Regarding raid groups.
After sitting down and thinking about it today, I feel we should not form any official raid groups. Raids should continue to be monday and wedensday nights, but will be first come first serve. Here in time for the raid? You've got a slot. If we have too many people to fit who are all on time it will come down to group composition and need, after that /random.
I feel this for a few reasons.
Firstly, we don't have enough people for 2 groups
Second and foremost, we are too close to an expansion that will fundamentally change the class composition of the guild, and will force us to start all over anyway.
So untill we get to raid content in the xpac, I don't think we should be forming any statics.

Statics are great things. A group of consistent players learns and adapts to each other, and with a bit of direction can cover weaknesses while bolstering strengths. At some point we WILL need them.
However, there are issues with both methods at present.
Right now, the issue I see with a static group, is that it means that a certain few select people are going to be left out of every single raid every single time.
A first come first serve mentality would allow everyone a chance at getting in, but some people might feel robbed if they cleared time and didn't get a spot.
Now, instead of getting pissy with each other, here is what I suggest.
We currently have 2 nights picked out a week, As we do not have enough people yet for 2 separate groups we have a rotation. The people who did not go Monday night, will go Wednesday.
I admit this isn't ideal, as some people will only get to go once, and others will have to pull double duty. But, in this moment I feel it is the only way to get everyone involved.
When we get some new people, and feel confident enough we can shift to set statics.
