This is off-topic and contributes nothing to the discussion, and in fact led to a significant derail. The OP was not subtle or generic. It asked a very specific question about how to deal with a very specific issue. It has nothing whatsoever to do with mid-tier guilds having time to "catch up." There are a dozen other threads in which to discuss that.

You know the capabilities of your guild, and if you have a set amount of new content in front of you, it should probably be rationed better if you know it's going to be awhile before the new stuff comes out.

That said, you're not going to find much sympathy from people still slogging through T4-T5 content, and that's the majority of raiders at the moment.

As someone 'slogging' through T5 at the moment (4/6, 2/4), we're anticipating killing Illidan before Sunwell is released. We're dropping a boss a week on average - although knowing that we'll hit a road block at Vashj/KT - but I can't see us not being 4/5 + 4/9 or so by the end of the calendar year. As Gurg already mentioned, I expect that 2.4 will be Q1 2008 - February strikes me as likely.

I think it's nice to see mid-range guilds given an opportunity to 'catch up', personally - obviously, a perspective issue.
