2 Things.
1 - Due to 7.30 being just a little bit too early for quite a few, raid time has now been moved to 8pm. I will stress that this means 8pm PULL though. As in be online, in the raid group, in the instance at 8pm.
After talking to *most* of you, it's apparent that's it is only 2-4 people that can't make Wednesdays raids. So Wednesday will be an optional raid night. If we have 20 on, we will raid. DKP will be awarded on Wednesdays
under normal rules, but half points. This includes Attendance and Punctuality points, even if we don't get 20 people on and cannot raid, those who did log on will receive points.
2 - We will have a sort of DKP system in place for loot from now on.
Rules/Point Rewards: (points halved on Wednesdays)
Raid Attendance (Present for the full raid night) = 10 (Subs included)
Raid Punctuality = 20 (Subs included)
~In raid group 5 minutes before pull
~In GA at pull time
Boss kills =
~ Alive at end of fight = 4
~ Dead at end of fight = 2
Provided dying was not required to help down boss
~ Subs = I will whisper/poke on ts3 etc and if you respond by the time loot is all distributed you will gain 1 point.
Yes, I know we are OCE and affected by lag. That is why there is not a large difference in points gained and you would need to be dead consistently to be largely affected by this.
25% decay for EVERYONE every Tuesday (Before Raid)
(To somewhat counter hoarding [I'm looking at you Milk])
10% decay for every un attendance (Wednesday not included)
(To put this part in perspective, it takes 3 weeks of not showing up at all to lose 1 week of full points)
Spending:
Main spec gets priority ALWAYS.
Minimum bid is 10 points.
If no one is willing to bid 10 points, but the item is legitimately an upgrade, it will go to the person with the worst piece in that slot, and 5 points will be deducted.
If the item is not an upgrade for any main specs, it will be open to off-specs. If more than 1 person wants the item for off-spec, they can bid (no minimum) or /roll. Any bid trumps a /roll.
I have a spreadsheet I will keep updated throughout every raid night, you can all view it and leave comments.

If you are wondering why we are bothering to do this, it's because;
1. We are going to start recruiting new members.
2. We are doing ^ because it's a bit annoying for the 15-17 people who log on ready to raid 3 nights a week but only get to raid 1 night just because 2-3 people don't log on.
3. Because ^ is how you start to lose reliable people permanently which will just mean no one will get to raid at all.
4. We would use EPGP if the gear in WS wasn't so whack. But I feel, and have talked to a few who also feel this is fair and needed. Lesbihonest rolling on raid loot is pretty lame.
P.S. THERE'S A CALENDAR ADDON CALLED YACalendar THAT I WILL BE USING. IT LETS YOU RESPOND WITH ATTENDING/NOT ATTENDING/UNCERTAIN TO EVENTS(i.e. raid nights) PLEASE GET IT.
