We get shit numbers, then all we do is go from bh to fog and repeat. And if we run into anyone (usually PH) 3 things can happen: 1. We Run 2. We Log 3. We Die its a waste of time and rune. just do weekly megaraids or even fortnightly megaraids so we go above level 20 wilderness, whichi havnt done in over 2 months im guessing. --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||

Then, people complained they were too random and we need a more organized system - so we made weekly raids. Then, this happens. --------------------   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332 | I've been against weekly raids for a for a very long time. I've said my reasons countless of times.  - Terrible turnouts - We cant take another clan. The only people we can take are teams, or random strays. Remember when we ran into BE? They're no namers and they still gave us a run for our money. We're forced to track down PH every week. Why? Because they suck, and they're disorganized. We dont have the numbers to take on anything tougher. - They're not "important." To the regular members, its just another "raid." It doesnt prioritise that much. After all, theres 3 per week. This is one of the reasons for the terrible turnouts. - Instead of a GOOD, QUALITY Raid, we have many low quality raids. Instead of making 3 per week, there should be ONE megaraid for each timezone. I dont know about you guys, but id rather go out ONCE a week with 70-100 opts then go out with 20 3 times. This is completely contrasting Lordy's speech, calling for less but better quality events. - One of the reasons FOR regular raids are because WG was at it's peek activity for these regular raids. There were probably much more factors, some more influential. -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Olivier1o1 Group: Guest Posts: 208 Member No.: 1744 Joined: February 27, 2009 Total Events Attended: 17 | I like the idea of one big raid per timezone. This leads to several big raids a week, and the people who can make it can attend multiple large raids. Also, there needs to be more advertising of the raids. I remember, back when I was first around, that #wg would be filled with spam, everyone would get multiple pm's about the raid, and we'd be prodded into it. It worked well, and I'm not sure if we're still doing that. If not, then start doing it again! If we are doing it, and people are just ignoring the messages, what does that say about their commitment to the clan? I can understand things such as "I'm at a boss, not right now, in a few I can come," or things such as "IRL issues, AFKing at bandits" etc. etc. If people have a genuine reason not to come, don't force them. However, furthering that thought: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidance. Third time, it's a conspiracy. In other words, the first time someone says they're doing something else, leave em be. The second time, leave em be. The third time, keep prodding. -------------------- | ||||

Megariads own Weekly raids anyday...tbh I don't see why we even have weekly raids because Megaraids are so much better. W/e this will be ignored and nothing will happen. --------------------    | ||||

Perhaps I am just seeing one side of things, but the last couple Aussie raids(which i attended), -no one- died more than twice. A few died once, and at least half didn't die at all. If you are losing 5 sets at a raid, I think you are doing something wrong. Perhaps you need to train DEF, or perhaps the raid leaders are running you into clans you can't possibly beat - In which case they need to be replaced or told to shape up.

This ^ Not to mention f2p loses you just as much per death as p2p does if you use a black dragonhide top and some other things. --------------------   | ||||
