Disaffection the second

I can't really saw what the last straw was, to be honest. I've been fairly unhappy with my situation in WoW for a while now, unhappy enough to even play an alt even.

I'm just not into my guild anymore.

There have been too many people leaving, or just not logging on. There have been too many people brought in who I simply don't like, or simply don't know. The incessant drumbeat for 25-man content on a server where recruiting and retaining that many competent people is simply impossible has led to a recruiting policy which has seen a talented, tight-knit guild that used to care somewhat about compatible personalities and chemistry instead taking all-comers, including many who are irritating and/or inept, often in equal measure, which leaves us failing time and again to progress in content we are too small to get through, while simulataneously disparaging the tremendous progress our top-flight core has made in content we are sized and skilled for. And, as I am not alone in my new found incompatibility with the guild, too many of my friends are now pulling up stakes and moving along, or moving altogether.

So, I'll be next.

And no one will notice.

The bright side of being a fringe member, infrequent raider, and perpetually-passed-over is that at least my departure probably won't have enough impact to upset the increasingly fragile situation in a guild that is undergoing an ungraceful metamorphosis. If the running changes in character and composition are to end in fire instead of ice, at least I am not important enough to be the one who lit the fuse.
