Yesterday Miriel and I expected to do a Draigoch run again. For sure, since only Nim and Pip had posted they wouldn't likely make it. So we could expect enough Valarguilders to be there, and we expected the possibility of our friends from the Palantiri, specifically Mosby to lead the downstairs part.
Lo and behold, Mosby and Veda from the Palantiri were there indeed. But from our own guild Indis and...nobody else. Annael was there, but he won't participate in raids yet. Morwena checked in later to see if he was needed.
This is not acceptable.
It is quite acceptable that many of us have other obligations. But to me, it is not acceptable expecting somebody to organize an event and to be there on time every week, while not making the tiny effort of taking 3 minutes of your time to post on this forum whether you will likely be able to attend the event or not.
The fact that people do not make that tiny effort is a sign of not wanting responsibility and commitment, and actually of not caring.
Miriel is there every week, on time. She pushes me to make dinner early, so we can be on time. We often break up things we have going on IRL to be on time. She prepares mentally and physically , making sure we have all the raid stuff. She does all this, not even being fond of raids. She does it for the fun of bringing us all together.
The way this is going now, the fun part is becoming tentative. It might even become frustrating. If and when that happens I will strongly dissuade her from continuing the organization of these weekly events.
Please post and choose one of the following alternatives:
1. Yes, I do care about the Saturday events and I will try to post (for some: keep posting) always and in advance whether I will be able to attend or not.
2. I can't be bothered. For all I care you can stop the Saturday events.
3. Since I am even not committed enough to register or ever look on these forums, the absence of my vote is also a clear answer.
Fee free to elaborate on your answer. Feel free to make suggestions and to discuss. Thanks in advance.
And I do hope you all know me well enough to understand that this is neither a rant nor a complaint. I care enough for all of you to hope we can improve on this, for improve we must.
If we are just dealing with a seasonal dip and/or a co-occurance of RL intrusions, we might for instance consider putting our raids on hold until - say for instance - September. But for any decision like that we need your input.
Cheers,
Irmo
