Yep! I feel the same way Aleister!
A few months back we lost 2 static members, we knew no one at the time to fill those roles, but we went out there to meet people and we were ready to teach anyone that fit in with us anything they needed to know. There are plenty of competent people out there, just have to take the time to find em.
Expansion will bring lots of people and everyone will be back at square one since there is no coil locking them out of the raids. There will be plenty of people looking for groups then. Helping people is fine, I do it every day but going any further then that is just extra in my opinion.
