At the previous officer meeting, we decided to make a few change to the rules.

Naxx25 is scheduled on Saturday night now. Sapphiron and Kel’Thuzad will give 100 EP each and have their loot (still valued at half GP) determined by EPGP PR. The other bosses award no points, their loot is determined by random rolls, and there is no on-time points or end of raid points. Although we are lax about alts attending Naxx25, a minimum gear check is still enforced. If you show up in mostly greens/blues, you will not be allowed to raid with that character. In other words, no free rides.

Starting Tuesday the 26th, people are only allowed to have 1 main character. All others characters are considered alts and do not have priority for raid invites or loot. If the raid leader asks you to switch for the purposes of raid class/role balance, that alt will be treated as a main for that particular raid, and have equal rights to loot. You still build EPGP as normal, shared across all characters. Your main must be your best geared toon. Switching mains requires Guru approval.

Attendance to raids will now be tracked. Every other Monday night (the first will be 2 weeks from now), we will compile a list of everyone who, in the previous 2 week period, attended 4 or more raids total, at least 1 of which was a Progression event. If someone did not make the required minimum, they will be demoted to Member and no longer have priority for raid invites. Those who did attend the required minimum will be prompted to Raider (or remain a Raider if they already were).

These rule changes may seem strict, but they are necessary as many people have been abusing our leniency to milk the guild for loot. Quite frankly, we’re sick of the greed and the laziness. If you think you can just coast behind the people who are doing the majority of the work, to take as much as you can while purposefully contributing as little as possible, this is not the guild for you.

Our goal is to progress, to see new content and conquer it. That requires diligence (HA!) and commitment. While we feel there is value in having people with more than one toon, but it seems like we’re distributing the loot just too thinly at the moment. We want people to pick a toon, focus on it, become as skilled as they can at playing it, bring it to as many raids as they can, and learn the fights backwards and forwards.
