What Tarqq said does make some sense but do people really talk much during our raids? It's either strats or nothing at all from what I've noticed. The old DWP was the best, we joked and pal'd around and we had a great group dynamic. Tarqq come back!! Going a whole night without downing a boss in ICC is frustrating, in Ulduar it makes me want to tear out my eyeballs. See you Friday.

I think the issues that you are dealing are probably issues that Blizzard is dealing with but on a much greater magnitude. You risk apathy and your downside is a break from the game. Blizzard's downside is with a 10% decline from 10million subscribers x $15 per month or $15million/mo. Youch! I honestly think the answer lies with Blizzard and their efforts to create a new WoW. I have felt that the only thing that kept me in the game was the social aspect of the game. The game took on a less important role. But when the game and the responsibilities of leading the raid were too much, I knew it was time for me to step back and away. The questions you have regarding your raid team probably has only one answer and that is to surround yourself with players who are sociocentric rather than egocentric. The group has to be more important than the individual and if you can find those players well.... there ya go! =( I’m sorry things are not going so well for you Molsan.

But seriously, I think the holidays is the catalyst in the difficulty filling out the group. We've had people on vacation, people doing charity events and fund raisers, people working extra hours, weather, lag, and anything else you can name make things difficult. And if people know the raid is not likely to be filled, they'll jump in the LFG. I really think that after the new year when people get back to normal routines we'll see more consistent attendance. It's definitely not you! It might possibly be me.... :p “Other players may only log in for your raid — and your raid only — for their source of gear….your weakest links will force you to make some tough decisions.”
