On Saturday the 22nd, I called off a raid, due to lack of support. I understand some of you may already have a flag for which ever target is chosen. However, when time is taken out to do research and to lead these raids to get everyone's main flagged, and only 20ish people and only 2 clerics show up, it is disheartening and frustrating. The reason Kanmer, Ailyei and myself chose to lead raids is so more people would be Sol Ro flagged. I know more people show up for raids led by Wulfhere, however more people need to show up for Rhacer's and our raids as well. I need more people to stop worrying about their alts getting flags right now, and to help everyone get mains flagged first.
How Kanmer, Ailyei, and myself are doing these raids:
We are basically going through mobs in a order of some type so the same flag isn't repeated over and over. While we may run into the fact that a certain mob may not be up doing it this way, it does help to stop over repetitiveness.
What I'd like to see happen for raids:
1. More people attend on their mains, regardless of whether or not they have the flag. I understand if you have the flag how it seems to be a time sink to you, however the more people willing to just go and help the faster everyone can be flagged and working towards the elemental/time flags. Flagging just is a time sink no matter which way you look at it.
2. When a raid is scheduled for a certain time, try to get there earlier then that time. Kanmer, Ailyei and myself would like to be done buffing and heading out to a raid at the max of 30 mins after scheduled raid time. The reason behind this, is to cut down how much time is actually being spent for a raid. If we are using less time to group up and buff up, the faster we can get the raid over. Basically, I see it as less of a time sink that way.
3. Come prepared for a raid; buy potions, water, food and/or devices before a raid day. If you are going to be late and know it contact one of us so we can see about getting you there after we have started. You can email me at ShimmzCure@hotmail.com or, just leave a post for us on the target post I leave on boards.
Regarding Alts:
If you're main isn't needed then you may bring an alt. However, please show up with your main first before the scheduled time. And check to see if there is enough of your class to do it without your main. If you don't know that answer, please feel free to send me a tell, and I will let you know either way. The reasoning behind this view is this, I do tons of research on our target and know what we need to do the raid before hand. To me it's just a courtesy factor here.
Please feel free to post your comments or email me about this post. Most of you know I am in school and to lead raids is also a big time commitment as well.
