Our Victory is Your Victory

As those of you who read here regularly know, we've been making slow but
sure progress through ICC10 on one ID. We typically run two 10 teams
per week, but really only have enough top performing players to have 1
that's working on LK.

But starting with the night we killed Blood
Princes
I've noticed something disheartening: the sour grapes. Not even as much
in the realm of people complaining to Officers about not being included
in the progression team (only had a handful of that.) And not a ton of folks, mind you. But enough that you take notice.

More along the lines of peeps not saying grats when G chat lights up with an achievement for completing
the wing. Or not giving a cheer in the kill thread on the
forums. People who only have something positive to say if their nameplate is in the boss kill screenshot.

I know it sucks to be sat, or to not be able to attend on
the nights we are working on progression fights. I sat a lot in my
first 4 months as a pirate. (I barely eeked out a solitary Vezax kill as
a matter of fact.) And I still sit every few weeks now so we can cycle
in other DPS on weeks we have a signups overflow.

I feel like folks can forget we are a
team. And the guild's success is OUR success as a whole. It's their $15, and I know I can't expect everyone to share my passion for the guild and our progress, but I would prefer to see all of our raiders enthusiastic and supportive of each other when one of our teams hits a milestone. Instead of just looking at what's in it for them.

I am
going to miss ICC 25, and a night of 10s for vacation week. It
is entirely possible that there will be some new boss kills I miss out
on. And I will be right there cheerleading for the guild if we are so
lucky as to get to see some kill shots on the forum.

Because the guild's success is MY success.

Yarrrgh!

P.S. Naie, I am looking at *YOU* to be in charge of nekkid screenshots in my absence.

  1. Haha, will do since I now remember it’s alt z to remove action bars, etc. I don’t need my awful UI distracting people from the nekkid-ness. 😛
