If you leave a bad impression like the aforementioned fellow did, don’t expect to get an invite back if they ever need an extra body. It’s wrong, rude, and impolite. It took me an insane amount of effort to tell that player to stuff it. But of course, I wasn’t in the raid nor was I in the guild and I did not have the authority to do it. After speaking to a few of the players afterwards, they agreed with me in thinking that that player was a pompous zealous idiot. While his intentions were good, he mistakenly assumed that my friends were all idiots who were starting Prince for the first time when most of the players in the raid already have half the gear that he drops. It almost sounds as if he’s got some kind of superiority complex involved where he likes to tell players what to do when they don’t need to hear it. Don’t insult their intelligence. In addition to that, the extra crap he was spewing out was largely irrelevant or had already been covered. It was already 11 PM server time, and he was wasting precious raiding time.

You can adjust settings how you need them, but it will buff all raid groups with party buffs and even give single buffs if there was only one death. When a buff expires it splashes a notice and makes a noise (both of which can be turned off) and with a scroll of your mouse wheel buffs are cast. I LOVE it! You can also set buffs to be class specific. If it's only the rouge that died, he dosen't need Divine Spirit, but he does need Fort. On another note, I hate it when I'm not rezzed first. I actually had to ask the other priest to rez me the other night when I saw the third rez pass me by. Talk about a time saver!

We did Coilfang last night--5 70s, so it was pretty easy. But just before the 3rd boss, the hunter asks, "Does anyone have any meat?" Okay...we'd been in there for what...2 hours? Meaning the hunter came in with well under half a stack of pet food? /head on desk We need more Boy Scouts (Be Prepared!) and Coast Guardsmen (Semper Paratus – “Always Prepared”) in our guilds.
