We all kept up our parts and we all put in effort both in battle and in our roles in the ls, no one needed to be carried, everyone got loot.

Here I tried to promote ppl to help me out. They didn't do....anything. No one helped recruit, everyone wanted to lead a raid and then just wouldn't, and getting them to chat was nearly impossible. Finally a couple years ago I was in the final stretch of uni and told ppl, I need help. I am in the library or studio til 2am and I cant be here as much. No one...not a single person stepped up. They just all wanted me to do it. One girl went as far as cussing me out on discord cause she wasn't progressing and she felt it was my fault. Even though she was notorious to sign up for primal farms or 8 mans and no show. She was in my fc for nearly a year and only showed up once. Her screeching in voice chat almost made my ears bleed. So I kicked and blisted her. (her bf sent me a tell later apologizing for her behavior, he was in the fc too).

But it was after no one stepped up that I just made an announcement, gave everyone a week notice and kicked them after. But that whole week people wanted the fc, cause they could do better, we could do great things if we just work together, yada yada yada. Its like Oh just piss off.
I kind of like this conversation and would like to hear more from you about it, would you mind if I contacted you in-game and chat a bit? Would give my discord here but don't really wanna throw that out publicly. xD
