Considering you're leveling priest, which, frankly, isn't fastest option, it might take somewhere between 30 to 45 days, since you are already level 26.

On good side, this, possibly, spreads loot evenly around the house. On bad side, this loot system doesn't encourage raid preparation. I can see this system working for first couple of weeks, even months, but once MC/Ony is farmed and you start having people who need just item or two it can grow into a problem since you haven't clearly explain what would happen to those players, how do you separate them etc...Some may simply decide to miss raid if they are not on top of list. Imo, don't try to reinvent wheel. Go as simple as possible and rather focus on creating good healthy environment, functional leadership, improving your own raid leading skills then trying to find completely fresh kind of loot distributing system. That is just waste of energy in wrong direction.

You're welcome.

1. Flasks. No simple answer to this question, really. It all depends on what kind of guild do you want to create. Whoever tell you that they don't require flasks, they are absolutely right, but there are also certain benefits from requesting flask using, by some or by everyone. Obviously, flasked, you would be able to down content in shorter period of time. Secondly, people usually don't consider that what you lose (gold-wise)for getting those flasks for raid, you kinda make it up by spending less consumables. Personally, I go for flask whenever there is something to be gained from it. Might be best option to ask your officers for opinion, whatever they decide is fine for the raid, just you'll get some plus as leader for not being knucklehead who doesn't listen anyone. 2.DKP vs. LC Let's get one thing straight. You won't ever make a perfect loot distribution, those who want to complain will always find the reason to complain. Just, from my own experience, and I guild lead and raid lead since 2011 on different vanilla servers, usually those who complain much aren't exactly top-notch players. You would do best if you combine good sides of both loot systems into one. Here are few things that you should care about: -don't swing loot just in one direction, keep track when each player last time got an item, so that loot can be distributed equally -avoid by all means officer prio on anything -reward those who are active and specially those who are being fully prepared for raids in term of consumables that they bring for every raid night -old raiders should not be entitled to everything, but you also have to reward them when they really need something. Keeping balance between new vs old is key to keep guild running. This is all I can think about right now, but this is really complex topic and it was debated earlier on this forum. I'd suggest that you check those topics and get bit wider view on this matter. 3. Raid Composition I raided mostly as alliance, therefor I might miss some important thing regarding shamans, but basic idea should be same-ish. Also, make note that raid composition for progression raids and for farm raids isn't exactly the same. For progression I'd go with: 4x tanks 2x hunters 10x melee dps 12x rdps (mages+warlocks, sp only after debuff slot increase) 12x healers Optionally, you can lower number of healers to 10, and replace those two with some dps, but it depends what kind of players do you have in your raid. If there's too many fresh vanilla players, or those who have get rusty trough years, 12 healers seems like safer option. 4.Raid/Guild Leading You should never have too many voices speaking during boss fights. Too many people speaking at same time can cause confusion and in some cases that is what makes difference between kill and wipe. Ideally RL will be rdps, simply because it's best balanced PoV/obligations. More often then not, all that tank see are feet and crotch of boss, therefor simply can't see what's going on in the raid. On other hand, healers are too focused on their healing addons to always notice what's going on for good or bad in the raid. Personally, I found paladins to be exception from this rule (flash heal spam), but since you wanna play on horde that is not option for you. Regarding raid leading it self, i might be telling something that is obvious, so forgive me. But, you should keep camera distance maxed out, to increase your own field of view. Also, if possible, try to keep as calm as possible. Shouting on VoIP when фекал hit the fan can only have effect of deer caught in far lights. On other hand, there are situation that can be fixed only with swift kick in the but. It's all about balancing carrot and stick. Also, you might want to delegate some guys from your leadership to do some specific tasks during raids. Observe buffing, using consumables, assign healers, do some special announcements (f/e melee in and out, for some fights, remind decurse/dispell, etc...) When it comes to guild leading it all depends what kind of environment do you want to create, but basically, you can help your self by letting more people handle all necessities that would otherwise burn out single person sooner or later. Keep an eye on number of active raiders, recruit people before you need them rather then after you start needing them. Yes, you can clear MC with 30 people or less but it wears off players. It is easier if you have full raid, and also, when average player see half empty raid he tend to jump to conclusion that guild is not serious, etc... 5. Addons Raid Leading Addons -CT_Raid Assist+CT_Raid Spy To perform numerous checks (resistance gear check, number of exact consumable type in players bag, raid vote, raid invite, Tank monitor, Cooldowns for CR/Ankhs/Soul Stones etc...). One important thing to know, everyone in raid must have CT_Raid assist in order to make them self visible to person performing checks. You can also use CT_Raid for Raid Frames, but you can also use some other that are looking better then this one. -Anaron's Wow Mod Check for missing food/potion/flask or raid buff -Dps Mate I really like this one. Finaly can see who is slacking on decursing, breaking cc, making friendly fire...on top of regular healing/dps metter Must have addons for your raiders -random healing addon of player's choice Healers only. If player can explain you how he is raid healing without addon, that can be accepted, but if they are like "I'm not using addons to keep vanilla feeling", it is quite likely that you have player who can't heal outside party that you put him in. It's up to you to decide how you gonna deal with this issue. -Decursive Any class capable of clensing/decursing/dispelling...Simplify removing curse/ dispelling magic, guess you horde scum <3 don't have to worry that much about disease and poison with your totems. -NECB Enemy castbar, for all classes capable of some kind of interrupt/stun -KTM (KlhThreatMetter) Must have, for all. -BigWigs Vanilla boss timers. Must have for all I hope I did not miss anything

