I don't think I've ever heard an AM Officer "name and shame" either. Things that cost us mobs have always been kept as general advice rather than individual blame. During the pull-to-zone era, apps and other people new to pulling were encouraged to get their feet wet and not stand back for fear of failure, with one officer often stating some variation of "Don't worry, I've lost us more dragons than you've killed" - the attitude has always been that not stepping up is worse than trying and failing.

The opening/closing door thing wasn't play quality, it was someone deliberately sabotaging pulls. The door was closed as soon as it was opened, and opened again as soon as it closed. This wasn't a new player unsure of what to do, or an established player making a mistake, it was someone intentionally trolling their own guild - and particularly poorly timed as another raid had not gone well.

Making mistakes has never gotten me any vitriol in AM, and the time I got us murdered in ToV (it was very obviously me because it caused an FTE to go out, fuckin dragon snitches), an officer just sent me a tell to ask what happened, that was it. I felt terrible but absolutely no one, leadership or normal guild member, gave me any shit for it.

I have heard of a certain Riot officer being a condescending dickhead when members voice their critiques of how raids are being led, but much like the idiotic door situation, I can believe that was just an isolated situation with bad timing and not indicative of a larger attitude problem with Riot's leadership [You must be logged in to view images.
