I have you on global... its an assumption I made, please correct me if Im wrong. Typically i go down my global list to see what "people" of mine are there.

I can say with certainty that you've not led a raid since Ive been participating.. or, at least, youve not included me if you have led them.

I do very much look forward to the ideas you shared with me after the raid lastnight... they seem solid on paper.. it'll be fun seeing them implemented.

Do you think I just randomly decided 1 day to lead a hami raid with no prior knowledge on how to do so? I, along with others, have had mentors.. Amy and Cobalt are part of that group
In the 8 months that i personally have been part of the raids, I've never seen Steel at a raid participating let alone leading a team or the raid itself. He is a long time vet and Im sure has been a part of prior raids, and Im sure he has some ideas on how to improve them, and thats fine. I defer to the people that I have been with weekly, and the strategy thats used, works. There are numerous factors that led to lastnights failed attempt.

It took a bit longer due to all the new faces in the hive that have never had the chance to participate in a raid. The other leaders giving instructions etc etc

Yes, this was an issue, and a major 1. In addition to leading the raid itself, I was also leading the yellow mito taunt team..There are 6 mitos... I had 5 tanks on my team, 3 of which had never been there.. I had to take on taunt for 2 mitos.. typically on sunday raids, its not an issue due to there being others in place that know what to do should something like this happen.. lastnight we didnt have that luxury. Fang tried his best to keep an on eye on it as well, but, as main target he had his own job to do..when you take away from 1 job, another gets put at risk.. Netminder was the other tank on the team that has experience on taunt, he stepped up when I booted and tried as well.

This wasnt my 1st lead role on a hami raid, felecia... It was however, my 1st failed 1.

As the current strategy goes, we have team leads in place and they all have specific jobs to ensure that what ended up happening lastnight, doesnt. We had, for the most part, the same team leaders we have each week, give or take a couple.

you walking into the zone with your 8 man team, and several other aow people on their own team as well caused quite a bit of disruption. When it was explained to you, on numerous occassions, why you having your own team was a bad idea, you, along with several others from aow, made the teams you did end up on difficult. It was as if suddenly, all of you forgot how to play this game. You would speak your displeasure in local chat, when that didnt work, you took it to broadcast and when that didnt work, you stepped into request. Having that kind of disruption creates chaos for the new people trying their best to follow instruction given by myself and the other team leaders. It was easy for the leaders to ignore this chatter, but, its not for the others... specially the new people in the hive.

You conveyed several times both in request and in tells the fact that it was being done incorrectly and that how AOW and UHB will "show us all how its done" (im sure UHB didnt appreciate you dropping their name into the mix). In the 8 months Ive been a part of these raids, felecia, ive never seen you there..nevermind leading a team, or an entire raid.

I Invite you to do so. Infact, Im sure all of us would be interested in seeing this and welcome it.

Youre big on "tossing down the gauntlet" for things.. so here it is.. I challenge you and aow to lead a hami raid and showing us all the correct way to do it.

you dont go to them anyway!

all women too i bet.

ahem.. someone forgot to give me contact information before they left.

blah @ hoj team.. way to stack the deck dave!

Personally, I've not seen her being "attacked" 1st. It is the above mentioned reasons that have been the fuel for many a fire. I can sit here and list off multiple instances that this has happened, but, what is the point in re-opening that can of worms.

Just because a person is a long time vet, doesnt give them a "free pass" to be all the things youve listed off and then turn around an expect people to not be left with a sour taste in their mouths and offer up blanket apologies.


cause / effect
action / re-action

She's stepped up, owned the mistakes, made the apologies and is trying to move on. As are the rest of us.

It's a bit disheartening that this was even brought back up to the surface. It should have been left with her apology and allowed to move on with it. I dont see the need for additional finger pointing. Things were moving in a positive direction...

I, like many others, do wish her and aow luck in the future and will hopefully support AOW's future events. Anything I need to say to her, will be, in private.

but is it all aow? or mostly?
