Is there usually a cost to getting an elite raid completion in a pug?

No not that i have known of aussie here was just thinking of charging people for raid completions i guess.

My idea is not to do that an run elite so new people can get an idea of the raiding an yeah learn from experienced players like aussie an myself

Great idea - good luck with them and maybe I'll join in if I see them.

I am absolutely bored out of my skull and we have been trying elite raids lately to shake things up. Problem is getting people to listen, as can happen in any PUG group - but in an elite raid of course it is deadly.

We tried an elite VoD last night, strategy to use a wf tank - repeatedly ASKED THE CASTERS TO GET RECON SCROLLS -
but they didn't. As we saw the caster's sp bars decreasing at unacceptable rates we simply called it quits rather than waste everyone's time and resources.

Ugh. So great idea - but I will ask here for people to PLEASE LISTEN as you can't ride coat tails through elite raids - everyone really needs to hold up their end.

While there's no charge for elite raids, it's still always good form to donate either some plat, heal scrolls or major pots to the clerics.

Hadn't seen the thread in the trade forums, so the op now makes sense.

Great initiative then to show others the ropes. As far as people not listening in pugs goes, that always sucks. Maybe make a point of having each player acknowledge instructions before starting?

I have seen some great pug leaders on Riedra and on Khyber over the years, and the most important thing is always very simple: communication. Repeat instructions as needed, patiently, until the recipient understands 100%. It IS difficult to be patient and to explain without being condescending something you can do in your sleep and have done a thousand times before though.

It is hard to find the balance between new and experienced players too. For a new player, nothing is worse imo than joining a group where everything happens around you at light speed, ad before you know it you have a completion, but you don't know how it happened. Titan was often like this for me when I was learning it. Unfortunately, the newer raids don't leave much margin for error, so you end up stacking the group leaning towards experienced to ensure a completion.

Well... you can to some degree.. on my home server we dragged our guild leaders lvl 10 monk through an elite hound as he had no one off timer ,and we were doing elite runs as a send-off for a guildy who was quiting the game. Laughing at him as he repeatadly got pwn'd by renders was the best part of the raid (and we had no problems completing).

listening doesn't hurt though...

My bard on your server needs some elite completions.. I hate grinding low level quests for favor, and I need to open up 1750 so I can roll a second alt!

I hope you're careful about your investment in this project, Slashh. I have visions of you getting a bunch of new players in your Elite raids, having them go poorly as a result of their ignorance, and getting frustrated with everyone because of your new 'open door policy.'
