At present it would seem the rank structure and how high you are in the sign-ups doesnt matter...I have heard that people are getting sick of doin Naxx and therefore the higher content will be raided instead. This is going to cause a real divide between Officer Elite group and the rest of the guild. If i get an invite to a Naxx raid from a friend, i will be accepting it (if i want to go), with or without officer permission. The guild can no longer sustain the number raiding members it holds. I know not to sign up to a weekend raid if im locked.
I know this is going to make me unpopular, but i no longer care.
I anyone has any problems with this please say and ill remove my raiding characters from the guild to save you the bother.

Dont get me wrong i wasnt saying people shouldnt raid outside our guild, and its not a problem, its just that at the very least officers should be asked and raiders need to be aware of this.
As for the whole "were raiding higher content stuff instead of naxx" well i dont know how true that is, when you consider there isnt much else other than naxx, and that naxx is still the main one we will be doing that most for a logn time to come. I have only heard official remarks about trying the newer stuff, but nothing about stopping naxx all together.
For the number of raiders we have again im confused. In terms of sign ups we are still struggling to get healers and tanks for multiple groups and for the 25 man raids [hence todays single group which in fairness alot of the newer raiders were given priority hence the achievment spams in guild], so to suggest we have too many raiders is a littler perplexing given our current situation.
The elitism remark i wont comment much on. To an extent it does exist, this issue has been adressed in officer chat and the officer forum and trust me, its far better than it used to be, and unfortunately alot of the decisions made arent because of the officers being elitist, but it may seem so to some members.
As for your decisions towards raiding with your friends i dont mind, and its fine for me as long as your aware fully of your actions and the effects it may have upon you raid sign up status. If you constantly raid outside of the guild the sad fact is your position in our own may be shifted lower.
How ever, your opinion on this will be noted, and i do feel this is something i should make aware to the other officers, because we cant ignor the fact you may not be the only one with outlooks like this and if other guild members truly feel the same it should be adressed.
