Raiding as we go forward

[Kevin]

My biggest issue with a point system is one coming up with one that everyone likes and not putting in the feeling that now the goal is points and loot, even it is I don't want it to feel that way. Two managing and tracking it all. I know it can be done, but I don't want to do it. While I say I want rules you'll also note that I want to keep them as loose and flexible and closer to guidelines as possible. I rely on good human nature too much probably. :)

Of course this coalition probably won't become a group that is completely loot driven. Of course IA isn't fully loot driven either some members are many aren't though in my experiences. I've seen guild and avarice comments about farming trash mobs in Molten Core on non raid nights. There were several responses of, yeah that would give good chances at loot and help us out, but there are other things I want to do like PvP or 5 man this instance or play an alt. And these weren't all comments from me either so :P

Adding a 3rd night was a big deal but it works out that most people are still only going to be raiding one or two nights a week and the pool is big enough that people can simply not go some night if they don't feel like it. So I don't really have fears of Lurkers/CA/HH/et al become an hard core raid group.

I don't think a point system would hurt us but I still don't want one. I want everyone to have loots and be happy but yeah loots have to drop first. :) Anyway. I've seen several good agruments for a point system and I agree that it really won't hurt the people who are there one night a week as opposed to two or three. But I still don't want to go that way.

Of course I'm the one who decided that the worms needed to be be all of the table and not just left in their can. :)
