Someone is the best. Someone takes the reins and runs away with the show and gets the 'firsts' and flaunts their achievements. Everyone else is just a raid guild, somewhere on the scale from 'really consistently awesome' to 'I wonder how many people will log in this week'.
So for those of you who aren't named Ensidia (et. al.), would you do it differently next time?
I was part of a Wrath rush on my druid, and we did pretty great. We were anywhere from first to third in progression through three drakes, before the guild went supernova. But in the heat to rush through raid content there were huge pieces of Wrath I missed. I went from 70 to 80 in five days, but I skipped the wrathgate event. I didn't read quests, I didn't soak in the storyline. I ended up clearing all the raid content in one night a week, and left wondering the other six days what there was to do because I hadn't really seen Northrend yet.
So here we are staring down the barrel at Cataclysm. The time is coming soon whether you'll choose to rush to max and crack open the new raid content, or just take your time to enjoy everything.
Which road will you take? Are you going to do it differently this time?
