Hey everyone! Thanks for all the feedback over the past week and a half. Clearly this is a sensitive topic for a lot of people, and I applaud the maturity with which it was handled.
So here you will find our suggested raiding format. I'd like you all to take a look at it and let us know what you think. We think that it is a solid compromise that should make the majority of our tribesmates pretty happy. We're eagerly awaiting feedback, and wanting to hear peoples' questions, comments, and concerns, so that we can settle on a solution that will satisfy the Tribe. Have a look!
Communication:
An obvious priority is to revamp the outland raiding forum to make communication easier between folks who want to go and raids that have open slots. We will have one location where all openings for the week are posted, and where people can come to express their interest in filling those openings.
Raid Rotations:
Each week, one of the three existing raids would open up three slots to allow new folks to come along. Raid members would decide among themselves who was willing to step out for that week. Via the new, easy to use, revamped raiding forums, new folks would be matched to open slots.
It could look something like this (may not be presented in exactly this format depending on the forums are organized, we might make use of the calendar more heavily):
Week of Sept 3-9
Vanguard: Rotation Week: Need 2 DPS, 1 tank
SnG: No expected openings
Entourage: Need DPS 6 p.m. Friday.
Week of Sept 10-16
Vanguard: Need secondary tank. 6 p.m. Saturday.
SnG: Rotation Week: Need healer, DPS, tank
Entourage: No expected openings.
Week of Sept 17-24
Vanguard: No expected openings
SnG: No expected openings
Entourage: Rotation Week: Need 2 DPS, 1 healer
Week of Sept 25-Oct 1
Vanguard: Rotation Week: Need healer, tank, DPS
SnG: Need DPS 6 p.m. Friday.
Entourage: No expected openings
...and so on.
New Fourth Raid:
Psion and others have taken the idea of a learning raid and are running with it- great! When this gets off the ground, more folks may be tied to a Kara instance and fewer will be available to fill rotation slots; existing raids would need to reduce the number of slots they open up during rotation week at that point.
Thoughts? Concerns? Love it? Hate it? Let us know!
