Attendance & Burnout

[Tal]

One thing I've noticed recently that I think is frustrating a lot of people;  People are not listening.  Personally, I think a successfull raid group is one that listens to the leadership.  When I write "listens", I mean actually_paying_attention and doing what the raid leaders ask.  If for no other reason, we should be doing it out of respect for the time the leaders have put in.  It may mean there are "boring" times standing around doing nothing while strategy is discussed, but just do it.  It feels so good and makes it so worth it when we take that boss down on the first try because we all worked together.  Success breeds excitement.

Amen brother. Nothing saps my will to raid more than spamming the No DPS! Macro and seeing everyone going all out on DPS. In fact I stopped attendance in one raid because I lost aggro and never regained it because folks weren't listening. When I face a 6+ gold fee in repairs because of deaths that could have been avoided I tend to get a little cranky.
