Yoshi P: Please Consider a Better Raiding System in 3.0 - Beyond Statics

[raelgun]

In most MMOs people design and recruit for their guild around the max number of players needed for end game. For example a popular mmo with 25 man raids you would have your core 25 raiders + 3-5 bench players because there will people who can't show up for whatever reason and non raiders who are there to be casual or social with the other people who do raid.

FFXIV is no different its just instead of 25 that number is 8.

Now this is false, you dont recruit specifically for bench, was replying to someone else, but its the same thing, you recruit and rotate out fairly, as its not possible to have people for 100% but you still want everyone to basically meet your criteria, this is just using worse case scenario.
