Three months ago Motive killed the first of many hard modes available in Ulduar 10. As of Thursday this week we have completed the Glory to the Ulduar Hero (10 man) achievement and received our Rusted Proto-Drakes. Big deal right? I know 3 months isn't exactly a short period of time to do fairly easy task but there were, as always, complications along the way. To be perfectly honest only two fights really seemed "hard" and they were Mimiron (fuck) and Freya. I am not one to get excited or "nerd out" over a kill but I have to say doing this achievement (specifically mimiron) really did feel good.
I never thought we would complete this achievement, I never planned on it. However thanks to some urging from a few people and the dedication of the guild we pulled through despite raiding a mere 2 nights a week. I would like to thank those who stuck it out and made this happen even when I thought it would not. I would also like to thank those that came and have left, including my good friend Mike who has moved into the real world finally!
I formed Motive under the idea of casual 10 man raiding would be fun and interesting. I was dead wrong. The philosophy of doing 10 man content to raid with my friends and pugging 25 man content to get gear seemed backwards. Our second week in full clearing ToC 10 we disenchanted all but 1-2 drops. Awesome eh?
Because of this Motive will now disband and move to 25 man raiding. We will join some our old server mates in a 25 man guild and hopefully have a better time there! I know the Horde are ugly as shit but...FOR THE HORDE!
