Before you quit, take a breath.
Before you quit, take a look around.
Before you quit, know that you are liked by people on your server.
Before you quit, remember that the puggers aren’t your guildies.
Before you quit, remember that you’ll never see that particular pug group again.
Before you quit, take a breath.

I read BBB’s post about his latest and greatest healing experience. You can read about it here. Personally, I’ve seen our healers go through a lot of pain with the changes in Cata. I’m not a healer, I can only comment on what I see the PhR healers going through.
My heart goes out to our healers. All I can say is, “I’ve got your back. I won’t complain if I die. I know you are doing your best.”
Now, a word to some of you other WoW players. The poem at the beginning of this post is for you. I would like to add one little thing:
Before you quit, make a toon on Sentinel’s Server, and look me (or one of my guildies) up. Come, hang out with a nice group of people. Remember why you began to play this game to begin with.
Also, if you think that people being “nice” is a let down. I’m afraid that you’ve got other problems.

When I do get that very random chance to run a dungeon I feel the same way… lol if I die, it’s most likely my own fault and not that of the healer.
I wouldn’t blame anyone except myself in most cases… but why even blame anyone.
I’m used to playing dps and usually melee at that. I do have a priest and druid but play feral kitty or shadow, would I like to try healing or tanking?… Darn right but I’m not confident enough in my abilities to try. (insert here… a bit of a wimp and I can be overly sensitive to nasty comments).
I do wish more players were of the same mindset though, you get further by being nice then being a nasty person.
You know, you’ve got a very nice blog to visit, and your writing is extremely good. Clean, clear and well phrased.
Very pleasing.
I see you don’t post often… is it that you don’t have time, or is it more that you rarely have the inclination?
Or are you one of those people that have a dozen different blogs, each on a seperate, distinct topic?
I’ll admit, with the quality of your writing, I’m curious.
Thank you both for commenting on my little blurb. I really appreciate it.
Michelle, I totally identify with you. I made a DK and a Paladin so that I could learn how to tank. I’ve done a few in-guild runs, but that is about it. I’m not confident in my abilities either.
BBB, I appreciate your comment greatly. I mean that with all sincerity. I’ve been wondering as well why I haven’t gone ahead with the next RP post. I’ve taken the screen shots that I wanted. I have the basic idea in my head. Also, I’m trying to keep my posts within the 300-500 word range, so it won’t be super long. But, I’ve still not done it.
I could blame work. It has been busy lately. I could blame WoW itself. I do enjoy playing, and I’ve been leveling up a druid *cough* like a mad man the last 5 days or so. But really, excuses are just reasons to hid the underlying delima.
You see, after some introspection I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m some what intimidated. I started out following your blog, BRK, Aspect of the Hare, and Need More Rage. I firmly believe that you guys are/were (miss you BRK and AoH!) some of the best WoW bloggers out there. You guys were my inspiration. I’ve since gotten to read other really good WoW blogs. And truth be told, I don’t think I write all that well. My master’s degree was a lot of writing, and I was average at best. I’ve still got some emotional trauma from that.
But, I do want to put out a quality post. So, I procrastinate. At least, that is my current conclusion.
I will take your comment as a motivational poke. I’ll get home around 8pm tonight (cst), and I’ll get my next RP post done.
Again, THANKS(!) to both of you for commenting.
