I was all set up.....loot stowed/sold...full of heals...on a five person team when we hear the shout out for...another EG raid. Our team starts discussing rapidly whether we will give up a mish and xp for some true benefit for someone else and of course we will...bc we are EG, good ppl, and that's what we are all about, helping one another.
Fox waits at the grid shouting to leave team once in...I navigate slowly through the narrow paths of the fg...hoping to hell i don't fall and have to start again. Wondering...where in the heck i am going...which floor...what exit....and which mob this time. Maybe I received to many tells to know R from L.....9 DAV m...or EFP...gahhh, someone plz tell me where to go. This is how it feels to be a n00b raider but I find it so exciting and irresistable all the same.
I arrive finally and the excitement is starting, the forming of teams, the lights and sounds of endless buffs....the plans start rolling on chat....and then...WAIT... ok wait....and just a lil more WAIT...but I am hanging tough...eager for some action and then I notice OMG my ncu's are almost out....there is no fixer on my team....ahhh panic.... *fixer yelling he is ready to pull*....someone screaming for him at wa grid at the same time....this is when I laugh to myself and say..."it's a game, be patient"...because otherwise I might just give up....about ...what seems to be 50 placeholders later...EG towers are mugged by some omni bitches and....goood grief agan my chance is gone to see "the one we are raiding" brought down....alas it is a goal of mine to start and finish a raid in the near future.
