A previous guild I was in went from 3 nights per week, to 4, and at the very end unsuccessfully tried to do 5 nights. Forcing the issue didn't work out for us.

Basically, the question I think the OP needs to ask is whether the players who raid 3 days per week CAN spend more time raiding. Do they have RL conflicts? Get burned out by more raidiing? Are they uncomfortable with more nights per week raiding than not raiding? etc.

The description of the guild's overall ability suggests that the issue is time as opposed to skill. I wouldn't start recruiting until you knew for sure that your A and C players simply aren't going to try raiding 4 days per week.

To Neone:

A bit OT, but my experience with raid rotations is that players (or class leaders) are tasked with filling a raid spot. For EJ, it might be the 90% attendance druid. If the person responsible for filling a spot is going to be absent, they need to both let the raid leader know AND find a replacement. So it comes down to communication, and hoping that most absences aren't truly a surprise.

Edited for clarity. Kinda.
