I joined my first 'elite' group the other day, must have this, must have that. I have everything so it's not a problem. The first thing the leader said as I got into the party was, "I won't pick apart the weapons you are all using." So I looked, we were on vosik part two when I joined, he had zhalo, quantiplasm and the raid rocket equipped, and he wanted to have an opinion about what everyone else was using. We got through vosik after a couple of tries and it really wasn't a smooth run. Then we got to the siege machine, and this guy was calling wipe the moment anybody died. Like I mean okay if someone dies real early, let's wipe and go again, but we're at the spider tank, we've lost one man, let's keep going. No wipe, and the other guys were doing it. I had to leave. Couldn't imagine aksis going well after that. I don't mind there being some minimum requirements, I mean if you're really not raid ready, people shouldn't have to carry you in a lfg group. But I can see how it would be very hard to attempt your first raid, when everyone is asking for you to know what you're doing. They should probably put a Sherpa section in recruitment.
