Blood Legion is leaving the competitve raiding scene.
Wow.
They were top guild in NA for the duration of my WoW career.
Wow.
holy shit what
A lot of the top end guilds are having problems right now. Especially in the US. In order to compete in the top spectrum you literally need to raid more hours than a full time job. We’re talking 7 days a week and some guilds do it for 16+ hours a day.
You’re running the exact same raid upwards to 4-5 times a week just to funnel loot into a few folks per raid at the start of every tier as well.
Even in my former guild just one tier later I stepped back in to help with one of those “split raids” and I couldn’t recognize half the names. The burnout is that high.
With Blood Legion in particular they lost several key members such as Shinafae, Landsoul and thatonerogueIcan’tremember along with the general burnout. Rigg himself posted last tier he was extremely unhappy and I swear I thought he quit. There was absolutely no way they were going to be able to keep the momentum up with so many key folks getting hit with burnout.
The competitive scene is killing itself with it’s own expectations. This is the consequence. As somebody who has been surrounded by people in the top scene for the past 2 years I can see what it’s doing to itself and how it’s affecting the people who play at that level. Especially those with jobs and families.
Personally I’m just happy they did the right thing and put their personal lives ahead of the game.
