BIG mistake
Sometimes even the best of us make mistakes..
Ok I was running around felwood when I was off sick, amid a haze of antibiotics and pain killers, when a guildmate (more appropriately the leader) asked if I’d like to get “run through” .. I dunno now.. scholomance?
Anywho I fell out of my chair and quickly responded affirmatively. Things were going relatively crappy (that place is nuts), but the experience was good. Then I had a RL issue occur, kid related. So I went afk. Things got much more out of hand than I thought they would and in the end, I got back 16 minutes later. Well I was back but everyone else was not only gone from the instance, but gone from the game as well.
#1.. I hate it when people do that. It hasn’t happened often that I’d been screwed in a group, but it has happened, and those ppl got 2 in game days to get some sort of explanation to me. Otherwise they got /ignored.
#2 I have only 2 times had this occur to me (hey, kids.. they’re a priority, period), and the first time the group sucked majorly anyway, so I apologized to the person I felt was carrying the team besides me and went on and just forgot it.
This time was different, I was in a charity run for experience and some loot. And I felt crappy for letting someone down who was basically doing something boring (for him) to help others (including me) out. I felt terrible. I FEEL terrible. I sent them all relatively decent amounts of gold as an apology, since I can’t be sure they parted without cursing my name. I had no demotion in the guild (luckily), but I am still unhappy with what happened. The leader got the lionshare of the gold I sent, mostly cause he went out of his way to get me in this place, and did all the work (the other team mates there were low like me and couldn’t really deal much in the way of damage). I know at least one of you guys preaches on the scum of teams that do this kinda crap, and I am sure I’ll get a big negative on the comments for it.. Just tell me, when you preach.. if you’ve done it before, how’d you recover? and How would you allot for someone to recover if they did it to you?
