I am surprised by the vitriol directed at this poor DK. Personally, I tend to agree with him, but of course, it depends on lots of other things. If you're in a 10man guild that only downs the first 5 or 6 ICC10 bosses, you're not that special. Give them a fair shot at loot that they could easily obtain in a pug raid. If however, you're down 1 dps for a ICC25 Lich King, I think it's completely fair to let the pug know beforehand that they won't be able to win X, Y, Z, or that you'll compensate them in other ways.

Well, in this particular case, the "poor DK" did say his guild has only done one wing, as they're very casual, so that would definitely drop him in the "you're not that special, get over it" category, I think.

I definitely understand how he's feeling, but I still think he needs to suck it up, or recruit more people, or come down on those no-show guildies, rather than punishing the PuG.
