Heh...
First of all, i really hate when ppl do what you are doing right now. I think it's wrong.. and it only causes problems. You don't get to raid - suck it up, you might get some other time. I understand you can't raid on fridays or some other days, not sure, but that doesn't mean you get a granted spot on raid whenever you can come.
If you count yourself in the ppl group that does help others without any personal gain, then you contradict yourself with this post. You want a gain, and that would be a granted spot in the raids. If you want to be so noble, then don't do rants about you getting left out on a raid. Which appearantly turns into rant about ppl not helping each other.
Yesterday, I was so close of leaving the raid to give you a spot and stop the madness going on there. Lial beat me. And im glad he did. I'd have left the raid and if you wouldn't take the spot - i'd freakin' go offline to make my point.
Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but i really hate when people make rants based on not getting in raid they think they have earned or deserve.
