Progressing in this game actually fucking sucks ass
got to around 5.6k gs by myself, without doing any raids. tried to get into several guilds, either I didn’t meet the reqs, which are fucking stupidly outrageous, or run prinarily HC raids, which I don’t have the gear for. Any sort of NA guild I’ve joined has barely any people to fill even a 10 man for progression, let alone 25 man raids. Try to pug, but guess what? everything in the raid is fucking reserved, or you have some cunt who rolls on shit they literally do not need. the most I’ve gotten is a shitter ass staff for my mage. can’t even get enough frost emblems because people will get angry and leave mid raid or some bullshit, so the cycle continues. makes playing the game at this point feel insufferable. kind of understand why people just go to buying items to skip the gearing up portion
