who knows. most likely it's nothing to do with your comment but just because a guildy logged on and they wanted to invite them.
i'm constantly glad that i don't have to deal with LFD at all.

Cause lust on trash is bad? Either that or they kicked you to invite a guildie.

So i was wondering, how are my fellow locks doing progression wise?
Myself I am not doing bad with the 24 other players I am leading ;)
Currently at 6/12 of 25 mans, which makes us the
number one horde guild of the server
:)

Ouch. 42 guilds on my server are ahead of your guild Rekijan. Unfortunately I'm still waiting on my broadband to start working so I still havn't been able to download the patches yet. No raiding for me... /wrists
However, Gratz! You're half way to hard modes!

Nice, we're only 3/12 having trouble with Halfus atm.

I wish I had any progression.
As it stands I have yet to do even step into Baradin Hold.
Also, can anyone recognize my icon? =D

7/12 here, but on my druid main (so not sure if it counts :D). Chimaeron should go down this week, if we don't get another wipe night on Atramedes ... And our Throne run didn't compose this week, so didn't get any more Al'Akir attempts :(
Btw, I hate 1% wipes on ascendant council. So painful -_-
Edit: concerning my lock, I'm farming BGs when I'm capped on arena points, buying expensive gear with honour and cheap(ish) gear with conquest points. Funnily, I'm running with 2 rogues now in 2v2, which means I need to play another 5 games (well, wins that is) after I'm capped to give the second rogue his points :)

Cynn, 11/12, 6th 10 man guild.
We've only raided 7 raid nights now since the ninth of January, compared to the ones before us, who started raiding weeks before us, and raid 5 nights a week compared to our 3. :D
Strict 10 man raid heroics will be interesting now, seeing as if you rank all the strict 10 man guilds in the world, the best ones have only managed 6/13 HC so far. Gulp.

is there any such thing as strict 10 any more?
since you're locked to both and the same gear drops there's no advantage to mixing and you can't use one to boost the gear for the other.
i'm at 4/12 now.
@interest, is that tommy wiseau?

I'd say 10man has a few advantages. Easier to overview as a RL (I think), easier to spread out, less people who can screw up the attempt (o hai atramedes), less signs needed to get a full group ...
But I still find 25man more pleasant somehow.

well "10m strict" used to be giving yourself a real disadvantage by foregoing all the 25m loot that was available. they were listed separately on progression sites to recognise that their progression would almost certainly be slower.
i can see how, now, 10m would be preferable/easier but there's always been fights where having less people available can make an otherwise simple strategy seriously stressful.
i was really just wondering if the progress sites still bothered to use the word "strict"?
i can see that you would want to list 10m and 25m progression but strict doesn't really work any more.

well wowprogress still mentions 10man or 25man in brackets next to the guild name when you watch realm rankings.

I don't know how accurate wowprogress' statistics are. Although if you look at it, there must be SOME reason why the ones listed as 10 man are so far behind the ones listed as 25 man.
To our experience so far, 10 man are quite unforgiving. If one guy dies, whatever role he has, the role suffers very hard from it, and the bosses usually reach enrage timers, squash tanks or just wipe all of you.
Sure, you have a point with the spreading out and the raid leader having a better overview over everybody, but I don't know. They seem to be pretty balanced though. 10 man and 25 man that is.
I'll get back to you when we've started with hard modes.

that's been my experience leading a 10man raid. if someone dies it's basically over. combat resses can, of course, be really useful sometimes but that's the minority of cases.
my guess would be that the main reason 25 is ahead of 10 is that the serious raiding guilds from wrath who were already set up and ready to go with cataclysm raids were all 25m. perhaps it might even out as we get deeper into cata tiers...

Not too bad...only 2/12 so far, but I know out guild can do better. We've been having a ton of attendance issues, our warrior offtank in particular, so that pretty much hinders our progress. We tried Halfus first but it ended up being a wipefest due to the fact that it was our first raid AND we got like the worst possible combination of dragons (with NO whelps T.T) After failing on that about 8 times we three-shotted ODS and two shotted magmaw.
Something that I find odd is that I seem to be one of the least geared DPS, but I'm pulling the most by quite a substantial margin...I don't know if it's that I'm good or if the others aren't...

quite a substantial margin
http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-sbew4qqbucebtrgo/sum/damageDone/?enc=bosses
Top and bottom aren't even 3% apart.
Argaloth is nice and all but one fight doesn't say a lot about how everyone in your raid is doing.

Gotcha...TBH I haven't really done much raiding. I guess it helps if I look at all the fights collectively.
