Sorry for the downer, but it's been that kind of weekend for Keya.

Keya gained a third Legendary recently. There was some initial excitement, but it was a pair of shoes. Keya is already wearing legendary shoes. So a wasted legendary is tossed into a corner or obliterated into dust.

        It is harder to work up the will to complete tasks, conquer world quests, fight for rep and all the other facets of the daily grind when the purpose of it all seems beyond elusive.

        The every other day Legion invasions are tiresome and without interest. Kill, clean up, and drag your loot home. Billions of artifact power piled in great towers, but it doesn't help her. Like some dragon in it's den - but a false dragon, for the AP is useless to her.

        The world of the Broken Shores itself repeats itself over and over.

        Keya stays away from the Scenarios but has to take some of them in order to do other things. She did not make friends on those runs, though in the end she did get them done.

At long last Keya reached Exalted rep with Legionfall and can begin her series of quests to earn her demon hunter class mount. She rushed into Mardum and glided smoothly to the foot of Mother Malevolence to pick up the first quest in the series - To Fel and Back.  But Mother Malevolence just stood there, ignoring her. She gave no quest.

All that work, and she is denied even her class mount.

There is little to look forward to. Pathfinder Part One is mostly done, but there is little will to finish. What would be the point?

Keya doesn't know what PvP battlegrounds look like these days, but she guesses they are nothing like the old days.  Keya's one little surprise came over the weekend with a raucous crowd at the Stormwind Auction House. As all know, attacks on the Auction House by the opposing side is frequent. Since Chaitee handles that task, she sees it a lot but can't do anything about it at her level. That is until this night, when Keya decided to hang out at the Auction House with her  PvP set for action. Keya stayed for two assaults, killed two Horde, and managed not to die.

But it seems Pathfinder Part Two is the killing stroke. She will leave to others the Legion dungeons and raids. Unable to fly or get her class mount, Keya has no role there.

The next patch, 7.3, will arrive on August 29th. There will be a chance to attack the Legion Homeworld. Imagine the irony, the twist of the knife in the gut, that on the Legion Homeworld Keya will be denied flying there, too. Unlike the Legion, who will certainly have airborne demons in the sky. 

Keya will stay around long enough to see this Legion Homeworld. Maybe she'll stay there.

Maybe she won't come back.

  1. It does seem all these games have turned into utter grind fest these days.

  2. Hey Martin! Yea, it had gotten to be a grind. I have to say tho that the new patch looks good - and some problem areas went away that have really frustrated me. See the latest post today.
