I am in TOTAL agreement with you. This was my FIRST raid of further raids I
am i ill REQUIER that loot guidelings be set BEFORE hand.. or I wont go.. I
verymuch enjoyed the shouts " WE NEED A BARD WE DONT HAVE ONE IN THIS GROUP
SOMEONE GIVE UP A BARD!"
The reason I went at 40th level (with barely a death buffer) was because a
couple of my 50th friends practically begged me to because their group didnt
have a bard in their group..:)
Loot rules ahead of time are a must for me for me 2nd 3rd etc raids
Tuldar 40th bard
