Terenas 1/27

I am sure we are all of one accord as to what we type of players we'd like to ally with. I do have some questions though that I'd like feedback on.

1. What is the best way to handle loot distribution on a large raid with 2 or more guilds involved?

2. Prior to forming a large raid, is it advisable to do some 5 man mixed runs to see if we are compatible?

1. I like the zero sum system (even if Aleri is hosed by it on SR because of the lack of priest loot that drops for us in MC). For the 40 man stuff, we use zero sum. For the <40 man raids, we generally do more like PUG loot rules, with more flexibility of course since we know folks better.

2. 5 mans or smaller raids would be a good idea to see if things can work. 5 mans don't really show raid mentalities though so there should also be smaller mixed raids planned as well. The more I've been playing in ZG lately, the more it does feel like good testing for how things would work in a 40 man for any alliance we may make. There's more chance for confusion about main assists, secondary tanks, possibility of healer rotations or if you'll just fall into a less structured healing setup, how long folks can actually remain focus on their jobs than in 5 or 10 mans. The Drakk fight in UBRS helps test the waters too, but getting there is easy peasy so it's not as draining as fighting your way through the first few encounters of MC and still needing to be able to focus to continue on well.
