This post is about tonight's HB/Strife/FC attempted raid on Avakr. I didn't actively partake in it, but I was sitting watching over Dramatis' shoulder and tbh, that was the biggest god-damn shambles that I can remember. Those present: 3fg HB, 2fg FC (i think?) and a fg of Strife.
If I may humbly (hah.) proffer some guildlines for the next raid - if, that is, Strife can be persuaded not to just bugger straight off out of the alliance. (this was after all their first "raid" with us)
1.) Do not, repeat NOT, keep in excess of 40 people waiting for over 40 minutes at the odin's ATK, for what was at most 5 stragglers. Of whom two were god-damn bots. Please set a maximum waiting time of 10 or 15minutes, and if anyone is 'there in a minute!' or 'Just in camelot hills atm!!' then tough luck. Be on time next time; God knows Tilda has been announcing the raid's time/date in /as for days.
2.) When the supposed raid "leader" (woo, overuse of irony anyone?) asks for a competent driver to lead the whole raid to the target keep... and such a driver (in this case Dramatis) volunteers, could the raid leader perhaps do a little less shouting of I'M TEH LEADZOR and a little more supporting the guide?
In relation to 2.), what pissed me off enough to actually come here and release my vitriol was this: upon finally arriving at Avakr - minus the unfortunate HB group who got delayed by guards and picked off by a FG+ of mids - we stopped. After a minute or two, Tilda started saying go go go! and so on, in the CG. Comments from Excalibur's First RR6 tank, first 50 mercenary, playing at the time his second 45+ alt, such as "Can we get a competent driver please? Let's go to bloody avakr already" when WE WERE STOOD OUTSIDE AVAKR...
Ugh. Shambles.
Another thing, the smart-ass comments. Won't go into detail, but, for someone who was whinging about delay at the TK, Ckiller, you sure were quick to make stupid-ass replies to important legitimate questions from the raid driver...
Suggestions for next raid:
Raid driver is actually allowed to lead.
A leader with some experience. I think frankly there WAS no real leadership there; gifvz BROMMMIIIXXX / WILDFIRE!
No longer than 15mins STRICT maximum waiting-around-like-sillybuggers time.
If people could please exercise some restraint in the raid chat group - or best yet, how about we severely restrict /as use and use AS for raids? Have a CG running too, for more detailed information, but orders and driver/leader questions only over the main chat line for the event...
To those who were flaming at Dramatis when the zerg was parked outside Avakr (waiting for some l e a d e r s h i p perhaps, although the leader didn't know we were at Avakr either...sigh)
please...
PLEASE...
shut up.
