Use or Abuse?

Somtimes I dont get it......People complain....about how things are going....yet when you hand them something to USE it turns out they either dont pay attention or just plain ABUSE the fact that you care. So, whats a solution to ignorance or is it arrogance that makes people think that way?

Basically my problem with the forums so far is, if you can get your butt on wow, which requires internet and you can complain about the fact that your not geting into raids or your missing out on them when the guild runs them, you can get your ass on the web browser page or this site and register give us your schedule as well as any other information that may help in setting up these raid. Simply put, it is not that freaking hard to do both.

Excuse the french...........

Hera,
I totally agree with your comment, and can let you know what I have seen from the many guilds I have been in that have websites.

1. The last guild I was in had the same exact problem. Everyone was complaining that they were not getting into runs, even though it was stated on the calendar that to sign up you had to go to the website. The GM also tried to get people to put their schedule down to no avail.
2. The guild Gorg and I were both officers had people get into arguments in the game on why people should go to the website to register. This lead to several toons just leaving the guild, since all they really want to do is just play the game.
3. People just do not want to go to a website, and want to escape the everyday computer use. I agree that it really is not that hard to get to, but some are just not going to do it and as much as I hate it we have to respect their wishes.

I know this probably does not help, but it is a common issue to most every guild out there. I am not sure how you make everyone happy, except to make it known to all that you will put out a global invite to anyone that is gear ready and the first ones to sign up get to go. You can also state like you have that you will try to balance out the raid, ie 2 melee, 3 ranged, etc.

Good luck with trying to get this going. If you need help let me know.

Then I will simply have to make it mandatory. I'm actualy very fed up with the excuses that "access" is not possible....... realy? If the guild wants to raid.. the registration is a must as well as providing a schedule. If people do not like it, they may leave. That is there choice.

In my never to be humble opinion, I think the problem might be that people think that raiding is a right rather than a privilege. Raiding is end game, which should mean that you put in the time and effort to go through the game, built your levels, collected your gear, and earned the right to be in a raid.

Too many people have taken short cuts to their level and now feel entitled to be in raid groups. They don’t have the same mine set as someone who has worked for it. If they miss it, well then they will go on the next one, or the one after that...after all they are entitled to go on raids and you have to accommodate them.

I don’t think the problem will change until people are reminded that raiding is a privilege and a hard earned honor and not a right because their brother or sister gave them their death knight to play with.

Who's in charge here?!?

Omg Elky, always expect you to come up with one hell of an idea ..... and always make sense.........LOL. True people think they have a right to raid.. more like be carried in a raid if the guild is big enough. I for one will not carry anyone. Unless they can pull their own weight. Why should I have one person in any raid who may fail at wat he is suppose to do and create wipe after wipe?? Making all the others suffer! Heck no. Thats why When I am makn raid announcements most of them say "keep in mind that range will be given priority and person must e geared (somwat)"

If people leave cuz of this thats fine with me!
