Or, its a matter of life vs a hobby.
In which case, the person who tends to real life first and foremost is the one with character.

--Syrus-- posted: Yeah I get it, it's a game and it is fun. Bottom line though, if your group is approaching the last boss in a dungeon and then some hunter aggro's to separate groups with his pet because he didn't have it on passive and wipes the group, then your tank gets frustrated and leaves so you end up not completing the dungeon, that is frustrating, I don't care who you are. If you deny that then you are trolling.
No, it actually isn't. If you are on the last boss, then you will not get the debuff for leaving.
No loot? No different than losing the roll, IF a piece you could use actually dropped.
It's all about how you look at things, Syrus.
You played AC, right? How many perfect weapons did you blow up, going for those imbues? Not crap, mind you, but absolutely flawless?
Did this frustrate you? Or did you just look at it from an "odds" sense, and that the more you blow up, the better the odds the next one won't?

Auenwing posted: Ah, Gutter, that wasn't an attack at you ( I don't think you took it that way. ) Thanks for explaining where you're at and why.
I can understand how you'd get there. It IS a hobby, go play for fun.
Love my guild. Don't know what I would do without them. Sometimes, though, I just need some space. At different points, all of us in our guild do, and we happily allow it, without demands.
(edit: "allow" doesn't mean getting permission, it means accepting reality.)
Auen, I have heard you talk about your guild, and honestly, what you have is the way it should be. Friends first and foremost, then what you can accomplish ingame. The true meaning of "guild" as I came to know it over decades of gaming.
I'm sure there are more like it out there, but I'm also sure that they are few and far between.
Kudos to you and yours!

Gutter I do understand where you are coming from, from a logic stand point. Logic dictates that there is no point in being frustrated about anything in game. I mean by that logic as well you shouldn't be frustrated about anything in real life either.
If you are driving down the highway and hit some road debris and get a flat tire are you frustrated? Or do you just acknowledge these things happen, your tire is blown and frustration will not reverse that event?
Myself, I am not easily frustrated I tend to lean towards logic then emotion, however I certainly don't expect everyone to be that way. We are human after all. If someone tells me they are frustrated about something happening in game I don't find it constructive or helpful to tell them to grow up its a game.

Actually, previous attempts have no influence over future attempts. :-) I couldn't resist.

Doesn't have to be that way though, it is all about how you run it. I would be surprised if anyone in my guild felt like raiding with them was like a 2nd job.
