Why is so hard for newbies to learn how to raid?

Its just getting a little frustrating because i think i will be locked out of content for 3.2 as well.

Well, the dev team already told us that you do not have had to complete savage gordias to access savage midas, so you can get in on some of the early learning parties and have the experience this time around.

The funny thing is I had an FC in which people wanted to do things. So I set up a schedule for ex, for coil for alex for a variety of things. Built a website, had voice chat, helped people gear up and be ready. Everyone was happy happy. Then the time came to actually do something and maybe one and on the rare occasion two people would show up or be ready. I would try to accommodate my people, recruit new members, etc but it was hard to do, esp since no one wanted to help, they just wanted to complain there was "nothing to do".

If people who said they wanted to raid would be more willing to actually raid there would be a lot more raid pts and it would be a lot easier for casual or non raiders to get wins.

I spent so much time trying to make my FC work that I fell behind myself. I closed my FC and put it on an alt and have been looking for a group. Nope no one wants me because I am not caught up.

It stinks.

This is part of the problem, a lot of people like to talk but don't like to 'do' very much. And it's the cause of static raids sticking to themselves more and more over time. If seven other people commit to doing something then you don't show up the day you have it planned with no warning, why would they want to try to keep making plans with you over and over again to be disappointed when they could just find a more reliable person and actually get things done? Your time may be valuable, but no more so then the other seven people, and that is something people tend to forget all too easily when they get so self absorbed and complain about no one helping them. In your case it seems like you did everything you could for this group of people but they weren't willing to respect the time and effort you put in, so hopefully with this next patch you have better luck getting yourself to where you want to be instead of letting them hold you back with their indifference.
