As one of the few people from WLPH who was loved by everyone, never pissed off anybody, and left on good terms, I feel compelled to say that despite everyone's shit, you guys are all pretty nifty people in your own ways. I may not have the e-badassery that the rest of you front all the time, but that's just because I'm so freaking confident in real life. So that's why I feel comfortable saying the following-
Abe, you're nothing if not loyal. You always look to do what's best for the guild, as a whole, even at the expense of your own happiness or sense of pride. You're a sincere guy that never gets to shine, because you are constantly having to put up an e-badass shield to defend against the ravenous hoards you employ. I haven't been around in a long, long time, so everything I say has to be taken with that understanding. That said, maybe this new WLPH doesn't have the talent or the determination that we did way back when, and maybe you're fighting a losing battle trying to get back to that point. Maybe it's all in vain, and perhaps the only thing keeping it alive is your own determination and strength of will, but that's only going to last so long. It seems to me like you're not as happy as you used to be, because in my eyes you were only as happy as the people in your guild, and as proud as our progression permitted. All I ask is that you keep trying to get back to that place, because that's where you're going to be happiest, and by proxy where the people of WLPH will be happiest, too.
Hitshade, you lovable tramp. Not only do I enjoy your witty banter and sarcastic wit, but the way you make your points really gels with me. I love that sense of slight melodrama to really help drive something home, especially something you're passionate about. I see the sincerity in your words, I can tell you care and you're trying to help. I don't want to tarnish your spotless reputation as the ultimate tough guy in WLPH, but I see that big softy hiding behind that sexually satisfied woman avatar, and I know how much he's hurting right now. He's hurting because his friends, his pride, and his passion for this guild are suffering. But here's the thing, man. Abe doesn't get it like I do. Your communication style doesn't fit right with him, it's not how he learns or absorbs information. Does it make him a bad leader, or you a bad communicator? Absolutely not. But if you really want to help, Hitshade, and I know you do, you need to adjust your methods. Find a way to express your concerns in a way that Abe is going to respect, relate to, and ultimately respond to. Listen to your friend Shar, he knows what he's talking about.
Everyone else, Staff of Endless Winter or GTFO. Also, I never wiped any raid, ever. Bye forever.
