Survey any raider on the worst offenses one of their fellow raiders can commit, and you will generally find they fall under one of the following four categories. While no raider is perfect, a good player will always be aware of how their behaviour affects their teammates and will make good effort to make sure these sins do not occur.<\/p>\n
Making People Wait On You<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Time rules a raider\u2019s schedule. Whether it\u2019s getting that one last attempt in before calling it for the night or plowing through trash to get to the boss, everything is balanced around the amount of time a raid gets together each lockout period. Time is the most precious commodity a raider can have and nothing makes people angrier than those who waste it for everyone.<\/p>\n Sins<\/span>: Being Unrealiable<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Raiding, like many sports, is all about teamwork. Raiders rely and count on each other, and the mark of a good raid is making your strengths work together and balancing out each other\u2019s weaknesses. Unreliable people erode the framework of cooperation at the foundation. If a player can\u2019t count on his teammate, the raid\u2019s performance stunted and resentment festers between members.<\/p>\n Sins<\/span>: Showing An Obvious Lack of Effort For Your Role<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Although being a good raider means being able to work well with your raiding peers, every player has an individual responsibility to prepare him to contribute to the group as best they can. This means doing research on the class you play, the instance you\u2019ll be visiting and your roles and duties within. A good player will be proactive about reading guides and strategies, monitoring patch notes for changes and keeping up with relevant theorycrafting and always showing up for a raid prepared.<\/p>\n Sins<\/span>: Bad Attitude<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n By sheer virtue of being an activity that involves working closely with other people for many hours of the week, raiding is a highly social activity. While knowledge and skill may rule a raid\u2019s success, the attitude of a raid controls how happy the players are with that group. People who harm the social dynamics of a raid are like a poison, causing disharmony, hurt feelings, a tense atmosphere and making raiding feel more like work than a hobby.<\/p>\n Sins<\/span>: Survey any raider on the worst offenses one of their fellow raiders can commit, and you will generally find they fall under one of the following four categories.
