- dieing to the first boss in Mana Tombs, a lot thanks to a heavy melee group
- remember when regular Black Morass was hard and heroic was impossible
- cringing at the thought of heroic arcatraz and heroic shattered halls

Proactive vs Reactive Management

Posted 11-06-2008 at 09:57 AM by veneretio
This one really has me wondering about the parallels between Business and WoW. Here's the situation:

...and kinda feel like a loot whore. Illidan dropped his chest and helm on the first kill and I snagged them both. It was 3x Warrior chest and I knew my fellow Warrior off-tank was going to get a chest, but nonetheless... feelin' the bad vibes.

Any other Raid Leaders get the bad vibes anytime they get gross amounts of loot?

On a happier note though, even though it's somewhat tainted by the ease that is patch 3.0, I feel oddly complete with my BC raiding experience by...
