Not to say that it wouldn't work a second time, but man, I'm leery about chancing it.

How do you justify watching other PUGged members get loot that your guild has worked so hard to get? What about the tier four token? I am considering this option, so would appreciate a rather detailed explanation. This is my first MMORPG and I run the guild, so I look for advice when I can find it. I'm the MT for the guild, and if for instance I brought in an outside healer, and he rolled against me for the tier four shoulders... I don't know that I would be willing to lose that piece, you know? And someone who spent weeks wiping and learning kara with me... if someone else wins an item over him because he happened to be available to pug it up... wouldn't that piss off my guildmates? @Secondworst

We finally gave up on being carebears and started scheduling guaranteed runs around about a dozen players who are willing to show up every time, and limiting the "impromptu" runs to people who know their head from their ass. We're only Prince and Nightbane behind you guys, so hopefully, we should be able to clear Kara soon (though what the hell we're going to do then is not exactly clear, as we don't have 25 raiders ATM).

You've now pretty much caught up with us, and i think we got the Prince once before you got past the Curator. Well done, indeed. I nearly expect to see you taking out bosses in SSC before us, now.

Nightbane is the hardest boss in Karazhan, really. And it's a tribute to your tank to be able to kill him. That fight is HIGHLY dependant on a good tank, but of course any fight is doomed to fail without good dps to match it :) I've tanked him 6 times and not gotten that shield <br/>:( But at least I got the plate breastplate.
