We did venture into BRF last week this was a reality check that we just weren't ready to tackle that content this week. Not to worry the old Yogic saying "for the arrow to move forward the bow must bend back". Meaning sometimes you have to go back a few steps before you can really propel forward.
We are a casual guild and those of us who are really keen for personal progression have been smashing through the content in PuGs and with Real Life friends so there's no immediate rush. I tend to get a bit overly excited about raiding progression and visions of Riftwarriors doing Mythic raiding. This is ofcourse way in the future and in reality we may not ever step foot into a mythic raid. However, we are just five people shy of having a big enough team to at least get the gear and perhaps have a go at mythic just to see what it looks and feels like. Sometimes in my excitement and getting carried away with the idea of having actual statues in my garrison I've dragged the guild into situations where failure has occurred.
I know everyone who knows me well knows that I have a bit of "thing" about the word failure. I tend to see it more as learning and part of moving forward. I'm happy to stay for hours at a time wiping on one boss fight, refining my own playing, believe me there a heap of room for improvement, like a heap. It isn't until someone brings my attention to the fact that I'm actually the only one having fun that I realise it's just not fun for most people. That's just me getting a bit of tunnel vision. This is why I like Aly 2.0 and Bashy so much because, they are pretty blunt with me and that snaps me out of it. I can't tell you the amount of times Bashy has said "...Now Krin, we are a CASUAL raiding guild".
If you want to bring up a tough topic tell one of the officers, they are all pretty good at making stuff happen and really good at giving me a reality check.
Any practice makes perfect. We'll get some more gear for our tanks and everyone else in Heroic HM then go back and smash through BRF, I'm sure. Our raid leader Aly 2.0 is busy getting all the best strats and having practice in there right now. Hang in there everyone just keep trying.
Great Job on the recruiting lately, Vonds has picked up a few good players with awesome names that we are going to have so much fun with on TS and we've had a few people busy with real life things. Lets hope next week see's some fun times for the Rifties :)
Here is a great video on progression raiding and what goes on. We will be getting the gear first to optimize our chances and hopefully wont have as many wipes as this team have had. This guy is in a high end guild, the normally go under geared and are aiming to beat everyone. He is talking about "mindset".
