alien jackhammer a horde guild on arthas since 2007 (and now SW:TOR)

To raid or not to raid…

Without going into vast amounts of details, decisions, etc... I want to bring up some simple facts so everyone is on the same page.  I spoke to another guildie about this; as well as my officers in the past.  First off, I've been leading raids and a guild for many years and I know one simple thing... I can't make everyone happy.  There's always going to be hurt feelings, disappointment and disagreement.

What I do want to do, is keep the same feel and pace we are familiar with; without causing additional drama.  This is the period where most guilds fall apart (the lull between expansions).  We'll be here, even if we don't raid...

Anyway, what I want everyone to do is this... Sign up early for the raids.  The day before, we will be choosing who is primary and who is backup.  If you sign up, you are expected to at least show up (even if you are backup) to make sure the primary is on and raiding.  We will try and integrate people as needed to maximize the raid makeup as well as give people what bosses/gear they need.

At this point, there are a few of us who need minimal (or nothing).  Also, if you raided on Wednesday and still need the second half; you will get preferential treatment for Monday.  If there's nothing you need, please put yourself as 'tentative'.

I'll discuss this more in depth tonight.  See you all then!
