Raider Meeting Fails etc

Right, so trying to organize everyone at this time of the year is nearly impossible. That's totally cool.
I've decided instead of trying to do that, I'd make a blog post and then you can all give me your feedback.
This goes for the officers as well - I need good constructive feedback.

Just putting this out there in the wind: If we moved the guild from Gundrak, would you follow?

Reasons: Gundrak is CRAP. Its nearly impossible to find GOOD people to pug with - all the good ones are in guilds or have transferred off server. No smaller guilds are interested in doing a partnership and I am unwilling to join another guild in order to progress my raiding.

At this stage (and this is after much research over the last few weeks), we're looking at either Barthilas or Frostmourne. These two realms have a really good base of people, progression is great and the AH seems to be a lot cheaper as well (not that it really matters haha).

Now I understand that changing realms can be a little pricey - $32.08NZD per toon and $24.40AUD (you bastards), so I'd be happy if you were to perhaps just shift one raiding toon to start with to see how it goes. I personally have 3x 85's to move as the professions all compliment each other, so I'd move my Priest to begin with.
The entire guild structure and bank etc would move with me as well. And it will cost me more to do it than it will to you, because Blizzard like money etc.
To read up about how the actual process works, theres a link here: link

So anyhoo, hopefully I havent baffled you all too much - please not that this change will NOT happen until I have heard from all of my raiders/officers. PLEASE let me know what you think - I do value your opinions, I really do. I just want us all to be happy and to progress etc.
Oh and remember that these servers are high population, so start thinking of new names for your toons if you have an ordinary one like myself, go chuck a place holder toon on each server just in case!

December Raiding

This month we are doing:
  • Thursday - Firelands (currently 6/7)
  • Sunday - Dragon Soul (currently 2/8)
Also, we have optional Wednesday where we do something we all want to do. If that happens to be Firelands it means we will have time for Rag attempts on the Thursday.

We have reset EP/GP points for Dragon Soul. For firelands, gear is just rolled on , except for T12 Shoulder, where the order is the order that points were in before Dragon Soul came out:
  • Mathilde > Lusignan > Pallyative
  • Cornflakes > Gallius > Crepuscula
  • Farolyn > Arguk

Mains and Alts

We don't have a "main" toon and "alt" toon system; if your toon is ready for raiding then you can raid on it. Play the toon you enjoy the most.

Of course, we have got to have the right number of tanks, dps, and healers for the fights -- so we may have to ask people to play a particular toon or spec in order to make up the numbers, and we appreciate people like Gallius who are willing to swap to what is needed.

Our loot system applies to the person, not the toon; so each person gets their fair share of the loot.
