Workshops - getting 4 people in there to progress a tier is getting tedious

[AnnietheCat]

Don't get in a snit just because your FC is set up to fail.

They weren't being snit, the other person was being a dick, and now you're being rude. The facts are that this is tedious, unnecessary, and exclusionary. I run a small fc of 12 members, a few being alts and the rest being fairly active. Only two of my members craft, myself and my co-leader. That's it. No one else has fun with it, no one else wants to do it. So not only is getting a party of 4 crafters together like pulling teeth, they can't even participate because they literally do not enjoy crafting. And no one should be forced to craft. Asking my other members to stop running dungeons/raids/trials, put on their level 1 crafting class, and afk in the workshop is unfair to them, don't you think? Why should they have to stop doing what they enjoy in order to just stand around doing nothing?

There are better ways of getting this done. If they just let anyone in the fc make the turn ins, people would actually feel as though they were helping. As of now, it feels like I'm forcing them to put their fun on the back burner for my own. If it felt like it wasn't punishing us for being a small company with only 1 or 2 crafters or if it wasn't like pulling teeth getting a party together, no one would mind it. But as of now it's just really obnoxious.
