I want to post a substantial thank you to the DM/GM team and in particular Nova and Amaris. Yashilla's ECDQ gets ran early in the morning/late in the evening for everyone involved it seems. People aren't necessarily thinking clearly or well as a result. Not to mention that the ECDQ is supposed to be a substantial challenge with out all of that.
It seems too often folks are behind the scenes griefing over DM/GMs about inequity and things of the like. I know based on what I've heard that some view my character as being favored by some of the GM's or is at least compliments I've received on how I play Yashilla are perceived as that. Last night depicted in no way a favoritism. In fact, and I'm embarrassed to say this, last night is the first time I had to call for a pause in a quest event due to my frustration getting too high.
Why am I saying this? I've endorsed the team before and whenever the smallest bit of doubt rises within me, I am again impressed by the maturity and evenhandedness of the team. Last night was no exception. It is not easy to be on the listening side of a rant. Believe you me I ranted. What came of it? Little, when it came to the quest itself and I think all would agree that is appropriately so. One shouldn't be able to rant and have it result in progress. That could and should be dubbed as maniupulative. However, A LOT CAME in terms of interpersonal understanding. Communcation was more clear and a grander sense of respect for one another was exemplified. It is real easy to take the short way out for a quick justification payoff. However, we did it the long way and all was much greater as a result.
My deepest apologies to those who experienced me at the height of my frustration: Lia, Celgar, and Goldwin. My deepest gratitude to both Nova and Amaris for being willing and patient enough to see through frustrations and work through misunderstandings. I think I'm almost back to square one in the quest, however, having been heard and doing some listening myself, I am happy to say, it will continue to be an enjoyable experience. After all that is what the team is here for. So...
THANK YOU Layo Team. It's been a good ride and all signs point to it continuing to be so. You will continue to have my support.
Sincerely and much Respect.
