			<description><![CDATA[Aaah, stupidity. Not paying attention. Lack of preparation, ignorance or just not grasping the fundamental basics of an encounter/class/spec. I hate it, with a passion. 

I love the guild I am in right now. Great camaraderie, skilled players, good debates and we get shit done.

Until the encounter hinges on personal responsibility. Then stuff becomes unglued, fast. We've been plagued by having a core group of skilled players, offset with a few bad players. Unfortunately, we don't have enough strong core raiders to fill out a 25 man raid yet, so during the entirety of BC, we were forced to bring the bad ones. Our GM is insistent on stopping this practice, and weeding out the bad players, but this being our first foray into 25 man Naxx, we said fuck it, let's just fill the raid up.

Blew past Patchwerk with ease. Destroyed Grobbulus. Had issues on Gluth, but nothing we couldn't handle.

Thaddius. Oh Thaddius. The same 3-4 people dying, combined with fresh level 80s lead us to losing to the enrage timer every time. We had an explanation down for polarity switching, it should have taken us no longer than 1, maybe 2 attempts to get it down pat. Here we are on the 5th attempt, still losing people. I'm tearing my hair out in frustration, wanting to yell but holding myself back.

Hopefully, it's different this week. Fingers crossed. I would make a horrible GM. I don't have the patience to babysit egos.]]></description>
