Gotta Get Your Groove: October 2008

I got my compouter back from Asus.

now remember... my warranty was expired. So I put off sending it in just because I was being stuborn and grouchie about having to pay for repairs to my computer that still makes me drool...

Asus repaired my computer and covered it under warranty.

They took excellent care of my system, they get high marks on their service. They stayed in contact with me the entire time they had my computer.

I highly recommend their gaming laptops to those that preferr gaming on a laptop as opposed to a desk top.

I will not purchase my next laptop from Best Buy, but if my next machine is a lap top I most definatly will purchase an Asus machine... it rocks!!

My next purchase... (however, I would like to get a couple more years out of this one)

(2) Flasks per raid – around 100-130 gold
(20) Count of food (minimum) – around 40 gold
(30) Mana pots (minimum) – 60 to 80 gold
(60) Reagents for buffs – around 5 gold
Repairs – Depending on the fight… anywhere from 5 gold to 50… 4 deaths is around 15-20 gold in repairs… and I am a clothie.

If you’re saying to yourself… wow Bubu… that’s a lot of Gold!!

You’re right… it is a lot of gold…

So why do I do it?

Because I didn’t think I could.

I never thought that a day would come that I could say that I healed a boss fight in MH, or SSC, or TK, or BT… but I have done it… from the strength, and skill of our raiders, we have already accomplished so many great things.

When we go into a raid, and I look at the 24 people there with me, and I know what we have accomplished so far as a team. I know, as a team, there is no boss that is unattainable for us.

Our team is just that good.

All it takes is focus, and a desire for a common goal.

I want to see the bosses of BC.

Raiding is expensive. It is also challenging and rewarding. Whether it is gear you are looking for, a sense of accomplishment, or the camaraderie of playing with your fellow guildies, for those that choose to raid it has its own rewards.

Without focus on the task at hand, especially during a boss fight, there are no rewards for anyone.

This bears repeating.

~ Without focus on the task at hand, especially during a boss fight, there are no rewards for anyone.~

There is a time and a place for all things… a time and a place for all conversations.

Distractions.

Be it a conversation not related to the raid or fight at hand…. a TV blaring on TS while the raid leader is trying to give instructions and assignments…

Distractions.

Distractions hurt the focus of the raid.

Distractions, during a boss fight, hurt those that are in the raid with you, trying to achieve your common goals.
