Throughout the past few weeks, the guilds progression in 10 man has gone up tremendously. T1 and T2 have both been rockin. Hopefully one team will down the LK soon, which will open up a lot of doors for the guild.
When the king is down, that team will start adding some new recruits on the team. The goal is to find solid new players to help out with numbers in 25 man progression, and help the formation of a 3rd team.
Whichever team doesn't down the king will have several options to choose from. They will have the option of taking a few members who may know some of the fights the team doesn't know or experienced, choose to continue our 2 10man 1 25man schedule during the week, or they can choose to have 2 25 man nights and 1 10. This will completely be up to the team still on the road to the Lich King.
We will be trying to recruit some new members to guild within the next few weeks to try and build our numbers. It has been hard to do this because there are many people who show up weekly, and if we were recruiting, a lot more people would have to sit out more often. When one team downs the king, this will allow that team to have 5-6 of their members to sit, and come in after Blood Prince. This will be appealing for new guildies instead of saying to them "We don't have a current spot for you, only in 25's".
Our 25 man progression has still been slow. We have been stretching on who we bring in to 25 mans and have been taking a lot of VIP members. A VIP member is not a main raid member, will only get loot if nobody else needs, and will only get an invite if we have nobody else on who's a main raider. Until we can get a full 25 main raid members on consistently, we will be continuing our current schedule. I know a lot of people would like to go further, or have more nights for 25 man content. This will not be happening until some of the things above are accomplished.
I feel when we do get full swing into 25 man content, with a solild group of all raiders, we will have no problems on fester/rotface/VD/putricide because everybody knows the fights, and we will have fully geared and experienced raiders in the raid.
I am looking foward to the next few weeks, it should be exciting!
