Shout it, shout it, shout it out LOOOOUUUD!!!

My thoughts on the guild's forum:


"I could write a mission statement (which I have in the past but I think I'll decide against it this time and spare y'all the torture!) but I doubt anyone will read it anyway. Hope this thread gets read by more people instead of just us 3 -_-

The problem with having too big a roster is someone's going to get sit out AND if people go MIA, it's easier to switch people in. It's easier to sit out 10 people while the rest of us raid than sitting 20 people cause the rest can't raid. To be honest, I dislike the latter. I've seen more guilds fall apart because of this compared to the opposite. If people who get sat out don't wanna see beyond the fact that the guild is pro-progression and needs to bring in people who can carry their own weight then -no bars held- they need to get the fuck outta here and join a 10-man casual guild instead.

I agree with Nuc's idea of having 35 full-time raiders. It keeps people on their toes: if they fuck up too much or leave too early, expect to sit out the next time. Like I said on another post "everyone's raid spot is a privilege, not a right". We all gotta fight for our spots, no matter what class we are, and it don't matter who the fuck we know in the guild.

And people have to understand though, most of the time getting sat out is not personal. Sitting out is part of raiding. I've seen people go "I'll sit out for this so you can get [insert loot], but you sit out cause I want in on this fight". That's teamwork + communication right there. We need more of that, to be honest.

If we need to compete to stay on top of this server, internally we NEED to compete for our raid spots too.

This is probably the most vicious guild I have ever been in. "You don't do your job? You get told HARSHLY to do it. You still don't wanna do it? GTFO" If people suck they better know it, and they better get their asses in check the next time they take someone else's raid spot. There is always room to improve and I don't understand how people can't see that fact sometimes. Not only that, there are people that play the same class as you in guild. Discuss your class!!!

If people are desperate to stay raiding, they better be a bit more assertive and kick their own asses. With that the officers (and even the raiders) will know who are the dedicated raiders and who's not. It's not just skill we're concentrating on right now, you know? I am not saying that skill isn't a plus to have, but if you're MIA most of the time, how exactly can you help the guild again?

Anyways, Imma end my rage here. Glad you brought this up, Blackmorgrim, and thank you Nuclayer for doing a good job as recruitment officer."
