Yes I know

I'm a terrible updater. :-P I've been reminded.

Okay so today's blog is going to start out with a link to another blog. This is how I feel. That's it in a nutshell.

I feel like my raid is burned. Attendance has dropped. Content that should be on farm isn't. And morale is low.

And me...well...I have no clue what to do to fix it.

I know real life happens. I know work schedules change, husbands and wives have kids to attend to, dogs need to be let out, food needs to be eaten at dinner time, and crap just happens.

But seriously...for the past couple of weeks I've had to pug every single raid. What happened?

My guild tells me they want in Ulduar. I want in Ulduar and I want to get us there as a guild. But we can't even get Naxx on farm status. Correction...we won't get Naxx on farm status. We can...I know without a shadow of a doubt that we can. The problem is just doing it.

Last night we got to Kel and consistently got him to 20% or so with 5 pugs in the raid...FIVE pugs. That's incredible. And did I mention a lot of our guys were melee? Yea...we did freaking awesome!

Now why can't we do that every week?

I'm at a complete loss as what I need to do to get my guys fired up again. Do I take another week off again? Sometimes that helps and sometimes it doesn't. Do we have a guild meeting to try and raise morale? I just had one of those a couple weeks ago and it didn't really help too much. Do I implement a dkp system to reward attendance and consistent good runs? I hate dkp...like, with a passion.

So what do I do? Maybe I should call raiding altogether. Maybe if the guild didn't run anything we could get back to being a family again and just enjoy one another. But I'm afraid I'll lose people if I do that.

/sigh
