Per the topic title I think it is time to have a discussion regarding changing and consolidating the operations groups we currently have scheduled.
I think, at this point, we have too many operations and not enough active players. All of the ops groups have lost members in the last few weeks, in many cases permanently. Several players are involved in 2 or more groups. Also, players have expressed concern over the difficulty of scheduling guild events as operations take place almost every night.
I think consolidating groups would address the issues above. Obviously changes may cause issues of their own, but we can discuss those also.
At this point I am more in the "let's discuss this" phase rather than the "let's solve this" phase. Please post if you have an opinion.

Bacon has already been purseing this line of questioning(in the mailing list). And most folks appear interested
I think what we really need is a list of when people can play so that organizing can be done.

I think what we really need is a list of when people can play so that organizing can be done. I've looked several times and I don't see a mailing list topic on this issue. Slightly concerned that this discussion, and potentially other discussions, did not reach me. That aside, if others agree let's start moving toward this goal. I agree that creating an availability list is a good next step.

To make this spreadsheet as efficient as possible, I'm going to ask for a few things.
Character names and specs (healer, tank, dps, etc)
Character location (Sith side or Republic side)
Players time zone
Players availability. Please designate if the time is a "possibility" or "guaranteed" participation time.

I'm fairly certain I haven't posted an email with this as the topic, but have replied to some with this general idea/talked about it in vent/texted with zeece about it  In general we have several players with very very specific availabilities and the combining ops idea was going to be very hard to implement (I'm bored + Pain = Impossible for example)....that being said I'm still a huge fan of the idea if we can make it work, so thanks so much for starting this thread! So here goes... Helikaon - Melee DPS OR Tank, republic Praetoris - Ranged DPS, republic Aelluna - Healer OR Ranged DPS, republic Monday-Friday 6pm-11pm central time Weekends I have decided are to remain my own. I'm not saying I won't be playing the game...just that I want to be free as a bird!! Bacon _________________

Also...before we follow through on any reorganization I would like to talk to the "I'm Bored" group as a whole...we are quite close to downing all of HM EC, and it would be pretty bad timing for us as a team to disband after putting in so much work.

Don't you worry your little head Bacon. Nothing will be solidified any time soon. I'm just making a spreadsheet to see how feasible this consolidation really is.

Karil, Jedi Sage DPS (Republic) or Nefaria, Sith Assassin Tank (Empire)
Mountain Time
Available with advance notice on Monday-Thursday evenings (7-10 pm CT), and some Sundays.
I haven't applied to any of the current ops groups with Karil because I don't really need gear anymore (at least until Terror From Beyond goes live). About the only thing of interest is HM Denova, and that mainly for the Campaign Lower Robe and Campaign Boots. I already have level 61 Armoring in all of my customizable armor, but the armoring from Campaign gear will let me finish customizing my look. The BoE Armoring drops would also be useful, as I'd like to reverse-engineer them on my Cybertech alt so I could start supplying guildmates with gear.
Nefaria isn't quite as geared up, but she averages a Rakata-level (58) gear distribution (with some Black Hole and some Columi). I haven't run any ops with her, but she's been able to purchase armoring on the GTN and get hand-me-downs from Karil.
The Heroes of the Expanse does a Friday night guild event where we periodically attempt ops (still on story mode EV with them). However, recent changes in membership mean that we're unlikely to be able to field a full team of 8. So, while I'm not available for other people's ops on that night, we may have openings in our group for ops or flashpoints.
