Dead Men Walking

Following up on last night's discussion how about this for a draft text.  I have added some points that will need discussion, but as they occured to me I typed them, so feel free to comment and shoot things down or change them.  The system would need some DKP edits unless we changed it to a fixed weekly rota but I guess that bit and the rest of it is for further discussion.

QuoteLast night in Molten Core, RG1 disenchanted 8 epic items (http://sog.siteburg.com/viewmember.php?s=&name=Disenchanted). The frequency of an epic DE is increasing and this is largely due to many members having most or all relevant MC items already. In order to counter this relative waste of Epic items the Officers intend to make some small changes to the raiding system on a trial basis:

• Each week we will try to allow one high-specced member of RG1 to switch into RG2 for the MC run (this will mean swapping a Thursday run with RG1 for a Thursday and Monday run with RG2).
  
• Whilst the RG1 member would raid with RG2 that week, they would earn DKP in line with the the normal RG1 raid (i.e. they will not lose DKP by volunteering to go with RG2).
• A maximum of one RG1 member per class can move to the RG2 MC raids each week.
• One member of RG2 from each class will be selected by Officers to join the RG1 MC raid each week. Selection will be at the Officers' discretion, but will include consideration of existing equipment, attendance, DKP and other aspects.
• If the RG1 member raids with RG2 on Thursday but then does not turn up to raid on Monday with RG2 then their DKP would be halved.
• The RG2 member joining RG1's raid would gain at the same rate as RG2 progresses that week, thus not giving them an infair DKP advantage over RG2 members.
• As normal, RG2 members will be eligible to spend their DKP on items dropping in the RG1 raid.
• RG1 Members will be allowed to nominate themselves as 'done with MC' but the final decision as to who moves to RG2 for that week will remain with the Officers.

This process of inter-change between RG1 and RG2 should allow:

• Better mixing and socialising between members of both raid groups


• A faster upgrade in the level of armor etc worn by RG2 members
• Improved resilience for the RG2 raid due to the presence of some experienced RG1 members in each class.
• Improved class tactical support due to an RG1 member being in each class to help lead that class in their role in MC
• An improved level of experience of MC boss fights for RG2 through experience of a full MC clearance with RG1.
• A decrease in the number of epic items needing to be disenchanted.
• No DKP bias to those taking part.
• This system will not mean an RG2 member blocks an RG1 member from getting a place in the RG1 raid as the RG2 member will be 'swapped' with an RG1 member who was already in the RG1 raid.

I have just two words

Beau * tiful

This is a very good idea, and i have to say that it could also be more than 1 person that switched

The above allows for a total of 8 to move, one per class.

Ah yes.... thats true

Anyone else got some comments?

DUDE!
Thaught you were leaving guild with that topic :huh:


Wil we be using signup and rolling between the ones we think would do best.
And how wil members of rg1 take ith that RG2 members get in when they don't get into RG1? If all RG1 members show upp and 8 go to RG2 and 8 RG2 come to RG1. How do we exsplain it to them ? what are we giving them for theyr dedication / Tho it sometimes seem to be lacking.

go right ahead :P

That's the way I would envisage it until we have a web-based signup system.  So tongiht we should set up the RG1 raid, then set up the RG2 raid and then switch those that we want to switch (and where we have an RG1 member who is happy to swap their OL/MC run for OL/MC on two nights with RG2.
