Basically, because I don&#8217;t particularly care too much for achievements and mostly because I then got swapped out on Saurfang (for a DPS, no less) and lost out on 2 emblems and 275 rep, since I&#8217;m human. I think, anyways. Don&#8217;t you get 250 rep (regularly) for a boss kill?<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, this has me out of sorts. I don&#8217;t *want* to do 10-mans with the guild as it stands. I could probably pug it or go with the group I did it with the first week it was released. And then, I&#8217;d get all 8 of my badges and all my rep, assuming a decent group.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, the rep doesn&#8217;t bug me as much as the badges do. Being forced to run 10s to get badges to get my tier faster really pisses me off. But until I have&#8230; oh, let&#8217;s see now&#8230; a minimum of 310 badges to get the cheapest combination of 4 pieces of T10&#8230; then I&#8217;m not going to quit bitching about losing out on badges.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming I get in for all of ICC25 and do my random heroic daily each day and do the random weekly raid (8 + 12 = 20), my total at the end of the week will be 98.<\/p>\n<p>At a rate of 35 badges for the next 2 weeks or so, I&#8217;ll have 70 (2 weeks) + 98 (estimated total by next Tuesday) = 168 badges. Which is enough for 2 pieces of T10 and leaves me with 48 left.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming that the next wing opens up after that two-week period, it will have three bosses, Festergut, Rotface and Professor Putricide. That&#8217;s up to six more emblems on 25 and up to six more on 10, meaning up to 12 more emblems a week.<\/p>\n<p>Presume it now takes 3 weeks to get into the next wing, not four.<\/p>\n<p>35 + 12 = 47<\/p>\n<p>47 x 3 = 141 more emblems over 3 weeks, assuming you get every badge available to you, even though there are limited attempts on Putricide.<\/p>\n<p>141 + 168 = 309 by the time raids reset on February 2nd and my guess as to when we&#8217;ll be able to get into the third wing.<\/p>\n<p>Are you freaking kidding me?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that I&#8217;m going to have to keep up with this nose to the grindstone thing until FEBRUARY?! And even THEN, I won&#8217;t have enough for 4 pieces of tier?!<\/p>\n<p>This is the third reset right now. I&#8217;ve missed two days of daily randoms on Madrana and have missed out on one boss fight (2 emblems). I&#8217;m six emblems down and two of them aren&#8217;t my fault. I cannot continue to lose out on emblems like this or it&#8217;s going to take another 2 weeks of dailies to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>This is ridiculous. I need to talk to my RL friend about stuff and how if the guild isn&#8217;t going to assure its members that it takes into raid of full emblems, I&#8217;ll just pug &#8212; to better the guild. How dumb is that? I&#8217;m working MY ass off to be able to get &#8220;Your Holy Shock spell causes the next Holy Light you cast within 10 sec to have 0.3 sec reduced cast time.&#8221; as my 4pc set bonus. Who do you really think is going to benefit from that? That&#8217;s right. THE TANKS WHOSE ASSES I AM KEEPING ALIVE. And they can&#8217;t even assure me that I&#8217;ll get all my badges in a week?<\/p>\n<p>I spend a lot of time thinking about guilds and communities and some of the failures I&#8217;ve seen. I can point to where and why each guild I&#8217;ve been in has done poorly or broken up. I know exactly where the problems were.<\/p>\n<p>In this guild, the problems lie in communication. Plain and simple. They need a communications officer to express to the guild what the officers are thinking and planning. If I can be blamed for anything in the past, *lack* of communication was never one of my faults, so this drives me absolutely bonkers.<\/p>\n<p>10-mans. I knew they were a bad idea from the start, when I had to split up my guild into two Kara groups based on availability, social cohesion, group makeup, the ability to summon Nightbane and, oh yeah, skill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So why am I bitching when I got an achievement?
