I never get my pallies past lvl 20. I even specced ret and didn't like it. I think I'd like prot though. I love prot pally tanks, but they become 3rd banana when you hit raiding unfortunately.
My old guildmates want me to transfer to Korgath or at least one of my 70s to Korgath and start raiding there. Some of them are already there doing Black Temple stuff and wearing tier 6, but raiding life just doesn't interest me anymore. It'll be sad to see them go, because this server BLOWS and more of the good alliance population transfers off due to the population imbalance getting way out of hand. I don't see why Blizzard doesn't close new player creations on one side when population difference gets past 60-40.
I mean it is so bad, that I don't play my druid at all unless its a weekly 5v5 for some arena points or someone needs leatherworking. Every time I log on to my druid and talk in like general ro trade chat, I get recognized and tons of whispers because alliance is that desperate for geared non-distinguished mentally-challenged players. Yesterday I log on to make someone some crafting items, I get called out on trade chat by people I don't even know. Today I log on to my druid for 5v5 and trade chat starts chanting "EMPTY WHERE THE FUCK YOU BEEN"/ Then I get whispers from people, asking for arena team joins or whatever, then my old guild whispers me about the transfer offer and has me join a vent for a meeting on the thing. Nobody knows I still play because I hide on my alts and level them to 70.
Tonight I go into a Durnholde zerg run, healing as elemental shaman, but I knew the people and knew they were geared. They didn't know who I was. Fifteen minutes they ask me to join their guild, so I say I can't because I am GM of my guild. They say "ironchefz is in your guild dude, bring ironchef with you" and I am like.. I am ironchef. So they ask to merge my guild. I say I am also Emptybox and they go WTF.
It's not that I am awesome, it is just things are so desperate that I have three characters worth recruiting and outside of my druid are averagely geared, but the selection is so few on alliance side that my value is inflated. This is what has basically killed every major alliance guild on my server. Just not enough people to raid, not enough decent 70s for more than one major guild at a time and right now that guild is a guild I could get into, and have plenty of friends who would get me in or try to get me to join, but I don't want to frikken raid anything but 10man. Nor do I want to pay to transfer to raid.
ANYWAYS
PD, I've been saving on to some tanking greens that I don't know if you need or not, but remind me if you log on.
Also, I got my Glad War Staff on my lock from AV weekend, my Shaman has about 12k honor right now building up to buy stuff when she hits 70 and my druid is a week away from arena S3 headpiece to replace my t4 PVE headpiece.
