first off, I think Guild Portal's site is broken. I can't even update the welcome note for my guild. It saves, but doesn't update the page and I have Super Admin access.
On that note, I think this will become my new WoW blog as Blogger has been reliable and is highly customizable.
Now the bulk of the post on which I wanted to cover.
Last night I made the comment to our main tank, Sheltem, that sometimes your ability to down raid bosses is less about your knowledge and gear and more about who you know. This came after I got asked to go to a Cho'gall run with Longjohnboom, one of the noteable Trade Chat trolls on our server. Longjohn is a really good player who knows his toons and being asked directly to run with him was kind of an honor. I ended up recruiting Sheltem to come tank and after about 5 tries I finally got Mirax her Bastion of Twilight achievement. Shelt had to agree with me on my comment about it matters who you know.
I've been on my server for over two years now and have been active the whole time, but I primarily only do things with my guild. During Wrath a rogue kept asking me to go run things with him like Ulduar hardmodes for the drake and Trial of the Grand Crusader runs. But that was only one character. And now with Blizzard's introduction on Real ID friends it's easier to keep track of people you like running with. Unlike Longjohn, all my toons don't start with the same prefix. However, if someone knows Star Wars Rogue Squadron female characters my naming scheme makes sense (except Mirax should be Human not Draenei.)
Anyways, my lesson here is that it doesn't hurt to make friends with the trolls on your server. They might just lead you to new opportunities.
