A raid in World of Warcraft is when 25 people get together on a specific time and day, bring all their magic items and sharpen their swords to, essentially, go slay the dragon.
It's a lot of fun and I've been doing it 3-4 days a week for over a year now, with intermittent breaks for holidays / exams / lack of dragons.
Today my World of Warcraft guild has decided that the continuous absenteeism, lack of commitment, and overall laziness of some of the people we bring along has essentially gutted our ability to perform these raids, and we've put them on indefinite hold.
It's like someone threw a party, you make the reservations and bring in catering, and when they turn up (if they turn up) they're not socializing and leave after an hour.
It really ruins the fun for everyone, especially the ones who brought canapes and broke out the twister set.
What pisses me off the most is if we get started again it'll be pretty much square 1 in terms of achievement, as we'll probably have to retrain and re-outfit quite a few people.

What do you do with the slain dragon? Village barbecue?
If it's the first time we've killed it, we cheer, then stand around its slain corpse and take commemorative screenshots. After that we distribute the loot and go on to the next dragon.
If it's a repeat kill, repeat all the above, minus the screenshots.
