RECRUIT! I was sick of fail pugs so I found stat requirements for all classes on wowwiki.com and became a GM. Stick to your guns on requirements and you cant go wrong. We cleared in 2 nights our first week. Cleared in 1 the next. There are a lot of bad pugs out there and a lot of good players looking for a guild with members that know there roll.

There is a druid tank who takes every chance or excuse he can find to boot me from raids. He has decent gear, but first night in kara, i tell them i don't have the gear yet to tank, he asks me to tank one of the guardians past the curator, the healer doesn't even lay a heal on me, I die in 4 hits and he says i'm better off as dps. Then last night, he boots me because I'm not doing damage. I'm sure he knows that I can't find groups to get gear since I'm pretty vocal about it in guild chat almost to the point of whining. They brung me to heroic SL a couple of nights ago (with the same cruddy gear), and they neglected to tell me that they cleared past the boss which drops the platinum shield of the valorous. Then they ask me to tank regular instances to help their low levels and while I help them, I'm not really advancing my character. I'm thinking I have the cruddiest luck, but its starting to seep in that the guild might not be for me... ya i really haven’t seen kara much in our guild either.

P3 Malacrass is the first encounter I've come across that really, really irritated me. The rest of it was fun though. Did a full clear last night.

Heroic Daily's can be a quick 5 badges. I got 60 badges and purchased the Bonefirst Gauntlets and gemmed them with 2x15 stam gems. They are a nice alternative moon gauntlets from a boss we don't kill anymore. Specially considering those gloves, if they ever drop, will go for a fortune.

Seems like a nice quick 10 man. I'd imagine we'll have the place on farm in the not too distant future. I've had the Jungle stompers that I now need to gem up and enchant for a small effective health upgrade over the Red Havoc Boots, but nothing else yet. Nice to get so many badges too :) Picked up the 35 badge cloak to finally replace the old Devilshark cape too, which is nice. We’ve done Nalorakk, Akil’zon and Halazzi in our 2 ZA runs so far.
