New Guild

Got the heads up last week from Kozmo, an officer of Challenge Accepted, that since 16-man attendance was a little wonky they'd be focusing on 8-mans for progression--which, as a relatively new recruit, would basically leave me permabenched--so we both agreed I oughtta look for a new guild so my 50s roster wouldn't remain idle.  No passive-aggressive angst there either, just tellin' it like it is; the CA guys were a pretty rad bunch to hang out with and I'm glad I got to run through at least some hard mode 16-mans with 'em.

Although it was just brought to my attention by the GM of my new guild, Darkhorse of Memories of Xendor, that 16-mans do NOT drop proportionally more loot than 8-mans, ie you get the same amounts of Rakata tokens--and thus less recipes and mount drops--from 16-mans.

So yeah, I've been picked up by Memories of Xendor for some ranged DPS.  Looks like I'll mostly be continuing the Sniper-ing I did for CA (quick aside: haha, just noticed Memories of Xendor = MoX, which explains all of the Magic: The Gathering mox references in the Mumble server).  As soon as I wrap up my Assassin (3/4 through 46, ~1/3 through Corellia) I'll be putting a rush on my Sorcerer to have a full complement of ranged DPS to choose from.

(Second aside: I was getting that Strength datacron as I was passing through Labor Valley on my Assassin when I came across a level 13 Republic Trooper wandering about.  I followed him a bit, then ganked him.  He then came back a few seconds later, this time move hacking through the area.  Intra-aside-aside: Last time I was leveling through Corellia I noticed there were several level 11-13 characters on Corellia.  I suspected they were probably gold-sellers so I put in a ticket to let Bioware know that the gold-sellers seem to have moved on to Corellia since they nuked all the easy craft nodes on Ilum.  Got a response to the ticket a few days later thanking me for reporting gold-sellers...on Ilum.  Sigh.  I'd do a triple-aside here about the customer support's canned responses but I don't know where I put the relevant screenshot...)

Thanks again to the bros at Challenge Accepted for having me along for a while and to the dudes at Memories of Xendor for the invite.  Links to both guilds' websites can be found over to the right.
