5 years ago if you said "Paladins are going to tank." You'd get laughed at and flamed right out of whatever chat channel, or forum you were in.

Bump ahead to BC. If you said "Paladins are going to work equally effective as Warriors as Maintanks." You'd get flamed into the dirt so bad.

Notice I didn't put the word "Druid" in there anywhere, that's because in...

I was reminded why I really don't visit any other type of forums that have the chance of Tanking Threads....

Were not going to mention trolls, they're almost everywhere. Thankfully here at tankspot, that's something very far and few between.

The other class of folks include....
-Oldschool Thinkers (lol look bringing a warrior is the only way, nobody good seriously takes anything else.)

-Ignorant posts of things like "lol look spell power...

My friend's guild ended up not panning out, in fact their GM disbanded the guild altogether.

So I ended up joining another guild at the request of a person I had tanked with in the past. This was also the start for me as just a regular member of a guild, no position of leadership, not an officer etc etc. In fact the way they speak on vent tells you right away, they love to make ruckus all the time, during random non-fighting moments, pulls, boss fights, always loud, always chattering...

My guild recently disbanded, I won't go into specifics, however its important to note that we were going to rebuild under a new name, however a guild member rushed ahead of us and scooped up his "selected" homeys. Which of course didn't include any of us officers lol.

ANYWAYS. We ended up making a guild <Pig and Elephant> which is totally just a home for the few of us left over, that really felt after 4 years give or take per member of raiding, that we needed a breather...

Yesterday our guild was pretty much bored. The GM had been out for the night, gruul and mag were down. Ssc and Tk was for the most part done. Soooo I took 25 online folks, Mainly casual ranked members into Hyjal.
We initially just went in to kill trash mobs. I even made it a point to announce that it was just that, playing around with trash mobs and nobody should be getting wound up if we wipe alot or complain about a repair bill.
But whoopsie oh my Progression happened!
