Here's a few things that tonight's raid pointed out to me. Following raids people who get invites will be the one are there on time obviously, but also do the following. 1. Know the fight in advance. Read some strats or watch a video on youtube or something. I will assign the specifics, but knowing the general fight mechanics helps prevent dumb wipes. www.bosskillers.com/2. Show up prepared. Have your reagents, be full repaired. If you are going to be late, park yourself in the designated location, I will give a full days advance via gmotd so that you have warning of where to go. 3. Pay attention. If I call out that a lot of people need to repair, everyone should go do it at one time. People don't run back and it's frustrating. Some people take hella days to run back and we sit around waiting for buffs. Please organize your class buffs amongst yourselves and keep your shit in order. If you are missing an individual buff that your group has, send a whisper to someone about it. 4. Post in advance if you know you are going to miss a raid. Give advance warning if you know you have to leave early. If you have an emergency afk please let us know somehow so we know you didn't just DC. athorde.proboards66.com/index.cgi?board=afkThere may be more to add in the future, but this is the start of raiding etiquette.

The officers are getting tired of holding your hand.
We don't raid a whole hell of a lot, so we like to kill shit when we do.
Wiping to bosses that we have killed before is a waste of time and a waste of gold.
Explaining the scripted events of a fight before we do it is a waste of time and allows for fewer attempts before trash respawns or it gets too late. READ UP ON A FIGHT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT BEFORE RAID TIME.
If we are wiping, run to the boss not away from it. If the boss is forced to chase down 10 people to kill them before he resets that is time wasted.
Assuming we are running back after a wipe unless your RAID LEADER says otherwise. The longer you wait to release, the longer we have to wait for your ass to get back to the boss.
Finally, raid invites go out roughly half an hour before raid time, if you are going to be late, don't log out in UC or Org, otherwise the raid has to wait for you, which is a waste of time.

Adding to what wind said below, if you know someone else isn't going to be here (I know a lot of you know someone in the guild IRL) and they might not be able to inform us, don't hesitate to let us know. I'd rather hear that someone isn't going to make it from two people than from no one at all.

Also, if you know you are going to be late for a raid please let ryan or one of the officers know so we can plan for it, specifically tanks and healers because there is only so much we can do without knowing how many tanks or heals we will have. Lastly, dont expect a summon to the instance at raid start, theres no reason if your on at 630 that you cant get to the instance within a half hour. And if your not on at 630, you should have your toon parked outside the respective instance accordingly.

Also if it is 6:30 server time on a raid day and you are still on your alt you fail. I know SM Cath has UBER loot but get your ass on your main.

For those of you new to raiding, or don't know how to raid effectively or efficiently PLEASE follow this post. As stated before you are wasting our time and our gold, not only that but testing some of our patience....
Edit: Untill that last attempt on Hydross I seriously questioned why I was spending my time raiding ..... So, by showing "Hey! We can actually make steps toward killing bosses" showed me that I wasn't wasting my time. Although, there is still no reason A'lar and Hydross shouldn't be dead.
