Inflexible raid sizes in 5.4 normal 10-man

After the fun we have had being able to all raid together in the flexible-sized Flex Mode raids, it is relatively heart-breaking to have to pare down the raid attendees on a 10-man Normal Mode raid night.

As we transition to more nights spent in Normal Mode now in 5.4, that means more nights without the full roster in the raid.

It will be disappointing to not be in the raid on those nights - and we know this. I made sure I was the first one to be rotated out a couple of weeks ago. This week several players were geared enough and had to bench it.

And so it will continue until we have a flexible size to Normal Mode raids -- which could drop before 6.0 in the summer, but most likely will come with 6.0 as a major feature of that expansion.

We will do the utmost to rotate people fairly through the rosters so that people get to raid, however we will not do it in a manner that compromises the ability of the raid to accomplish the intent of zoning in.

With the introduction recently of the flex group finder, it is recommended that those not zoning in that night to Normal Mode 10-man, zone in to a Flex mode - fill the gaps with the flex group finder. Either cover the wings we didn't cover in the Wed night run, or repeat them for practice (loot isn't everything!)

 /looking forward to not having an inflexible raid size be the hurdle keeping raiders from contributing to progression!
