Really, people being ranty about the flame kitten isn’t what made me take a break so much as realizing that playing was just stressing me out more.

I’ll be home tomorrow if you feel like running some randoms.

The real goal of a troll is to obtain attention, right? I went to an indie rock concert with my sis last night and at least 30% of the audience were douchebags who wouldn’t let the guy sing what he wanted. It’s not the WoW community, it’s planet earth. :/

In any case, as always, let me know if you want to run heroics. We can run them quick, and all of the ones in MoP are at least fast and easy. And if you just don’t want to run them, don’t. If you want to gear, do it through dailies. They aren’t that bad. I highly recommend the Domination Offensive since the rewards are high ilvl and it’s only 5 mostly quick dailies per day. As a bonus, the storyline quests that go along with the faction are really good and finally give the blood elves some much needed plot!

$2.3 Million says the WoW community cared about Sandy (and cute pets)!

Glad to hear that you are getting back on your feet though!

I cried when I saw all the damage done there!

I wrote a story about how Rain Poppies got their name and was thinking about you when I finished it up. I’m going to edit it a bit more, then I’ll share it here. :)

Pay no attention to the trolls out there Faye – seriously. There is always more good than not. Welcome back!

I agree that the WoW community habitually behaves like spoiled children. I can’t say that I’ve never participated in the whining. Unfortunately, it often takes a disaster for people to be grateful for what we have.

I’d good to see you back in game, lady. <3

It wasn't just people being bitchy about the Flame Kitten, obviously. The WoW community….how shall I say this. It tends to…complain an awful lot. And it was just really difficult to read that stuff after waiting in line for gas for three hours. Similarly, it was distressing to be around the douchebags who inhabit our "community" in places like LFR or randoms or forums when in my own world, people were going to great lengths to help each other. I just needed to unplug for my own mental health.

Glad to be playing again more though. I'm working on doing randoms. It's not that I'm worried about doing them, it's that I just flat out have no desire to. But I had no desire to play WoW at all a month ago, so hopefully I'll actually feel like doing instances soon. :)

It was really a no-brainer for the rest of the world to come to the aid of the storm’s many survivors.

The ignorant people who complained about Blizzard offering the Cinder Kitten as another way to donate to the Red Cross were blatantly trolling. It doesn’t matter what the complainers’ intentions were; it was trolling, and as such, should be ignored. The majority of the player-base celebrated that they were given another opportunity or reminder to donate, like rational people.

I’m honored to have helped you, in my little way, to get through this rough time. I would be glad to help further, even if it means dragging you by your tail (or ears) through some heroics and scenarios and… maybe even LFR?

Once you’ve experienced them (preferably with guildies), they are not so daunting. I speak from my own initial reluctance about getting into the current content. Since letting go of giving myself a hard time about being “behind” in the game, I’ve been having a better time. I hope the same for you. :)
