A Guild Billed as Thrilled to Build Remains Unfulfilled

This is what should be happening:
  • Scheduled "Guildie Help Days", where guildies help other guildies level, gear, and achieve.
  • Creation of two core groups of senior players to run Naxx 10s to gear guildies and understand how to raid.
  • Creation of two core groups to run Uld 10s to get more players experience with downing those bosses.
  • Scheduled Naxx 10s (two groups) every week.
  • Scheduled Uld 10s (two groups) every week.

Once there are enough geared players to run the 25s, those should get scheduled. Until then, the 25s and other 10s can be a chance for guildies to raid at other times.



What should not be happening:
  • Declining invites for a scheduled raid, and then raiding at that time anyway.
  • Playing favorites.
  • Lack of consistency of personal raiding time limitations and actions.
  • Including guildies in raids they are not geared for, including alts.
  • Ignoring and/or dismissing those that have helped get the guild to where they are in raid progression.

None of those behaviors align with the principles established for most guilds, and certainly not those espoused as the foundation for Honor and Glory.

This isn't a discussion. This isn't up for debate. We all know this is the right way. If you don't want to face that, /gkick me. Otherwise, let's get this figured out. If the real answer is that this is a completely casual raiding guild, then that needs to be established and communicated to the guild... and we need to stop talking about guild progression.
