Rosa,
Please believe me when I say I know exactly how you feel. As an officer in the guild I also know all of the founding members and several others in RL. I also have been left out of more Kara Raids than I have been in I think! All of the officers are adults (late 20’s and 30’s…accept Uda. he is much older), yes we are super nerdy adults, but we have the advantage of wisdom and maturity on our side. I can promise you that being RL friends does not guarantee you a spot.

I have also been privy to the group planning and Raid set up/makeup. I have been in on the conversations where the decision to leave someone behind was down right painful. Hell, I’ve even booted myself for the good of the Raid! FSE is in a great spot right now. We have an opportunity to take our Raiding to the next level. We are working on some fun new ideas that may include some sort of inter-guild Kara Raid competition, where two teams or death squads or whatever you want to call them will see who can clear the instance first. 

The point is (yes I have one…) we are growing. The days of having just enough to put together a mismatched Kara run or now, ZA run are over. We only need a few more quality FSE recruits to have consistent numbers to have two raids going at once. I am so excited!! Until that happens, we are going to be forced to make these tough decisions. I was not on last night. I wish I was. It sounds like I could have helped out in one of the Raids. Over the next few days and weeks, ZA is going to be in every ones mind. We all wanna go and check it out. But, from what I understand ZA is real tough. Especially for first timers like us. This new place is more difficult than Kara. Group makeup is going to be very important for a while.
