Besides the usual shit-slinging (I'm not about to go into that) I just wanted to point something out. Your assumptions that we pointed out a fair rolling system because it "really goes to show how hard the ninja accusations hit" is totally ignorant and off-base. We need to make one thing clear. We don't give a flying fuck about "ninja accusations" with no PROOF. Oh no! Looks like we'll keep on marching along huh. I'll say it again, and for the last time: Provide proof of these ninja events and show everyone what we are! Oh wait, you can't? Then fuck off with that inane bullshit.
People take this game seriously, like I imagine you do, coming to defend Chunkles; he was really good natured! You were there, and you also saw the Stormstrike right? He isn't the sole reason the raid failed. Get over yourself. Your projections of feels over reals really stand out with that. Did we have a MS warrior? Yep! Did we advise him to change his spec? Yep! If I were you I would advise Chunkles to not stormstrike in raids, problem solved!
I hope you in no way take offense to the above, because I never once called Chunkles a bad player. People can make changes to become better without getting offended, I hope. He probably rocks pvp.
One last thing before I get into the reasons. Our Main Tank does NOT use MS. That was a different warrior completely. Sorry about that slot :D
The raid failed because of:
Inexperience (at the time): Many of us (including myself) are players who haven't stepped foot in MC since retail vanilla. Should we have researched before? Yeah for sure! Do we learn from our mistakes? You betcha. This is definitely the biggest reason. Even still, we have plenty of people who know MC like the back of their hand and they are actively teaching new guildies about what to do.
Lack of proper coordination: The leadership hierarchy was admittedly not what it should have been. Lots of people were in the discord, but not all. So communication was split. Since you were there I hope you'd have at least noticed the raid warnings I kept putting out because people just weren't getting into proper position (some of the time). Stacking on those lava surgers was challenging!
To anyone else reading this, if you like not giving a crap about others' opinions, come on down! We'd love to have ya. Moreso if you happen to be a priest, mage, or druid. But we take all classes. Not lvl 60 yet, but almost there? No matter! We will take lvl 50+ players and happily help you get your Pre-Bis.
But man I am loving this drama. So juicy. Mm MMM
