Sad to say, this will be my first and last TSO raid post. As some of you already know, i compete in bodybuilding locally here in the midwest and have been off and on for a few years. I have realized that as much as i enjoy this game and being considered a top coercer i can't see myself juggling high end hc raiding with living a healthy lifestyle. I appreciate all of the comments/tells/pms that you guys have sent and i will still check here and there to see how you are all doing.
As much as i will miss fighting kaimira,revel,sajen,parable and many more to see who's the highest parsing coercer out there i dont think i would have been able to maintain the top parse for long as this community of corcers has grown so much and knowledge shared back and forth that everyone now knows how to truly maximize their coercer in a raid setting.
I most likely will be raiding casually come 2009 however i have been playing with such an eliete guild for almost a year i doubt that i will have the patience to deal with casual players as imo i think it's very hard to play with such a high standard of protocol and skill only to 'step down' and see if that high standard can be implemented with casual/medicore players ( not saying that all casual are medicore - but i think you get the point)
all i know is that whatever i choose to do - it will definitely be a dramatic change that will not allow me to stay on top as a ww coercer so without further ado here it is
