Asuryan's Flames

This weekend saw a few ups and downs. First the good I guess, we made a push into the inevitable city, and I hit RR 50 on my knight, and got a new piece of dark promise. Now for the bad. We had to break up our fairly steady lost vale group. We had been going fine until Friday night when people where suppose to be on and they where not. So we decided that we would try again on Saturday, which also was a bust. Finally, everyone agreed to meet up at 7am CST and anyone who did not show would be considered out for good.

Everyone said yep we will be there, not a problem boss and we all went along out merry way. Well Sunday morning rolls around and our witch hunter is no where to be found. 30min go by and our group leader calls it. This is completely understandable. Well he logs in no sooner than the group leader logs out, so he calls him and pleads his case, but the damage has been done. People knew the time they needed to be there and he chose not to be one time, even tacking into account he was the one who said this was the way to do it.

Then yesterday another one of our Vale groups was broken up. Apparently one of their DPS'ers was not going to be able to make the schedule for the time it was open that week, so he said he needed to sit out for that cycle which was great. He was forthright with his situation and knew it would be good starting the following week. Well the following week comes around and they stone wall him, and tell him he is SOL that they will not be tacking him anymore. Well really they did not give an explanation they just said sorry...

So with two group displacements we had to rebuild Vale groups which was not that hard. We have a surplus of DPS and a shortage of tanks/healers so...all is right in the world. I think the biggest thing to take from this, well two things, be upfront and tell the truth to your group. It will come out eventually and more than likely it will bite you in the ass. Two, always to what you say you are going to. If you can't meet a schedule then tell people so it can be adjusted.
