Two progression bosses down in one week!
Mimiron and Vezax fell in consecutive days. Mimiron in our second day of seeing him, Vezax in our first. A great sigh of relief as Vezax dropped the Emblem of Conquest that I needed to buy the Tier chest piece. Thank god.

We started easy. Worked up to Maiden for a possibility of the healing mace dropping for one of our healers. Flawless...

As a raid leader (and to a lesser extent in 5-mans), I am against pickup groups/players. These thoughts harken back to the EQ days when, as a cleric, I dealt with really, really long sessions with players who knew only about half of their toon's abilities.

I have been criticized by guild members for canceling a Kara night when only 7 people show up. The times I have invited more than 2 pugs have (generally) turned out badly for us. Either ending in loot fights (we had a lot to...
