When Shadowlands opened I kinda wanted to have a pocket pick that I could play if I wanted to do something where I would only do stuff that would in my own interest, or somewhat egocentrical, if other stuff got to be a chore. And just to experience what non-TH life is like. Just like I did a few months into season 4 of bfa when the raiding in TH was over. And mage has always been pretty fun, was really good during all of beta (all specs really) and would not be pestered to tank like I always was on Esmë in the guild. But oh boy this whole idea has kinda crashed.
m+/raiding
The guild started pretty hard with raiding the day the season started, and I think they had 3-4 raid nights the first two weeks. I only did one raid in week 2 that was Shriekwing/Huntsman/Hungering/Darkvein, but I think the guild cleared up to council. Then it went on a break over the holidays, and killed Shriekwing heroic on first day of return (with a lot of wipes) and did up to and including Sun King normal that I attended. I have missed a raid since so don't know what status is right now. Issue is it's pretty hard to show up for anything when days gets pushed around a lot, don't know what is actually being done or anything. My character is frost at the moment which is in the dumpster for raids, so didn't exactly pull my weight a lot in heroic, and would not have signed if I knew that beforehand. The fact that raid is horrible for gearing makes having a second raid character seem pretty moot.
m+ not been that much better. There used to be an m+ night that isn't there anymore. And groups rarely go by guild chat either, so it's pugging or playing with TH people when they need a dps for like +5s or something. Which sorta defeats the whole point. This is not a self sustaining character. I've quit even trying to interact with the guild except raidlog or not even think about guildchat when I do a dungeon. And I prefer frost, which is average at best for dungeons, so jumping over to fire would mean even more effort. I'm usually fine for 4/5/6 at the moment but higher it starts to be a bit iffy.
So putting effort into this character is turning more and more questionable, since the payoff is so low. Which I already thought of when I made goals and didn't include it. So will have to see if it has any progress at all in a month compared to current status...
