Its just like everything else..

And just like that, *click* i'm not having too much fun with Rift.
Maybe its just the mood i'm in, or the lowered guild attendance, but I just don't seem to enjoy it as much as I normally do.
I spent one night trying to get the "Dances with Squirrels" title for my Dominator specc, only to die constantly and waste a good hour in lowbie areas (still couldn't find the squirrels either).
The past two nights i've been losing every single warfront. Granted they're all pugs, but when its your own teammates *cough Mclovin@Sunrest cough* that is the most annoying part, there is a problem.
Lack of healers.. whiney turtlers.. and complainey rogues... just makes for a not fun night.

le sigh

Having enough healers is one of the most important things imho to winning pvp.
I picked Defiant on Faeblight so that I could (1) join my fellow bloggers in a guild and (2) because Defiants seemed to be alot cooler than the zealot Guardians.
What I failed to realize, just like Warhammer Online, in my opinion, the 'good' side tends to have more people inclined to heal rather than dps. In most matches, there is only 1 or 2 clerics, and most rogues don't use bard. Remember, a dead dps does zero dps.

My brother's interesting take: It doesn't matter how good you are, what matters is how bad your worst players are.
My brother and his friends play Modern Warfare 2 online and slaughters his competition. He normally has a 5:1 kill ratio and in the original Modern Warfare, he got 2 nuclear bombs (like a 25 kill steak NON sniper) in consecutive matches. He says, that even though him and his friends are killing machines, they occasionally lose b/c their teammates die so much and drag the team down.
Observing what is happening in these warfronts, I do agree, these people that complain in the warfront does a double whammy: 1) they aren't playing, so thats like being short one player and 2) their negativity can/will affect other players on the SAME team.

I'm taking a break for a short while.