Unless you run the game on windows 98, you'll be just fine if you play music that you like from any media player.

Check your latency. That might be reason why you are experiencing this.

You can configure those addons to show you what you want to be shown.

Now that is what I call a proper troll.

Try dancing naked.

First of all, I haven't said new machine. I said what I said because I red this before I have started jumping to conclusions: https://forum.elysium-project.org/index.php?showtopic=24450#entry259209

Don't let the doors hit you.

I can see that combo hitting mobs like enraged grand ma. Might work tho, if priest can manage his mana.

Your avatar is adorable!

I'd like you to explain to me how does server latency affect client loading speed after you are already logged into server?

Omg! You are clairvoyant!

Do you run any addons? Do you use default amount of memory for addons?

Confirmed retard.

Sure. Will you donate for new server?

No. It's not just this community. It is idiocracy all over the world...Just easier to notice them in environment where they can express their opinion. Sometimes I doubt internet was a good thing.

If you are talking about loading screen after you get on server and select character, it has nothing to do with server. It is happening because of number and optimization of addons that you are using.

Roll feral druid then. Basically rogue in kitty form, but you can if you want rdps, tank, heal....whatever...

Before I dig my self deeper into this post, let me first state that I agree with Walgrave for the most of his post. I am completely sold on idea for content being more difficult, mostly just because I have cleared most of it more then once. I would not mind having content buffed, but the problem is that it won't solve anything. Yes, progression kill and first couple of runs after might be harder then they originally are but after we get few pieces of shiny gear we will find our self again swimming in the same pond. Bottom line, that is only temporary solution. However, I like that you mention Gummy-style Razorgore, That's the way to go, imo. Change the fights, put players into uncharted water, now that would be a long term solution. Imagine, say, Lucifron fight. Have him spawn another 2 adds, on top of his usual curse and magic, every 30 seconds. Or, say, Gehenas. Why not make Gehenas vulnerable to damage only couple of seconds after you kill adds. Then spawn another 2 adds after 30 seconds, Couple that with his curse and rain of fire...and so on...I'm just brainfarting here, but wouldn't that bring back some real excitement more then just buffing damage, buffing hp, etc...? There are few realistic problems tho. First of all, that would cost. Time and money. People are already funding servers just to keep things running as they are... Secondly, and maybe most importantly, who give us right to say what's good and what's wrong for the other people? Idk about you, but I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to change their opinion on this topic whatsoever. They have the right to play game they want it to play. And ofc, you can say that we are finding our self on the wrong side of the dick and that we are not getting what we want. But like Undertanker said, it comes with territory. We get the bragging rights on forums and in our guild chats. Cheers. Was nice reading topic of someone who share same basic view on this issue as I do.

Right click realm list file, and go to "Security" tab. Click on "Advanced" button In "Advanced Security" window click "Change Permissions" button and then in new window unclick "include inheritable permissions from object's parent", then click Remove. Now add your account name or account that has admin rights on your computer, and check box "Full Control". After that you will be able to save changes to realmlist file as boys described it above.

Dude I'm trolling you. Don't take seriously everything that I wrote. But more importantly, stop taking your self so seriously. You'll have much happier life and won't have as many disappointments irl because you will eventually learn that regardless of what your mama told you, you're not always right, you're not always smartest in the room, and to be frank with you, except her and maybe your father none else give a pile of poo for your opinion. I'm off to farm some herbs, see you on the forums.
