Shihli — Thu, 04/09/2009 - 20:30And that's exactly the problem, Lorb.
(DISCLAIMER - I'm not singling anyone out, nor am I saying anyone's behaving in the manner that I am about to detail. This post comes from over four years of being involved in raid organization and three years of mixed raid leadership, as well as a generally pessimistic view of the human condition)
People who bail because "the current content is boring" are the same people that bail because "the guild has changed" or "I'm not having fun anymore."
It's easy to quit when the going is tough, or worse yet - when there's nowhere really to go. It's even easier to do so after you've gotten all the loot you want. It's also quite easy to expect that your raid spot will be opened right up for you when the next big thing comes out.
It's far, far more difficult to be the raid leader/organizer and watch a significant portion of your raid burn out, or - as the case may be in some cases - wimp out because "it's boring."
All I'm saying is, people need to be evaluating the reason behind why they are choosing to take a vacation or not. If the reason is because you're not having fun raiding, do you think Ulduar will fix that?
If the reason is because you have the gear you want, Ulduar won't fix that either - because then you'll get a different set of gear, then opt out once you've had your fill. Gear is temporary, there will ALWAYS be something better. Always.
But if the reason is legitimate burn out, that you're not having fun - I (and the guild) can respect that.
I'm going to make a
garreth — Thu, 04/09/2009 - 17:16I'm going to make a "Recommitting to Salmon" post so we can drum up the 100% regular people (trust me, they're out there). Who do I put in charge of this raid?
Garreth, I could be wrong but
Lorb — Thu, 04/09/2009 - 17:44Garreth, I could be wrong but I think alot of regulars want to take it easy for a while. Give others a chance to get in some runs and to still fill in to have fun and help. This is what I gathered from our "over an hour" talk the other night. To "lock" in a 25 man group at this time might cause us to loose alot of regulars that everyone still wants to raid with. Our 3 main "elite" tanks are all taking a little break and we want and expect them to rejoin us soon. Just the way I see it.....:)
Well, I really thought I'd
Scaron — Thu, 04/09/2009 - 17:46Well, I really thought I'd be able to come, but my wife and son just got home from a road trip and I need to be with them.Thanks for inviting me last night, I had lotz and lotz of fun.Depending on when you start, I may be on if you need spots filled. If I'm able to go, I'll be yours...but it's looking doubtful.I'm in if you want me.
Maybe?
Boel — Thu, 04/09/2009 - 16:57So I have to be at a meeting at 7:00 (ergo I will need to be logged off by 6:55). If you guys think we can burn through it, I can go. I can keep playing until 6:55, and you can replace me then/do it 24, I don't care. If you guys want to replace me at the beginning, thats cool too.
I've decided that in
everstar — Thu, 04/09/2009 - 16:43I've decided that in preparation for Ulduar, i am taking back what i said about taking a break till 3.1 and jumping in again (if needed) so that a spot doesnt fill permanently. Right now i am specced to tank but i can go whatever needed. you all know my tank and dps gear blows shit up. =)
