Based on the current results of the poll, it looks like people think that we need 5-7 more people for 25 man content.  Being new to FSE, I was wondering how many people will be returning.  I also know that for the most part, the people who are on and ready to go get into raids.  

The question posed in this thread was hypothetical.  I was merely attempting to discern if there was anyone else who was into strategy by asking a question that has no immediate affect on our gameplay.

I am a creative strategist.  I see most players and guilds trying to utilitarianistically maximize potential by forcing gear, spec, and raid attendance.  I am firmly against this practice.  It requires little thought, and even less creativity.  To maximize the potential of a raid there are far many more factors to consider in the kind of raid groups that we have.  From what I have seen thus far, FSE is the guild that best uses the resourses that it has to accomplist what it sets out to do.

There is one aspect of the game that I try to maximize, and it is Enjoyment.  I enjoy strategy.  Making the best use of the people that we have, without forcing them to change their playstyle (there are obvious exceptions to this way of thinking, I for example have changed how I play, and the result is I die about 60% less now than when I apped to FSE)  When BC comes out, there will be no automatic Strats for boss fights, alot of wiping and changes in tactics.  

I see that hybrid classes and off-specs seem to be underused in PVE (in general), because figuring out how to do so is too much of a chore for most people.  I actually enjoy it.

I was wondering how many off-specs FSE will have while come BC, and how they can best used while we raid.  Seeing people's response to the original question will assist my thought process  :wink:
