[Darian]

Ability to not give out orders when they are not a raid leader/assistant.
Ability to not keep interrupting leaders/assistants on TS.

I have to say this, and I think everyone's going to realize the truth of it as soon as I say it.

The people who weren't doing the above before I took my hiatus from leading the raids were, by and large, not Basiners. I'm hard-pressed to ever remember a time when a Basiner ever made a command statement of any sort in a raid I was running other than "Shut up and listen to Darian." And the Basiners, as a whole, have been very quiet on TS.

Yes, there are things I don't think the Basin was prepared for when it comes to regular raiding (Martini's well aware of that, as I had that discussion the night I melted down) -- namely, that a lot of them just aren't experienced in the MMO raiding environment in the way that most of CA IS experienced from having been involved in the EQ end-game. But for the most part, your criticisms here need to be more properly directed at CA/Lurker players, not the Basin.
