So what happened guys? 
We've spent months trying to get a group together that will do Lich King on the lock out. So what's the problem?
-People don't want to spend the whole night wiping on LK.
Well sorry to say but thats how progression is. Any person you talk to who has downed lich king will tell you the first time was hours of tries and tons of gold in repair bills.
-People want gear from the first 11 bosses.
People are either looking for SPECIFIC items or trying to gear alts. Sorry to say guys but this gear you are trying to get will be obsolete in 3 months time. That one piece you are waiting to drop may never drop for you.
What I am going to do is set up a calendar invite for TUESDAY. Not monday since were past the reset day and half of our guild has pugged ICC 10. The lockout I am going to extend was the horrible 10 man we did on tuesday. We'll start with blood and frost wing up and hopefully get some tries on lich king. and then save our lock out
I know a lot of you are probably thinking I don't need the gear and that's why I don't care about lockouts but I do need drops still. And I would someday like to bring a toon besides Salty (and sometimes my warrior if we need it) into a guild ICC 10 or 25. You all know I have other toon's i'd like to gear and play but I don't with us.
Please only except my calendar invite if it is your main toon that you want to save yourself to LK on and can raid with us from 8:30-11:30pm
I'm tired of swapping people and toons in and out. It's just going to mess up our strategies, ever week we have different people and different classes coming in with us (the few attempts we have tried).
We are at a point now where it is sad we do not have our 10 man king slayer achievement. I know we have the people and toons to get this done. And we are at a point now where we are starting to see players, who we know are not as good as us with kingslayer. We have the gear we just need the dedication.
Another aspect of this lock out will be once we get to lich king we will have ONE PERSON explaining the strategy. If you have input or something you want to change to the strategy please talk to the raid leader. We can have calm civil conversation about the strategy but we do not need 5 people yelling out different things as we go. And we do not always need to change something every time we wipe. Mistakes happen and you fix them the next time. We cannot keep changing our strategies based on one persons simple mistake, we do not need 9 people changing what they are doing when its easily fixed by one person changing what they are doing.
blaaaah, feel free to accept or call me a crazy bitch and ignore me. I'm at the end of my rope here guys, and I know myself and a handful of people actually want to down lich king before we are level 85. I'm just trying to save Simple Solution from being another noob guild, with noob players (as others may look at it) which I know we are not.
