      IRC Nickname: Maths Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1855 Member No.: 54 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 286    | We've all seen that our raid attendance isn't the best. The fact is, we could beat a lot more of the 10-15 people teams we run into at the moment if we just pulled those extra 5 people per week to a raid. The objective of this poll is to pinpoint the exact reasons why you can't attend the raids. Be honest in your vote. I want a clan perspective on why you personally can't attend raids. I'm not going to get angry if you say skilling. Basically we're trying to work towards better solutions for raids. We would like to know the exact reasons you can't attend at least 1 per week. This poll is specifically asking about p2p raids, hence the p2p questions on it. If two options appeal to you, pick the one that is the strongest reason you do not attend raids. If our p2p raid attendance starts improving, the f2p attendance automatically will, due to more ppl having f2p, than p2p, and gear sets being cheaper. If you vote and would like to give specific details of your situation, please post below. Edit: I made this up, after a lot of the responses.

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | Honestly, I just don't have the money. At least, not right now. I've never really had that much cash, so P2P Raids have always been a stretch for me. Way back, I actually used to just range because it was more affordable even though I only had 70-75 Range. I'm trying to make some money, and usually have multiple Rune Sets in my bank for reasons such as this, but it's hard for me because I just don't have the stats to make the big money that many of you do (no 70 Agility, low Range). Anyway, I'll work on getting some cash and buying some gear and getting to those raids. --------------------   | ||

+1 When I was active, it was always so hard to come up with the money to get stuff I would somehow get the money to get the gear but I could never make it last =/ Lordy, must have been worse for you cuz everyones out for ur name =/ p.s-I have always disliked p2p cuz in pk's and such, tanking=impossible and whether you live or die is based on luck alone. --------------------  | ||

Or you'd be a liar. Anyways, yeah i attend my raids, even though i am one of the strongest skillers (in belief) I love skills to such an extent its not even funny, but i come to raid because of WG. Skillers should take that into thought. -------------------- The First, The Last, and the Only ~FLO Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion. ~Michael Jordan      | ||

 IRC Nickname: Jenny Group: Emeritus Posts: 1967 Member No.: 19 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 56 | In line with spending more time with my family I have tried this year to attend the football games to see my brother play in the drumline. When I didn't go to the games I went out with my sister. This is an awfully hard year for her and she is utterly stressed out at the end of the week, so we go out to eat as a treat on Friday evenings. I do try to catch one of the other raids though, just for a bit the p2p on Fridays will be hard for me. I will attend when I am able. --------------------   | ||

 IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | Ok it seems to me at the moment, that (other than the raid once a week option) , the highest results are in the "cannot afford gear" and "I prefer skilling" category. If the latter is the case, then WHY DON'T YOU ATTEND SKILL EVENTS? --------------------    | ||

o lawd not another warring vs skilling arguement.. warring/raids actually NEED good attendance, without many people, we will most likely die. Skilling events, you dont need good attendance, sure it makes it more fun and all, but its at no loss - no-one is going to die because of it. That being said, i do try my hardest to attend both warring And skilling events, and it would be good if others could attend both when they are online as well. Also for those who say "i can't afford p2p gear", just come in welfar. If your 85+ Range, just bring d hide & rune c bow. If not, d hide & whip/ d scim (with protect item) -------------------- 24th to 2496 Overall ~ 29th to 120 Dungeoneering ~ Guardian since November 2007 ~ - I now play WoW lols - Server: US Jubei'Thos Faction: Horde 85 Blood-Elf Paladin 85 Troll Hunter | ||

| IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | I'm not starting that argument. I'm just saying that if you use the excuse that you won't come to raids because you like to skill... and then you don't come to the skilling events.. See my point? -------------------- | ||
