And I opened my eyes again. . .

This time, with a new guild (The One Eyed Dragon) I started to learn the game. I learned about questhelper, and various addons that helped me not only to level, but to optimise my class. I found it a lot easier levelling from 25 where I left the little noob hunter, and ploughed my way to 80 where she became a fully, err, grown? Dwarf Hunter.
Soon, the guildies were dragging me through heroics. I watched as my dps slowly climbed from 200 dps right up to 5k. Then we started hitting raids. I had never done a raid before. And here I was in one. It was a bizarre feeling being in teamspeak, and finding out the tha Guild Master was a female. Not only a female, but one in her 50's. And there was me worried about being in my early 30's.
The guild was doing well, but there was one bugbare that made me take my first break from the game. When Ulduar opened, the officers would not do guild runs. Instead, only having officer runs. 'to learn it so we can teach you'. I thought this was a bit unfair as as usual it meant they got all the good loot early, then we would play catch up. Especially as I was number 4 hunter in the group.

Let me explain that bit. There was 4 hunters in the guild. Dew, Fatalclaw, Miffy and me, Daffodill. Fatal was best hunter. But Dew was class leader and hated that Fatal beat him on DPS and hated that I ignored Dews advice, and took Fatals. Miffy was Dews Squeeze. She was lower geared than I. Dew had all the top gear. Fatal, was in the middle. And I was between fatal and Miffy. In a raid. if a hunter piece dropped, Dew would roll on them despite already having all naxx gear. Rolls were based on DKP so he had a lot more points then me and would always win the gear. BUT he would give it to miffy. It got to the point where I didn't bother rolling. Fearne (GM) /w me one day asking why I wasn't rolling. Miffy had rolled. Fatal didn't need it. I did, and dew was silent. I said to her 'because if I do, Dew will roll and win it for Miffy'
'Don't be daft' she said.
So I rolled, dew rolled as well. Miffy got 8, I got 49 and dew got 70. And he gave it to miffy. I got the following response from fearne:
'Oh....'
The next raid, Fearne asked dew to step down as he already had all the naxx gear and we didn't really need 4 hunters. For some reason, miffy didn't go either. I got 4 new pieces that raid.

Anyway, so after having a falling out with the guild, I left for another break.
