Nice post.  I agree with you, last night we grouped up, had 10 people and didn't start running until 45 mins after we started grouping.  Even the slowest mount in the game could get from anywhere in the world to Kara in less than 45 mins.

If you're serious about raiding, stop what you're doing and come raid with us.  Last night there was at least 3 people I know of that wanted to come, were ready to come and didn't get spots.

If you cant be in Deadwind Pass right when we start the group that's fine, some nights it'd be pointless to sit out there.  But what you need to do is as soon as the group gets going, start heading that way.  Make sure you're prepared to raid before you even get the invite, when you do get it, be curteous to the people who are there and get there in a timely manner.  

Dont count on a summon, they are a luxury and can help speed things up, but sometimes there is a lot of red outside the entrance and it's just not going to happen.  

And about being an indian, I think you're right, having a casino would be really relaxing.

Oh yeah and dont creep up.
