OOC Farewell Note

[Vorgas]

To get right to the point: I left Mistrunner Tribe.

The Tribe has been my home on this server for years, now (seems I joined in January 06 or so). In the last weeks I really had some fun on the Tribal Tournament, and on the Covenant event. I liked to group for instances, or whatever we did together.

All good things come to an end, though. I do not really feel that the Tribe and what it can offer me, or anyone for that matter, is what I want from a guild at the moment. I am not really that much into Heavy RP at the moment, seems haven't been for quite a while, and would love to have more PVE action going. Sadly, it seems that the Covenant is more or less falling apart at the moment, and since I already found a new home for Lisandra in The Orphans Grim... well, for me it was only logical to bring Vorgas into the same guild, which feels more or less like what I want to at the moment. Contrast this with our last addition to the tribe, who already left again (that female druid with the Bonkhron-like application) - she left because she thought she would always play at unfortunate hours, while the rest of the Tribe played at other times. I think the problem there was that here are hardly any Mistrunners online anymore, at least as their Mistrunner characters. Alts don't really count, in my view, alts in some more or less random channel do not make a guild. They make a community, a nice community even that I do not intend to leave behind, I might add, but without the need for a tabard. That is my view, at least.

Also, there have been some... developments... within the Tribe that I am not happy with. Some of these have been some time coming, some are very new and only popped up in the last two or three weeks. I will not name anything or anyone directly here, that is not what this post is about, but this plays a role in my decision as well, of course, since I do not feel very happy at the moment with my situation in the guild and on the server as a whole, as a result of this.

All of the above points basically say one thing: I was happy with and in the Tribe for a long time, really, you can trust me on that.But right now, I feel I need a change. There are no hard feeling and guild drama from me.

If you feel like giving Kugar the Champion title, please do, he deserves it. I was actually hesitant to even join the event, since I had this on my mind already, but I decided I wanted to have some nice memories at the end, of a big Tribe event with fun, so I participated after all. Losing on purpose is not me, either, so there we go. Sorry if you think that was selfish.

And please, feel free to contact me for whatever you want. As I said, this is not some grudge I hold against the guild, it is just that I want to do and see something different. As I said above I will stay in #mistrunner anyway. Yes, I will still craft blacksmithing items for you, and come to instances with you, and be available for whatever you might want me for just like before, and all that. I just need to feel a little fresh breeze around my muzzle.

As I predicted, really.

The reasons you wished not to mention were not even met by my ears, at least not directly. Thus I am sad of this not properly reasoned leave. I'm also slightly saddened about how our raiding was brought to an end by certain individuals, who still had no interest in improving it in any way, but rather choosing an easy way out.

I don't wish to say this as an angry later reminder, but perhaps it was also good for you to leave now, rather than facing the consequences I had already put forth for those, who I no longer deemed as worthy of helding their titles within the tribe.

So long,
Chieftain

I can't say I didn't see this coming. I am sad to see you go, how ever. Of course everyone is free to do as they want with the game, no question about that. I am just sad that while I felt things had taken a turn for better after some hard times, people sill feel like leaving the Tribe. I really hope we wouldn't get caught in all the pessimistic vibes on the server with guilds disbanding etc. This is not just directed at you Vorgas, just general thoughts that came to mind.
I also was left very unsure what those "developments" in the Tribe that you mentioned might be. It is hard to fix things if you don't know they are broken. (oh how wise words from me ).

Whoa, I log in and see that both Vorgas and Hrawah has left for other guilds. I did know about Uhepono's application as I talk to people within TOG, but I didn't foresee that it would mean both Vorgas and Hrawah completely gone from the tribe for good. Two of the people I've always appreciated the most within the tribe. My first impression is that it has happened in a most terrible and unnecessary way (at least with the information that I have, which is not much) and it leaves the Tribe in quite a sad state, again. On the other side, it's not the first time, as we have had a crisis before with people wanting more epics/raiding and less MRT fun and RP, so we will probably pull through once again.
I appreciate that Vorgas at least had the balls to say bye before getting his coat on the way out.

I make it my point to ALWAYS sleep over one night before replying if I feel that my reply is going to be hazed by overwhelming fury and anger. If after three nights I still feel like bashing the person, then those are most likely my true and correct feelings.

It's taken me two nights now. I'll attempt not to say too much until one more.

But on a related note, saying that the Covenant is falling apart was quite uncalled for. This is what you were always doing, Vorgas. Pointing that everything is going towards a negative direction and just shrugging, ignoring or complaining even more when something needs to be done about it. All of the four famous race-only RP-guilds of DB have gone through bad times (excluding the blood-elf guilds as most of them were run by morons from the start). It was a pity Old Lordaeron had to go, but that was their decision and if it were to affect us, we should make it a positive chance to snatch some roleplayers, and not a declaration of doom for all the existing RP guilds everywhere.
