Thought I would give it a shot and try posting here since no one has responded to my other thread...
I kept hearing that we needed someone to step-up so we could get another Kara raid going, well I stepped up and got absolutely no interest...
I realize that we are not a raiding guild, but what I get the most fun of these days if running instances and yes, some of them are raids.
Did we lose all the people that were interested in going to Kara because we keep telling ourselves that we aren't a raiding guild?
I am just getting annoyed, I CAN"T commit to weekends so I wanted to try to get another group going for the weekdays (Tues/Thurs most likely), but with lack of interest I am lead to believe that I am going to have to look elsewhere and to do that I might have to make some sacrifices...
What also bothers me is that I thought we were switching the meeting days around so as not to always fall on the same day so those that have commitments on tuesdays could still go, are we not doing that?
The main instance/raid days on this server tend to me Tues-Thurs, does that mean that since we have to go outside the guild to actually do these things we have to miss 1/4 - 1/2 of them to attend meetings? and therefore don't get invited because someone who can be there every time is a better choice?
And while I am on my (very sleepy) rant...are we actually going to talk about something important at the meetings? I mean as it is the dread of going to a meeting is horrible, like making yourself go the the dentist to get a tooth pulled.
At one point they were fun...but common, the same thing every meeting, hours listening to people get initiated (although all are diff, they are the same) and then 2 min of actual business...I feel that a great opportunity is lost since we can't really discuss any business in guild chat since it can be hard to RP some of the major concerns.
The last couple months of meetings have been so boring that I find myself watching TV and wishing it would be over already...and I used to enjoy them the first couple months, but my ADD just can't take sitting through the same thing over and over again...I would rather be enjoying myself elsewhere.
Does this mean I don't want to be a part of the clan? no.
I think I have missed maybe 2 meetings in my career as a crusher (one I was really sick and Lefou dictated to me, the other I was on the road coming home) but you may not find at the next meeting as I truly can't see myself sitting through another one and falling asleep or flipping through the channels wishing I were else where because I hate to disappoint.
So here ends my sleepy rant, hope this explains my absence if I manage to start or get into a raid (otherwise I will be there if I don't have other commitments).
Sorry for the length...
