Tuesday was it, the last straw. I can't take HoT anymore. This was my 16th trip in 8 weeks. During that time I have witnessed exactly FIVE chain drops. A pair of boots (already had), 3 bracers (won two), and arms (lost the roll). Armor drops about once every nine mobs. Chain drops once out of ten armor drops. That means, on average, chain drops once every ninety dragons, or about 2.5 raids.

I worry about being seen as selfish for quitting with only two raids left, but I have been there to help gear up all the plate wearers include new guildies and people who only come once in a while. We have had so much silk that it is regularly going for cash loot. We equipped a 46 druid who had no business being in ToV (KOS even) in an almost full set. One chain drop: arms, but I lost the roll to a guy who guilded at the beginning of the raid. ARGH. I am not mad at him or the guild, the policies are as fair as we can devise, but my frustration with the amount of time I have spent in ToV versus the reward is huge. Even considering that this armor farming will let us kill bigger and better mobs for bigger and better loot.

So, I am done, as is Bianca, who only needed one peice anyway and that was not a huge upgrade for her even. I am looking at other options to get my AC and resists high enough to participate in the next round of guild raids.
