Attendance & Burnout

[martini]

I am only going to say this.
Raiding takes a whole different mindset than what I have seen from many members of <The Basin>.
Flame me if you will, but that is my observation.

I'm not going to flame, but I'm not sure it's a very productive statement.

I've heard a fair bit of this kind of attitude lately from different sources, and it's really disappointing to me. While we have a bunch of people coming up in the ranks of the game who have recently capped, and therefore haven't been able to put in the time in the smaller 60s instances, a bunch of us have, but we all seem to get lumped into one pot.

I've had people lately trying to tell me stuff like what's coming next on a Baron run... "yeah, I know, I've done this dozens (and dozens) of times already, but the RNG is cruel :)" The Basin has active members who hit 60 for the first time around March, we've been doing this for as long as CA and the Lurkers have. We ran all-Basin MC runs on the first couple of MC bosses successfully (then shelved them so they wouldn't interfere with the Avarice runs). As a group, I have found Basiners to be competent and intelligent, and I haven't seen anything that would make us poor raid participants.

If there are people who aren't performing as well as the raid leadership (as advised by the class leaders) would like, then someone needs to tell these people that, and try to work with them to improve, which is the role of the class leaders, is it not? If that doesn't improve things, the raid leadership can make invite decisions taking that into account.

Alrin, your post didn't suggest any action that should accompany your apparant "truth"... are you suggesting that CA and Lurkers should chuck The Basin out of the alliance? Are you suggesting anything at all? What did you mean to accomplish with your post?
