We random 1000 for all loot , spells are awarded on heal or dps parses, and we award officer of other guild who are attending the open raid with the trophies that drop to be placed in their guild hall. I bring up the officers of other guild so that folks understand that Crimson Tempest litterly uses these open raids to recrute folks for other guilds on our server. Most players are part time raiders that do not feel they have the time to invest in the raid style Crimson Tempest requires when learning new expansion. Yet , with the free accounts getting to level 90+ now and becoming gold members , We felt that these open raids can get the newer /returning folks into the raid experiance even at this limited amount.
