Making some good points Ramsy, but because we are a small group we're already stretched in terms of jobs per player. We have a few tanks, but because of the nature of Dynamis-D (60 hour wait is incredibly naive of SE) it's not always possible to have two players with a tank job.
There's also the fact half of my group already have other linkshells running Dyna-D at times which make it impossible for them to join mine. Sadly, the other linkshells times either suit me only (and not my dad at all), or they run way too late.
Last month, me (SCH), my dad (BLM), and one of the pearlsacks (they duo boxed pld and whm) did Windurst mid boss with only three of us because we had the bases covered. Yesterday, I forgot that we can summon trusts, and luckily our WHM could handle taking care of AAEV. We had a blu as well, but I don't think they were prepared to do anything more than stun.
As for doing more than one event a week, I have wanted this for at least two years. However, the issue is that I cannot reliably say I can set up an event on any other day every week. I am an admin of a website, so I use the other days in the week to work, and while I could be free one Thursday, it doesn't mean I'll be free the next. Also, some of our LS members do events with other LS or are simply unavailable, which makes setting up a second event extremely tricky. I also cannot promise weekends because I have my daughter visiting every fortnight, so it would be wrong of me to do that. I could always do it after she goes to sleep, but generally I like to rest instead so I am not tired the next day.
However! I do regularly try to set up optional events. We do Ambuscade and Dynamis-D at least once a month, and I try to get as many of our members involved; and I ask my dad's social LS too if we're short of people. The sad thing is I cannot commit with an exact day per week. Literally, the only way this could happen is if a LS member took it upon themselves to set up and LEAD these runs every week.
It would be great for me, because even if I can't show up I would know the LS is capable of 2 events a week. But... no one will do that. I have asked, and asked, and asked, but if I don't lead things nothing happens. This is just the way it is for us, and the lack of players on the server sometimes means we can set something up... waste 1-2 hours yelling, and then not have the people to do it. So it's painful, but I guess that's what we have to deal with.
PS: We'd like to bring a tank so we can actually farm as well, instead of only doing the midboss and having to exit afterwards.
