Random Acts of Kindness and Team Work

One of the things I love about our guild are the random acts of kindness I see everyone doing for each other most of the time with our team goal of doing well in the raids. I'll often hear the stories of how crafted gear or items pop up in people's mailboxes or how an afternoon is spent running someone's alt through mythic dungeons to get gear. These things are what makes our team so great and one of the big reason I'm so proud to be your Guild Leader.  I have been the recipient of these random acts of kindness and I'm always so touched by the efforts people have gone to.  I got the crafted weapon arrive in the mail some time ago. This week I got game time given to me by two guildies. I want to send out a BIG thank you to not just the people who have helped me but to all of you for helping each other in game and in real life with things such as helping guildies move house, helping people with homework assignments and generally just being there for each other.

The alt raids have been going really well. New raiders are learning the mechanics and how to raid.  It's lovely to see Mrs Pangit and Trissa attending these raids it would be great to see more family and friends coming along to these Saturday raids.  If you guys are interested in seeing some of the mechanics this is a good place to start. These videos take only two minutes to watch.  Don't worry if you can't do these things exactly like the videos.  Our guildies will explain what our plan is before the fight. If you want to see how it looks when normal people do these fights you can see our raid team here.  As you can hear people do make mistakes and we still manage to complete the fights.  We still appreciate everyone trying as hard as they can to work together.

We've been seeing some really great video's recently with Brenton and James working together to make them look as good as they do.  I'm sure Brenton would love some melee prospective as well so if you have the ability to record fights and are fine with sharing your view of the fight have a chat to Brenton aka Alysith about sending recordings to him.  It's really great seeing these videos it is a reminder of how the team work so well together and treat each other with respect. Some of the videos do show the lighter side of raiding as well.  These are usually posted on the facebook page.  Don't forget about teamspeak you can always log on to that and just listen if you don't feel confident talking yet you can reply in text in guild chat.  It can be very nerve racking talking in teamspeak.  Recently we had our unofficial guildy Swift  with Sarior play a great practical joke on us in this regard. We all thought Swift was a 16 year old girl for about 4 weeks and then he spoke in teamspeak with a deep 16 year old boy voice saying "Surprise" Very funny guys.

We just have two heroic bosses to get down until we move onto Mythic.  Some of the raiders might not move onto Mythic HFC with us so we are recruiting again to fill any potential gaps. Here are the first couple of Mythic fights.

Bainmar, Leeroy and I have had the pleasure of having some WoW pal visitors over the last few weeks.  It's been really lovely catching up with you in person guys.  We look forward to seeing you again soon. Leeroy is always up for a group hug, some "accidentally" spilled coffee which has been "accidently" knocked over by his tail and a nice long walk.  Bring your comfy shoes :)
