So Much Raiding, So Little Time

While I’ve always considered myself a strong raider, I’ve always done my best to keep a handle on the amount of time I dedicate to the game. It is after all, just a game, and it is very important to not spend too much time playing.

That being said I am a total completionist, and I’ll admit, a bit of an addict when it comes to this game we all know and love. This is why I am beginning to struggle with the new content patch. I know in a matter of months I will likely be QQing about the lack of content available… but for right now, I am overwhelmed!

A big part of my problem is I can’t decide if I would rather do 10-man progression or 25-man progression. So I do what any good WoW fanatic would do, and try and do both, which in my guild equals out to about 6 nights a week of raiding.

That is a pretty large jump up from what I am used to, and the first few weeks I tried to make that happen it started taking a toll on me.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not some helpless junkie that can’t get a grip on his time… I can quit anytime I want to :) ! But the fact is I want to see both versions of Yogg go down, and there are plenty of loot upgrades for me in both versions on the instance.

Fact is I am just stuck in that rare window of new content where 10-mans are still important to farm, and 25-mans still need work to progress. Eventually I know that I will completely outgear 10-mans and have no reason to go back, but I fear the hard modes will extend that window further than it usually gets extended.

At this point it is clear to me I am going to have to start making some choices. What is important now, and furthermore where am I having the most fun? 10s or 25s? I realize I can’t do it all no matter how bad I want to!

How are you other raiders doing in this department? Are you accomplishing everything you want to? Or do you find yourself in the same place where there are not enough hours in the day (or at least enough gaming hours)?

I’d be curious to know your choice, because it is time for me to make mine!
