Raid leaders

One of the most under appreciated jobs in the game has to be one of raid leadership. How hard can that be you say? Well as an ex-raid leader let me say its not a picnic. Raiders sometimes dont see the big picture and just think a raid leader is there to get the group together and put out ready checks. Its not as simple as that not only is that involve but also (and not limited to) getting boss information, keeping track of raiders, loot distribution, answering questions, hearing complains, and on and on it goes. Its one of those things that can make you want to pull your hair out ( seems sometimes some of our raid leaders feel like that).

Raid leaders get frustrated it seems because after posting many strategies, posting videos, and as up to date information people still go into a new encounter not knowing anything and asking questions. Even when questions are answered it seems that the raid leaders are repeating themselves because someone was not paying attention or people were talking in vent over the raid leaders and information got confusing.

Its not only that but it can get nutty for raid leaders getting whispers trying to answer them and also keep doing either (tanking, dps or heals up). Then comes the loot distribution. The mother of all problems there people whispering asking for time forgetting to bid or roll or whatever method the guild uses.

In the end it can be truly so frustrating that it makes you want to pull your hair out (right ony ;p)

So next time you are raiding and it seems to be going slow just think about all that the raid leaders are putting up with and thank them afterward for a job well done.
