I'm looking for a good mod that monitors raider attendance. I did poke through this forum first to see if there was one posted, and I didn't see one. If I missed it, I apologize.
I dont use a mod, I log (or have someone log) all our raids so we can look through the logs. A side effect of that is worldoflogs.com has a raid attendance display that shows me who attends each raid and what their attendance % is for the last month.
I like HeadCount because it'll export to PHPBB format and that means easy posting on the forums when it's all done so everyone can get a list of the loot and know who showed up.
We recently moved from NRT + EQDKP to using Headcount.
Moving over to Headcount was an awesome move from an admin POV for a couple of reasons. One it is much simpler to use and has a much cleaner interface than NRT, it doesn't require something like EQDKP to export to (which never worked 100% efficiently anyway) and it has the ability to output in CSV format. This means that you can copy the contents to a notepad, save it with a .csv extension and then open it with excel. I then copy and paste this into an excel spreadsheet, which subsequently allows me to pivot and report on all the data. I update this spreadsheet on a weekly basis and post it on our guild forums.
The counter argument here was that not everyone would have excel, however with open office being freely available and able to open these files I do not think this counter argument holds any water. Also for those of you who run vbulletin rather than PHPbb the PHPbb output mode will also work for posting into threads as the BB code is almost identical.
EDIT: Headcount also has a standby list so people who aren't in the raid will still get the tick in the box for attendance.
I use headcount.
FYI Deadly Boss Mods also has an attendance/loot/standby optional addon (which I've never investigated deeply, but looks like it works).
fyi, also get Loggerhead. It automatically starts combatlogging for you.
