With the recent departure of styxix and the infamous readycheck a week ago, we have decided to change the way we raid. Due to the lack of progression of where we want to be and where we are currently, we have determined its time to start adjusting the people that we bring to raid. We have always tried to achieve a stable balance between quality and quantity, this is not changing, neither is our raiding schedule to adjust for stupidity, bads, and inability. The simplistic definition of what we need is players that can raid the full duration of our raid night, put forth maximum effort with minimal amounts of guidance, and the ability to pull off multiple specs for all applicable classes.
What this means to current members is get your shit in line or get replaced. Its not an ultimatum, its not me being an asshole, its WLPH trying to fix problems of having to carry 2-5 players per raid because of lack of knowledge, player skill, or just general ineptitude. I don't like yelling at people because they don't watch a video on a fight or read over the strat 2 weeks after the content has been released. I can't play all aspects of a fight to see where we are failing in other portions of our raid, this kind of stuff has to be worked out on the individual as well as your applicable area of expertise ( ie. ranged dps, melee, healers, tanks, etc... )
I don't like being where we are at and I'm sure none of you guys do either, I was ok with us killing Yogg the second week it was out, but we did not accomplish this and now its time to resolve the issue. Tonight we are doing a full clear sans yogg, razorscale, council, and ignis. We will be killing Yogg this week without a shadow of a doubt and then will go back and get started on the hardmodes that we need to get done. We're not going to sit in the spot we are at in realm progression any longer for we are the guild thats in all caps and one lower case and it is up to us and our holier than thou attitudes to set a higher bar for the rest of the world! Its time to increase the particle destiny and call the cops on the bads, wake up and smell the fresh baked bread in Ironforge and become winners, not a bunch of burlocks.
