When will raiding become raiding?

So I have to admit, I'm a little aggravated. I've got a great group of people. No, we're not the best tanks, heals, or highest dps around, but we're committed and friendly. We came together so quickly it's hard to deny that there isn't a sense of family in the group.

But here's my problem. Last night we ran for two hours. Only two hours because everyone can't seem to get their crap together and get their on time. But even that didn't really bother me, last night anyway.

We started out in the Death Knight quarter and I knew it was going to be fun. I was really dreading the Four Horsemen fight. I mean, we had a tough time with Thaddius. Getting this boss down was going to include a steep learning curve to overcome. But, we charged in there and one shot Instructor Raz, two shot Gothik, and spent the rest of the night on Four Horsemen.

I gotta tell ya, the mood is what really pissed me off. Or maybe it was just the mood amoung my officers. But it felt like no one really gave a rats behind what we did or didn't do. Everyone seemed just...upset. And that really gets my goat. We downed a boss for our second time ever and then we downed a boss for the first time...but everyone's upset? How is that possible?

Maybe I'm over reacting. Maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there, or are there but not on everyone like it felt like.

Or maybe everyone's upset because we're not in Uldar yet. That's a strong possibility, and honestly I don't blame them. But seriously...our group's not ready. Our dps has a little ways to go and our healers really need to coordinate better. There always seems to be confusion amoung them. Then our tanks...we've got some really good tanks, but there's competition. I dunno if it's unintentional or not, but I swear our tanks are always fighting over targets. It really frustrates me.

So when does raiding become raiding? At what point to people realize "hey it's a game, I'm supposed to be having fun" and start enjoying the place? When do my guys go "hey we could do this so much faster and better if I did this"? When do we go to go and not because of obligation? When do I have nights of not one single complaint? When can everything go smoothly and just be a nice, enjoyable night? When does that occur?

Cause I'm ready for it!
