Raid night for our guild came and went. I logged in early to make some preparations. At 8:50, there was still only 3 of us. At 9pm, there were 4 of us. One person's phone was turned off. Another was having internet issues. Our guild leader's new work schedule prevented him from making it. We waited until about 9:10 and no one else showed up. Ulduar was a failure. Razorbacks raid night was a failure.
We managed to PUG into an Onyxia 10 run. Originally I was to main tank until it was learned that my supposed off tank was barely hitting 25k health raid buffed and was eaten alive by the whelps. I threw down a Death and Decay after I felt he had enough time to grab them up and immediately pulled them off of him. We booted him, which he understood why. We brought in a Pally tank with about 10k more health than me. I was put into OT role while he MT'd. Long story short, we spent the next hour and half wiping. Partly my fault as I couldn't seem to get my ass out of the Deep Breaths. We ended up getting her down to 0.6% and wiping. The raid leader called it.
We were exhausted, frustrated and for a couple of us, our egos bruised. Myself, I was not only frustrated at myself for not moving from the Deep Breaths but also rather disappointed in my guild. Most people had not even bothered to answer yes or no to the invitation.
This has spurred our GM to trim the fat from our guild. He has decided that any inactive members will be booted from the guild as of 1-15-10. He's tired of being a parking lot for alts and inactive members. He has decided that we are going to be an active, casual raiding guild, which is fine by me.
