Not trying to be an ass here, just letting you guys know my situation.
I don't play wow at level cap, so I get annoyed when I dedicate a night to being online for raid, and end up standing around for 45 min waiting for people to log on or sitting around in a raid group while people try to decide what/whether to raid. Anyway, after 3 consecutive weekends where raids didn't materialize on either day, I let my account expire.
I'm continuing to watch this thread for signs of life, and I will resub if we get another real raid planned. I'd really like if we could post a specific raid schedule, and commit to doing something even if attendance is low.
Allow me to emphasize on that:
We had about 8-10 Healers, 4-5 Tanks, 8-10 DPS. That's at least 20 people who are geared enough for raids. However, about half of those people(10 out of the 20) would only show up if we were doing progression. Meaning they didn't want anything to do with MC40 or AQ10. Then there's another half of the people(10 out of the 20) who have IRL stuff that makes it impossible to show up: (IE: for me, I work 50 hours a week, I can't always be there because I'm at work).
So taking that into consideration: There's ~10 anonymous people who won't even show up for raids and another ~10 anonymous people who struggle to make raids on time because of work(IRL stuff).
You are standing around for 45 minutes every raid night because people don't even want to show up because they think there won't even be any progression or because people are too busy to come.
Tough luck. There are plenty of life, but unless everyone comes on at once, there's not going to ever be any progression at all.
Wanna keep this Project alive? You gotta do AQ10 and MC40. The solid fact is, we need everyone online for BWL and we won't have enough people to get any serious attempts at more AQ40 bosses.
If you are one of the people that has IRL stuff that makes it impossible to be at home for raids, that's fine. No one is asking you to cut work/family to raid. Life > WoW. But if you're one of those people who are only interested in showing up if we have
#s for Progression, then I feel sorry for you. Spending so much time perfecting a toon only to stop playing it because there's no more progression or to not even show up because there's not enough people for progression.
The reason why we can't progress is because you are only interested in one thing, progression. If you aren't willing to show up when we are not doing progression nights, then we will never ever see this project reach Nefarian or C'Thun.
If you are one of those people, you have only yourself to blame.
But I can't wait for the day we down Vael >;3
