It's all initiative like Taika says.

On my main's free company going back to Midas Savage, we had a clique of us raiders, and we were all part of different raid groups. We would get together to pick a night or two each week where we were mutually available and host A5S/A6S learning and weekly page clear parties for "raid-ready" members of the FC or those who didn't have a static but wanted to get weekly pages and didn't want to deal with PF at the time.

For me, growing the free company with more savage players was a fulfilling experience because that increased the pool of players we could make a parties with every week. We spend a lockout or two sometimes but we've taken people from learning to clear. For us raiders, we also get more experience on different roles and jobs. Ultimately I would have loved to taken some through A7S or further into A8S, but this was considerable time taken already. Our intent was to get them to experience savage and want to pursue it further, or get into a permanent raid group.
