But we can't let it become a habit of people having to go mid raid. The hardness of the raid is directly proportional to the amount of chatter that is allowed. The harder it is, the less there should be. Raids aren't a social gathering to screw around. It takes discipline to not be typing chatter all the time.
Group say or private tells are for personal, non-raid issues or goofing off.
Nothing is more frustrating that people missing main assist re-assignments, or other critical information, and the raid leader having to repeat themselves multiple times. Yes, being on a raid is a lot like sitting in class at school. You are supposed to be paying attention to what is going on around you, and you are responsible for that material. If mobs are being pushed into bad places like walls, ceilings or to other mobs, BACK OFF and reposition. Use common sense and try to reposition the mob without having to be told.
