Title: Invites
Post by: JonnyAppleSeed on October 04, 2009, 07:41:00 PM
Rant start ... Rocked up to raid and felt i had to give up my spot. The reason for this was more than one of us were inviting healers .. before i know it we are filled with memebers who have just turned up on spec getting a spot over people that have put the time aside and signed up days in advance..... class needs yeh understand
Rant over


Im thinking of confirming the raid spots a day before or at least lock out the sign ups 30 mins before as to stop it happening again

Confirming spots would be great. You all should be moderators, and maybe we should extend that to class leaders too so we can get all sorted a day before hand.

It would make life a lot easier before the raid.

Aye this is something we can do beforehand. I wouldn't mind personally, if I can manage to remember it. If every officer can do so for their own 'area of expertise' so to say? Like Necro or me would take tanks, Jas/Evo healers and so on..  And give CL these rights too?

Feel ya pain m8......no way should/will a member be invited before an officer who constantly performs ever happen again !!!!
Bad on whoever invited anyone before one of the class officers ! we rock up all the time every time and perform...when we dont feel free but until then please make sure of invites before pressing the button.
i know how i would feel if that had been me misssed out on the first Thorim kill after putting in so much...do think on and lets not have this happen again please !.
 
Sorry it was you had to suffer Jas..i'm gutted for ya !
 
Had i seen the situation at the time i would have shouted loudest.

I have no idea how it happened as evo was sorting the healers out and Jas was in the lineup!

Hmm well this was one on my part which id like to say is kinda unavoidable.. we had 9/10 healers turn up for 7 spaces so some had to drop. I myself had agreed to drop and jim dropped too. However this left you guys with no pala so jas told me I should go and he would sit the night out..

Ill say something and want this to be taken in the correct manner - if your not happy sitting the night out then dont say you are, you could have happily taken my spot and I would have bounded about mining n what not.

I still dont like that bit i want it to sound nice but however i write it it looks like im havin a stab as jas.

Ill try and keep a closer eye on who gets invited and who doesnt.

Taken the right way .. it not an issue sitting out it will happen ... I was more upset with people signing up 5 mins before and getting in the raid when the ones that sat out had been signed up for some time (hugs)

Keep in mind you want everyone in the raid for DKP.  You can then sort who gets a spot.  Different approach to it maybe and just do a mass invite?

It's down to class leaders to sort. Tanks, healers, ranged and melee. Any that are not required are moved to slot 6 and up. Of course prio should be to people who were standby last time, but it is down to the class leaders to get this sorted.

As the dkp is so new, and the invite all and move to 6 is too, it'll take a few goes to get it perfect. But we will get there and unfortunately we will not please everyone all the time.

I could use a bit more assistance sorting the group out by the CL's though as I normally end up shuffling them myself.
