Raid size is up to 30 just to solidify that. Inviting random people should always be a welcome thing. If you check out the roster of people that have signed up, even though it has what.. 40-45 people signed up - thats a shit load of Yellow. So maybe two groups is jumping the gun a little bit.
If a person from here is flaky, its whatever. But to put it another way, if a person isnt there, they arent getting gear or experience. Thus theyre dead or their DPS/Heals is going to suck. I dont think anyones worried about some dead weight, but none of us want to kill the same entry level bosses over and over each week because overall item level is shit. Just saying, keep an open mind to new people.
I think the guild depended a lot on the forum to fill the ranks of the guild last expansion and we all know how that turned out. I dont think we'll have any strong cliques like we did last time starting off though, so thats a plus. I think we should invite anyone that wants to be active and encourage them to come to the board.
(Which is also why i was asking how we should handle new people not from the board!)
