You must fine the failers!

Posted on 22:00 by Unknown
I don't really like farm raids but people need them for gear and valor points. So we run farm raids. Few days ago luck shined upon me as there were enough healers online for me to skip. So I happily logged off, knowing that the others will clean most of the place without me.

They killed 3 bosses in 1:30. Disaster. When I asked "how much fail gold you got" and the raid leader said "zero", 3 bosses did not look that bad. Actually it's a miracle they could kill anything without fail gold. I mean, what the hell did they expect?

The natural reaction to mistakes of someone who has any sociality left is "not my fault". It was lag, bad luck, someone else, bug, anything, just not me. The fail gold is not only there to compensate people for the fails of others. Its purpose is also to face the failer with his fail. It was your fault and no, it's not something irrelevant, we just wiped on a farm boss, you wasted 6-8 minutes of 9 people by being lazy, stupid or careless. Pay up!

If he, even sub-consciously believes that it wasn't his fault, he has nothing to fix. After paying they rarely do the same mistake again.

What I must do differently is calling out the failer myself. From now on, after wipes I just say "Now find the failer!" and let the others do the job. I won't pull until they don't find it, so they get use to it. Also, any other raid leader will have easier job as he only needs to call "Now find the failer!", instead of doing it himself which needs both game skills and a-sociality to confront someone in front of 8 other people.
