No feelings were hurt, Rosa, I think I know how you feel and why you felt it. :)

The officers will continue to work with some extra effort to make sure it doesn't appear we're favoring any particular clique or affilliations of real life friendships. 

Myself, I can tell you with certainty that I construct these raids with the only goal of getting the job done as efficiently as possible. I look at what the raid needs, and check the guild /who and I've even got peoples' gear memorized to some extent now. I know Alfred's best friends with Herburt, but I just want us to kill stuff good.

We can't gaurentee a spot to a raid based on whoever logged on first to get there and wait. Saying this, I hope it doesn't discourage anyone from making themselves ready and in the zone pre-invite time, because that effort is awesome and appreciated! If I formed a raid based on who logged on early and got in the zone, it would piss more people off than who get irritated at how a raid's formed right now. And I &quot;think&quot; most people are sort of ok with the way raids are now. 

I wish I could say &quot;There's not going to be any room for you in an hour and a half when raid invites start&quot; because I just can't tell. You're one of our dependable healers with Karazhan experience, so you're an important figure in the equation. 

I'll just straight up say that it came down to Masema and Rosalinda for the third healer spot. I chose Masema in this case, because there've been quite a few times where I didn't choose Masema for a raid position. Masema was also online early and stated that he wanted to go. It was neck and neck. I'm sorry it ended up with disappointing you Rosailnda, I'd be miffed if I got left out as well, but luckily I'm all raid leadery and I put my name on extra raffle tickets that I sneak into the can! 

When it comes to that important healer position, we usually come up short and I've had to play Alphatrion in a restoration spec to fill the 10 man up. We're close to being able to throw out two 10 man groups on our popular raid nights, and when this is done we won't have to worry about discluding someone.

Until then, keep faith in our inviting technique! I'm working hard to be fair and the raid sign-up calendar is being implemented into that invite choice (Though not nearly enough of those who want to raid use it, and that makes me want to spec arms and raid rest-rooms!). I might not always make the right choice, but I'm a turd with a good track record, so bear with me!
