Raid: Poker Face was created with the goal of getting 25 people from both of the normal 25 mans who were dedicated to going though Ulduar and getting Iron-bound Protodrakes.  Hitting the hardmodes, and doing what our normal raids didn't do.  We progressed through all of these hardmodes painstakingly, getting Freya, Iron Council, Thorim, Hodir, and even Mimiron.  We downed Vezax, and on one particular night we killed Yogg 1 light.  Many folks got their drakes, and together we celebrated for those that had all of their achievements completed.

As we progressed over the next week or two, we finished up peripheral hardmodes needed for others to get their drakes as well.  All the way up to Yogg 1 light again.  Our raid took an abrupt halt.  Attendance has been very very horrid.  Over the past 3 to 4 weeks we have failed to even ATTEMPT Yogg 1 light more than one night, due to limited attendance.

With 3.3 dropped on us, our attendance has dropped so significantly that we have had trouble even raiding AT ALL.  Several of us who have been with Poker Face from the very start still need Yogg 1 light to finish our drakes.  That is the only achievement that we need for our drakes.  Without you, the ones we helped get their drakes, we will not be able to get ours.

Poker Face has been put on a raiding hiatus as of tonight.  We will not be able to raid next week, because it will be Christmas.  The following week is new years, so that won't be an option either.  At that point, I personally will be back in school, and will not be able to raid with you anymore.  I will have been left out in the cold on a drake.  A drake that I did Freya 3 or more times for.  A fight I hate.  I helped you down Mimiron hard mode THREE times.  Many people wouldn't have done it more than once, but I helped you guys.  I spent hours and hours wiping with you guys, and dowing bosses with you guys.  I feel very ashamed of those of you who bailed on me.  Not just me, but Everstar, and others as well.  They may yet get their drakes, but for me that is no longer a possibility.  I feel sad that so many of you felt that once you got your drake, that you no longer had an interest in helping us.

I know who you all are.  I won't call you out, but I want you to know how hurt I am.  I feel betrayed by some of the very people I spend most of my evenings with.  While it is now too late for me, I beg you.  PLEASE come back and help the others get their drakes.  Think of all the sacrifices they have made for you to fly around on yours.  Don't continue to turn your backs on them.  They deserve better than that.
