If one of the Loch-alts is on, they can usually drop what they are doing, as long as they aren't 10 minutes from something they have worked an hour to get to. If I do turn down a request (like last night), it is probably because of real life concerns. I might be going qwerty-face already or expect to be AFK a lot so it would be detrimental to the group for me to join. I also do go AFK with a toon logged in a lot, but I try to read back chat when returning. Invariably, a request was posted minutes after I left, so I am 10-15 minutes too late to join.
I realize that I'm in the minority in that I will raid often (and even RL for/with pubbies, when I recall saying way back when that I never would) with pubbies. Not Honorables/Avarice pickups, but straight out of IF pubbies.
However, when I do that...and when I ask in the various channels for us...I make it plenty clear that it's considered a 'pubby' raid, and hold absolutely no expectation of any Avarice/Basin folk to join in. I simply am asking channels I know, as folks may be interested.
A couple nights back when I won my BS gloves is a good example, that raid you were asked about. ;) The RL and I had just finished a raid, and rejoined together to try to find another. The next thing we know, out of the blue...the Lurker Night Crew brings 4 people to the mix. Now, no matter what, it's a half Lurker run. Which is why we asked you, if you wanted to be the sixth. None of us were upset in any way when you didn't want to, and when you didn't reply right away, I figured you had AFK'ed (I do it plenty on nights, myself. It's no big) so no one minded. I don't ever expect Alliance folk to come along with me on a pubby raid. But that won't stop me from asking if folks are interested. ;)

(can't remember the name - do remember that Allak lists it as 250-280g median/average) We rolled on it but the player that won it gave it to another member of the group, that had an alt that would put it to use rather than sell it, and it didn't surprise me at all that they did. Lurkers is good people! :)

I have seen 6 BS belts...I wear one, lost the roll on two, and have given 3 away. ;) It's a Lurker thing...and personally, I'd rather see something used than sold.
