Hi Wooley,
In The Process we do not recruit “bench” raiders, substitutes, or casual raiders, and we do not do so because frankly, we find them unreliable. We recruit to a roster of 25 players and everyone on that roster, apart from the tanks and raid leader, gets rotated on a per-week, per-role basis. We have 25 players so that we can handle the attendance boss, not so we can class stack or maintain backups.
I will note that our level of guild activity is a little bit low in the pre-expansion lul, but you’ll see plenty of guild activity once this expansion hits.
The biggest thing for us is fostering a positive and productive raid culture that leads to long-term success. For the details, check out our guild spam I’ve linked below. You can also watch the linked videos in there to get an idea of what it feels like during a progression pull and during a farm pull. If you like what you see, drop us an application (linked in the guild spam).
