I go by the motto, that its fine to wipe a raid in any given way – *once*.

As long as any mistake is turned into a learning opportunity, you grow from it. Didn’t know that the trash pack patted this close? Now you do. Didn’t know that mob had a frontal cone of death ? Now you do.

If people make the same mistake over and over – there is a lack of learning going on, and that person needs to get removed. Not learning from a mistake is certainly a waste of the raids time.

I think your post highlights two very good points – both in humility when fault is to be had, and understanding towards the party in the blame zone. Nobody likes to wipe. Everyone has been in one. Crying about wasted food buffs is just silly, I don’t care if you’re a hardcore raider or casual player, at absolute most the only thing that goes missing is a bit of spent time, as is damn near everything you could possibly lose in-game. If that was your last stat food, you should have planned better and come prepared.

Kudos for stepping up and taking the blame, I hope your fellow raiders can take a step back and think about the time they caused a wipe by backing up too far and proximity aggroing a pat that was behind a wall and realize that they to are not perfect, will never be perfect, and are only being detrimental with over-reactions to what can (in your case) be summed up by a silly set of events.

Cheers,

I knew I wasn’t the only female Gnome tank in the world, but it’s great to find someone blogging about it. Keep up with this Blog. It’s a great break during my work day.

Baby Spice on Thaddeus is also a bad idea.

It works pretty well on Gluth though, to get him just a few yards closer to the door, farther away from the zombie grills.

(By the way – would you consider underlining your weblinks? I can’t tell that you have a link to Failbot or other pages, unless I painfully scrub my mouse over every word of every paragraph.)
