Frustration, Guild Style

Loot or guild renown?  That decision is easy...when you aren't given a choice.

Geoff Hanna says he has the worst loot luck...but then he turns around and rolls (2) "jackpots" - in a row, mind you - with the daily dice.  Me?  I got nothin'...'specially on Argonnessen.

Here it is +30% guild renown bonus weekend, so I log-in to Argo to grab some nice, fat guild renown  bonuses to get my little, one-man guild up closer to level 10.  I even run quests under level in hopes of getting more than just "heroic deeds".  But it didn't work.  In fact, while running some of the Gianthold quests (did I mention I was under level?), I found most of the in-quest chests had no renown whatsoever.  Not to mention that the end reward list for "Prisoner of the Planes" (PoP) had none, either.

*Grumble* *grumble* *grumble*

Wouldn't have been as bad had I at least pulled some decent loot.  But, no.  No named loot; not even anything "useful" - for me.  Maybe someone else will find it useful - it's all on the AH, at reasonable prices, too.

Well, at least going around and killing a bunch of mobs gave some minor renown.  I did manage to eke out enough to go from high-level 7 to just cracking level 8 (which was only about 1.5k total).  Good thing I didn't spend any TP on a guild elixir, 'cuz that would have made it suck even that much more.
