Your A,B,C Raid-Tier System sounds interesting.
Unfortunately Raidleaders of IFFHDS have opted to go another way: Because different people want to raid different objectives (MC, BWL, AQ), raid leadership decided that everyone is morally oblieged to participate in every raid type, to help each other out. The reasoning behind this is, that if everyone would only go on their preferred raids, we would not be able to do raiding at all anymore.
Then we have a rule that once you particpated on an MC run with your Main, you are allowed to take one of your alts on the next MC run, unless raidleadership decides otherwise (to few healers, bad luck friend). This provides another incentive to do MC runs.
And then there are the "We do not have perfect raid compostion today anyway" raid objectives downgrades. I made some enemies when I had left the raid, as it was downgraded from a schelduled AQ to an MC raid, because the raid composition wasn't supposedly even good enough even for BWL.
And finally there is the Nef problem: Although most of BWL is firmly on farm status now, killing Nef is still a major time sink for us, as it usally requires some attempts and you have the stupid 15min Cooldown between each attempt.
So we usally clear BWL upto Nef on one day, and do Nef the other day prior to AQ. Doing Nef can take a while, and after he finally goes down, everyone is to tired to make any serious AQ attempts. We have not downed Huhu so far, yet Nef because of his fat loot is higher in the priority list then AQ content.
Nef is due to the length of the encounter itself and the moronic 15 min cooldown imho such a #$%&ty encounter, that I hate it almost as much as MC.
