Guild Turnover

Recently Darkfall lost its best geared holy priest as well as a (annoying) tank and a pally. A week or three earlier the priests really good spriest friend had left, claiming our raid times weren't right for him anymore. Now I'm not at all sorry to see the tank leave; he was an idiot and annoying to boot. But the spriest and the holy priest had joined Darkfall before they were 70, and the guild had done a lot of work to gear them up. Not just giving them drops, but farming and transmuting and tailoring. So it's a bit of a slap in the face to see them leave and go to another guild.

The holy priest made a rather lame post on the guild boards saying "it's not you, it's me", Darkfall wasn't fun for her anymore, and she wanted to try other guilds. I've heard from a couple of sources that the holy priest's issue was really the lack of "progress". Now a fair amount of the recent lack of progress is due to us being short a healer when she bails on showing up for a raid. And some of it has been that Labor Day weekend was back to back with the Gl being gone for a week, both of which put a crimp in raiding. But both of these situations are the standard "Whaa! I have loot from boss X, lets move on to boss Y," with a complete disregard for the other people in the guild who still need loot.

The lack of team work and selfishness shown by that attitude is completely infuriating to me. I understand that sometimes a guild doesn't fit a person, and it's just better to move on. But moving on because you don't have enough patience to help the people who helped you is rude and obnoxious.
