Maybe I expect too much

I've been growing increasingly annoyed with the raid groups I've been in recently. Pugs are - in general, and as expected - frustrating. But even what has become my frequent 10 man group has begun to bother me. All highly capable players, but seemingly unable to follow simple instructions in a manner that I find acceptable. I've always been a bit of a perfectionist, I realise that. However, I don't think that the expectations I have of them are overly high.

If I tell them to stack on me (or anybody else), I expect their character to be indistinguishable from that person - not stood within 5-10 yards of them.

If I tell them to stand somewhere, I expect them not only to stand there but to continue to stand there unless they're told they can move, they ABSOLUTELY HAVE to move, or are moved by an enemy.

I expect ranged to actually STAY at range. If they can attack from 30-40 yards away, I expect them to be close to 30 or 40 yards from an enemy unless they're told otherwise.

I expect EVERYBODY (with the possible exception of the other tank) to stay behind me. Not stood with me and certainly not stood in front of me, unless I tell them otherwise.

I know what I want, and I expect to get it. I'm not asking them to be the greatest players in the world ever, just to do simple things in a professional manner.

So, you tell me. Am I asking for too much or is my annoyance justified?

We keep on going with nowhere to go

I haven't updated for a while, so let me catch you up.

My guild - Rebirth - exploded. Guild Leader quit WoW, one officer quit WoW, another officer joined another guild. The majority of the active raiders then quit, and I was left wondering what the hell to do.

I joined a guild with some people from my first guild. They're good people, and competent, but there aren't many of us. I think the most people we've had online that I've seen is six - not enough to put together a raid.

But I have been raiding. Not with my new guild, or at least not with all of them. We've formed a 10 man group of people from a number of guilds, and haven't been doing too badly (we downed Mimiron earlier). When we started a few weeks ago I was the only one who had killed a boss past Kologarn so there were lots of wipes whilst they were learning the bosses.

I've also started PvPing. Nothing hardcore, just the occasional battleground when I get bored and Wintergrasp if I'm doing nothing else when it starts. Retribution PvP - even in crap PvE gear - is surprisingly fun. I used to just do PvP on my first character (a Warrior) and I don't remember it being this enjoyable.

That's about it. Nothing particularly exciting.
