Those times were always a pain in tush. Once you start growing though, things should even out. Just wait till you get big enough to field two groups... that's always an epic mess XD Pledioch - Gratz on the move to Tier 6 content! We're almost there XD Just an A'lar kill away, then we'll be working on Vashj and Kael. Our RL of Awesome feels we could probably handle Rage in MH, but we shouldn't be in there yet until we're seriously working on Kael and Vashj. But yea, as for nights off, they happen. We had a week or two of regression back in Feb, cause lots of life was happening for Jas and I, but when your guild is full of friends, it's a lot easier to deal with. As long as you show you're proactive with any issues, things will turn out for the best. At least, that's the theory ^.^ Sonvar – I remember way back when AC had problems fielding a Kara group.

We've transitioned from using GroupCalendar to using a post-on-the-forums deal, but I'd really like to find something similar to your system. Anyways, those nights off do happen, and sometimes we run ZA, sometimes we run Kara for badges, and some nights nothing at all happens. Being a casual guild, it happens, and people get a bit frustrated about it, so we're trying to improve ourselves and make sure it doesn't happen very often, if at all. It reflects well on your raid leaders and officers when they react positively to a night like that. If they say 'oh were giving up, this sucks,' and that's that, everyone walks away frustrated, but if they say 'okay we dont have the right group for SSC tonight...were putting together a ZA group and a Kara group, whisper me for invites," everyone will be much happier, even if you go into ZA and only kill 2 bosses.

We only took down Prince about two weeks ago and this last week his infernals screwed us everytime. There are two problems we have repeatedly though. We don't have enough dpsers on and have to pug a person. Or we have 3 out of the four tanks on and I always feel bad that at least one of the of tanks has to sit out because its another week they aren't getting potential gear. I always hate it when someone who is on can't come along because we're full. As far as when we had to cancel our one guild leader has recommended either trying to get attuned for preBC raids or running Heroics.
