Whats the point in signing up when its allways the same ppl that gets the spots?
Have been on 8 or more DR, and in the start it was easier to get a spot, but now i dont even get in grp4 :/
Perhaps a bit of circulastion in the ppl, would make it more fair for everyone?

Hmm personally i would like to see more reliance on the reliable players. I think the ones that regularly turn up late if at all should be given lower priority, seems most weeks 2-8 people don't turn up, 2 out of 32 isn't so bad, but 8 out fo 32 is a joke.
I am not sure if the dragon is harder or if we are getting more complacent. Example: we started out with 3 FoP's, 1 went ld, 1 was me and the other was.... dunno. Having asked several times in /bc and still getting no response and having been told no1 else had gone ld i realised that some people must not have been following chat, or (slightly more unlikely) were dead at their machines.
Also we got adds at one point very badly, and there was very little in the way of stunning/nuking from the pac healers and the runeys, who really get quite as easy ride during the DR and as such can focus quite a bit of attention on the adds. Ok for the healers a little more difficult in the groups reduced to 2.
Another burning issue is after the ae nuke, despite bluesky, myself and aremeriel damn near spamming all seers dead in group 1, the reaction was slow, late, potentially costly but eventually came to a res of...... Aremeriel the MCL1 pac healer? no...... the shammy with MCL2? no..... must have been me, the MCL2 Raging power mend healer?? again nah ah, it was bluesky, who while a fine berserker perhaps not got the greatest gift for ressing
I just think that cause we have come good from bad situations on the DR that perhaps people are not as aware as they used to be and for the most part while not afk, perhaps are not giving their full attention to the dragon. This will likely continue until there is a wipe, wen people will wake up again.

Txs bluesky for a great raid. It was harder than usual that dragon - tho how could I tell because I was in group 4. But for that I can tell that it took longer time to kill her. And there were more deathspam of than usually.

MCL 2..
But agree with you, mend healer should be up and running first. Some ppl
might wanna rezz Blue though, as they think it will give them room in more
Dragon Raids... But, seers should always up first...
About ppl not showing up, some may have a good reason, ISP down etc. But
most likely all will blame the ISP or any other connection if they don't
show up, be it the truth or not...
About the add... I admit I should've cc'ed and I am sorry that I didn't. A
drak kept hittingme, no excuse on my behalf though, as I was very late in
telling ppl taht I was being interrupted. Will try to do better next
time.. And, I know I wasn't the only Pac Healer there able to do the
job, but if I don't, how can I count on others doing it?
At least we finally got her in the end..

Inca I agree with your points m8 as im sure you would have guessed hehe mebbe its my fault for letting ppl actually get complacent and not pushing enuf but 14 successfull raids in a row with all but 1 she died first time i guess i reply on ppl using their initiative somewhat - which can be a good and a bad thing. As i always state in my initial post I keep some "regulars" and try to swap ppl out to make it fair on everyone but do 99% of the time stick to my tried and successfully tested method of killing her.
regarding all g1 seers down - I was gonna say something about myself being ressed before the seers but decided to spam the "seers down" mesg again so as to focus ppl on what needed to be done rather than what somene had done wrong which could possibly have distracted ppl from the task at hand - at the time it seemed the most wise thing to do for a success. Oh and if anyone thinks that ressing me before the seers is more likely to get them on another raid they dont know me or my methods at all lol
regarding lack of concentration/afk - well let me say now if I catch anyone afk on my raids unless they have an amazing reason for it they will get nothign from teh raid they are on and will not be on future raids - i remember i did say something similar when someone mentioned a possible afk'er. This to me is a VERY important issue - killing the dragon the way we do has to be done in a very specific organised way and just 1 person afk or not paying attention can easily be the difference between success or a wipe out. I always use experienced group leaders and they more than often pm me during the raid with info about ppl not doing their jobs right etc.
one thing that did annoy me a little last night was the lack of ppl using MA's - it has been myself and Jakegano as MA's for a logn time now and despite he and myself spamming mesg ppl still do not always use them - believe me i do notice this and if i can i gather info on who is not doing their job's properly and those ppl are less likely to get on a raid in the future. I would not like to get into a situation where the same 32 ppl come on my raids every week but if that is the only way to keep the raids successfull then so be it.
ok rant and ramblin over hehe
