Sounds like I went through something similar David.
I�m playing in Garrosh. I was on another group but a couple of the long-timers resented me I think. Today I�d had enough so I looked for another group on YAHOO that was more my cup of tea.
As a retirement gift, my son, Jeremy, gave me WOW. He�s been playing it even before it was an Internet game. It�s certainly entertaining but, as first, as a level 1,2 or 3, I was challenged to duels by every Tom, Dick and Mary that were higher up the food chain than me. I wasn�t sure WTF was going on until I realized you get some kind of credit for defeating another player. Naturally, they challenged a player of much lower level than themselves.
My next learning experience was guilds. I was invited to join one and I accepted. I was a member there for a few months and I shared much of my loot in the guild vault. One day I logged on and I was no longer in the guild and the guild no longer existed. The guild master looted all the loot [mine and everyone else�s] and then closed down the guild. The stuff I had put in the vault was intended by me for mutual benefit but not for his sole benefit.
About the same time frame I learned to shy away from groups unless I knew the members. Many of the groups I joined consisted of a level 60 whatever [and that included my son at times] who would go through the quest killing everything in sight and tell me to just stand off and pick up the loot. Needless to say, I didn�t learn anything from that so I�ve avoided groups since then.
Most recently, I declined a �join guild� invitation so the inviter challenged me to a dual. I declined that as well so he followed me for a while, figured out want quest I was on and went and killed everything before I could and took all the loot including the quest loot.
There�s lots of moon-bat on WOW; mostly kids I guess but I�ve become a loner now and, perhaps, not learned as much as quickly but, at least, I�m doing it my way.
Thanks again for approving my membership. I�m anxious to join in on the conversation here.
Regards,
David Lee
