because I'm a "lootwhore" as so many others have been labelled. I leave SOG on almost 3000 plus DKP. Infact I'm fairly confident that I would see more loot sooner in SOG than I will in other guilds. I hope my contribution to raiding over the last year will speak for itself here. For me the real reward to raiding is the first kill. Please dont misunderstand me here, I am certain SOG will make progress, and I know I will regret not being a part of that. But no one can deny RG1 is not problem free at the moment and im ashamed to say I'm too impatient to wait for those problems to resolve themselves, attendance especially has been a long running issue. Last thursdays raid frustrated me more than I would like to admit.

Concerning my behaviour in that raid, I would like to apologise for the way I made my opinion known. I respect the officers for following the rules to the letter, but if you consider the spirit in which the rules were written, and examine the situation we were in, then I dont beleive the rules in question are adequate or appropriate.

Finally, I would like to announce that I intend to join Righteous RG2 on Menedil and raid with them on Sun/Mon/Wed each week. Several people in the guild are already aware of this fact, and I thankyou for your encouraging words. I hope people do not think I am taking the easy way out, I've contributed my fair share and then some more. I hope I can find what I'm looking for with Righteous and I cannot apologise enough to the people who feel I am abandoning them. Just so you know, I dont consider this an upgrade. It's just something I feel I have to do. Leaving SOG is something I neither really want to do completely, nor did I enjoy the process. If you would let me, I would love to carry on leading 20 man raids, and now on tuesdays for RG2. This is something I am very proud of doing for SOG in the past.

Incase my application is declined, I would like to now wish SOG RG1 and RG2 the best of luck in their future raiding. RG1 has tonnes of ability, just apply enough of it and success will come RG2 is progressing so fast and I admire what you guys are achieving in such a short space of time. I will miss everyone

Thankyou all for the last year, my apologies if this is a little hard on the eyes

[Neff]

I still love you. You're right, atleast with my experiences. Dont give me the whole "you're not raiding anymore" bs, you know what im talking about.

[DarkAngel]

Im sorry that you are leaving, but i do understand the reasons and wish you luck in your next guild.
 
For this is only a game and some people forget that. Expressing my own opinion i do hope your Paladin is accepted as it would be sad to loose you.

[Keltor]

Hope whatever you do, you're happy with it bro.

Lots of love from Kelt <3

[shadowscream]

Yup it's been nice having you around Menedil, I hope you find what you're looking for. Will miss you:unsure:

[Sandrion]

I understand why you're leaving and I hope you find what you are looking for with Righteous. At least we'll still see you around with Gil.

[KreuZ]

Goodbye and GL Menedil, hope I'll see you around. :smile:

[Secohan]

Really sad about ur leaving m8 :bye2:  
I can understand you well at your points. We should consider some points maybe. On the other hand Its still hard to obtain suitable rulez for every man/women in raids. We dont have 40 hardcore players that will give fast progress. Summer times always ruins online community
Thx for your efforts m8 :taz:
Hoping to see you on your Paladin in SoG.
