I joined a guild after pugging to AotC and they still have to grab pugs come raid night. For heroic and mythic.
I’ve never experienced this before. I only raided in vanilla and wrath. We always had full rosters with extra people on standby come raid night.
What has changed? Is it just lack of ml? Does pl just kill guilds? Is it just much fewer players in the pool of candidates? Bad recruiting?
The two guilds I was in that raided progression were loot council and dkp.
It’s just frustrating to finally join a guild this xpac and not be able to fill a raid.
yes, there are

Bad recruiting?
it’s 100% about recruting. recruiting to keep a raid running is absolutely an all the time thing.
you have to overfill the group - we try to run with 25-26 people on the roster, and I think that is slim.
you have to constantly be looking for new players - if you don’t have a dedicated recruitment person, you’re in for a rough time.
raiding is recruiting. very, very few people stick wtih a guild for years. People leave and they must be replaced with viable candidates.

Well, if it’s like ours, members have families to visit during the holidays. Things will pick back up soon.
Now that pugging is so quick and easy, a lot of people aren’t interested in joining raid guilds. Kind of makes you wonder why people think making mythic cross-realmable from launch would help recruitment issues…
