Yes, please feel to post QQ more. I'll get over it.
I have been invited to a few rusted drake runs, PUG's but they were successful. Amazing isn't it? Howeve, I saved my lock out for my guild, especially since I set up the raid. We spent weeks working on the Rusted Drake. I spent well over 1k g in repairs. Now I wouldn't complain about repairs if I hadn't busted my butt redoing achieves people had missed. I wouldn't even mention repairs if I hadn't been the only one who was there for every single raid. I asked people straight up, are you committed to getting this done? "Oh yeah! we're so close! We can do this!" Didn't happen. One achieve away from. Because we spent so much time dicking around for no shows or screw ups we took several extra weeks so we were left with the hardest boss for last with the least amount of time. I stayed by my guild for loyalty sake and got screwed. Yes, I am less than happy. Especially since this is not a first time experience. However it is one that does have a lasting effect in that, no rusted drake.
So what do you do? I don't want to be a guild hopper. Every guild has the same problems. So...basically I accept the fact that there are certain guildies who are not trust worthy, who won't put in the time, and can't be counted on to show up even if they hit confirm on an invite. And I do my own raids. Not guild raids. But committed player raids. The sad part is I set up my own 25m run and I have a couple guildies drop becuase Iw oudln't carry a new lvl 80 on an ICC 25m. I mean come on.
So I am not excited for Cata. I don't care to play tomorrow unless it's to turn horde and kill the bastards who let me down. I wasted patience, gold, time, frustration, commitment, on them. I chose to help them out because they said they wanted to get it done. And they dropped out.

You can still get the mount, it just doesn't give free 310%.
As for the problem, if you're unhappy in your guild why stay? There are plenty of guilds around.

I thought they were removing the rusted proto drake as a reward from the ulduar achievement? Did that change? I already have 310%
As far as why stay? Well show me a guild that won't have that problem? There are specific things I do want from a guild and my guild does have those things, a good many players are just not...dependable. And no, I don't expect you to call in sick for a raid, but I do expect people to be on time and prepared to go when you've signed up to attend something.

You'll find a handful of those kinds of people in damn near every guild. As far as the Drake, unless it's removed when Cataclysm actually launches, I'm pretty sure it's staying there. I saw it listed in the achievement pane still after 4.0.3a

Wrong. She expected common courtesy from people who play a game, from people who verbally committed to the effort. The only misnomer in that situation is that courtesy from people playing THIS game is not at all common.
Sorry Pally.  
For those of you who don't understand, Pally's story is an example of the difference between "progression" minded guilds and "casual" guilds. For those of you who think like Gutter, the story is an example of why the "elite" guilds don't want your casual asses.
