25-man organisation and information

Just a few pieces of info to keep everyone informed:

1. NiKarma

We're running with NiKarma in 25-mans as from tonight (last week is counted a s a test run only, and we have corruptions joining us from today so this is the start point). Please make sure you have read the "NiKarma - Quick guide for raiders" I have put as a sticky in this forum (so I dont have to explain it in raid tonight).

2. Balancing

We will be balancing for 25-man using the same method as previously; i.e. I maintain a spreadsheet with all signing/attendance counts, and priority in next balance goes to people with highest signed+missed %.

3. Rank changes and Veteran threshold

We will be introducing the planned rank change very soon. This will effectively mean that (i) everyone becomes 'raider' rank, (ii) defined kit levels will be announced (per class/spec), (iii) those people who are higher than these thresholds will be made 'veteran' rank. Veterans will then get priority during balance for 25-man raiding (all ranks can still sign, it wont be 'veteran-only'). Expect this change within a week.

quick question just to make sure, this means attendance is tracked for each 25man separately or together? As example, I miss out on Gruul but can go to SSC. Does this mean that next week I have 1/0 and 1/1 or 2/1 signing/attendance?

literal answer is 1/2 (invited/signed -> 50% figure used for subseuqent balancing priority), i.e. tracked overall, not per instance (since karma is also cross-25man content also, representing total raiding effort). That said, the s/sheet will include which instance/run, so if need be things can be split out; In the past (with Kara for example) we've tried to vary which nights people run as well, so people aren't always getting same bosses etc, where possible.
