Raid Leader Rant: The dissapearing raider

Raid Leader Rant: But I don’t want to get saved to help!

Hi all,

It’s been a while since I posted my last RLR, why? Well mainly because folks have been pretty good up till xmas, then xmas, and now the raids have gathered momentum a bit more and low and behold, the grumpy ole Cybac is back in town. So what’s the grumpy RL moaning about this time? People who complain or refuse to get saved to an already started GUILD raid. Now let me get the details clear, I’m not asking people to join a pug and get saved, it’s a GUILD run, I’m not asking because I want to, I’m asking because I need the help, because the team and ultimately the GUILD needs the help. Why am I putting GUILD in capitals all the time? Simply to make the point that the needs of the many (GUILD!) outweigh the needs of the one. If killing one more progression boss puts us 4-5 spots higher on our servers faction ranks then I really do expect people to make ALL the resources they have in the guild available for use.

Incoming rant so if you have delicate sensibilities stop reading and go back to your dolls…..

Raid Leader Rant 5: I've got to go now...




Hi again folks,

Well here I am with another rant, i'm starting to sound like a right grumpy old fart, but in all honesty there are always a few things that annoy the hell out of me, and I know they annoy the hell out of a lot of other Raiders and Raid Leaders out there so why on hells earth shouldnt I make a bit of noise ;)

This weeks rant is about those people who signup to a raid and then leave half way through because their parents wont let them carry on, they are what I like to call the Pyjama Raiders. No that doesnt mean they raid their Pyjama's to play at tanking the snake boss for an hour, it just means they are wasting an hour before their hot milk arrives and it's time for their blanket and good night lullaby.

Most guilds these days use the in game calendar to schedule their events, and why wouldnt they? The most important pieces of information in scheduling an event are where, when, what and who. Where is it, when is it, what time does it start and finish and who's going. Answer those questions...

Raid Leader Rant: Raidersitting Part 1

Hello folks,

Welcome to a new section of raidleader.co.uk called Raid Leader Rant (RLR for short), here is where I let my temper flare a little bit more in an effort to vent some frustration outside of a raid environment. Today I’m going to start with something I call Raider Sitting, it’s a bit like Baby Sitting only a lot more time consuming, less fun and definitely with less financial reward.

Let me explain why I’m so annoyed about this that I could crap epics for a week, I don’t have the time, the will or the inclination to help people who wont help themselves, it really does my head in that some people expect to pitch up late, not repaired, not enchanted, not gemmed and with the wrong attitude and their brain stuck somewhere quite far up their anus, in fact it annoys me so much that they don’t end up lasting very long and usual I pick a fight with them that I know they are going to lose so I get an excuse to gkick them. Quite honestly I expected more, let me give you two examples that have happened in the last week.
