oh wooow..WoW...

I caught the itch.  The itch every single ex WoW addict gets once in awhile.
You think you're over it.  You've stopped playing World of Warcraft.  You feel really good, almost as if a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders..You no longer have to stress and worry about getting your weekly done, you dont have to worry about raiding, delving deep into Ice Crown Citadel, or even the occasional gank fest.
Mainly, for me at least, I forgot the boredom associated with Monday night World of Warcraft playing.
Monday nights consisted of me whining about server resets, along with having nothing to do but farm for my professions, because I'm locked to EVERY dungeon I was given the opportunity to run.

But back to the original subject..I got the itch again.  I had the urge to renew my subscription, even though I knew about 24 hours would consist of downloading a huge 4gig patch because my internet is extremely slow.
I started it up, squeeled with excitement, only to find that they had removed the portals in Dalaran, and Orgrimmar was admittedly amazing, but far to complex.  Whatever, no big issue, I re-did my talents, changed up my casting bars to fit the advice I was given, and joined a random heroic.

Ok, dont get me wrong, I am no WoW goddess.  My main, a Retribution Paladin has a "gearscore" of 5600, not bad, but I could easily do better.  I should be doing adequate damage in the random I joined, but no...I was getting frustrated because they took out the seals I used, they screwed with my blessings...
Blizzard literally turned me from a seasoned WoW player, to a complete noob within the amount of time it takes to log on and select a character.

It seems, the more simple blizz tries to make this game, the harder and more disappointing it gets.
But don't get me wrong, I'll buy Cataclysm.  I don't foresee myself getting utterly addicted to the game again, but who knows.  Perhaps rolling an alliance Worgen will make me fall in love with the game again.  (WHY the horde got goblins is beyond me..I'm going to roll an ally character, and become a traitor!!)

This evening was filled with disappointment and sadness.

Emptiness...

I'm just being dramatic now.  Lets hope I can get the hang of this, otherwise it will be a huge waste of 15.00 which I sure could use for groceries and rent ;P
