Thank you for all the great experiences

Post#1 » 06 Mar 2017, 17:02

First off, I'd like to say my apologies to all the people on weekend and in the guild for anything that I've said or done over the past 3 years of my time in the guild. I'd like to say an apology to the weekend team guys for my sudden departure on Saturday which may have started much of what has just concluded today. Bell and I had a lengthy chat last night about of lot of stuff which had happened over the past 2 years and mostly past year (since last June, for veteran weekend peeps, the HFC log reviews) and how we had both failed to recognize both sides of the argument. Since I didn't really explain myself after I left the raid team on saturday, I'd like to write down a few comments even though as many people have told me I am no longer a part of this community, I will always consider myself part of it.

Secondly, I'd like to share a bit of my side of the coin for those who are interested. As you guys know for the past two years of my life I've been a part of the community of the weekend raid team and the guild as whole for nearly 3 years. I joined the PM team as a young 16 year old feeling ready to prove myself on the stormrage raiding scene where I was approached by a PM member named buellers (who had recently apped again this expansion). I'd like to thank numi and alitar (and raconlock) for allowing me the chance to be apart of AM. However, as I became a member of the guild I agree with all of the old and new members who knew me as the cocky asshole who would make sure that my opinions were heard. Not all of the time were my opinions or specifically the time that I expressed them warranted. Especially (as many of you know) my opinion of rankings (which I assure was never my intent to cause rifts at the time that it created). When many of my friends left PM for various reasons, I joined the recently created "bells team" when it had started it's second heroic raid in late December 2014. I started out as a monk healer, but eventually transitioned to my warlock.

To cut a long story short, there were multiple times that I put in my two weeks on the weekend team, 3 to be exact. I had originally intended that the very first two weeks would be my very last time a part of a raiding team in guild. Fortunately, the friends I had come to know on the weekend and also, part of the PM team convinced me that if I could figure out my issues with school, that I'd be able to return which I indeed did in BRF during mythic progression. Moving on, most people understood my decision to leave for Death Jesters and how I actually preferred the community of Ante Meridiem over the success of raiding at a more hardcore level with Death Jesters.

Over my time in guild, I believe I was much too much a polarizing figure within the community that i should've been, and although I don't regret the decisions I made, I have hoped that I have made enough friends to last from both sides of the argument even after my departure on Saturday. It was an extremely difficult decision (although many would disagree since I had left the team once before, corresponding to me actually gquitting) to leave the community that has honestly been the only community I have ever played with in this game. I may have left the incorrect way by leaving after Saturday with no two weeks notice, but as many of you know, I would not have done it to harm the team. It pains me a tremendous amount to see what has happened to a team that I had been a part of since the beginning despite some "facts" that have stated that I have not been.

Thank you for everything, everyone has done for me between helping me grow as a person (peejo, ogriku, sublime and evo, and special mention to Jdaddy) as well as the others that have consistently been there for me whenever I have logged online. Good luck with many of you who I may not see anymore, and to others, you can always keep in touch (if you want, negative or positive).

EDIT: For any weekend people who read this, this is for you guys:

Good luck Mag. I hope I can play with you again in the future. Never lose sight of what is important. We were your nerd family and will always be no one holds anything against you. I don't even think I was 16 when this game came out fuck I am getting old. Regardless hopefully see you at the #1 spot someday.

Best of luck Mag. As I mentioned to you last night during our.. 2 hour conversation... I do not hate you, or anyone else for that matter. I accept that I am just as guilty as anyone else for the end result and wish you the best. You are an exceptional player, I'll never say otherwise, and your performance alone warrants you a spot in a server top 5 guild. I was happy to have you on the team... you may have been a bit negative at times, but everyone has their personalities and that's what made the team great.

Maybe someday we can collaborate on something together wow related or note, that would definitely be cool.

Take care and please keep in touch.
