Raiding, What do people want to do?

As far as I see it, we have a few options

1) Do we want to arrange raiding 3-5 times a week?
...... Justification: We seem to be gathering together nightly for heroics anyways, you'll get more badges/hr by doing naxx than you would by doing heroics, also, more ppl can participate in a raid than a heroic group.

2) Raid 2 Nights a week, Naxx/OS/WG one night, Ulduar/OS/WG the next, periodically keeping the raid ID's extended so that we can get full clears of what we want.

3) Ignore Raiding, continue w/ just heroics?

a) a firm note, I'll participate, but I won't set up or run any 25-man stuff other than OS. The drama and headaches that are caused are not worth the rewards.

b) There will be no set group, only occassions for Mains or ones like OS last night where we struggle along w/ alts. There won't be a preferred raid group, only whoever logs on first &/or who can raid the alloted time.

c) HUGE NOTE: While raiding, whatever toon you are on for that raid is your Main, whatever spec, is your main. Alot of guild drama is caused by mentalities like, "Thats his alt, this is my main, I deserve that upgrade." Random loot systems are as fair as you can get, roll on what you need, pass on what you don't.

d) For Raiding, a new loot system a friend instigated in his guild & seems to work well: Everyone Passes on all gear, one person, takes everything until the end of the raid time, then the loot is divied up by rolls.

e) What raiding times are best for everyone. I realize some people can't make it all nights at all times but, what are your general times, what days are definately not open. Are WoW calendar invites best for everyone? Do you need personal invitations to remind you to log on at XX time or are statements like raiding every tues/thurs/sat/sun @ 5pm server time good?

f) I have every sunday off, I'm open to the idea of getting a Naxx run going on sunday w/ the intent to do a full clear or shooting 1 hour per wing so 5 hours. This will of course be rough until all the people in the group get used to the pulls and wings.

g) If we get enough people on, maybe we can set up 2 raid groups.

What do you guys want (hopefully, more than the usual 4-5 ppl respond :P)

Sunday Raid

Grats to all the raiders from yesterday. We downed Obsidian Sanctum with 1 drake up in only 2 tries and then proceeded to single shot Flame Leviathan, Razorscale and XT in Ulduar. Try and read up on all the Ulduar bosses and strategies for 1,2 and 3 drakes up OS (3 might be pushing it, I've heard it's ridiculous). Anyway, great job yesterday...good to be raiding again with all our new gear.

Raid - Every Sunday @ 3 pm server

Informal, No set group, no set goal, no progression, no hassle, no guarantees.

The idea... get together on a sunday afternoon and kill stuff.
Priority = Down OS w/ some drakes down, get the hang of it, then do OS3D + get some badges.
2nd = WG if we own it, down first boss always, work on second.
3rd = Ulduar, first 4 bosses on farm, simple. work on ones after that.

Any ideas?

BORED!!!

Alright, tomorrow is sunday, lets try to get a Naxx-10 or OS10, WG10 run going tomorrow. Perhaps around 3pm server time?

Naxx-10 is still better for farming conquest badges so Other than needing 2 tanks and 2 heals, any alts or mains will work. Lets get the guild some gear. Also, we need a disenchanter!!!! :)

The Return Of: What Are You Ready For?

So I know it's been a couple of months since I've updates this and I thought with all the new gear might be fun to see where everyone's at. Also, pending Lash's permission, I think we should redo the guild rankings a little so people will now what they can run, especially as our gear will only be getting better. The new rankings would be Trial of the Crusader (ToC), Ulduar (Uld) and Heroics (Hero). As always:
