Loot bag = win.

Only one Operation up at launch, so we'll have plenty of time to gear ourselves for the next steps AND get PvP gear.

I'll be up for helping on any Raid's with this many active people in the angel's it shouldn't be hard to get people together to do it!

The loot bag is a very nice idea, I wonder if when you start to get Duplicate items -- since it belongs to you from your bag, if they are BoE or BoP.

I've been considering Operations for a while now. Specifically Op team make up.

The 8 man Op Team would maybe consist of something like:
Tanks: 2 - Ideally 1 melee and 1 ranged
Healers: 2-3 - A healer on each tank and a raid healer that could also dps when the two primary healers can handle incoming damage
DPS: 3 with at least two being ranged

The 16 man Op Team would be maybe something like:
Tanks: 2 - Ideally 1 melee and 1 ranged
Healers: 3 - A healer on each tank and a raid healer
DPS: 11 with at least one that could tank and one that could heal to be swing players in the right situations. Based on what I've seen in game play I think there should be a ratio of 2 ranged for each melee dps.

As for organization I would think based on what we know teams of 8 (maybe from each order) should complete raids to learn the content then two 8 man teams get together to give the 16 man content a run. This assumes that the 8 man raids are a little easier to run based on content and scheduling. It would be nice to do something like run 8 mans during the week on these days to learn content then run a 16 man later in the week on these other days. If the raids share a lockout then it would be run an 8 man this week to get ready for the 16 man next week.

I love the idea of order based teams but I think we'll end up getting OP teams from people who play at similar times rather than strictly orders.

Loot bags are a great idea.

Do we have a raid coordinator/leader yet? Basically someone that has the point on all things raiding? Might be a good idea to appoint one sooner rather than later.
