I know from experience too, that while you can make a 5 man static work that schedules on the fly, it's practically impossible to find 8 people who mostly have changing schedules, and then find times where everyone can be on
So make a static like this? I know of a few groups that are actually 3-6 people and they pug the rest weekly. Do whatever works for you to get through the content. If you can't be in a "normal" static because of your RL schedule, that's completely understandable. You'll either need to pug or find some way to work around your limitations, and the onus is on you to do so. You're going to find that the majority of raiders prefer the stability of a complete 8 man static, but there are those willing to have a looser arrangement. Try making or joining a linkshell for endgame content, maybe? I know when my static is looking for subs, the first places we go are linkshells, friend lists, and FC's. Party Finder is for when we've exhausted our other options and we're willing to roll the dice. :3
