Re: Guild Progression Aggrevation...
Sounds awfully familiar. A lot of guilds struggle with this, especially those that are trying to raid as a casual/relaxed guild. I've always felt it was simply that contrary to what most people say, they value gear over progress. A lot of people want the gear, but don't want to work for it. Ever notice how many people sign up for bosses you know you can kill, and how few sign up to learn the new boss?
Our guild always had a policy that if you are invited to a raid, you are expected to buff your character to the fullest.
This includes:
- either two appropriate elixirs or one appropriate flask
- buff food (stam/AP/spell power/healing, etc)
- weapon buff (wizard/mana oil, poisons, sharpening stones)
- have ALL gear enchanted appropriately (armor kits are not appropriate enchants)
- appropriate spec (don't show up to raid SL/SL)
At one point, we had to actually assign an officer to check everyone before the raid. We ended up benching one or two people for a period of two weeks to get the point across.
Unfortunately, you can't make people do what they don't want to do. It is an incredibly frustrating situation. You didn't give much info about why you are failing the event timer. What is happening?
