Yes, they might have go on and pulled, but at least he done something differently trying to salvage the situation. If he had done that, I would feel that the RL is COMPLETELY at fault here, but the fact is he didn't, maybe it is just me, I don't like people who obviously in some kind of trouble on their end and refused to do anything about it.

I had really bad lag issues back in Wrath, I volunteered to sit out so that the raid can proceed normally, if I acted like Vent, I would have said, "hey guys, my lag is really bad."

Then what? What can the rest of the raid do for me? Of course in the case of Vent, the RL could have done the explanation of the fight in raid chat, but he might just be a jerk or too lazy or whatever.

But I am sure Vent is leaving something out of his letter, I seriously doubt, 9 people would have ignored him completely and allowed the raid to run itself to the ground. I can never handle more than 3 wipes before I take things into my own hands and start telling people what to do. =p
