In your own guild you can make up for errors on the next raid but if you mucked up in a guest raid you're name could become known server-wide as a poor healer/dps/tank and that would make it difficult in the future. Maybe a drastic exmaple but I always assume the worst... First time I have visited your blog and I have to say I like it. Feel free to drop by and see what you think of mine :) Keep up the good work! samownall - <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraftblogger.com" rel="nofollow">World of Warcraft Blogger</a> I have never guest raided but I know that I would be terrified of screwing up.

Even performed before our current president while I was still at the Academy. Fun times there. And we had our own little cliques, too. "Brass may be class, but low brass kicks the asphalt!" The biggest issue I see when people join other raids is usually over loot. Making sure the loot rules are known in advance can solve a lot of problems. Be upfront and be consistent throughout the run; it doesn't have to be fair but every person has to agree to it!
