SOG One - One Molten Core raid for the whole guild!

[TeaLeaf]

SOG One - One Raid for One Guild:
The Field Marshalls are pleased to announce their plans for Molten Core raiding.

• The Guild will operate weekly raids to Molten Core each Wednesday evening, invites as usual at 19.15.
• The MC raids will be open to both mains and alts and to the whole Guild irrespective of membership type.
• The MC raids will be operated by the Commanders.
• MC raid places will be booked via a booking system like the current 20s booking system.
• Commanders will approve an appropriate class balance and spread of quality prior to each raid to give the raid a reasonable chance of success, as well as rotating those in each class to give everyone a chance to attend.  
• The run would not be open to RG2 mains in a week in which MC was on the RG2 schedule. Commanders will not approve RG2 mains to raid in such weeks, although alts are of course eligible.
• A rep-based system similar to ZG is to be used, although set at a much lower level.  This will reward attendance with a better opportunity to get Epic loot.  This would not use or earn DKP, thus having zero impact on the current DKP standings.  Setting the required rep levels at Friendly for Mains and Honoured for Alts should mean it is not too difficult to achieve for any character as reputation is gained so quickly in MC.  
• Legendary items - these will be prioritised to RG1 & RG2 mains and would have the attendant DKP cost where a main took the item as in these cases the Guild would be likely to support the cost of materials etc. For set items (like Bindings) priority goes to those who already hold one of the set items.  Where a legendary item goes to a non-RG1/2 main then there would be no DKP cost and Guild Bank would not subiside the legendary item being crafted.
• All non-epic drops go to Guild Bank to help cashflow.  All BOE epics where nobody Need rolls will also go to Guild Bank.
• All BOP recipes/patterns are given to a Field Marshall first, then a Marshall, then a Commander as first choice.  Where none are present or none need the recipe it would be an open roll to those in the raid.

We hope these announcements meet your general approval.  They allow Molten Core to continue to be a regular part of the SOG raiding scene for both RG1 & RG2 mains.  Importantly it also allows access to Molten Core, for the first time, to members not currently part of RG1 or RG2 and it also allows Alts to enter MC and gain access to MC and the Tier 1 epic loot therein.

The Field Marshalls wanted ALL members (including Alts) to have access to loot, so the loot system approved had to be simple and give realistic chances of getting loot to ALL members.  We believe that the above system will be simple to administer and fair to all members.

We are now setting up the necessary support systems to allow the raids to start and an announcement regarding the appointment new Commanders run both the MC and ZG & AQ20 raids will be made very shortly.  In the mean time we very much hope that this announcement is greeted with your unanimous approval.

Yippee! Although Wednesday nights are an infernally crap school night for me. Friday would be a much nicer option.

Well planned, a very good solution to those who lack gear in RG1/2 of MC. And to very quickly equip new members

Pointless whine: why o why does it have to be wednesday? - end of pointless whine.

Sounds like a great plan to get some more folks (both soldiers and alts etc.) into MC.  Good work :clap:

The only thing I would have changed, if I were to decide: I see you've put some restrictions on legendary drops (priority to RG1/2 mains).  These restrictions should also be used at tier2 leggings from Ragnaros, so that RG1/2 mains won't need to fight alts/soldiers to complete their tier2 sets.


Other than that, it's all sweet :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Pointless whine: why o why does it have to be wednesday? - end of pointless whine.

Because Friday and Saturday have already proved historically to provide abysmal attendance and all other days are occupied by either RG1 or RG2.
